From time to time I want to disable some functionality in GP in order to make a demo more streamlined (e.g. disable Analytical Accounting) or to test some functionality without a specific product in the system.
For example, I was recently testing the Inventory Control module to find out how it handles changes in standard costs. I wanted to disable the Manufacturing module so I could get just the Inventory Control module functionality working in my system.
It’s easy to do. To temporarily disable a product, navigate to: Tools >> Customize >> Customization Status. This brings up the Customization Status screen.
Select the product you wish to disable, and click the Disable button. This will disable the associated functionality until you re-launch GP
If you want to disable the product for a longer period of use, check out KnowledgeBase article # 872087

Hi Steve
If you want to take this further, look at the Dictionary Control window in the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP.

The Dictionary Control window can remember when a dictionary's triggers are disabled even when the application is restarted. It can also disable alternate windows without having to adjust security settings. This is a great troubleshooting tool.
David.
David,
Thank you. That's a great idea. I didn't know that functionality existed in the Support Debugging Tool.
