Historical Excel Reporting for Dynamics GP. Users of Historical Excel Reporting…

I’m telling you, this tools is cheaper than building it yourself.

Why do we have to age Microsoft Dynamics GP Receivables?

I frequently get asked “Why is there a separate step to age Microsoft Dynamics GP Accounts Receivable?”

I frequently get asked "Why is there a separate step to age Microsoft Dynamics GP Accounts Receivable?" 

I frequently get asked “Why is there a separate step to age Microsoft Dynamics GP Accounts Receivable?”

Believe it or not, it’s actually a benefit to you.

I have a client who charges their customer a finance charge for all invoices 30 days or older; however experience tells them that many times they charge finance charges, only to receive the payment within a day or two causing them the extra work of writing off the finance charge.

We worked together and created a very smart plan. We change the aging periods from 1-30 to 1-45, then age and charge finance charges for invoices over 45 days old. We then change the aging period back to 1-30 and age again. This method, only ended up charging finance charges for invoices over 45 (even though their customer is expecting over 30)days old.

There are many reasons you may want or need control over aging, and with GP you have it!

Where’s the cash Account for this Microsoft Dynamics GP Cash Receipt?

Last week I was working at a client’s office helping entering receivables payments in Microsoft Dynamics GP. While entering I noticed that more often than not the cash account did not default. I realized that the customer card file had been set to pull the cash account from the customer instead of the checkbook.

I realized that the customer card file had been set to pull the cash account from the customer instead of the checkbook.
This is something I strongly advise against. If you use Bank Reconciliation to balance your checkbook, you could easily cause your balances to go out of balance if you do not pull the checkbook account from the checkbook ID rather than the customer ID.
In your Customer Maintenance Window, click on the Accounts button and at the top of the Customer Accounts Maintenance window you’ll see this option. (Note that you can look this up in mass using Smart List.)

ALWAYS USE THE GL ACCOUNTS FROM THEIR MASTER RECORDS TO HELP KEEP SUB-MODULES BALANCED TO THE GENERAL LEDGER!
