How Do I Uninstall the Intercompany Postings module ?

To completely uninstall the Nolans Intercompany Postings module, carry out the following -

1. Nolans Intercompany replaces some Microsoft Great Plains stored procedures in EACH company database with our own versions, the original stored procedures have the word Backup added to them. There could be up to three of these, depending on which version of Intercompany is being run. You should firstly drop the replacement stored procedures:

   glpPostToCurrentYear
   glpPostToHistoryYear
   glpPostNormalTransaction

   NOTE: Only delete one of the above stored procedures where a corrosponding backup version exists. (see point 2)

2. Next rename the backup versions of the stored procedures to the original name. The stored procedures are:

   glpPostToCurrentYearBackup
   glpPostToHistoryYearBackup
   glpPostNormalTransactionBackup

   NOTE: The last two may not be present unless a very recent version of Intercompany is being run.

3. In each client directory, delete the intercom.dic dictionary, and, if present, the NCLF2429.dic and NCLR2429.dic modified forms and reports dictionaries. Edit the Dynamics.set file to remove all references to Nolans Intercompany.

4. Make sure security is reset to the standard Microsoft Great Plains windows from the Nolans Intercompany alternate windows. You can check which these are by looking at the current security settings for alternate windows in the Nolans Intercompany dictionary.

5. Remove all Nolans Intercompany palette items, they are:

   Setup >> Financial >> NC IC Std. Accounts
   Setup >> Financial >> NC IC Templates
   Setup >> Financial >> NC IC Setup
   Setup >> Financial >> NC IC Alt. Accounts
   Transactions >> Financial >> NC IC Import
   Transactions >> Financial >> NC IC Export
   Reports >> Financial >> Intercompany Reports

   If desired (although this is not strictly necessary), remove all Intercompany tables from the Microsoft Great Plains and company databases, these all begin with NCIC.

Error Msg: Invalid Rate Type, User Needs To Create One

If you receive the message 'Invalid Rate Type, User Needs To Create One' on the Imported Intercompany Transactions Report when importing intercompany transactions in a destination company, this is probably due to the fact that the Rate Type ID on the Source Company transaction is not a valid Rate Type ID in the destination company. Check the Rate Type ID setup in the destination company.

Exchange Table ID Inactive Error On Importing Intercompany Transaction

Unfortunately we do not allow modification of anything other than the Rate Type ID and the Exchange Rate on the Intercompany Import window due to the complexity of the calculations that would be needed to recalculate the currency values. One way to overcome this would be as follows:

1. Activate the Exchange Table ID and import the transaction as normal.

2. Access the journal produced in 1) above in the GL Transaction Entry window (Transactions >> Financial >> General), and change the Exchange Table ID in the Exchange Rate Entry window invoked from the expansion button next to the Currency ID field, and post the journal.

3. Inactivate the original Exchange Table ID.
