Microsoft are posting the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Feature of the Day series on the Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP Blog.

The fifty sixth feature they’ve announced is Item Description from RMA.

In prior versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP, the SOP document that was generated from an RMA had an item description that was a concatenation of the return item, RMA number and RMA type. Most customers would have to edit each line. Now the item description will contain the actual returned item’s description. This will happen for any SOP Return document generated from RMAs. Also, a SOP invoice generated from RMA closing for any final charges will now use the invoice item’s description.

The fifty fifth feature they’ve announced is RMA and SOP Consolidation.

In Microsoft Dynamics GP, the creation of the cross ship order is per RMA line. If there are multiple lines on an RMA, each line generates a new SOP order.

Now with Dynamics GP 2013, you can optionally consolidate multiple cross shipped lines on an RMA onto a single SOP order document. As long as the SOP order is open, any additional lines cross shipped for that same RMA will be added to the same sales order.

The forty ninth feature they’ve announced is BAI Format Added To Electronic Reconcile.

The BAI file format, developed by the Bank Administration Institute (BAI), is a common format used to perform electronic cash management balance reporting.
