Hands On With MDGP 2018 RTM New Features: Sorting

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. Rather than do this as a continuation of the Hands On series I wrote in December, as originally intended, I am going to split it out into a separate hands On With the features post. The series index is for this new features series, can be found here.

The twelfth feature of the day is Sorting. Five windows inquiry windows have had the ability to change the sort order added:

• Payables Transaction Inquiry – Vendor
• Payables Transaction Inquiry – Document
• Receivables Transaction Inquiry – Customer
• Receivables Transaction Inquiry – Document
• Select Bank Transactions

Across the years I have been asked numerous times by clients if it was possible to reorder the inquiry windows into date order, but this was never possible. Until Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 that is.

This feature of the day has seen five of the inquiry windows updated to have sort options available. For Payables Transaction Inquiry – Vendor this means you can change the sort order from Document Number to one of the following:

• Type
• Original Amount
• Unapplied AMount
• Document Date

The other windows have similar sorting options. We have already started rolling out Dynamics GP 2018 to clients and have had a few positive comments about this feature.
