Topic: ‘Dynamics GP’

Inventory Balance (General Ledger) and Inventory Value (Purchases Receipts Report printed for all items, for all sites, and for all quantity types) is there a difference? Well, digging into this subject recently and finding some great information on the Microsoft Dynamics site I thought it important enough to pass along.  Especially, since some are you are or will be in the process soon of inventory counts.  So let’s take a look at Dynamics GP structure.  First you have the Inventory sub-module where when transactions are posted creates the Debit and Credit journal entries that flow to the General Ledger.  In a perfect world those transactions should be coorelative, Right?  However, you may at some point have an episode where the two don’t tie.  Here are some general reasons why the two may not tie:

Okay, get ready because there is a lot of good information here. 

Requisition software ReQlogic does a beautiful job of seamlessly integrating its online requisition, timesheet, and expense functionality with Microsoft Dynamics GP.  More specifically, I will highlight here the multi-currency capabilities of expenses in ReQlogic and the results of this function in Microsoft Dynamics GP.

For organizations operating in multiple currencies, setup in ReQlogic is fairly simple.  And whenever part of the setup requires ReQlogic Utilities, I always run the application as Administrator.  Otherwise, some setup may not complete properly, and I have had this happen to me too many times not to share that with you guys.

One of the Cool new features of Dynamics GP 2010 is the seamless integration between Concur Travel & and Expense and Dynamics GP 2010.

Dynamics GP 2010 “DIY” Fixed Assets Excel Report…

Around my casa I like to think of myself as a regular “DIY” (Do It Yourself) type person.  A little duct tape, krazy glue and some power tools will get a girl a long way in fixing things.  Don’t laugh, Yes, I really do fix things with krazy glue.

So I thought how about let’s use some of that DIY engineering to get an excel report for Fixed Assets.  So I came up with a “DIY” solution.  Don’t worry this solution does not require any duct tape, krazy glue or power tools.  You’ll only need Dynamics GP Excel Report Builder and Microsoft Office Excel 2007 or 2010 to create a real time Fixed Assets report.  The content is a bit long for a blog post so you can down load the step by step instructions by clicking the following LINK TO EXCEL REPORT BUILDER – FIXED ASSETS.

In the end you will have a report that looks similar to the following…
