With the release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R2, it is time to get hands on again. Whenever a new version comes out, I step through installing all (or the majority) or the products available.
Over the coming days, I’ll be performing all of the installations and posting step-by-step guides to them. The series index, below, will automatically populate* as each of the posts goes live.

The Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog has started a series Feature of the Day posts for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R2 on which I am following and adding commentary. The series index for this series of posts is here.
The twenty-sixth Feature of the Day is Email POP PO Other Form.
In the Purchase Order Entry window the Email button now has both the Blank Paper and Other Form so you can choose between them when sending the purchase order to the vendor.
I like this feature of the day. I have a number of clients who want to be able to toggle bewteen two different PO formats for the same creditor; this feature will give them the ability to do so once they have a suitabler Word template created.

The twenty-fifth Feature of the Day is Purchase Requisition Partial Purchase.
When creating a purchase order from a purchase requisition you now have the option to change the quantity on the PO. For example, if the purchase requisition has a quantity of 100, when the PO is created you can change that quantity to a lower quantity, such as 90. The remaining quantity is then canceled on the purchase order.
I’m somewhat split on whether I think this is a good addition. If you want fewer items then the purchase requisition should be raised for the smaller quantity; on the other hand, being able to purchase fewer when creating rthe purchase order, gives more flexibility.

The twenty-fourth Feature of the Day is Ship To address retained by Customer Combiner.
When using the Customer Combiner tool to combine two customer records the ship to address will now be retained:
While Customer Combiner isn’t generally used that much (at least by my clients), keeping the ship to address could potentially be very useful.

The twenty-third Feature of the Day is new sort options in Sales Order Processing Item Inquiry window.
The Sales Order Processing Item Inquiry window has a new Sort By option available; this lets users quickly find the information they are looking for because now they can sort, either ascending or descending, by the following fields:
This is a good addition as being able to sort by Document Date is a very common request.
