Accelerate business performance with solution enhancements that connect personal productivity and business processes.

Features available in Dynamics GP 2010:

General Ledger

  • Exclude inactive accounts in Accounts lookup - You can now exclude all inactive account records from the Accounts lookup window.
  • Clear recurring batch amounts - You can now clear the distribution amounts for all transactions on recurring batches after you post a batch. You can navigate through the distribution lines and enter new amounts for each period.
  • Combine multiple General Ledger budgets into a single master budget - You can combine multiple General Ledger budgets into a single master budget, one budget at a time. The master budget can be completely new and have its own budget ID, or it can be one of the two original budgets. This feature is helpful when multiple departments in your organization create their own budgets, which must then be consolidated. The new Combine Budgets window simplifies this process.
  • Comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requirements - Microsoft Dynamics GP now includes features that meet compliance standards for IFRS. You can identify transactions for local GAAP, IFRS, or other accounting purposes, and you can define ledgers for each purpose. You can select one or more ledgers for financial reports and inquiries. Also, you can generate distributions automatically as part of the year-end closing or currency revaluation process.
  • Create budget transactions - You can now create a transaction solely against a budget. You can view a list of budget transactions, make adjustments, and then update the budget from the list.

Payables Management

  • Exclude inactive vendors in Vendors lookup - You can now exclude all inactive vendor records from the Vendors lookup window. You also can set a default view.
  • Exclude expired discounts from payments - You can select a Payables Management setup option to exclude expired discounts from payments when you select checks for a computer check run. If you exclude expired discounts and select a range for due date/discount date cutoffs, the discount date for vouchers is compared with the apply date entered in the Select Payables Checks window. If the apply date is after the discount date for a voucher, the voucher isn't included.
  • Select multiple ranges for payables check runs - To narrow the group of vendors and documents you want to pay, you can select multiple ranges in the Select Payables Checks window. You can select a separate range for vendor IDs, vendor names, class IDs, payment priorities, voucher numbers, document numbers, due date/discount date cutoffs, and document currency. In previous releases of Microsoft Dynamics GP, you could select only one range for vendors and one range for documents to narrow the group of vendors and vouchers to pay.
  • Vendor approval workflow added - You can submit vendors to a workflow approval process. The process allows multiple approvers, depending on user-defined rules, and allows users who aren't Microsoft Dynamics GP users to approve workflows. When a vendor is ready to be approved, approvers can be notified and the vendor can be approved, using Microsoft Outlook®, Microsoft Dynamics GP, or Microsoft Internet Explorer®.

Receivables Management

  • Enter negative cash receipts - You can enter a negative cash receipt for the purpose of decreasing a deposit. The negative amount flows through the system in the same way as a positive cash receipt, but is shown as a deposit with a negative amount.
  • Enter recurring cash receipts batches - If you receive the same or similar payment amounts from your customers, you can create a recurring batch for your cash receipts to speed data entry.
  • Exclude inactive customers in Customers lookup - You can now exclude all inactive customer records from the Customers and Prospects lookup window. You also can set a default view.

  • Calendar View - Integrated calendar feature lets you easily view timely information, including invoice and billing dates and other scheduled tasks. Improved To-Do List captures your most relevant dates and displays them in the Calendar View. Past due transactions are automatically flagged.

Are you looking for additional functionality in your Dynamics GP product?

The new licensing model for Dynamics GP is setup so that there is a user price for two different sets of functionality. There are also staple items such as Payroll & HR that can be added to either package. Depending on your individual setup this could mean an opportunity to switch over to the new licensing model and gain additional functionality for your system while paying less than you would if you chose to purchase all of the modules individually. If you are interested in gaining additional functionality through the new licensing model please give us a call for a FREE evaluation of your current system and a review of what you would gain in moving to the new licensing model.
