Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 was released in the beginning of June. Set to target small to mid-sized businesses, the release brought in new functionality that was unavailable in previous releases. Here are some notable features that the release offers:
1. Ability to Display Debits Before Credits
Under the account transaction reporting options, the debit column is now displayed before the credit column by default. This new feature applies to SmartLists, Excel reports, database tables and views where the reports are based on.
2. Email Capability on All Sales Order Document Formats
For any document format, users now have the email option for all Sales Order documents when printing from the Transaction Entry Window, Print Sales Documents window, and Navigation Lists.
3. Self Service User Tasks
The Self Service user type gives limited access to the system for users who want a more cost effective way to perform tasks such as entering project time and expenses, creating a requisition or entering payroll time. Task and role assignment can now be more efficient as this feature includes Employee Self Service Security Roles that allows the user to filter security tasks for each user type.
4. All in One Document View
Users can now save time searching for information from a purchasing document. The feature allows users to view relating purchasing documents in a single window that can be accessed from the Vendor Maintenance window, Navigation lists and the Home Page. By default, the user’s most recent documents will appear on the window and navigation buttons provide the ability to see the next set of five transactions.
5. Combine General Ledger Inquiry
Inquiry windows have been consolidated in GP 2015 R2’s General Ledger. This feature allows users to view open and historical information within the same window as the Summary Inquiry, Detail Inquiry and Account Summary. Drill-backs and Go-To’s are now displayed in a single window, enabling the user to easily view data instead of having to choose one window over the other.
