Posting multiple batches with a macro

In a recent forum post, a GP user wanted to use a macro to post multiple batches using the Purchasing Batch Entry window. Sounds easy enough, but wait!

The macro worked fine for posting a single batch, but when the second batch was added, the macro always failed. The reason for the failure is that a Progress window pops up each time you post a Purchasing Batch. The Progress window is shown below:

progress window

In order to solve this problem, you need to account for the opening of this window in your macro. When you record a macro during posting, the macro system does not record it correctly. Below is a comparison of the right way and the way the macro system records it.

The RIGHT way:
NewActiveWin dictionary 'default'  form 'Progress_Control' window 'Progress_Window'

The WRONG way:
ActivateWindow dictionary 'default'  form 'Progress_Control' window 'Progress_Window'

The complete macro to post two batches in a row is below.

Until next post!
 
Here’s the macro.

Each command should be on a single line, it should not wrap.

CommandExec dictionary 'default' form 'Command_Purchasing' command 'POP_Batch_Entry'
NewActiveWin dictionary 'default' form 'POP_Batch_Entry' window 'POP_Batch_Entry'


#!BATCH POSTING 1

NewActiveWin dictionary 'default' form 'POP_Batch_Entry' window 'POP_Batch_Entry'

Processing 2012 Payroll year end after loading 2013 payroll tax tables

Variations of this problem have been popping up everywhere, as it often does when changes are made to the payroll tax percentages and limits. I wrote this up to answer one of the forum posts, so I thought I would brush it off and publish it.
Here was the scenario:
The company had downloaded the 2013 payroll tax tables and processed 2013 payroll, but neither closed 2012 payroll nor installed the year end update for 2012.
Now they need to close 2012 payroll and then return to processing 2013 payroll. Here’s what I would do to get back on track.
1.       Download and install the January hotfix of Dynamics GP 2010, this includes the year end tax update (as well as a hot fix). The current build is 11.00.2164. It was released 01/24/2013. Be sure you have a backup, this will require a table update. Backup your forms and reports dictionaries and create package files for all of your modifications.
2.       Open the Payroll Tax Tables window and change your FICAS tax code to a wage limit of $110,100 and a rate of 4.2%
a.       To open the Payroll Tax Tables window follow the instructions below.
b.      Navigate to: Administration | Setup | System | Payroll Tax.

c. Select the FICAS tax code, select the Apply Tax Table item and click the Filing Status button.

d. Select the NA filing status and click the Tables button

e. Edit the table rates and change the But Not Over column to $110,100 and the Tax Rate column to 4.2% and then click the OK button.

3.   Click Save on the Payroll Tax Filing Status window.
4.   Click Save on the Payroll Tax Setup window.
5.   Now, your going to remove the extra Medicare Tax for the high income earners.
a. In the Payroll Tax Setup window select the Tax Code FICAM, Apply Tax Table, and then click the Filing Status button.

b. Select the NA filing status and click the Tables button

c. To remove the second row in the table, place your cursor in the second row, choose Edit from the menu bar and then Delete Row.

d. Now you need to adjust the first row's maximum wage by entering $999,999,999.99 in the But Not Over column. Click OK to save and close the window.

6.   Click Save on the Payroll Tax Filing Status window.
7.   Click Save on the Payroll Tax Setup window.
8. Change the user date to 12/31/2012 (anything in 2012 will do)
9.   Create the year end wage file (close payroll).
10.  Make sure you’re happy with the W-2 amounts.
11.  Load the 2013 tax tables using the Payroll Tax Updates wizard
12.  Check to make sure the FICAS amounts reset to a wage limit of $113,700 and a rate of 6.2%
13.  Check to make sure the FICAM table includes the 2.35% extra for wages over $200,000.00.
14.  Don't forget to set the User Date back to the right date to process 2013 payroll!
That should get you fixed back up.
Until next post!

Move Expired SOP Quotes to History

Expired quote documents do not move to the SOP history table on their own. If you want to move them to the SOP history table they need a little help. For my clients that want to keep their quotes, but do not want them to stay in the Work table, I create a stored procedure that runs periodically to clean up SOP Work file.

I use this SQL statement:

--copy line items from expired quotes to history

I feel certain there is a more elegant solution out there, but this one has been working for a long time.

Let me know what you think and help me approve this process.

Until next post.

2013 Payroll Tax Update–Round 2

It’s that time of year again! Time to change the payroll tax tables, and then change them again.

Round 1 of the 2013 payroll tax tables adjusted the employee FICA percentage back to 6.2% but did not include changes to the withholding tables themselves. Terry Heley at Microsoft sent out an email yesterday evening letting us all know that they are still on track to release Round 2 of 2013 tax update today or tomorrow.

Another issue coming up is that the employer and employee FICA amounts are not coming out the same even though they are the same percentage. For example, I put in a gross pay of $1,000 and the system calculated the employer FICA at $62.00 and the employee FICA at $62.01. This is frustrating, but you are not doing anything wrong.

Terry tells us there is ‘rounding’ code written in the employee side, but not the employer. This issue will be addressed in a Hotfix due out at the end of the week ending 01/21/2013.

Round 2 of the 2013 tax tables will also be issued for version 10 customers, but that will be the last one. The January Hotfix will not be issued to version 10 customers.

Hope you are all having a fun year-end close!

Until next post
