The latest release of Microsoft Dynamics GP, Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2, arrived this month, and we’ve been looking at some of the new features that were delivered with it. In previous entries, we’ve looked at the following new features:
- All-in-one document viewer for purchasing
- Payables transaction approval workflow
- Employee self-service access to their W2
- Scriptable provisioning and management
- Analytical accounting transaction lists
- Self service user tasks and roles
- SmartList Designer SQL view
- SmartList Designer view workflow type
- Time management app
- Historical Received Not Invoiced report
Today we’re going to cover these new features:
- Enable email on all Purchase Order and Sales Order document formats
- Mask employee social security numbers on reports
- Debits displayed before credits
- Enabling Email on Purchase and Sales Order Document Formats
Previously, the Print Options for Purchase Orders only supported email for “Blank” document formats, but a new feature supports email for any document format for all Purchase Order documents. This feature is supported when printing from navigation lists, from the Transaction Entry window, and from the Print Purchasing Documents window. Similarly, you can also enable email on all Sales Order document formats from navigation lists, from the Transaction Entry window, and from the Print Sales Documents window.
Masking Employe Social Security Numbers on Reports
Another new feature provides an option for the payroll administrator to mask employee social security numbers on a predefined list of payroll reports. If the admin selects to apply the mask for a particular report, when the report is generated, the employee social security number field on the report will appear with a “XXX-XX-XXXX” mask.
Debits Displayed Before Credits
Fulfilling one of its top customer requests, Microsoft has moved the Debit column so that it displays before the Credit column 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 database tables and views on which the reports are based.
