I recently made a copy of my company within Business Central and in the new copied company ran into issues being able to email out. Within the SMTP Mail Setup window when I tried to Test Email Setup and received the following error message: The mail system returned the following error: "A call to MailKit.Net.Smtp.SmtpClient.Authenticate failed with this message: 5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at 5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentialsr20sm7383407qtt.6 - gsmtp".



Solution

While troubleshooting the issue I determined that I was able to successfully test in the main company but not the copied company. I removed the Password from the SMTP Mail Setup window within the copied company and re-entered it and was able to then test with success.

Let's walk through the process of updating a posted entries dimension where the user forgot to add the dimensions in this case. Same process would apply if you needed to change a posted dimension as well. Within the General Ledger Entries page, select the line for the entry that needs to be corrected, then click on Entry > Correct Dimensions.  Within the Draft Dimension Correction window go ahead and update the description if needed and mark Update Analyses Views if you're using those.  Next section Dimension Correction Changes go ahead and add the updates. In my case my entry is missing two dimensions so I'm going to add each of those in there. Since my dimensions were missing the Dimension Value Code field is blank,

I had a client ask me if the Aged Accounts Receivable report could be modified a bit since he was having to modify it manually and it was taking him around 6 minutes each time.

Next Steps Next step was for me to figure out if I was going to have a developer create a custom report or if I was brave enough to try something I've never done before. I went the brave route and started searching through Microsoft Docs for Rep
