Hands On With MDGP 2018 RTM New Features: DocAttach Available on More Windows

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 RTM has now been released and I have been taking a Hands On look at the installation and configuration of the new version.

I am now going to take a hands on look at the new and enhanced features introduced in Microsoft Dynamics GP.

• General Ledger Transaction Entry
• Receivables Transaction Entry
• Asset General Information
• Employee Entry
• I-9 Form (Payroll)
• Journal Entry Enquiry
• Payables Transaction Entry Zoom
• Receivables Transaction Entry Zoom
