New Extender Features

Dynamics GP 10 Service Pack 4 is going to add some new features to Extender. The new feature list is available here. I have a love/hate relationship with Extender.

Love
  • It demos really well.
  • It's easy to get started
  • It's cheaper than customizing
  • It upgrades
Hate
  • Table structure makes it a pain to report off of
  • Data doesn't transfer well (for example, from Quote to Order to Invoice)
  • If you delete a window it deletes all of the data
  • It's easy to make a mess if you don't know what you are doing
