Tag: Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 will soon be released (due late May/early June and, as with previous releases, Microsoft have started a Feature of the Day series on the Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP Team blog. As I have done with the last three series, I’ll be reposting these blog posts here with a little commentary.

The eighth Feature of the Day is Purchasing All in One Document View — Options.

This is a newly designed window inside of Microsoft Dynamics GP to enable users to view related purchasing documents in the same window.

Accessible from the Vendor Maintenance window, many purchasing inquiry windows, Navigation lists and even the Home Page this window will save users time in searching for all relevant information for a purchasing document.

The Options button will allow users to select which columns they want to see in this window. For example, if customers do not use Purchase Orders, they can uncheck the box and the first column would be Receipts. By default the Credit Documents column does not display but with this column checked up to six columns of data can be shown.

The seventh Feature of the Day is Purchasing All in One Document View — Filter.

This is a newly designed window inside of Microsoft Dynamics GP to enable users to view related purchasing documents in the same window.

Accessible from the Vendor Maintenance window, many purchasing inquiry windows, Navigation lists and even the Home Page this window will save users time in searching for all relevant information for a purchasing document.

The Filter icon allows users to select open and/or historical or saved vs. posted documents in the Purchasing All in One Document View window. The options are specific to each column and saved per user allowing users to customize what they want to see. Specific searches are also enabled in the filter window to narrow down the search results. The clear filter icon with the red x will clear all filters and reset to the defaults.

This window looks like it could be a good addition as I often end up talking clients through finding all of the transactions relating to a purchase order.

The sixth Feature of the Day is Purchasing All in One Document View – Checkbox.

This is a newly designed window inside Microsoft Dynamics GP that enable users to view related purchasing documents in the same window.

Accessible from the Vendor Maintenance window, many purchasing inquiry windows, Navigation lists and even the Home Page this window will save users time in searching for all relevant information for a purchasing document.

By selecting the checkbox for one document the window redisplays all columns with only the related documents.

For example, select a purchase order and then only the receipts, invoices, payments and returns related to that PO are displayed.

The most recent documents will default into the window and to see the next set of five transactions the navigation buttons under each column can be used.

The second Feature of the Day is Employee Self Service — W2.

This was one of the top suggestions for employee self-service functionality. The new feature allows employees to view and print their own W2.

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 will soon be released (due late May/early June and, as with previous releases, Microsoft have started a Feature of the Day series on the Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP Team blog. As I have done with the last three series, I’ll be reposting these blog pists here with a little commentary.

The first Feature of the Day is Payables Transaction Workflow. Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 saw the introduction of a new Dynamics Workflow module which replaced the old SharePoint one. This module was further extedned in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 and is seeing further improvements in GP 2015 R2.

On the Microsoft Connect website, one of the most requested additions to Workflow was a new Approval Workflow type for Payables Transactions. Well, we asked… and Microsoft delivered.

The Payables Transaction Approval workflow type allows each individual transaction to be submitted for approval (Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 allowed for batches of transactions to be submitted for approval; a workflow type which remains).

I am really pleased to see this Approval type introduced as we have a number of clients who, when shown the Payables Batch Approval workflow, immediately asked if they could submit individual transactions for approval instead of the entire batch.

This Feature of the Day also proves what I have been telling clients for a while; Microsoft do listen to requests for new features, so if there is something you really want, submit it to MS Connect and let me know so I can both vote for it and also publicise it on this site (while writing this I realised how long ago it is since I publicised something).

I’ll have some news on the Workflow front in the near future so keep checking back (I should have more to tell you within a couple of weeks or so).

This post is the series index which you can use for quick access to any of the other posts. I am a fair few posts behind Microsoft so the posts may come thick and fast until I catch up.
