Tag: Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release

This post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release series where I am going hands on with the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP. As mentioned in the last post, the client installation these days includes the server installation. With one client now installed, the next step is to deploy the system database.

This post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release series where I am going hands on with the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP. In a previous post, i downloaded the media so the next action is to install the client.

Back in the old days of Microsoft Dynamics GP 9, I would have installed the server components first, but since Dynamics GP 10, the client includes the media. When you launch the Setup Utility from the installation media on a machine for the first time, the Microsoft Dynamics GP Bootstrapper Setup will run.

Click Install to install the listed components:

This post is part of the series where I am going hands on with the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP.

With the release of Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 release, you can download the software in one of two flavours:

• Full Download
• Service Pack

The full release is for doing fresh installs or upgrading from versions of Dynamics GP prior to 2018; if you are on 2018 you can download and use the service pack release.

The new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP is the Microsoft Dynamics GP “October 2019” Release on the Modern Lifecycle and was released for download on the 7^th October 2019.

In this series of posts, I’ll be going hands on with this new release and installing and configuring the majority of the components; some of them, such as Analysis Cubes for Excel, which are little used, I won’t be covering.

The series index will, if you’re heading this on azurecurve|Ramblings of a Dynamics GP Consultant, automatically update as posts go-live:

The Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP blog has started a series Feature of the Day posts for Microsoft Dynamics GP “October 2019” Release on which I am following and adding commentary. The index for this series of posts is here.

Unlike in other years, the Feature of the Day series has not covered all of the new features; I’ll be doing a Hands On series for the installation next, after which I will do a Hands On series with the new features where I’ll cover more of the new functionality. I’ll try to cover everything except the Human Resource & Payroll modules which are not used in the UK.

The eleventh Feature of the Day is Reprint Pay Statements. Another Payroll feature has been added, whereby you can reprint an entire group of pay statements as duplicates. This is added to the Payroll Reprint Journals report options.

Select Reprint Payroll posting journals –> Reprint Pay Statements. You select an audit trail code on the report option and the duplicate pay statements will print for all the payments made in that check run.

The tenth Feature of the Day is Payroll Option to exclude Additional Withholding Amount. With this change, when you build the check file, you have the option to include or exclude the additional withholding for Federal, State and Local tax amounts.

By default, any existing build check default ID will have these settings automatically marked. However, you can unmark the settings and save them with the build check default ID and they will be remembered in the future when you select that default ID.

Now, you can do special check runs without having to manually update employees who have setup additional withholding amounts.

• The year drop down list will now display in reverse order with the most recent year displayed first. This change has also been included in the following windows:
  • Net Change Inquiry
  • Detail Inquiry
  • Summary Inquiry
  • GL Trial Balance Report options
• The User who Posted field has been added to the window; this field will display for both open and historical journal entries.
