The twenty second Feature of the Day is Payment Terms – Discount Date Calculation. With the changes for the transaction due date, we’ve extended the options for the discount date also in Microsoft Dynamics GP2015.

Now you have the same calculation options for discount date that you do for transaction due date. You choose among calculation options like annual, next month or month/date and being able to add days, months, or years to the calculation gives you greater flexibility when setting up your payment terms:

The twentieth Feature of the Day is Create Refreshable Excel Reports in SmartList Designer. This feature will enable users to create refreshable Excel reports using SmartList Designer. Reports created from SQL views may be published to the Excel report library.   

By publishing a refreshable report, the user can open the report in Excel and the data will always be up to date:

I like the look of this feature. The out-of-the-box Excel Reports are of somewhat limited utility as they return all data for the report which means that for a transaction SmartList there can be vast sums of data returned. But with these SmartList Designers you should be able to define a filter in the report so it only includes, for example, the current or previous months transactions.

The roles targeted by this feature are:

• All
