Microsoft Dynamics GPMicrosoft 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.

When creating a new SmartList Favorite, the user has the option to select to whom the SmartList Favorite will be visible, including the following options: System, Company, User Class, and User ID.

I will be adding ePUB and MOBI formats to the existing eBook format which you will receive free of charge, should you request, after buying the PDF version. I hope to have them available very soon (I am working on the format at the moment and will add them as soon as they are complete).

MDGP 2015 R2 Feature of the Day: Automatically Deposit Cash Receipts

Microsoft Dynamics GPMicrosoft 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.

Company Setup - Options

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.

MDGP 2015 R2 Feature of the Day: Enable Email on All Sales Order Document Formats

Microsoft Dynamics GPMicrosoft 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 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.

Print Sales Documents

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.

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.

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 Launch Problem

Microsoft Dynamics GPDespite my assumptions about hotel Wi-Fi I have been able to download the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 installation media. However, I have encountered an issue when trying to launch the client following the install.

I wondered if someone else would be able to verify my findings?

I installed in on my laptop which already has the following installed;

  1. Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 SP3
  2. Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 SP2
  3. Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2
  4. Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015

GP Utilities appears to run OK, but when I try to launch the desktop client, it tells me I need to launch GP Utilities and ends up in a perpetual loop of me running GP Utilities then the desktop client and so on.

When I installed the software it did ask if I wanted to update the 2015 instance which I declined and installed a named instance of 2015 R2. I am wondering if this is because I have other versions of the client installed?
