Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 has been released 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 twenty third Feature of the Day is Automatically Deposit Cash Receipts. This feature provides the option to have cash receipts directly update the checkbook balance without the need to manually post the cash receipt deposit in Bank Reconciliation.

This option was previously available in Analytical Accounting. In Microsoft Dynamic GP2015 R2, the option is made available in the core dictionary, expanding the option to companies not using Analytical Accounting.

To select the option, mark the “Automatically post cash receipt deposits” checkbox in the Company Setup Options window.

When this option is marked, cash receipts entered in Cash Receipt Entry, Receivables Transaction Entry, Sales Transaction Entry, and Invoice Entry will be deposited automatically in the checkbook, updating the checkbook balance.

I have a few clients who will benefit from this one, but I have one client especially in mind for it who has asked before about if this was possible.

The twenty second Feature of the Day is . A top suggestion on the MS Connect site, this feature moves the Debit column to display before the Credit column by default in account transaction reporting options in which the Credit column previously displayed before the Debit column.

This applies to SmartLists and Excel Reports, as well as the database tables and views on which the reports are based.

The twenty first Feature of the Day is Enable Email on All Sales Order Document Formats. The Print Options for Sales Orders currently only support email for ‘Blank’ document formats. This feature will support email for any document format for all Sales Order documents.

This feature is supported when printing from the Transaction Entry Window, Navigation Lists, and Print Sales Documents window.

While being able to all PO documents is a welcome feature, it is even more welcome on the Sales Order Processing side of things as I have a number of clients who need to produce a proforma invoice when the order is raised and this is typically done using one of the other document formats such as the Despatch Note Blank Form which can be emailed. It is going to be good to be able to configure the SOP Short Order Form as the proforma invoice and be able to use the despatch note for its intended purpose.

The twentieth Feature of the Day is Enable Email on All Purchase Order Document Formats. The Print Options for Purchase Orders currently only support email for ‘Blank’ document formats. This feature will support email for any document format for all Purchase Order documents.

This feature is supported when printing from the Transaction Entry Window, Navigation Lists, and Print Purchasing Documents window.

I like this addition as it has always seemed a very artificial restriction to only be able the blank paper format of the purchase order.

The nineteenth Feature of the Day is Mask Employee SSN on Reports. Feature will provide an option for a Payroll Administrator to mask the employee social security numbers on a predefined list of payroll reports. If the Payroll Administrator selects to apply the mask for a particular report, when generated, the employee social security number field on the report will appear with a XXX-XX-XXXX mask.

The eighteenth Feature of the Day is Time Management App — Switching Companies. Within the Time Management app a user can navigate through different companies they have access to within GP. Within the navigation bar, the user can see the companies they have access to. When the user selects a company the summary panel on the right is populated with the pay codes, balances and active pay periods of the company the user selected. This functionality allows the user to easily enter timecards within different companies they may have access to within Dynamics GP.

The seventeenth Feature of the Day is Time Management App Entering Time. Within the Time Management App for Microsoft Dynamics GP the user that is signed into the app will be able to enter time against paycodes for vacation and sick time and benefit time codes in HR depending on what module is setup for the Accrue Type. Within the summary panel the employee can see their available balance and active timecards they can enter time against. They can see saved and submitted timecards within the active pay periods and 2 months of historical timecards.

The fifteenth Feature of the Day is Historical Received Not Invoiced Report.

A new SQL Reporting Services Report based off the current Received Not Invoiced report but add new functionality by adding a cutoff date based on transaction date or GL Post Date to allow customers to use the report for Historical purposes. This report will allow users to see what was received into inventory but not invoiced yet as of a specific date.

These reports are becoming increasingly popular with clients as they look far better than the “very white” ones GP has traditionally shipped with. The only downside for someone who isn’t in the US is that they ship with a default language of en_US so all values come out as USD. I have some PowerShell scripts I have been working on to download, update the language and upload the reports from SQL Server Reporting Services. I need to revisit and see if I can knock them into shape to post online; I’m not experienced with PowerShell so it is taking me awhile. If someone wants to volunteer to help, I would appreciate it.
