This post is part of the Hands On With Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R2 New Features series in which I am going hands on with the new features introduced in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 R2 (which was released on the 2^nd October). I reblogged the new features as Microsoft announced them along with some commentary of how I thought they would be received by both my clients and I. In this series, I will be hands on with them giving feedback of how well they work in reality.

The twenty-second new feature is Purchase Requisition Partial Purchase. You’ve always been able to increase the quatity to purchase, but you were not able to reduce the quantity. This new feature, allows a smaller quantity to purchase to be specified in order to partial purchase the requisition; the remaining quantity will be cancelled:

The flexibility this offers should be a good thing, but I have concerns around users being able to change the purchasing quantity here if an approval workflow is being used. That said, I already had these concerns about users being able to increase the quantity post approval.

The twenty-first new feature is Ship To Address Retained by Customer Combiner. This feature will retain the ship to address when customers are merged using the Customer Combiner tool:

I’ve tested this feature and compared it to the functionality in 2018 RTM, and I can’t tell the difference. The Ship To address of the destination customer, does not change in either version and the ship to address from both the source and destination customers are both available after the combine.

The twentieth new feature 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:

• Document Number
• Document Type
• Item Number
• Document Date
• Customer ID

This feature builds on the new sort options introduced to Payables and Receivables, by making the aame options available in the Sales Order Processing Item Inquiry window. This is a good addition as users are often asking the ability to sort by date; I hope to see it introduced in additional windows in future versions.
