Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests: Show the User ID in the Items SmartList

Wednesday 22nd Jan 2020Friday 27th Dec 2019 Ian Grieve2 minute read0 comment

This post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests series where I am going hands on with the top feature requests of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The seventh new feature from the top user requests, is the storage of the user ID who last modified an item record; this field has also been made available to SmartList:

Items SmartList object showing new User ID column

Being able to see the last user to amend an item is a good addition and it is nice to see it made available within SmartList.

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests: Inactive field added to Item SmartList

Tuesday 21st Jan 2020Tuesday 21st Jan 2020 Ian Grieve2 minute read0 comment

The sixth top requested enhancement is the availability of a column in the Items SmartList showing if an item is active or inactive:

I was a little surprised to see this announced as a feature as I had assume this field was already available, but it seems that when an Inactive flag was added in Dynamics GP 2013 RTM, that was as far as the change went. Extra visibility is always a good thing, so nice to see this added.

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests: Save setting for how to show new POs

Monday 20th Jan 2020Tuesday 21st Jan 2020 Ian Grieve4 minute read0 comment

The fifth new feature based on the top requested features, is a new setting to control whether the displaying of the PO is skipped when a purchase requisition is purchased. Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 RTM saw a new feature introduced whereby, when a PR was purchased, the purchase order transactions navigation list was automatically displayed. This turned out to be very disruptive for some clients due to the time it took to load the navigation list (especially when the Reporting Services Reports were deployed and the fact pane visible) that it was amended in Dynamics GP 2018 R2 to ask the user if they wanted to skip showing the navigation list.

The enhancement now is the addition of a drop down list in Purchase Order Setup (Purchasing » Setup » Purchase Order Processing) where the administrator can choose what happens:

The default option remains Show the message which is the 2018 R2 behaviour.

I like being able to set the option to not show the question let alone the navigation list. Most of the clients I work with always click the option to skip displaying the navigation list, so this option to allow them to set it to ,em>Don’t show the message and don’t open the new PO is going to be very welcome.

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests: Minimize transaction when Go To is selected for PO that exists

Friday 17th Jan 2020Friday 27th Dec 2019 Ian Grieve3 minute read0 comment

The fourth enhancement based on top requested features is the minimisation of the Payables Transaction Entry window when you choose Go To when you receive a warning that a PO exists for that vendor:

The purchasing transactions navigation list displays with the Payables Transaction Entry open with the transaction entered, but minimised so it can’t be seen. Once you’re done with the navigation list, you can restore the Payables Transaction Entry window to post or delete the transaction.

this is apparently one of the top requested features, but I don’t really see the point. A lot of the clients I work with have dual monitors so are more likely to want to move the window to a secondary monitor rather than have it minimised. Unfortunately, this new feature doesn’t have any options to control the behaviour so the transaction entry window is minimised if you opt to go to the navigation list.

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests: Exclude Inactive Items on Item Price List Report

The third enhancement based on the top feature requests is being able to specify if you want to exclude inactive items from the Item Price List report:

Inventory Item Report Options - Item price List

I’ve compared the window above to the one in Dynamics GP 2018 R2 and cannot see a difference, so either I am missing something or this “new” feature has been present for a while and just announced.

The second enhancement based on the top feature requests is the addition of date filters in the Item Stock Inquiry window to restrict the view; as is standard on enquiry windows click Redisplay to filter data based on the From and To dates:

Being able to filter the returned data by date will make it easier to review the stock movement by date.

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Workflow Enhancements: Vendor approval enhancements

Friday 10th Jan 2020Monday 20th Jan 2020 Ian Grieve3 minute read0 comment

This post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Workflow Enhancements series where I am going hands on with the workflow enhancements of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The seventh and final enhancement to workflow is that the vendor approval workflow has been amended so changes to the hold status or when a document is attached, the vendor needs to be resubmitted for approval. When the hold status is changed or a document attached, the user will get this message and need to resubmit the vendor:

There is no way for this message to be avoided by the user.

I can understand a change to the hold status needing to be approved, but I don’t really understand why attaching a document should require this, and I can see it causing some problems for clients. It would have been better for the document attachment needing to be approved, to be an option than always enforced.

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Workflow Enhancements: Change approver for active workflow tasks

Thursday 9th Jan 2020Friday 27th Dec 2019 Ian Grieve4 minute read0 comment

The sixth workflow enhancement to Microsoft Dynamics GP is the introduction of an Edit Workflow Approver window (Administration » Setup » Company » Workflow » Edit Workflow Approver), where the manager(s) of a workflow type (as well as the sa and DYNSA users) can modify the user to whom a specific task is assigned.

The example below shows a GL Batch being reassigned to a different user; the down chevron button can be used to add a comment for the reassigned which will show in the workflow history:

When you load the window, make your selections at the top, make sure you then hit the Redisplay button to see any tasks which can be reassigned. The default view is by the Workflow Manager which is set to the user logged into Windows.

This window is a very useful addition which has been requested by a number of clients previously. If a user is off unexpectedly, or leaves, then being able to easily amend the approver for pending tasks is something users expect to be able to do.

My only issue with the window is the Default user delegate and comments boxes don’t seem to work.
