Tools for Dynamics GP


There are a number of tools available from Microsoft to help troubleshoot and add functionality to Dynamics GP. In this section we will go over the following tools:

  • Professional Services Tools Library

  • Tools from Microsoft's Professional Services Team

  • Support Debugging Tool

Professional Services Tools Library

The Professional Services Tools Library (PSTL) is a suite of tools originally created by the Microsoft Dynamics GP support, development, and professional services teams to add functionality to Dynamics GP. For many years most of the tools in the PSTL were sold for anywhere from $750 to $1500 each and the entire suite cost $5,000. On March 26, 2012 Microsoft announced that the PSTL would be available to all customers using Dynamics GP 10.0 or later at no additional cost.

The PSTL can be installed during the Dynamics GP application installation or added as an additional component later. Dynamics GP partners can download the PSTL at the following URL: http://bit.ly/18qHTH3...
