Microsoft Dynamics SL 2018 CU 10
The new release of Dynamics SL 2018 is now available. CU 10 comes with just a few updates and bug fixes, which we have now seen as a pattern. With Dynamics SL being sunsetted, there has been less to add to the product. Our prediction is there won’t be many more updates to come for this product and we are starting to look at the end of an era. Nevertheless, here are some of the changes they announced.

Sunsetting Dynamics SL

Microsoft Dynamics SL 2018 CU9 Update
CU9 is now out for Dynamics SL 2018. Just like the past few cumulative updates, there isn’t much to go off of but there are a few bug fixes that they have noticed and picked up on. One update that caught our attention is the updates on importing AP and GL transacting. This will help use the approval process.
Another thing with this update is how they are approaching it in terms of the year-end updates that were released in December of 2022. CU9 includes last year’s year-end updates, so if you install CU9 you should be all set and not have to update that.

Discontinuation of Dynamics SL
For a while now we’ve been hearing about and discussing the lifeline of the Microsoft Dynamics SL. It is a legacy software that has been around for quite some time. And we all knew this day was coming, but on September 30, Microsoft announce the discontinuation of Microsoft Dynamics SL 2018 for new customers.
Choosing the right ERP: Getting started
When it comes to choosing software that is going to completely change the way you run your business, you have to know what your business needs. You also have to know the budget for changing to new software and decide whether you want something that can be accessed from the cloud, anywhere, or on a local server that connects to your computer. Just these few questions can make the process seem very daunting.
Dynamics SL 2018 CU8 is now available
Microsoft Dynamics SL CU8 is now out, so let’s go over what is new and what has changed!
- The DMGDataAccess Business Object now uses the Microsoft OLE DB driver for SQL Server Version 18 in the latest update. This means that Inventory Replenishment Create Transaction, Convert EDI Pos to Sales Orders, and Orders to Purchase will all now connect using the OLE DB driver.
- SL CU8 will be able to run on Windows 11, if you have questions on how this works, we can help break down the step by step process for the installation.
- The look and feel of journal entries have also changed with this update. The Journal Entry (01.010.00) screen has been updated to now have hidden labels. These labels generate list text for the cBatchHandling and creconstatus drop down controls. There are hidden labels for O and V options of the cbattype dropdown to make localization easier. See the picture above for the hidden label controls.
That wraps up our notes on what has changed in this new update. Be sure to contact us if you have any questions about CU8. You can reach us here: info@polaris-business.com.
