Save 87+ minutes a year when using Microsoft Dynamics GP!

In the image, I right mouse clicked on the blue toolbar, opening the Microsoft Dynamics GP Toolbar Customization Window. I then chose the Main toolbar, the SmartList control that I added and clicked on Modify Selection. From here I can change the icon to text, text and an icon or image, plus more.

Making GP changes like this can save you real time. If you open SmartList 10 times a day and this saves you a total of 20 seconds a day. That’s 5200 seconds a year or 87 minutes a year, I’m being generous saying it’ll save you 2 seconds every time you open SmartList.

Within each series, under Reports is an option for “Groups.” You can use this window to “group” together all the reports within this series that you want to print.

Keep in mind that you do not get the ability to change the option with this feature, so you must put in criteria that can remain static. For example, do not enter a date range of 01/01/11 – 01/31/11, instead use “Beginning Last Month” to “End of Last Month.”

Also keep in mind that you need to set the destination each option to the printer so they’ll print automatically rather than ask you each time.

Once you create a group for each series, you can use “Combine Groups” under Reports to combine the groups.

Dynamics GP Payables Management or Fancy Check Writing System?

Do not use Dynamics GP Payables Management for a fancy check writing system, use it for Managing Payables!

Enter invoices in every day, use the correct payment terms (making sure they are setup right) and then the system will help you:
  • Determine when to pay an invoice, so you keep the cash flow as long as possible
  • Pay Invoices on time, so your credit stays good
  • Allow you use the system to manage disputed invoices (by using the hold feature)
  • Look Good to your boss, because at month end your work will be all done!

In this video I will walk you through the scenario where receiving items (both with and without Lot Numbers) in Microsoft Dynamics GP can create an entry where the Lot Number is duplicated with a quantity of 1 with a Cost much higher than the remaining items.
