Let's look at simple data repair techniques.
1. How to delete the user:
If user, shuts down computer, before signing off Great Plains - she/he will get the message that she/he is already signed. Then you need to delete the user from the activity table. Run the query below against DYNAMICS database - it will unlock the user:
delete ACTIVITY where USERID='MARIE'
2. How to unlock the batch:
From our experience - this is second FAQ we are hearing from Great Plains administrator. Run this script against company database to unlock hanging batch:
update SY00500 set BCHSTTUS=0 where BACHNUMB = 'BATCH0023'
Sometimes you also have to run this script against DYNAMICS database (if first script doesn't do the job)
delete SY00800 where BACHNUMB = 'BATCH0023'
