Microsoft Dynamics GP Fall 2020 Release New Features: Mask SSN on Human Resource Reports

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Microsoft Dynamics GP Fall 2020 Release New Features series where I am going to echo the posts from the Dynamics GP Support and Services Blog, while adding some commentary, on the new features introduced in the Microsoft Dynamics GP Fall 2020 Release which is now available.

This post is on the Mask SSN on Human Resource Reports Human Resource & Payroll enhancement.

A few versions back, Microsoft added the Social Security Number (SSN) mask for payroll; this original change has prompted a request for this new functionality.

In the Human Resources Preferences window (Microsoft Dynamics GP menu » Tools » Setup » System » Human Resources Preferences), towards the bottom of the window a new SSN Mask button has been added.

Human Resources Preferences and Report Masking

By default on the install, everything will be marked as masked, so if you would like to see the SSN on the report you will need to unmark it from this window.

If you open the Report Masking window and no reports are listed, this script from Microsoft can be run to populate the default information. The selected reports can be amended through the window.
