More free bullets for PSTL

In my last article, I looked at the free PSTL tools available for the Dynamics GP Purchasing Series.  In this article I will continue looking at the free PSTL tools.  As a reminder, PSTL is the Professional Service Tools Library for Microsoft Dynamics GP.  The powerful suite of tools provide great flexibility in working with Dynamics GP.  There are over 40 tools available, and 15 of them are actually free.  The other tools typically cost between $750 and $1,500, with special pricing available for bundles or the entire suite.

The additional free tools are in the Sales, Inventory and System Series.

SOP PO Number Check:
This tool adds important functionality to Sales Order by checking Customer PO Numbers for duplicates as data is entered into the PO Number field on both the SOP Entry window and the SOP Customer Detail Entry.

Different rules can be defined for each SOP Type with the choice of five different warning types.  The warnings include: Do Nothing, Warn, Warn and Ask, Warn and Reject, Warn and Password.  It is also possible to create a customer warning message.

Territory Modifier:

This tool changes territory IDs in the system.  The result is a new territory ID with no loss of data.

Territory Combiner:

As a company grows and reorganizes, it is common to restructure sales territories.  With the territory combiner tool, it is possible to combine a territory ID into another territory ID without losing any work, open or history records.  After the combination, the old territory is removed from the system.

Item Reconciler:

This tool increases performance when performing item reconciliation maintenance.  Only those items that need reconciling will be reconciled using the PSTL.

Menu Inquiry Utility:

This tool allows you to see all of the commands on the menus, hidden or not, and helps identify where those commands come from (which product) and other properties of the commands.

Update User Date: (*GP2010 only)

This tool automatically updates the User Date at midnight.  This tool can be useful when the solution is left open on a machine overnight running integrations or other processes.

Copy Company: (*GP2010 only)
I have previously written about this tool in my Easy way to copy company blog.

In future articles I will look at other tools used by many Dynamics GP users.  Remember PSTL is available for download from CustomerSource.
