Hands On With MDGP 2018 RTM New Features: One Payment Per Vendor/Invoice Setting on Vendor Card

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.

The series index is for this new features series, can be found here.

The twenty-third new feature of the day is One Payment Per Vendor/Invoice Setting on Vendor Card.

To set the option on the vendor, open Vendor Maintenance window (Purchasing area page >> Cards >> Vendor Maintenance), select a vendor and click the Options button.
