It’s now the season Midwesterners in the United States eagerly await – summer is here!

Similar to past years, the Q2/Q3 issue of GPUG® Magazine focuses on shortcuts to

save you time in processes. I make my home in Minnesota, and that can bring long

winters and a lot of time indoors. Since not many people want to go out in the cold,

working inside isn’t that bad. However during the summer season, I look for every shortcut I

can find in order to relish my time outdoors doing the things I love. (Those who know me are

aware that I live for pontoon time.)

I don’t think I’m the only one that feels this way, as having more time to do the things that

fill us up is a very welcome thing indeed. This issue’s articles and Tips & Tricks might just

help get you out of the office on time (or early) to enjoy family and friends, a favorite pastime,

a new hobby, etc. We also profile fellow Members so that you can better understand who

makes up the GPUG family. We love showcasing these talented Members!

GPUG Summit is a great place to connect with Members, and we’re busy planning this

year’s event, which will take place October 13-16 in Reno, Nevada. It’s a destination not only

for learning and networking, but also for sightseeing to witness the beauty Reno and Lake

Tahoe offer.

We hope you join us at Summit; it will be the largest gathering of Members yet, with around

1,100 people expected. Similar to past years, around 70 percent of those are fellow Users of

Microsoft Dynamics GP. We’ll have more sessions than in the past (anticipating more than

200), so you’ll go crazy (in a good way) with learning and networking!

Our conference is one-of-a-kind because all sessions are presented by volunteers. These

are fellow Members who want to help their peers use Microsoft Dynamics GP to its fullest

potential. We encourage you to take action because all roles are key to the success and overall

experience of the event. To learn more, visit www.gpugsummit.com, and then get in touch

with me at [email protected].

Enjoy this issue (maybe outdoors somewhere), and take three nuggets, ideas, tips, etc.

from it and put them into action. After all, that’s what GPUG is all about: Helping you grow

personally and professionally.

Take care, and see you in October!

Sincerely,

Kim Peterson

Chapter » 30 attendees tuned their Microsoft Dynamics GP engines at the Q2 meeting.

» This Indy group will be off to the races again for its Q3 meeting, which will be

held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.HIGHLIGHTS

Denise Brown, assistant controller for Hoosier Energy, is helping

the Indiana (Indianapolis) chapter bloom with Microsoft Dynamics

GP User activity.

“We’re looking to focus on Management Reporter at our

next meeting, and then we will focus on workflows in Microsoft

Dynamics GP 2015 in our final meeting of the year,” says Denise.

The most popular meeting to date brought the group to the

Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

“We were there during a practice day and had a suite on Legends

Row,” says Denise. “That meeting’s presentation on security and audit

features within Microsoft Dynamics GP was delivered by Liz Piteo from

FastPath. After

the meeting,

e v e r y b o d y

received free

admittance to the

track to watch

practice for the

Indianapolis 500.”

New York (Rochester) chapter leaderaccounting manager for [email protected]

» Their first meeting was such a success that Jacob had to look into alternate

sites for future meetings as the chapter ran out of room in the originally

intended location!

» The chapter’s next meeting is October 28.

LeadershipHIGHLIGHTS

“The ability to network with

Users in our area that have

expertise in the product has

proven to be invaluable and

has helped us solve some

of our issues.”

Jacob Kirby, accounting manager for ConServe, has been leading

the New York (Rochester) GPUG® chapter for nine months. The

group is off to a great start with 26 active attendees, and Jacob has

his sights set on continuing to provide value to his Members.

“Being a new chapter leader has been a great experience, and

I have learned a ton since we started,” says Jacob. “I really enjoy

meeting other Microsoft Dynamics GP Users and learning how

they use the product. It is also nice to hear other Members’

experiences with Microsoft Dynamics GP and help find solutions

to their problems.”

The group’s July meeting featured presentations on integration

products for Microsoft Dynamics GP, with a Partner Member

presenting SmartConnect and Integration Manager, and the October

meeting will focus on a GPUG Summit experience recap, as well as a

potential Partner Member presentation on business intelligence.

“I look forward to seeing how our chapter evolves over the

coming year,” says Jacob. “The ability to network with Users in our

area that have expertise in the product has proven to be invaluable

and has helped us solve some of our issues.” GPUG

What has it meant to you personally?I cannot say enough about all the positive

influences that have come my way as a

result of participating in this annual event

and with GPUG itself. Sure, promoting the

software you work with and appreciate has

ancillary career benefits, but the friendships

and networking opportunities I’ve made

since the inaugural GPUG Summit was held

in 2007 have been invaluable. I always knew

GPUG Summit would be successful, but to

see it grow as it has since then is truly awe-

inspiring. Fun has been re-defined for me.

Why do you volunteer to help design GPUG Summit? I have participated as an exhibitor/sponsor

for a number of years, and I have seen

Summit grow into a premier event. I wanted

to be a part of it. I also felt that as an ISV, I

may bring a different perspective and ideas

to the planning of the conference.

What has it meant to you personally?I am able to give back some of my time to

an event that I believe to be the best annual

opportunity to work with Customers and

Partners to educate them on the benefits of

Microsoft Dynamics and the tools available

to make an organization successful.

How has this helped you professionally?GPUG has given me an alternative support option

for the Tribridge Customer base.  The ability to

direct Customers to their peers in similar industries

has been invaluable to Tribridge and invaluable to

our Customer base. Outside of typical Microsoft

Dynamics GP issues, we have been able to direct

Customers to someone experiencing similar

issues related to ACA, FDA, GPOs, etc.

What has it meant to you personally?I have been working with Microsoft

Dynamics GP for more than 14 years, and

this has been the first time that I have had

a chance to give back to the Microsoft

Dynamics community outside of “work.”

Why do you volunteer to help design GPUG Summit? I enjoy being able to help drive the content available

to attendees. Although I have been using Microsoft

Dynamics GP for almost 14 years, I still have so

much to learn. By getting involved with the planning

committee, I’m able to ensure content that is relevant

to Users like me.

How has this helped you professionally?My involvement with GPUG has allowed me to connect

with the people and products to make Microsoft

Dynamics GP work for my company. This allows me to

contribute to Donor Network of Arizona’s mission to save

and improve lives through organ and tissue donation.

design side let me learn more about what

goes into the planning and scheduling of an

event.

How has this helped you professionally?I have been attending GPUG Summit for the past

six years, and the first couple of years I would

show up for sessions, learn about Microsoft

Dynamics GP, and go about my normal

business. Now that I volunteer, I really feel like an

active participant at Summit. I am so much more

comfortable speaking in public, meeting new

people, and networking. Plus, I still get to learn

new things about Microsoft Dynamics GP and

business from some really smart people! All of

these things have enabled me to be better at my

job and helped me to advance to the next level.

Why do you volunteer to help design GPUG Summit? To do my part in making it a one-stop shop

when it comes to learning, training, and

networking around Microsoft Dynamics GP.

What has it meant to you personally? It is a great feeling to know there is a place

I can go get the Microsoft Dynamics GP

answers I need to do my job better, and even

more than that is the fact that I can help

others solve their problems, too.

How has this helped you professionally?

Working with GPUG Summit gives me an

insight into all of the intricate details that are

involved in organizing this event and helps all

of us at my company plan for how we will be

staffing the event. There are so many events

and venues such as roundtables, huddles,

sessions, classes, Expo, and socials in which

to play a part. It really takes involvement

in the planning process for GPUG Summit

in order to better prepare ourselves for our

part in the mix.

Why do you volunteer to help design GPUG Summit? Volunteering – whether it is with GPUG or

any other area where you may volunteer – is

a great way to both learn about something

and meet other people who are passionate

about something. I like to be part of planning

for GPUG because I can ensure that even

the smallest of GPUG Member concerns are

going to be heard.

What has it meant to you personally?As a consultant, I always get excited when I

think of other people using something I have

built. I think most of us get into consulting at

least partly because we can impact peoples’

daily lives (hopefully in a good way), even

if they don’t realize it.  When it comes to

Summit, I am stoked about the track that

I helped build.  It’s pretty cool to think that

I could have selected a session that will

resolve exactly the issue that a User came to

the conference to resolve!

Why do you volunteer to help design GPUG Summit?After years of involvement in the planning committee, I would feel guilty just showing up! I continue to volunteer because of the

process improvement cycle that we are all dedicated to.  We plan, execute, judge our performance, solicit feedback, and then re-

engage in the next year to try to apply those learnings to help evolve the conference into something bigger and better each year.

What has it meant to you personally?GPUG to me is about fun, friendships, inspiration, and mentors, and yes, that’s all from a bunch of technical bean counters...late

nights, working hard, playing hard, and learning who you can call when you can’t find an answer.

In 1994, Blue Rhino launched America’s

first branded propane tank exchange

service. Today, Blue Rhino, a division of

Ferrellgas, L.P. and based in Winston-

Salem, NC, is still America’s propane

exchange leader, but also more than

propane with products that create special

moments in backyards, patios, and homes

including grills, barbecue accessories,

patio heaters, firepits, and more.

Blue Rhino recently upgraded to

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 and attended

Convergence 2015 in Atlanta, GA.

“At Convergence we spoke with many

Microsoft Dynamics GP Users about

the need to keep our Users up to date on

Microsoft Dynamics GP best practices.

Most Users had the same response: Join

GPUG,” says Tamria Zertuche, director

of IT – applications for Blue Rhino. “After

reviewing the non-Member version of

GPUG, it was clear that this tool would

provide access to information and

resources to keep our Users efficient and

productive. The weekly emails, webinar

invites, and other notifications sent out

via GPUG provide us with a framework

to keep our Users informed. GPUG has

been a great addition to our Microsoft

Dynamics GP toolbox.” GPUG

Mr. Beer® is the world’s largest

supplier of do-it-yourself (DIY)

homebrewing kits. In 2012,

the company was purchased

by Coopers Brewery, which is

the largest independent brewery in Australia and the

worldwide leader in supplying the malt that Mr. Beer

uses in its homebrewing kits. Coopers recognized

the significant growth opportunity that existed in

the United States with homebrewing and Mr. Beer.

Having a real brewery behind its products is what

makes Mr. Beer unique and provides an advantage in

being able to offer a continuous stream of innovative,

high quality, and easy-to-use products. Rick Zich,

president of Coopers, says, “Brewing is a very fun

hobby, but it does take time, so we want to make

sure that the homebrewer can rely on consistent

and fast results with Mr. Beer products.”

Back in July of 2012, Rick and his IT colleague

took on the task of implementing their own

Microsoft Dynamics GP solution at Mr. Beer.

“I had experience in business system setup and

worked alongside a great IT expert, so we took it

upon ourselves to put everything together,” Rick

recalls. Since then, Rick has moved up in position

from controller to president at Mr. Beer and along

the way has shared his expertise with the GPUG®

community by presenting sessions at Summit and

serving on the GPUG Advisory Board. He’s also

set the stage for synergy with his own team and

Microsoft Dynamics GP.

The Power of Cross-

Training

With a small set of six Users at Mr. Beer, Rick has

specific processes for each person on his team. And

each person knows everyone else’s processes as well.

Rick shares, “My Users are well-trained in the entire

scope of Microsoft Dynamics GP. Everyone knows

how to do everyone’s job. My accounting manager

knows all the functions, and the same goes for my

IT specialist. Cross-training has worked well for us

because what one User does affects other Users in

our company, as it should.” Knowing the solution

inside and out helps the team stay productive and

creates more accurate data.

Rick places a strong effort on consistently

training his employees. “As president, it’s my

job to make sure people are updating their skills

and that they have access to the right training

opportunities.” Rick continues, “If you’re not

constantly training your employees, you’re wasting

that valuable resource.” In addition to taking

advantage of GPUG resources online, Rick also

conducts regular trainings for his employees, such

as how to leverage refreshable Microsoft Excel

reports so that his non-Users can view valuable

Microsoft Dynamics GP sales data.

Getting Behind the Data

“I think starting in a different role has really

helped me understand the importance of data and

getting behind our system as well as our Users,”

Rick says. “If you don’t have data at your fingertips,

you are going to lose. So every day I make an effort

to embrace that data, learn how to use it, and teach

my employees how to leverage it.”

Embrace that data, he does: From specialized

dashboards to SmartLists, Rick actively checks

reminders, tasks, and the progress of his team

first thing each day. “Microsoft Dynamics GP

helps me access the information I need to lead in a

productive way,” he shares.

In addition to using the business intelligence

(BI) generated by Microsoft Dynamics GP daily,

Mr. Beer has automated business processes with a

few key integrations in the mix:

» Electronic Data Interchange (EDI): Having EDI integrated

with Microsoft Dynamics GP saves Mr. Beer from inputting

thousands of invoices each day, and the information is more

accurate with automatic price checks.

» Order Processes: With SmartConnect and Magento, Mr. Beer

automated the order import and export to and from Microsoft

Dynamics GP. “We weren’t too keen on manually inputting

100,000 orders each year,” Rick says.

» Payment Processing: Magento automates this process at Mr.

Beer by exporting the information to a secure file server and

then posts it within Microsoft Dynamics GP.

» BI Reports: Through the use of refreshable Excel reports, direct

SSRS reporting, and Management Reporter, Mr. Beer sends

reports out to the Australian owners so they can see daily sales

and turnover stats.

User-Generated Gold

Even with his years of experience, his active involvement in GPUG,

and his climb up the company ladder, Rick is modest: “If I’ve thought of

it, someone else has thought of it before,” he shares in reference to his

thoughts on GPUG. “GPUG has become such an important resource we

can count on, and it is User-generated, which is even better.” GPUG

I want to bring forth an issue in the Sales Transaction Entry window

related to the cool ribbons introduced in Microsoft Dynamics GP

2013 R2, and now a standard part of the application navigation. By

now you are probably getting used to the absolutely gorgeous User

interface that features Microsoft Office-style ribbons on every

window. Furthermore, you probably already know that the use of

such ribbons is actually customizable and in many ways optional

– albeit being the default configuration – as described by  fellow

Microsoft Dynamics GP MVP Leslie Vail  in her article  GP 2013

R2 Ribbons (http://dynamicsconfessions.blogspot.com/2014/06/

gp-2013-r2-ribbons.html). As it turns out, there’s a Dex.ini

switch, EnableWCRibbons=FALSE, that controls whether ribbons

are enabled within Microsoft Dynamics GP or not. When ribbons

are enabled, Users can further customize the appearance of the

action pane or return to the traditional menu bar for each window.

Yesteryear (2009), I wrote an article titled “The Wonders of

CTRL+Q: Saving and Printing SOP Documents in One Step” 

(www.dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2009/05/wonders-of-

ctrlq-saving-and-printing.html) and how the Quick Print feature

made life easier for the poor souls out there who needed a quick

shortcut to printing SOP documents from the Sales Transaction

Entry window. In that article, I detailed the mechanics behind

the feature, written by my good friend  David Musgrave (www.

winthropdc.wordpress.com). 

As fortune would have it, when ribbons are enabled and you are

either using the Action Pane or the Action Pane Strip layouts, the

Quick Print feature does not work. However, if the User Preference

is returned to Menu Bar (you will need to exit Microsoft Dynamics

GP and re-launch for the changes to take effect), the Quick Print

option (and CTRL+Q keyboard combination) works just fine. 

While clearly an inconvenience, this can hardly be labeled a

bug since the feature is still present within the application when

the Window Command Display setting is set to Menu Bar as part

of the User preferences. It would be nice, however,  to have this

fixed for Microsoft Dynamics GP in desktop client mode. I can

see how this may or may not work under web client mode as the

browser keyboard shortcut combinations take precedence over

the application’s shortcuts. GPUG

Q2/Q3 2015 | 23

Jared Hall joined Microsoft nine years ago,

working in Microsoft Dynamics GP technical

support where he learned everything about

the product. After four years, he applied

for a program management position and

moved over to the R&D team to work primarily on

financials and be part of the workflow redesign in

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2. GPUG® sat down

with Jared to talk about his work and the reward

that comes from making Users’ work lives better.

GPUG: Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 was

recently released. What are some of the features

that Users will be excited about?

Jared Hall (JH): There are a lot of little things that

people get excited about.

GPUG: Like being able to select a printer?

JH: Exactly! We spent a year and a half building

a workflow system, and people are more excited

about selecting a printer!

Microsoft Dynamics GP is solid as a financial

system, and since the “big stuff” is already there,

the last couple of releases have been more about

taking the feedback we receive and working on

incorporating as many of those ideas as we can.

GPUG: Which parts of the release did you work

on?

JH: I worked on the tweaks to financial reporting,

one of which improves the SmartLists and how

the information is displayed so it’s easier to see,

understand, and build Excel dashboards. It was a

fun feature to work on.

Typically, program managers do the research

and design of features. We go out, have discussions

with Users and Partners, research IRS regulations,

and then write up the requirements so the

developers working on the code know what the

feature needs to do.

By the time a release comes out, a lot of the

program management work for that release has

been done for quite a while. Our focus then shifts

to having meetings three times a week to make

sure any blocking issues are taken care of. I’ve

also started working on feature work for the next

release.

GPUG: You mentioned a review of IRS

regulations. How do you keep on top of that?

JH: Most regulations don’t change that much, and

oftentimes Users will give us a heads up when

something is going to impact them.

The biggest area I have to worry about is

fixed assets, as I need to make sure I’m up on

changes happening with that as the IRS makes

changes to depreciation elements. In turn,

Microsoft Dynamics GP needs to put limits on

depreciations.

Those changes – and a general check for system

compliance – are added to the code each year.

GPUG: You’re working on a quicker release

cadence now. How has that been going?

JH: So far we’ve been able to hold to that. We

were worried at first that Partners wouldn’t

want the faster release cycles based on the

need to upgrade their Users more often, but the

updates are no longer huge events, and people

are enjoying them.

GPUG: We’re fortunate to have you quite

involved with GPUG. Thank you for that!

JH: We have a good relationship, through lots of

GPUG Summit presentations and regional chapter

meetings.

Using the presentations to share new features

and get feedback from Users, both about the

feature and what they’d like to see in future

releases, has been valuable. We get the group

together in discussion mode, talking about tips

and tricks and hearing their top concerns so we

can make changes.

It’s nice to be able to not only help out GPUG

through the sessions, but also get feedback through

those discussions.

GPUG: Which of your sessions gets the most

positive reaction from Users?

JH: The most popular sessions are building

financial dashboards in Excel. A lot of

people look at it as a spreadsheet program,

but when you do a session showing the

breadth and depth about what they can

do – pulling in data from Microsoft

Dynamics GP and making colorful charts

and graphs – people get excited.

Users also seem to enjoy sessions about

new features and functionality that will

be available in upcoming releases of

Microsoft Dynamics GP.

GPUG: Outside of events, what else

would you recommend for Users looking

for information from your team?

JH: The Microsoft Dynamics GP

marketing team posts blogs about new

features in the days leading up to a

release. Another good forum is the MVP

community, as many of the MVPs active

in GPUG have their own blogs and stay

close to what’s going on, not just what’s

coming out but how to use existing

functionality. I’m continually impressed

with the type of information that is

moving around the community.

GPUG: What’s the most rewarding

aspect of your role?

JH: The moments when I have the most

satisfaction are when I go to a conference

and stand on stage to present a new

feature and see the excitement that comes

from that information.

That selecting a printer feature we were

talking about got HUGE applause. It’s

fun to be on stage and hear that type of

reaction.

When you present to accountants and

see what will make their lives easier – after

you’ve spent six months to a year going

Those diligent developers in fabulous Fargo, North Dakota continue to crank out new and

improved code for Microsoft Dynamics GP, which is always good news. It is hard to keep

up with at times, but keep up with it we will! While new features are always being made

available, much of the standard navigation within my favorite ERP application remains

wonderfully consistent. That having been said, here are some quick navigation tips I use

in my day-to-day duties at Dynamic Communities. Whether you’re current with Microsoft Dynamics

GP 2015 or on a not-so-current version, this baker’s dozen list is for you. Go!

» In the “User Preferences” window, maintain the default Entry Key = Tab setting. Remember, left

hand on “Tab,” right hand on mouse, and you’ll always be good to go. Tabbing out of a field tells

Microsoft Dynamics GP you’re finished entering data there. Once you’re comfortable with this, your

speed will increase – I promise.

» On the keyboard, use <Ctrl>+L as a substitute for a mouse-click on a looking glass when your cursor

is in a master record field, such as Customer ID. The latter gets the job done, but your fingers are

already on the keyboard most likely, so the former is pretty efficient.

» When looking up a master record, a “Lookup Window” appears, which has a default sort order by the

ID you’re searching. Click on another header in that window, and the sort order as well as “Find by” at

the top of the window change accordingly. Microsoft Dynamics GP caters to your needs in short order!

» Forget the drop-down menus on the toolbar up top already and start navigating Microsoft Dynamics

GP with the large tiles in the bottom-left corner of the application. On each area page, the palettes

stay put (unless you rearrange them), and you can get around the system very easily and arrange your

palettes the way YOU want them (if using Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 or later versions). Start today.

» Navigate your account balance data by using the “Account Rollup Inquiry” window. This has to be

THE most overlooked window in the system, yet it does so much! It’s an inquiry item on the financial

area page, remembers the inquiries you build, doesn’t require consecutive accounts, and saves you

time since running a financial statement to get rolled-up values isn’t always efficient. It’s easy to figure

out and even supports calculations. It’s a winner, trust me.

» Help. It exists in every single window. Locate the blue “?” icon or simply press the “F1” key in any

Microsoft Dynamics GP window, and detailed help is instantly available. Be it a general overview,

information on fields, buttons, or whatever, Microsoft Dynamics GP comes fully loaded with

comprehensive help so you can swim on your own more often.

» Dates in Microsoft Dynamics GP are easy – use the calendar icon or simply type your date in the old-

fashioned way. Type in the day value, and watch current month/year populate automatically for you.

» Browse buttons are frequently found in the bottom-left corner of many Microsoft Dynamics GP

windows, and you can browse master or transactional data very easily. The adjacent drop-down gives

you browsing options to pick from, so don’t forget about that while you’re scrolling through records.

» Those little blue arrows you see in lots of Microsoft Dynamics GP windows are referred to as

“Expansion Buttons”, and they open ancillary windows related to the field they’re adjacent to.

It saves on window real estate, yes, but some of the fields stored in these extra windows can be very

helpful if utilized properly.

» Underlined field labels equal drill-down capability, so if you find an underlined field name, be it

required or not, drill-back capabilities (provided you have adequate security privileges) are available

to you. This is great for adding customers, vendors, payment terms, etc., on the fly.

» Notes – There are two kinds to know about: Window notes and field notes. Little note icons adjacent

to fields are for those fields only, and you’ll find a lot of them in Microsoft Dynamics GP, too. Window

notes are near the bottom of a Microsoft Dynamics GP window and not near any particular field; they’re

great for listing window-based procedures. Avoid getting these note types confused, if at all possible.

» Help>About Microsoft Dynamics GP gives you your version information. Find this menu item

when choosing the round blue Help icon in the upper-right corner of the home page.

» And, for those who are already enjoying Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015+ code, the “User Preferences”

window has a Windows Command Display drop-down that allows you to adjust the size of the

window ribbons (if you choose) introduced this year with the traditional client. I blogged about this

setting already in BloGPipes: www.gpug.com/blogs/bob-mcadam/2015/01/25/bobs-blogpipes-ribbons.

I hope these are helpful to any/all of our GPUG® Members, whether you’re new to Microsoft Dynamics GP or

a savvy veteran. I look forward to seeing you in Reno this October for the ninth annual GPUG Summit! GPUG

Software Podcast (www.enterpriesoftwarepodcast.com). He’s been “logged in” to Microsoft Dynamics GP as

either a Partner or Customer since 1998. He is on the GPUG Summit Planning Committee and is a regular

you always running specific reports each time you prepare to run

payroll? Are you opening a SmartList the same way just to export it

to Excel? (Okay, macros will work, but if you do this, look into Excel

Refreshable Reports or SSRS Reporting instead.)

Macros do NOT need to be used for things you ALWAYS do, but

sometimes that’s the best place to start. Once you get this down, start

applying macros to things you do often.

Let’s use the Select Payables Check Window as our example.

Let’s do this!

So, hypothetically, we come into the Select Payables Checks

window, and we make some changes: We change the toggle on

Take Non-Qualifying Discounts and then we uncheck the Returns

and Credit Memos boxes under the Automatically Apply Existing

Unapplied option:

What is a Macro?

First, it’s important to understand what a macro is: I could copy

and paste the definition but instead, let me say this: Macros are an

important, yet often overlooked, solution to replicating repetitive

tasks that ANYONE can create and use to make their processes

quicker and easier.

Why don’t folks use macros more

often?

Since macros can be tricky to get to work properly, they are often

ruled out as a good tool to use in organizations, so let’s not over-

complicate it. For example, they must be run from the same starting

point each time they are run. Let’s simplify it if we can: Maybe it’s

best to run from our home screen each time and record the clicks

that get us to the right windows instead of starting the recording on

that window. Sometimes that isn’t possible because the macro needs

to be run from a master card in Microsoft Dynamics (Customer

Card, Employee Card, Batch Window, etc.). Nonetheless, don’t be

intimidated. An investment now will pay off in the long run!

Why Should I use macros?

I have heard accounts of folks successfully using macros instead of

customizations and saving HOURS of processing time each month.

Not to mention, I personally have used macros to enforce reminders,

assist Users through their normal functions with less keystrokes,

AND help increase accuracy. So, it’s not a matter of why should

you…but more, why are you not?

Interested? GREAT! Let’s walk through a few things to hopefully

help you on your way to saving the world.

Find the purpose!

With all the cool things that macros can replicate for you, it’s

important to get the concept down and apply it to a repetitive task

that makes sense. A good starting point is to think of anything

you do the same, each time. Are you frequently (or even always)

changing settings when you open your select check window? Are

Macros Are for Everyone (I Promise!)by Shawn Dorward

And we do this a lot (or maybe even every time!). Maybe not

EVERYONE who runs checks does this, and that’s okay (that’s

probably why it isn’t a default setting), but I do…so that means I can

make a macro and save some time!

So here’s what I want to do; I want to create a macro that:

» I can run anywhere in Microsoft Dynamics GP

» Will open the Select Payables Checks window

» Will uncheck the Credits and Returns boxes

» Will check the Take Non-Qualifying Discounts box

» Will open the Batch Lookup Window

Since I want to run this macro before the batch ID is selected, I will

start recording from my home screen. This will allow the macro to be

run from anywhere in Microsoft Dynamics GP.

While on the home screen, I will go to Microsoft Dynamics GP/

Tools/Macro/Record (note from the image below that I can also use

Alt+F8 to prompt the recording option as well.

Next you will see a Name the Macro window pop up. This is where you

will save the macro file. Each macro has a file that controls what it does;

the file has the steps that will be performed when we run the macro.

Give the macro file a meaningful name. We will call this one Select

Check Settings and choose save. KEY: Once we hit save, the macro

is now recording.

The VERY next thing you do is begin following the steps you take

to complete the task:

» Click on the Purchasing Module

» Click on Select Checks link

» Uncheck Credit Memos/Returns

» Check Take Non-Qualifying Discounts

» Hit the magnifying lookup to select batch

Now the Payables Batch IDs window is open, and it’s time to stop

recording. Remember, we are picking the batch manually AFTER the

macro has run so do not record that part (this allows us the diversity

with the macro).

To stop the macro from recording, hit Alt+F8 or go to Tools/

Macro/Stop Record from the lookup menu.

Put it to work!

Now that the macro is recorded, we should test and see how it

works. If it doesn’t work like we expected, delete the file and try again.

If it works as expected, GREAT! Let’s create a shortcut so we can

access it quickly and easily.

Go to the home screen and right-click on the navigation pane and

choose Add > Add Macro.

Next you will get an Add Macro Shortcut window:

Give the macro a meaningful name, and then select browse to find

the macro file you saved earlier. Tip: Match the Shortcut name to the

file name for easy troubleshooting.

Select the macro file. You can also give this macro a keyboard shortcut!

(If set, the macro will run when the keyboard shortcut is used.)

Once you have set up the shortcut window, choose add, and this

shortcut will now be added to your home screen navigation pane.

TIP: Make a folder on your home screen navigation pane for all your

macros – this will help you find them quickly. Also, naming macros

with prefixes might help organize them in conjunction with the steps

involved with routine processes (1 – XXXX, 2 – XXXX, etc.).

Now find the macro on your shortcuts, and click it to watch your

work happen like magic!

Advanced food for thought!

Once you master recording and playing macros, try researching

tips on how you can modify the macro file (or use copy/paste) to

make even cooler macros!

Wrap it up!

This feature is included with Microsoft Dynamics GP, and every

User has it. If you don’t see the options, check with your administrator

for security access.

Want to take it a step further? There are products out there that work

WITH macros and do even fancier things such as automatically run a

macro when you open a certain window or perform a specific task.

Now, that may not sound like much, but

imagine keying in a payables transaction,

and after you enter the purchase

amount, the distribution window opens

automatically! (That’s pretty cool!) You

can do that and SO MUCH MORE!

This was a very simple example, and

hopefully it got your gears turning. What

ideas do you have to help automate some

processes in your organization? I’d love

Congratulations to our Q1 2015 contest

winner, Curt Bluhm from ADO Products,

LLC! Curt found the logo on page 17 of the

Q1 2015 issue of GPUG® Magazine. Let’s

play again. Hidden somewhere between the

covers of this magazine is our GPUG logo.

Can you find it?

While our logo shows up throughout the

magazine in conventional spots, it’s hidden

in only one place.

When you’ve found it, send an email to [email protected] with an

explanation of where and on what page it’s

at. We’ll choose a winner at random and

will highlight him/her in the next issue of the magazine.

CA: Yes, there’s a diff erence from upgrading version to version versus making huge leaps. Th e more up-to-

date you are, the easier it is.

BA: Not only do Users need to stay current on Microsoft Dynamics GP, but they also need to stay current

on Offi ce as well. Th e easiest and most cost-eff ective way to do that is Offi ce 365.

GPUG: Given this, who should be fi rst in line for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015?

CP: If Users aren’t already on Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2, they should implement Microsoft

Dynamics GP 2015. Workfl ow also previously scared people off because of the diff erent SharePoint

requirements, but that is now native in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015. So people who want more

Workfl ow functionality, but don’t want to invest in ISV solutions, can achieve this pretty quickly right

out of the box.

CA: Business Portal and SharePoint are not fun at all to implement outside of Microsoft Dynamics GP. It’s

certainly a lot better to have it all in-house instead of going out to SharePoint.

BA: Yes, it really depends on how old of a version you’re running. Anyone who hasn’t already implemented

ISVs like KwikTag or ReQlogic can benefi t from 2015 because of the new document management and

accounts payables batch approvals.

GPUG: What should Users know in terms of cost and licensing for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015?

CP: If they’re still on 2010 and going to go to 2015, then there’s a licensing transition from Module Based

Licensing or Business Ready Licensing to a Perpetual Licensing Model. With Perpetual Licensing, Users

get unlimited Management Reporter (MR) viewer licenses, which makes it easy and cost-eff ective to get

fi nancial data out to the entire organization. Th ey also get unlimited Users on Microsoft Forecaster and

unlimited employees if they already own Payroll. Th ese little cost-savings nuggets can add up to a lot of

benefi t for Microsoft Dynamics GP Users.

BA: Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 also has a $60 per User read-only option, and that’s a huge savings and

benefi t to Users.

GPUG: You’ve touched on a few features and benefi ts, but what’s your #1 favorite new feature in

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 and why?

CA: Th ere’s a whole lot more HR functionality that’s now part of the package deal in Microsoft Dynamics

GP 2015. As far as time savings, I think that’s a huge win all-around.

BA: My favorite so far is the Business Analyzer (BA) app now available on iPad that allows Users to see Excel

and Management Reporter reports or statements via the app instead of in a PDF view. I show Customers

this, and their jaws drop. Th ey immediately say, “I want this.”

We didn’t have a chapter, so I talked to Whitney and got approval from

my company to head one up. I hadn’t attended a meeting before, but

the idea of having a community to get help and find “fix-its” that save

me time and my company money was huge. We now have 41 Members

and consistently have 12 people per meeting.

I’m a User. I see the financial side of things, and I’m not technical.

There are a lot of people that are more technical and see the SQL side

and know how Microsoft Dynamics GP is installed. These two types of

people can mesh. We have a good mix of Users and technical people,

which helps in getting answers from each side.

1. Grow our chapter a little bit. We have a good core group, but we

haven’t seen new Members for a while. Our VP of membership is

working on reaching out and getting more people to attend.

2. Get more information and feedback from Members via a survey.

Attend as many webinars as you can. They’re free to Members, and I

try to get to as many as I can. Even if you get one tip out of a webinar,

that one tip can save you lots of time.

Leading the chapter is fun. We’re the first people to know about new

things coming in GPUG. There was a training day for chapter leaders

at last year’s GPUG Summit, and I was able to brainstorm with other

chapter leaders, gaining insight into what other groups do and seeing

the issues they have.

I also really like using the open forum on Collaborate to see other

people’s questions and get answers to my own.

I’m also enjoying the “Dig in the Sandbox Tool”. Definitely check that

out to see the differences between the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015

and your current version.

Q2/Q3 2015 | 33

Page 34: 2015 Q2/Q3 - GPUG Magazine

k-eCommerce got its start by enhancing

the buying experience for its online retail

clients. The company specifically worked

to streamline efficiency for those clients

by integrating its eCommerce platform

with enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.

In 2005, k-eCommerce brought its solution to the

cloud and opened its own data center where it now

hosts websites as well, handling IT and web support,

providing web design, and offering custom web

development.

GPUG®: Tell us a little bit about k-eCommerce

and what you offer Microsoft Dynamics GP

Users.

Giuseppe Ianni (GI): We focus on streamlining

maintenance and integration for Microsoft

Dynamics Users who manage websites and web

stores. Our first integration as a company was with

Microsoft Dynamics GP in 2004, and we’ve been

committed to this community ever since. Through

k-eCommerce, we offer Microsoft Dynamics GP

Users one single point of truth to manage their

web stores and utilize Microsoft Dynamics GP on

the back end. This allows Customers to simplify

the maintenance and communications between

their web interface and ERP, which then allows for

real-time information between the web store and

Microsoft Dynamics GP.

GPUG: Why is a single point of truth so

important for retailers using Microsoft

Dynamics GP?

GI: If their website and ERP aren’t integrated, they

struggle to keep pricing up to date on their website

and can’t see an accurate view of inventory, which

messes up orders and promises items to their

customers that they can’t fulfill.

They also really struggle with how payments

are handled and can’t adhere to PCI laws or keep

sales tax low and accurate. All these issues lead to

higher costs in the picking, packing, and shipping

departments, so they inevitability lose money and

control. It’s almost a domino effect against your

profitability, all of which could be solved with

integration between Microsoft Dynamics GP and

the web store.

GPUG: We’re covering business process

automation in this issue. Can you describe how

k-eCommerce helps automate critical business

processes?

GI: The major way we help automate business

processes is by creating a business intelligence

(BI) directional flow of data between Microsoft

Dynamics GP and our client’s web store to ensure

that inventory, availability, and customer data is

all available from their website without having to

maintain a second database.

Our solution also ensures that all customer

orders are synced back with Microsoft Dynamics

GP. This connection lowers operational costs and

streamlines back office operations. Our clients can

focus on growing instead of dealing with manual

processes.

k-eCommerce allows clients to not only

manage their corporate website with our code and

structure, but also to manage their web store if

that’s a separate site. It’s a full content management

system that greatly improves their business

processes because there’s only one application to

manage their corporate website and web store. You

can make design changes once, and it shows across both applications,

helping clients maintain a consistent online presence without making

the time-consuming updates that impact their ability to scale.

GPUG: What type of businesses benefit most from the

k-eCommerce solution?

GI: Industry stats show that B2B distribution companies will account

for $1.1 trillion in the eCommerce market as of 2020. As such, the bulk

of companies looking for eCommerce are distribution companies.

They are focused on selling business to business (B2B), and today,

only 25 percent of those B2B businesses actually sell online. It’s

amazing to think we’re only seeing a quarter of companies selling

online, but those that do are very successful.

Distributors and manufacturers are the businesses that really

need websites and that are changing their strategy to make online

selling a priority. If you look at eCommerce right now, B2B websites

are outdated and more focused on order entry. They now need B2B

portals that are the same as retail portals, offering up self-service

options, chat functions, availability, pictures, and data sheets.

Consumers are demanding more from their online buying experience

because that’s what they get when they shop online.

GPUG: What do Microsoft Dynamics GP Users like most about

k-eCommerce and your solution?

GI: The fact that it integrates with Microsoft Dynamics GP to

streamline their website maintenance is a major benefit that our

clients rave about. They don’t have to manage two databases. They

don’t have to enter price updates into two systems. All of that saves

them a ton of time and sanity. They also appreciate that it’s an out-

of-the-box package, yet customizable to their needs. They know we

keep future upgrades in mind, and they don’t have to build something

from scratch.

We also just released responsive web design to coincide with

Google’s latest hammer on businesses in regards to search engine

results, so when clients sign up with us, they get integration between

their web store and Microsoft Dynamics GP as well as a responsive

website design. This allows for simplified maintenance of their web

store from a coding standpoint to ensure compatibility across any

web-enabled device, whether it be desktop, tablet, or mobile phone.

GPUG: Why is a responsive web design so important? Are Users

catching on to the importance?

GI: Responsive website design is a best practice required from Google

to rank well. If your website isn’t responsive, Google will no longer

index it well, and your search engine ranking on mobile devices will

go down. It’s really no longer a nice to have, it’s a requirement. We

have businesses calling us just for this functionality.

Forrester recently released a report that shows that 75 percent of

businesses are implementing or laying out a mobile strategy because it’s

the future in where transactions are going. That same report showed that

39 percent of mobile users research companies from a mobile phone,

and if it’s not an attractive layout, they’re going to move on. They’ll see it

as a disjointed experience, and it turns them off from buying or working

with that company from the start. Businesses now know and recognize

this truth, so yes, they’re definitely catching on to the importance.

GPUG: You’ve been very active in the UG community. What’s

your favorite part?

GI: I love hearing from Users to see what they’re struggling with and

educating them on what’s happening in the eCommerce industry.

Most aren’t aware of what’s going on or don’t have the bandwidth

to keep up with Google’s latest updates. I enjoy being the expert

they can turn to. It feels good to educate people and help them stay

proactive and ahead of the trend. GPUG

“Since we’re one of the first k-eCommerce customers, we have experienced each

version of the eCommerce platform, and we couldn’t be happier with the way it has

evolved and stayed on top of industry trends. Our business has been able to grow

steadily using this scalable platform without ever outgrowing it or missing out on any

of the key elements that consumers expect and demand of an eCommerce site.”

– Claude Corriveau, IT director at Novexco/BuroPLUS

Since I’ve learned Microsoft Dynamics GP by the seat of my pants

and with the help of a lot of people from the Forum, webinars, books,

phone calls, correspondence, and at GPUG Summit, my “shortcuts”

tend to be created like Johnny Cash’s Cadillac: “One Piece at a Time”!

One that I cobbled together recently uses Victoria Yudin’s “SQL

view with security and SmartList details in GP” as the data source for

a refreshable Excel pivot table. The pivot table allows me to:

1.  Find a particular resource in the list of all of the Microsoft

Dynamics GP Resource Descriptions and who can use it.

2. Find out what Tasks and Roles contain that resource.

3. Slice and dice the security information in convenient ways.

For example, we can now give our auditors a report showing the

functions in Microsoft Dynamics GP assigned to each person on our

accounting staff so that they can be assured that proper accounting

controls are in place. GPUG

The transaction detail report allows staff to start from the chart of

accounts and then select their cost center so they can drill down to

the individual transactions to see what was charged to their accounts.

These screenshots show how to set up the transaction detail report

in Management Reporter.

This report is deployed to a Microsoft SharePoint 2010 site so staff can

easily access the information, but it also works in the Viewer. When you

open the report, it displays the revenue and expense accounts.  The staff

can then click on the reporting tree and pick their cost center where they

can drill down to the line item details for each account. Staff can download

the transactions to Microsoft Excel if they need to analyze the data.

We chose to deploy this report in a SharePoint library to have one

place for reports that staff could easily access.

[email protected]

DORA DENGChildren’s Miracle Network Hospitals

senior staff accountant

[email protected]

Why did you decide to

enroll in the PCAP/PCAR

programs?

What did you enjoy

most about this learning

experience?

How has what you’ve

learned helped you in your

career?

What do you value most

about professional

development?

What types of learning

opportunities do you

recommend to fellow

Microsoft Dynamics GP

Users?

My organization encourages personal

development. Microsoft Dynamics GP is an

amazing software with many complex abilities,

in which my knowledge was limited. My goal by

enrolling in the PCAR program was to learn how

to use Microsoft Dynamics GP and increase my

efficiency in accounts receivables.

I enjoyed the interactive environment that

allowed us to ask questions during the

lessons. I also enjoyed learning about reporting

in Microsoft Dynamics GP, as I use this function

regularly. The time I save by understanding

SmartLists and reports is priceless.

I better understand the month-end process and

can produce quicker, more timely reports to

various departments.

I want to be an asset to my company. Professional

development provides me with special skills

and knowledge that help me perform at higher

levels and makes me more valuable to my team.

I definitely recommend trying at least one

course through GPUG Academy. Microsoft

Dynamics GP is a very complex program that

can do amazing things when Users understand

its potential. GPUG Academy offers excellent

training and support for every User, and

increasing knowledge is a worthy investment in

the long run.

Microsoft Dynamics GP was adopted in our company

a few years ago, but upon review, it became clear that

we weren’t leveraging the full potential of the software.

I decided to attend the course to better understand the

numerous functions available to us that can assist in

our accounting procedures while also developing my

skills and increasing my proficiency.

I’ve definitely enjoyed the ability to immediately

apply what I learn in the classroom to the projects

I’m working on in my company. I’m also very happy

to share my newly earned knowledge with my

coworkers so that they, too, can get better at the jobs

they do.

Taking this class has made me the subject matter

expert in the company, which means that any time

my coworkers have issues or a new problem to

solve, they come to me for help. In addition, a lot

of the goals that our accounting department has

set for the year revolve around Microsoft Dynamics

GP projects. Developing a greater understanding of

Microsoft Dynamics GP has helped my team and me

find the best way to attain those goals using the full

functionality of Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Continually improving, learning, and growing are

what is most important to me. Getting better means

being more effective at my job, which ultimately

means better results in less time.

I’d definitely recommend PCAR or PCAP. The level of

depth that these classes went into isn’t an experience

easily gained elsewhere. Going in-depth is crucial to

developing a solid foundation of understanding while

also providing space to grow complexity in functions

and programs.

FOCUS ON EDUCATIONGPUG® reached out to two

Members who are taking

advantage of the learning

benefits that come from GPUG

membership, specifically the

professional certificate in

accounts payable (PCAP) and

accounts receivable (PCAR)

programs.

GPUG® is fortunate to work with Partner organizations that bring strong product expertise to our

User Members. The following Partners have given back to our chapters through sponsorship,

and as a thank you for that commitment, we are highlighting

them here. You’ll read about three Users who have achieved business

success through a combined use of Microsoft Dynamics GP and the

Partners’ respective solutions.

MetaViewer

With more than 125 full-service, on-site pharmacies in 31

states, Genoa Healthcare is the largest behavioral health pharmacy

provider in the country. Genoa merged with QoL Meds – a

pharmacy chain that also provides services for behavioral health

– on July 15, 2014 and finished integrating the two organizations

this year.

Before automating its AP processes with MetaViewer, Genoa

had a one-person AP staff who utilized a very manual and

undocumented AP process. “We knew that with the impending

merger, carrying on with a manual process would become difficult

for us to manage,” Deanna Brossard says.

Prior to choosing the MetaViewer solution, Genoa had a

myriad of manual processes committed to memory that it used

in its AP department. For example, invoices for more than $500

were emailed to be approved by store managers. In addition,

printing, scanning, emailing, and filing invoices decreased the

AP department’s efficiency and made it difficult to keep track of

where invoices were in the approval process. 

Since Genoa has implemented the MetaViewer system,

solidifying AP procedures and processes into one system has been

crucial to the training process, especially during the merger. “Since

we’ve implemented, it has been so much easier to train people,”

Deanna says. “We were able to automate a very manual process

and now have greater visibility of the process from start to finish.”

Rather than trying to remember all of the invoice procedures,

all AP employees can now be trained on one fluid system that

streamlines the process. MetaViewer has also allowed Genoa

to double in size but keep the same number of AP employees.

Because the MetaViewer solution has taken on much of the

workload, it has prevented the newly-merged company from

having to increase its AP staff.

“We wanted the ability to grow and work smarter rather than

continue to add personnel in order to maintain an outdated

practice,” Deanna concludes. The solution has also helped

Genoa exceed its goal of automating 50 percent of its invoices.

Genoa has been 100 percent automated, and the QoL addition

also became fully automated after the company databases were

merged. MetaViewer has helped Genoa increase efficiency, cut

back on filing, and has made the merger smoother and more fluid

with a consistent and effective training process.

Crescent Crown Distributing is the 10th largest beer distributor

in the United States, distributing top brands from more than 100

suppliers. Crescent Crown uses Microsoft Dynamics GP for its

financial management. Up until 2014, the company was bogged

down with manual entry of its invoices and payments. With seven

locations across two different states, it was very challenging to

manually track down invoices, and Crescent Crown also lacked a

good record of incoming invoices. Late fees resulted from limited

vision into invoice due dates.

Before Crescent Crown implemented docSTAR eclipse Smart AP Automation, everything was processed manually. The

company scanned and entered tens of thousands of invoices and

checks into Microsoft Dynamics GP per year. By fully integrating

docSTAR eclipse within Microsoft Dynamics GP, Crescent Crown

now has insight into every invoice and check in the system.

“There are hundreds of miles between our facilities, and we

require a VP at each location to approve the invoices. Now that

it’s all electronic, we’ve streamlined our approval process and

reduced errors, documents are no longer misplaced, and our

late fees have gone down to almost zero,” Neil Baier says. “We

save at least a few thousand dollars each year just by paying our

invoices on time.” Combining intelligent data capture with the

powerful workflow engine in eclipse, Crescent Crown imports

and automatically routes invoices so each VP has immediate

access to unpaid invoices that require his/her approval. “We’re

simply much more proactive in paying our invoices on time, and

we can be because of the great reporting and insight docSTAR

eclipse provides,” Neil shares.

Eliminating late fees was just the beginning of cost savings for

Crescent Crown. The company has also increased productivity,

saving at least four to five hours per week of work that included

manual entry of invoices. “That’s about 250 hours of labor a year

we can use on something more productive,” Neil explains.

With a quick return on its investment of under a year, Crescent

Crown is impressed with how easy the AP solution is and how

responsive the docSTAR team has been. “docSTAR delivers

exactly what they promise and unfortunately, that’s not always

the case with other software vendors,” Neil concludes. “docSTAR

eclipse has worked the way it should from the very beginning, and

to this day, there hasn’t been a problem docSTAR couldn’t solve.”

User Since: 2005

Oscar W. Larson Co. (Larson Co.) builds and services gas

stations in the tri-state area of Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana,

managing everything from underground fueling tanks to pouring

concrete to setting up convenience stores.

Larson Co. has been using Microsoft Dynamics GP for 13 years

and were feeling the pains of manual document management

10 years ago from lost documents and dealing with a very slow

invoicing process. Pete Wayne shares, “We needed a document

management solution that not only integrated with Microsoft

Dynamics GP, but also went beyond the basic document

management functionality.”

Larson Co. came across doc-link provided by Altec and has

seen tremendous growth over the past decade. “We have had a

great increase in volume over the past few years, and we simply

couldn’t manage it all without doc-link. It would be brutal and

take a lot more staff in our back office.” Pete continues, “Our

back office personnel is scaled back because of doc-link, and

we can hire more service employees to meet our customer

demand.”

Setting the stage for growth is just one of the benefits Larson

Co. is realizing from doc-link. Being able to retrieve and access

files electronically is a huge win and a quick ROI, but it was the

business process analysis that forced Larson Co. to streamline

operations. “I look at doc-link as an operations tool that helps

us keep 10 core workflows, making our processes as efficient

as possible. It forces us to go through each department to keep

things streamlined,” Pete shares.

Pete has recognized another major benefit in the accounts

receivables and payables departments. “Companies don’t realize

what you miss out on in terms of vendor discounts until you gain

the type of insight that doc-link provides. It also speeds up the

collections process tremendously so we have more cash flow to

work with.” 

Larson Co. is seeing an incredible increase in productivity as

a result of doc-link. “We cut so many hours out of our processes.

We approached it as another way to refine our business processes,”

Pete concludes, “and we built that around our document

management system. Now the possibilities are endless in terms

of our growth.”

Who hasn’t had to take two spreadsheets and compare them to each

other trying to find the proverbial needle in the haystack, aka the

reason they differ by a $1? If there are a lot of lines, differing by $1 or

$1,000,000 will make you equally crazy. As a Partner, I found myself

recently having to do it yet again for the millionth time in 24 years. I

was just about to scream when I thought, “What new Power BI tools in

Microsoft Excel could make this easier?!” The clouds suddenly parted,

and shining right next to the sun was Microsoft Power Query! Okay,

it wasn’t that dramatic, but it did become a challenge to me, and you

know I love a good challenge. Could I use Power Query to make this

easier and repeatable? It turns out the answer is: “Yes, I can!”

I’ll spare you the details on why I ended up needing to compare the

spreadsheets I had and where/how they were created; that would take

an entire book. But I can share with you the same process by walking

you through building a Multi-Company Payables Management

Balance Due. As you perform these steps, think about how you can

use this same methodology to help you with problems! Let’s begin.

What we’ll build: Multi-Company Payables Management Balance

Due in Excel

How we’ll get the data: We are going to build this using Microsoft

Dynamics GP SmartList to export the data into Excel. Keep in mind

that it is possible and more practical to build a refreshable report

accessing the data directly, but I want to show you how to use a feature

of Microsoft Power Query.

You’ll need to download Microsoft Power Query first; find it at

http://bit.ly/PQdownload.

Building a Multi-Company AP Balance Report (aka Using Microsoft Excel to Compare Files)by Belinda Allen, Smith & Allen Consulting, Inc.

t t&TIPS & TRICKS

» Let’s just use the default SmartList object for Purchasing | Open

Payables. Open it up, and export it to Excel.

» When the data opens in Excel, insert a column at the beginning,

give it the title “Company”, and enter a brief description of the

company and copy to every row.

“What new Power BI tools

in Microsoft Excel could make

this easier?!”

52 | GPUG Magazine

Page 53: 2015 Q2/Q3 - GPUG Magazine

» Create a folder that will be dedicated to the AP Trial Balance

Files. We will store nothing else in this folder.

» Save the Excel File as a CSV (Comma delimited) file in this new

folder. Close the Excel workbook you just created.

» In Microsoft Dynamics GP, log in to the next company you want

included in the Aged Trial Balance. Repeat steps 1 through 4

EXCEPT use a different company description for step 2 and save

the file with a different name than in 4. (Yes, I know you are not

an idiot and would not overwrite the first file, but your officemate

might.) Continue for all the companies you want included in the

report. If the EXACT same column layout is not used between

files, this will NOT work. (Did I stress that enough?)

» With the workbooks from the previous steps closed, open a new

workbook in Excel.

» Click on Power Query from the Excel Menu Bar, and the Power

Query ribbon opens. In the Get External Data area of the ribbon,

select From File | From Folder.

» In the Folder window, Browse to the folder that you created in

step 3 above. This is the folder that contains all and only the CSV

files. Click OK.

» The Query Editor will open. You will see a row for every file in

the folder you pointed to in the previous step.

» Highlight all columns EXCEPT the first one (Content). When

they are highlighted, right mouse click and Remove Columns or

press the Delete key.

» On the remaining column, click on the double arrow icon.

» All of the columns in the Excel files will display. The rows will

display all rows from every file in the folder. Also note that the

headers for all files after the first one will also display, so we need

to remove those. In the dropdown list for the second column (I

do not use the column I created in case I did not spell the column

header correctly in one or more files), choose the dropdown

arrow. Select Text Filters | Does not Equal. In the Filter Rows

window, add the column name. I chose the Vendor_ID column,

so my window looks like the following. When finished, click OK.

Yes, I know you are not an idiot

and would not overwrite the first

file, but your officemate might.

Q2/Q3 2015 | 53

Page 54: 2015 Q2/Q3 - GPUG Magazine

» In the Query Settings pane on the right, change

the query Name.

» Highlight all the columns with currency

amounts. Right mouse click and choose Change

Type | Currency.

» On the Query Editor ribbon, in the Close area,

click on the icon for Close & Load. If you click

on the arrow here, you’ll be prompted for Close

& Load and Close & Load To… Select Close &

Load; we want the data in an Excel table.

» Once the data is in Excel, create the pivot table

as you normally would. I put the Company field

I created in columns, so I have one column for

each company or each CSV file.

So that’s a very quick and dirty Power Query-driven

report. One of my teammates recently used Power Query to compare

two budgets from Microsoft Dynamics GP, so the Customer could

see all the differences between the two.

Below are some additional comments and notes I feel I must share

with you if you try this report:

» I used a default SmartList object, so Returns, Credit Memos, and

Payments showed up as positives rather than negatives, so the

totals may not be correct. Make sure you use something that

takes these documents into consideration.

» Although you can create a refreshable report using similar

techniques, you can update this report easily by replacing the

CSV files with new ones, then choose Data | Refresh All (twice).

You can add additional companies by just dropping in more

CSV files, then choose Data | Refresh All (twice). Why do you

have to refresh twice? I’m not certain, but I believe the first time

refreshes the query and the second refreshes the pivot table.

» When using this method, the column structure must be identical,

or it will not work.

Geeking Out on You Here

Going back to how I used this in the first place, I pulled data

from Microsoft Dynamics GP in two different places, created

a column in each to identify where the row came from, and

compared. Not only did I add a row to identify the source, but I

also made the net amount from one source be debits – credits and

the source in the second to be credits – debits. The pivot table

immediately identified all discrepancies. I also used SQL Views

and accessed the view directly in Power Query rather than using

the From Folder option. The use of views makes this repeatable

and refreshable.

I hope this article gives you a powerful reporting option and

possibly a powerful research option! GPUG

is difficult. I believe that the one that would lead to

all others is to “Keep an open mind and embrace

change.”

I thought I had an open mind; however, to truly be

open-minded, one must be ready to change when it

is necessary and/or clearly better. Change is hard for

some, scary for some, and both for others. For me,

most times, it is just downright inconvenient. Once

I learned to embrace change and always be on the

hunt for new AND better, wow, the world opened up.

With an attitude of “I/We CAN do this!”, everything

else just flows into place.

GP SANDBOX™

®

We launched the GP Sandbox exclusively for GPUG® Members in Q1 and are pleased to share some great User feedback on the experience. Check out the quotes below and then check out the Sandbox at www.gpug.com/gp2015.

Great tool to introduce Users to new features within their functional area prior to committing to the upgrade. - Jeff Dalton

I really like this idea, and it is very useful when trying to test or view new features. Thank you. - Shelly Fleener

The GP Sandbox has given our company (Connexus Energy) a window into what is to come. We are in the middle of planning an upgrade to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 from 2010, and this tool has proved very useful to check out what we can soon be looking forward to in the latest and greatest version of Microsoft Dynamics GP. - Brian Lambertz

The GP Sandbox is a handy way to show Users not only the next version of Microsoft Dynamics GP, but also the other products that are available if they would like them installed. - Merri Gorrell

The GP Sandbox was very informative, and the ability to review the “cloud” was very helpful. - Steve Burney
