The auditor’s report covered the period of January of 2017 through October of 2022, not quite 6 years. Over that period the special investigation found a little over $76k in improper disbursements almost $9k of unsupported disbursements. The $76k included: - $42k of personal purchases made with the city’s credit card - $1.1k of unauthorized payroll - $16k in payments to Benson’s personal credit card - $16k in payments to other vendors for personal expenses. The additional $9k was mostly credit card charges and payments to vendors that could not be conclusively proven to be personal. The case has been turned over to law enforcement. If the allegations are true, Donna Benson is no criminal mastermind, but $12k a year was a nice little raise. It gets worse. In March of 2022, six months earlier, the state auditor issued a report recommending the city improve segregate duties, reconcile ending cash and investments, and implement a purchasing policy. None of those recommendations were adopted. The auditor’s special report again recommends strengthening internal controls, including properly segregating duties, performing independent reviews of bank reconciliations, and ensuring all disbursements are properly supported, approved, and paid in a timely manner. This is pretty straightforward stuff. If you think it can’t happen in your organization you’ve simply been lucky. But there’s one more fun piece to this. At the bottom of the article is this [link to all of the State of Iowa’s Auditor reports](https://www.auditor.iowa.gov/reports/audit-reports/?keyword=&EntityTypeID=&CategoryID=10&ReleaseDate=&ReleaseDateTo=&ReportPeriodEnding=&ReportPeriodEndingTo=&FirmID=). [Additionally there is a detailed link for each case including this one.](https://www.auditor.iowa.gov/reports/file/72986/embed) The details are fascinating and the number of investigations is eye opening. Not all of them result in referrals to law enforcement, one case found $151 in improper disbursement for example, but there’s a lot of shenanigans going on. --- ## All the Queen’s Horses – Like Parks & Rec + Fraud - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/all-the-queens-horses-like-parks-rec-fraud/ - Date: 2023-02-17 - Topics: Fraud, Audit & Controls, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article This one comes with a movie so grab some popcorn. The documentary [All the Queen’s Horses](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5709852/) moves around to different streaming services so Google it and grab it. It’s about 75 minutes long and worth it. I try to make sure that every new employee of Fastpath sees this. It helps explain why we matter. Dixon, IL is a modest city with a population of 15,800. Their annual budget is $8-9 million. Over a number of years, their controller Rita A. Crundwell stole $53 million from 1991 through 2012. I’m going to let that number sink in. [On December 8, 1990, Crundwell set up a secret bank account named the Reserve Sewer Capital Development Account (RSCDA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_Crundwell). This was not actually a city account, but it looked like one, and Crundwell was the only signatory. Crundwell would move money into the Capital Development Fund. She would then create false state invoices payable to “Treasurer, State of Illinois” and generate checks payable to “Treasurer”, conveniently leaving out the State of Illinois part. Crundwell was the treasurer of the city of Dixon. Those checks were then deposited into the RSDCA account. Her process made it appear that she was making payments to the state when in fact she was moving money into an account over which she had sole control. [Rita was able to accomplish this because she had full control](https://cpahalltalk.com/rita-crundwell-story/)[.](https://cpahalltalk.com/rita-crundwell-story/) She opened the mail, processed invoices, prepared checks, signed checks, managed the accounting system, and performed the bank reconciliation. She did this for 22 years. Rita started small, stealing only $181k in her first year. But her thefts increased from there. In 2008 she stole $5.8 million from a city with a budget of $8-9 million. She averaged about $2.5 million a year over 22 years. It gets worse, the city had a budget and was audited every year. Crundwell managed the budget and she managed to fool the auditors. Rita got caught when she took an extended vacation. Her replacement asked the bank for a list of all bank accounts and found the RSCDA account. Forcing accounting personnel to take vacations is actually a control point. A surprising number of frauds are identified because while the fraudster is out. Often the fraudster is described as “hardworking, they never take vacations”. What did Rita do with all the money? She didn’t blow it on cattle futures, she bought show horses…expensive show horses, and she ran a horse breeding operation. By all accounts, she was good at her hobby too. Her horses won 52 world championships and she was named a leading owner by the American Quarter Horse Association for eight consecutive years. She also had all the accessories like a farm and a multimillion-dollar motorhome for traveling to horse shows. There were red flags. The city ran a deficit while surrounding cities ran surpluses. Crundwell blamed budget shortfalls on the state being late with tax revenue shares. She was also living well beyond her means. [Living beyond one’s means was the number one fraud indicator in every Association of Certified Fraud Examiners annual study since 2008.](https://legacy.acfe.com/report-to-the-nations/2022/) People had questions so they filled in with assumptions. She had inherited the money. Her horse breeding operation was very profitable, etc. Fraud like this should be preventable or at least quickly detected. There are a lot of basic controls for this. First up segregation of duties. Rita Crundwell obviously had too much control of the process. No one person should have complete control of any process. Up next, getting a list of accounts from the bank. The auditors almost certainly confirmed the balances from a list Crundwell gave them. It wasn’t until someone asked the bank that Rita was caught. As an aside, bankruptcy investigators at FTX also had to go find all of their bank accounts. Additionally, a big part of segregating duties is independent bank reconciliations. This is one of the few independent confirmations of company cash flows and the process is often treated as a chore instead of a critical tool. I’ve seen an otherwise very good controller fired because their team couldn’t produce timely bank reconciliations. Finally, having a whistleblower option like a phone line, website, etc. is also an important defense here. Not everyone sees someone living beyond their means. People had questions about Crundwell’s lifestyle but no one spoke up. --- ## Celsius, Crypto, & Commingling Fraud - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/celsius-crypto-commingling-fraud/ - Date: 2023-01-13 - Topics: Fraud, Audit & Controls, General Ledger & Financials, Payables & Receivables - Type: original article We’ll get to FTX eventually, but first, let’s look at Celsius. [Much of this post comes from the Celsius bankruptcy filing here.](https://cases.stretto.com/public/x191/11749/PLEADINGS/1174911202280000000001.pdf) Celsius was a crypto lending firm founded in 2018. Their primary product was called an Earn account. Customers would deposit crypto asses with Celsius in exchange for rewards. Customers could also borrow against their crypto assets. Celsius would move assets from bridge wallets tied to a customer to aggregator wallets from which it would invest and make loans. Think of this as similar to cash in a bank. If I deposit $100 it does not sit in an envelope with my name on it waiting for me to withdraw. It is comingled, loaned, etc. There is no way to trace my $100 through the bank, there is just a ledger entry that I’m owed $100 by the bank when I ask for it. (For clarity, each type of cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, had its own aggregator wallet, like aggregating dollars and Euros in separate accounts.) Later, US regulators pressured Celsius to change its business model under the theory that the Earn product was a security that should be regulated. As a result, Celsius launched its Custody program for US customers. Custody accounts were not eligible for rewards and would not be transferred, sold, loaned, etc. The custody model was supposed to be closer to a digital safe deposit box. Because of the regulatory pressure (and their own procrastination), Celsius moved fast to launch Custody accounts and they broke things. A lot of things, Heck everything. Part of this speed run included: - Relying on manual reconciliations of crypto assets without robust controls. If you’ve ever tried to reconcile a bank account where bank deposits were aggregated but the individual checks for that deposit were listed in the accounting system, you understand how ugly this can be. Now multiply that times thousands. - Creating a 3rd product, Withhold accounts, for states where they weren’t licensed for their Custody accounts. The Withhold accounts had no terms of service. - Not creating separate wallets for Withhold accounts and not otherwise separating the funds. To fund the Custody accounts, Celsius transferred crypto assets from the main or aggregator wallets, but they did not have a process to separate new deposits. Deposits continued to come into the aggregator wallets. Celsius’s Custody program did not automatically balance the number of coins reflected in Custody accounts to the number of coins held in aggregated Custody wallets. This is essentially making sure the value and currency type in the big custody envelope matches the ledger of all customers. Celsius had to manually reconcile those balances. Celsius performed this reconciliation 53 times during the 83-day period between April 20, 2022 (when it first reconciled the Custody wallet holdings to the Custody accounts) and July 12, 2022 (the day before Celsius filed for bankruptcy). There were no defined rules or policies to guide this process. Finally, Celcius would move money into and out of custody wallets if reconciliations showed a shortfall or overage. In May 2022, Celsius experienced significant withdrawals leading to a liquidity crisis. They responded by pausing withdrawals. Oddly, because of the speed with which they implemented these products, they had no way to pause deposits, and they kept coming in. As a result, despite a “pause” customer balances still weren’t static. Ultimately Celsius determined that they did not have the capital to fund continued withdrawals or they would take significant losses unwinding positions to fund withdrawals. Remember that Celsius loaned money on cryptocurrencies. Ultimately, Celsius declared bankruptcy. Essentially, Celsius was a run on the bank. With longer-term loans funded by shorter-term deposits, if enough people decide to withdraw, there isn’t enough to pay them because cash is still tied up in loans. But under the hood, the story of Celsius is a story of missing controls. Missing controls to the point that Celsius was never really sure what they had. Missing controls to the point that they appear to have materially misled customers about how Custody and Withhold accounts were actually managed. A couple of quotes that illustrate this: Mr. Koprivica summarized management’s message to the product development team as: “[G]o back to blackboard, do the minimum of all minimums, this may be manual for the start, involve less developers, lets discuss deadlines.” …there was no “common understanding” of the concept of custody between team members with a “finance background”and those without…Celsius did not consider creating a Custody wallet for each Custody customer. In fact, Mr. Noy did not recall that idea ever being suggested. > > …there was no “common understanding” of the concept of custody between team members with a “finance background”and those without…Celsius did not consider creating a Custody wallet for each Custody customer. In fact, Mr. Noy did not recall that idea ever being suggested. > > > > – US BANKRUPTCY FILING SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK – CELSIUS NETWORK LLC, 11/19/22 Also, Celsius made the decision to initially overfund Custody wallets by 10% as a buffer against mistakes. As a result: > Because of the manner in which Celsius initially funded the Custody wallets—most notably the intentional overfunding—on April 15, 2022, no Custody wallet held exactly the number of coins that were supposed to be a part of the Custody program. > > [![](/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot-2023-01-03-at-9.18.16-PM-1024x426.png)](/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Screenshot-2023-01-03-at-9.18.16-PM.png) > > Custody wallet movement and reconciliation process For Celsius, the reconciliation of Custody accounts wasn’t a mitigating control but the process itself. The reconciliation determined the amount rather than confirming the amount. Turning to Withhold accounts, Celsius never separately identified Withhold accounts or funds in management reporting. Withhold funds remained in the main accounts available for any use Celsius saw fit. This is contradictory to communication with customers which encouraged them to withdraw these coins (Celsius no longer had a license for the state where those customers lived) and that the coins would be maintained until withdrawn. When a company tells customers that they aren’t going to loan, sell, or do anything else with their funds, they have a right to rely on that. The company has a fiduciary responsibility to appropriately manage customer assets. Tone at the top continues to be important and fraud at the top of organizations continues to be the most expensive. [Matt Levine of Bloomberg l](https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/authors/ARbTQlRLRjE/matthew-s-levine)ikes to say that crypto keeps rediscovering all the mistakes of banking and finance at an accelerated rate. I agree. I would add that if the crypto community wants the world to quit treating crypto as play money, they should stop managing it like play money. What are the lessons here? 1. Controls matter – Like what we are seeing at FTX, there were few if any controls at Celsius. 2. Process and infrastructure matter too. Just as the control should match the risk, processes, and infrastructure need to be up to the task. Just as we wouldn’t consider a manual quarterly review of a high-value, high-volume bank account to be adequate, we shouldn’t consider a manual reconciliation against thousands of customers a reasonable, repeatable process. 3. The tone at the top still matters. As much as this is a process failure, it’s also an ethical failure to properly manage customer funds. Update 2023.02.10: The final bankruptcy report has been released. [It’s available here.](https://www.jenner.com/a/web/aag4HeVaPPyEsfWyTp9N5G/4SaB6v/celsius-final-report-shoba-pillay.pdf) Honestly, it’s even worse than what I’ve described. It’s ineptitude up and down the organization. It is, however, a heck of a read. Update 2023.02.16: While FTX gets the press, Celsius is the current story that keeps giving. The latest is that it may not be possible to determine Celsius’ intercompany balances without an army of forensic accountants because [more than 7,000 intercompany transactions were never recorded](https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/02/17/celsius-failed-to-record-some-7000-intercompany-transfers-worth-billions-leading-up-to-bankruptcy/). People like to hate on accountants, but accountants record stuff. Even when it’s recorded wrong, it gets written down, and that is way easier to fix. “Let’s start a complex business maintaining customer money worldwide and not write much down” is not a business model. When people start calling Celsius a fraud from the beginning its because of things like this. --- ## Don’t Default to Excel - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/dont-default-to-excel/ - Date: 2021-04-05 - Topics: Excel & Office, Install, Upgrade & Admin, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article I’m a big fan of Excel. Heck, I’m such a fan I’ve [written a couple of books around it.](https://www.amazon.com/Mark-Polino/e/B003VARZ72/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&linkCode=ur2&qid=1400686241&sr=1-2-ent&tag=polinofamilywebs&linkId=LRBDEIXZ3JXXKYNH) I have a [tool built on it](/historical-excel-reporting/). It is unequivocally the glue that holds financial departments, and in some cases organizations, together. Sometimes though, people take that too far. All too often users lean into Excel because it’s familiar. Instead of learning the application sending data to Excel, they simply export to Excel. Why is this bad? Let me count the ways. 1. **Excel isn’t as good as a dedicated tool.** I see this where systems have tools dedicated to a task and instead of using those tools users choose Excel. A great example of this is bank reconciliations. ERP systems have dedicated bank rec modules. They are designed with appropriate controls, imports from bank records, and math that always works. Still, a fair number of people choose to skip using bank rec modules and do it via Excel. It’s always messy. It’s easy to get the math wrong. It’s also not something that auditors are a fan of because Excel sheets are more prone to manipulation. I’ve seen at least one person fired for this when flaws in their Excel sheet were exposed. 2. **Excel may add work.** This happens when users reflexively export to Excel without understanding the core system. Many times I’ve seen users export data and build a big report from scratch in Excel. This process gets repeated month after month. Later, sometimes years later, they realize that the system actually has the report they needed and they could have avoided all the wasted effort. 3. **Excel can add complexity**. Similar to the last item, I see users export data from multiple reports and pull data together with vlookups. In the process, they build a mess because they don’t understand the underlying data. Just because data can be connected a certain way, doesn’t mean it is connected that way. There may other elements required for an appropriate connection. Explaining the mess tends to be hard on the ego of folks who created the mess. It’s exhausting convincing them that their Excel model is wrong. Excel is not always the best choice for connecting data, that’s why databases exist. There’s a second part to this as well. If you’ve ever inherited someone else’s Excel sheet, you understand how difficult it can be to simply understand, not mention untangle, what they’ve done. 4. **Excel can include errors**. This one is pretty obvious. We’ve all made an Excel math error, formula error, something, heck multiple somethings. Experienced folks build checks and balances into their sheets and that adds another level of complexity. Sometimes this gets overblown, but it takes a lot of work to protect a sheet against errors. I have absolutely nothing against Excel. I use it a lot, but I don’t default to it. Excel shouldn’t be a primary tool. It should be a fallback when a primary tool falls short. Take the time and energy to figure out primary systems and use Excel to fill in the gaps. --- ## Why are you still using the GP Stock Status Report? - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/why-are-you-still-using-the-gp-stock-status-report/ - Date: 2021-03-15 - Topics: Reporting & BI, General Ledger & Financials, Sales, Purchasing & Inventory - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 10 - Type: original article It’s a valid question. Why are you still using the GP Stock Status Report? or even the Historical Stock Status Report? The Stock Status Reports aren’t designed to tie to General Ledger. The Historical Inventory Trial Balance (HITB) is designed to tie to GL. From Microsoft’s own: [How to determine, maintain, and report accurate costing in Inventory](https://www.gpug.com/HigherLogic/System/DownloadDocumentFile.ashx?DocumentFileKey=81f5437a-ae85-44fd-b931-6b064d2a0870&forceDialog=0), pg 9 > In conclusion, we recommend that customers do not use the Inventory Historical Stock Status report to adjust or balance to the general ledger. The report was not designed for that purpose. While FIFO/LIFO perpetual inventories may be very close in balancing, there are issues still pending that would keep this report from balancing to the general ledger. HITB has been out since GP 10 SP2, way back in 2008, yes 2008. HITB becomes a teenager this year. Despite this, I still see a lot of people still using the Stock Status Report. It’s long past time to move off Stock Status and on to HITB. --- ## GP Easy Security Fixes: Bank Transactions and Reconciliation - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/gp-easy-security-fixes-bank-reconciliation/ - Date: 2019-01-29 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Install, Upgrade & Admin - Type: original article [In this series, we’re looking at quick fixes to improve GP security. ] When we look at controls, every company, even the smallest companies, even organizations that don’t really know what controls are, uses the most ubiquitous of controls, bank reconciliation. It’s one of the few regular, independent checks of what goes on in a company. I’ve seen senior accountants get fired for poor bank reconciliation management and I’ve seen awful bank reconciliations as a symptom of deeper problems in a company that ultimately failed spectacularly. As a result, it makes sense to ensure that users who perform bank reconciliations are independent from transactions. A review of bank reconciliations isn’t enough. It’s easy to hide transactions from a review. Bank reconciliation really needs to be performed by someone with an independent attitude not tied to transactions. Ideally, it should performed daily to provide the greatest benefit, but even the traditional monthly reconciliation, but provides and effective control if done right. Finding the right position to reconcile bank accounts can be tough for organizations. Often the person best positioned to perform the reconciliation is also the person in the best position to manipulate the results. In Dynamics GP, the window is Reconcile Bank Statements and it is the only item included in the task TRX\_FIN\_008\*. By default this does NOT include posting, but would allow a user to make adjusting entries, just not post them. Adjusting entries in GP bank rec are designed for things like bank fees or interest, items that are typically first reported on the bank statement, but they can be used for almost anything. Bank rec users should not have access to other types of bank transactions. Additionally, a policy of forcing adjustments to be made outside of bank reconciliation provides another measure of safety. ![](/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Screen-Shot-2019-01-09-at-12.08.08-PM.png) Reconcile Bank Statement Task The real keys are to first ensure that this task is not combined into other roles that allow transactions against bank accounts and second to ensure that when a user is a assigned a role with bank rec included, they are not also assigned transactional roles. Bank reconciliation is a core control. Ideally, it’s performed daily, to be as timely as possible, and by someone not involved in transactions for some level of independence.

That means posting transactions in the correct period. Both revenues and expenses can be manipulated by posting them in past or future periods and this results in incorrect financial statements. Getting the dates right in Dynamics GP can be more challenging than it seems. ([We looked at this in our Controller series](/providing-consistency-with-dates/).) But just as important is maintaining control of fiscal periods. GP makes it easy to open and close fiscal periods for various modules. Dig deeper and you’ll see that GP actually provides fine grain control for opening and closing individual transaction types. That’s overkill for most organizations. ![](/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Screen-Shot-2019-01-08-at-11.07.49-AM.png) Fiscal Periods Setup The key is that there should only be one or two individuals with rights to open and close periods and those users should not be allowed to create or change transactions. Otherwise, it’s just too easy to open a month and post backwards or open next year and push a transaction far into the future. Fiscal Periods are managed via Administration>Setup>Company>Fiscal Periods. The window is Fiscal Periods Setup and by default its assigned to these roles: - Accounts Payable Clerk - Accounting Manager - Power User The default task is ADMIN\_COMPANY\_001\*. I would strongly recommend removing this task from the Accounts Payable Clerk role right now. I’ll wait… Realistically, the Fiscal Periods Setup window should be segregated into a role without transaction access. For example, a role that allows maintaining the chart of accounts and fiscal periods, but not transaction entry, starts to provide a level of effective segregation without imposing a significant burden. Also, be careful with two other items: access to the Professional Services Tools library and the Allow Posting to History setting in General Ledger setup. The Fiscal Period Modifier tool included with the Professional Services Tools Library can be used to reopen closed years. Imagine posting transactions 10 years back to hide inappropriate transactions. ![](/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Screen-Shot-2019-01-08-at-11.07.00-AM.png) Fiscal Period Modifier Similarly,  Allow Posting to History is a setting that allows posting directly to the last closed year if a fiscal period is open for that year. This is a great feature for closing the year while still being able to make final adjusting entries. It’s also dangerous once year end close is complete. ![](/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Screen-Shot-2019-01-08-at-11.07.59-AM.png) Posting to History Properly managing fiscal periods help keep closed years closed and current year transactions in the right periods.

If users can make and post journal entries without any review, they can do just about anything to the final financial statement numbers. In Dynamics GP, there are actually three different ways to enter a journal entry and an easy security fix is to turn off two of them. In Dynamics GP, a journal entry can be created using the Transaction Entry, Quick Journal Entry, or Clearing Entry windows. Transaction Entry is the primary journal entry option. It supports batches for review, approval of batches, and workflow approval by batch. This is what most people think of when they think of creating a journal entry in GP. It’s also the area where organizations are most likely to place controls. ![](/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Screen-Shot-2019-01-07-at-3.51.25-PM.png) Quick Journals were designed to be journal entries created via templates where the accounts were similar from month to month, but the amounts  would change. There are a couple of problems with Quick Journals: - They don’t use batches making them difficult for others to review prior to posting - They don’t support approvals - They don’t support workflow - They are rarely used. This last one is actually the biggest issue. Because many companies barely know that Quick Journals exist, they don’t restrict them in security. It’s a journal entry hole big enough to drive a truck through. ![](/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Screen-Shot-2019-01-07-at-3.53.20-PM.png) On top of that, Quick Journal functionality can be duplicated using recurring batches in Transaction Entry. The Recurring Batches feature provides equivalent functionality with approval and review options using the Transaction Entry window. There is a simple fix, turn Quick Journals off. In a base GP install, the Accounting Manager, Bookkeeper, and Power User roles have access to the Quick Journal Entry window. It is a part of the TRX\_FIN\_001\* task. Simply remove the window from the task to remove access using Setup>System>Security Tasks. Finally, we come to the odd little feature known as Clearing Entries. Clearing entries are designed to clear the balance of an account (either year-to-date or for a specific period) to a different account, hence the name. The odd part is that these entries don’t show any amounts. Users simply select Year-to-Date or Trx Period and they are left hoping the amount is correct. While a report can be run to show the amount, that’s extra time and effort just to see the amounts on a journal entry. This is another feature that is rarely if ever used. Most users prefer to validate the balance to be moved and then process a regular journal entry. ![](/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Screen-Shot-2019-01-07-at-3.57.56-PM.png) Clearing entries do support batches, but there is so little benefit to clearing entries that most users avoid them. Turning them off is a great way to ensure that they can’t be used as a back door to an inappropriate journal entry. Clearing entries are also part of the Accounting Manager, Bookkeeper and Power User roles and they are a member of the TRX\_FIN\_001\* task by default. Simply remove the window from the task to turn it off using Setup>System>Security Tasks. With just a couple of simple tweaks, it’s easy close off access to alternative journal entry options and focus control on the main Transaction Entry window.

Expected costs for received goods go into Accrued Purchases. Once the goods are received, the accrued purchases amount is moved to Accounts Payable. The tool for reconciling received amounts to Accrued Purchases is Received Not Invoiced. With GP 2015 R2, the MS team also released a Historical Received Not Invoiced report and that can be big help when the reconciliation is not done right at month end. Either way, there are some issues with this process. The problem comes when the process doesn’t proceed as planned. For example, the invoice gets processed and paid via Accounts Payable instead of the three-way match process. Maybe someone closes the P.O. or a P.O. line before the process is complete. All of these make reconciling to the GL hard. However, there are some simple steps to keep this process running smoothly. 1. Turn on the PO warning in GP that checks for Purchase Orders related to an invoice. If an invoice is found, the user should stop processing via AP and enter the invoice via the matching process. Prevention solves most of these issues. 2. Be careful closing P.O.s. Validate where the P.O. is in the process before closing out incomplete P.O. and P.O. line items. 3. Use the Historical Received Not Invoiced report if possible to pick a point in time and prevent report data from changing while cleaning up. 4. I’ve some [recommendations on clean up](/weekly-dynamic-cleaning-up-received-not-invoiced/) if you already have a mess. Much of this can be done in bulk, especially if the invoice went through Accounts Payable. For any cleanup, there are 3 considerations, the Received Not Invoiced Report, the GL, the AP Subledger. Without some careful thought, one of these won’t come out right and things won’t balance.

Both of them have some pretty significant pros and cons. The two reports are the Historical Stock Status (HSS) report and the Historical Aged Trial Balance (HITB). For a long time, all we had was the point in time stock status report in GP. To get this right, it needed to be run at month end. Miss the timing, and you were just stuck.  Along came a historical version of that report that finally allowed going back in time, but HSS but it had its own issues. Enter the HITB, a report designed to tie to GL, but with a big implementation caveat. Historical Stock Status is not designed to reconcile to the subledger. It may, and it’s often close, but the design of this report prevents a perfect reconciliation. For a long time, however, it was the only reasonable option.  HSS starts with the current cost of an item multiplied by the quantity and then subtracts transactions to get back to the date selected. Working back to a date is the historical component. This report may not tie to the GL because it ignores the cost layers with that initial value. The current cost is really the last cost and often not representative of the full value. For example, current cost is $100. Quantity is 11 units. The report would start with a valuation of $1,100. But in inventory, this product was bought in two purchases, one purchase of 10 units at $80. The second purchase was a single unit at $100. $80 x 10 =$800 + $100 =$900 and $900 does not equal $1,100 from the HSS. This can work in both directions. Also, HSS works with transactions and does not take into account inventory cost adjustment. It’s usually close except when there are large price swings. HITB was introduced with GP 10 and is designed to be the reconciling companion for inventory. However, for HITB to work, it required some data not previously present in GP, which means that it got additional tables. These tables were unpopulated by existing inventory transactions. For HITB to work, Microsoft provided an IV reset tool that would populate the tables from existing data but it required resetting all the inventory cost layers to a new starting layer. For some companies, this would result in a significant change to their inventory valuation and they were unwilling to do that. HITB collects data whether the reset tool is used or not, it’s just not accurate if there are pre-HITB items still in inventory. For most folks, this should no longer be a problem since HITB was released with GP 10 in 2007, but there are some long inventory manufacturers out there (think Christmas trees, aged bourbon, etc.) along with plenty of people who do a poor job cleaning out obsolete inventory. So here is the bottom line. - If your company first implemented GP with GP 10 or higher, use the HITB. - If your company ran the IV Reset Tool somewhere along the way, use the HITB. - If every item in inventory has turned at least once since 2007, you should be good with HITB. - If you are on a version prior to 10, the only option is HSS. - If your company started with GP prior to GP 10, you have not run the IV reset tool, and you still have a few leftover items in inventory, consider running the tool to evaluate how much your inventory would change. The tool provides this information prior to finalizing anything. If the number is small enough, consider resetting the inventory layers to be able to use HITB. One more note, both of these reports are often requested in Excel. They are both very hard to get from GP into any kind of reasonable format in Excel. The best native option is to use the SSRS versions and export them, but even that requires a lot of clean up. The best option is to purchase and use [Historical Excel Reporting](/historical-excel-reporting/) to run these reports directly in Excel.

It’s more than capable of dealing with fixed asset management for most organizations. However, it does have a few idiosyncracies. Once those have been mastered, working with assets in GP is much easier.  Here are things you need to understand of to really master Fixed Assets: - The fixed asset module has its own calendar in **Tools-Setup-FixedAssets-Quarter.**This drives depreciation settings and it usually only has to be set up once. Still, it’s important to review the setup to ensure that it matches the fiscal calendar. If they don’t match, depreciation ends up in all the wrong periods. - Fixed Asset Account setup doesn’t work like other subledgers in GP. In GP Fixed Assets, accounts are assigned to classes, just like other subledgers. New assets are assigned a class and that assigns accounts, just like other subledgers. Where it changes is that these are one-time assignments. The class is used to set the account but is not retained with the asset.  There is a separate account window to change or set accounts manually for each asset. If an asset is posting in the wrong place, the account needs to be correct on the asset, regardless of the class that was used to set it up. - Separate posting depreciation from posting asset additions/changes/retirements. This is a best practice that dramatically improves asset subledger to GL reconciliation. By separating these processes, asset additions, changes, and retirements don’t get lost in a sea of depreciation. In my experience, most reconciliation issues are found outside of depreciation. Depreciation posting issues are usually fixed once with an account change so they shouldn’t contribute to regularly to reconciliation issues. In older versions of GP, this is managed with ordering the process. In newer versions, the source type (FADEP = Depreciation, FAADD = Additions, etc.) can be used to segregate the GL posting. - When someone is stuck troubleshooting a fixed asset reconciliation, the Financial Detail window found via **Inquiry-Fixed Asset-Financial Detail**shows everything that happens to an asset and is key to finding and fixing issues. There are additional details in the resources below. > [Weekly Review: Putting the Fix in Fixed Assets](/weekly-review-putting-the-fix-in-fixed-assets/) > [Weekly Review: Fixed Asset/GL Best Practices](/weekly-review-fixed-assetgl-best-practices/) Links to all the posts in this series can be found at [https://dynamicaccounting.net/gp-controller-series-index/](/gp-controller-series-index/) --- ## GP Controller Series: Providing Consistency with Dates - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/providing-consistency-with-dates/ - Date: 2018-10-23 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Payables & Receivables - Type: original article One of the most common causes for transaction problems in GP revolves around dates, especially posting dates. Users simply post transactions into the wrong period.  Keeping periods closed when not in use is helpful, however, there is always a time around month end where two periods are open. Date management in GP is just complicated enough that keeping dates straight requires a mix of setup, process, and training. In GP, most subledger transactions can be posted at the transaction level or as a batch of transactions. A few transaction types, mostly banking related, can only post per transaction. If batch posting is available, use batch posting. In many cases transaction posting ignores posting settings and doesn’t post through the GL, meaning it has to be posted twice, once in the subledger and once in the GL. Obviously, this is less than ideal. Additionally, posting via batch typically uses a single batch for the date making it easier to validate. Most subledger transactions have two dates, a transaction date, and a posting date. In AP, for example, the transaction date (technically document date in AP) on a voucher is the date of the vendor’s invoice. This is used to age the invoice properly, regardless of when it arrived. For transaction posting, the posting date defaults to the document data and that’s typically not the appropriate date. The actual posting date is hidden behind an expansion button (blue arrow) where users often don’t see this setting to change the posting date. With subledger batch posting, the posting date is assigned at the batch level and applied to all transactions in that batch. [![](/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Screen-Shot-2018-09-25-at-10.58.27-AM.png)](/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Screen-Shot-2018-09-25-at-10.58.27-AM.png) It is important to note that for GL transactions, the transaction date is always the posting date. There is no date on journal entry batches. The keys to managing dates in GP are: 1. Post by batch where ever possible. 2. Disable transaction posting for items using batch posting to prevent rogue transactions. 3. Train people to double check posting dates for transaction posted items. 4. Review transaction or batch dates prior to posting.

Companies are reviewing internal records, the GL, to external records from the bank. This is a critical exercise and a key control point. I’ve personally seen more than one significant mess resulting from missing bank recs. Most companies reconcile monthly. The monthly reconciliation is tedious and time-consuming, usually coming during the pressured-filled month-end period. Monthly is also a little slow in today’s environment. If a bank rec is missed, it’s another month before it’s complete. Inconsistency around bank recs is a key harbinger of other problems in the organization. I’m a strong proponent of daily bank account reconciliation. The time required is generally very short. Missing a day, because someone is out, is easily caught up. Errors and problems are identified quickly, not a month later, and month end bank rec becomes simply reconciling the last day of the month. Daily bank recs support the idea of a lot of little corrections to make sure that things are on the right path. [There are details of how to do this at DynamicsAccounting.net](/weekly-review-daily-bank-reconciliations/) with options for automated, manual, and third-party options. The key as a controller is making the decision to implement daily bank reconciliations and following through to ensure that it’s happening.

Keeping track of who is responsible for the various processes can be a pain. Usually, this ends up being a spreadsheet maintained by someone. Repurpose one of the User Defined fields on Account Maintenance to identify the user responsible for the reconciliation or roll-forward for each account. Once that is done, a small adjustment to a Smartlist makes it easy to show this information for use as a month-end checklist. [More detail here](/wp-admin/post.php).

The extra period is usually not the real issue. Underlying the question is that folks want a way to identify and segregate specific journal entries. These could be post-period adjustments, auditor required entries, corrections, etc. I don’t recommend a 13th period in GP. It’s not necessary and it can wreak havoc with fixed assets if you aren’t careful and cause problems with deferrals. Instead, create additional Source Documents for Journal Entries in GP. For example, one could be labeled AUDIT for audit adjustments, another could be PCLOSE or YE for post-close year-end fixes. ![](https://i2.wp.com/mpolino.com/gp/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Capture4.png) These entries are searchable in Smartlists making it easy to identify different types of journal entries. A secondary benefit is improved consistency around adjustments. Most organizations don’t have some kind of extra period for quarter end adjustments, but this process can be used for any post-period adjustment making those transactions more consistent and easier to review.

I’ve had this idea in my head for a while. I was thinking of it as a book, but I’m not sure that’s going to happen so I’ve decided to tackle this as a series of blog posts. Call it “the book that never was”. The first installment is 12 tips over 12 weeks and this page will hold links to each element. As a controller, the job isn’t to process accounting transactions, the job is to facilitate accounting done by your team to ensure that it is accurate, timely, and efficient. In that spirit, these leading practices will be broader and focus on features and techniques designed to make your use of GP more accurate, timely, and efficient. I may link to step-by-step instructions for reference but as a controller, that’s not the job. The job is to oversee and use others like your team, your VAR, IT, an internal champion, etc. to get the job done, not do it yourself.

One of the big keys to getting clean reconciliations at month end is to ensure that only data from subledgers flows into control accounts in the GL. For example, the value in the AP account in GL should tie back to the detail in the subledger via the Historical Aged Trial Balance account for AP. The most common scenario when they don’t match is that someone made an entry directly to AP. That should be prevented. The key to managing this is the **Allow Account Entry**setting. This is a setting in the chart on each account. This setting should be UNCHECKED for control accounts (cash, A/P, A/R, Inventory, etc.). By unchecking this option, direct posting to these accounts via the GL is restricted. Posting to these accounts must flow through a subledger . This helps eliminate mismatches when reconciling subledgers to the GL. ![[image[23].png]](/img/blogger/a38241e948cfe0e6.png) If someone truly needs to enter a journal entry to fix something, make them ask for this item to be checked temporarily. That additional control point helps make sure that a JE is a right way to fix something. Don’t mix and match. For example, if there are receivables in GP they flow into an AR account in the GL. If there are also receivables from another system, a non-GL module, or some type of ad hoc AR, they should flow into a different AR account. Mixing them just makes reconciliation harder. [You can find more detail about Allow Account Entry here](https://janakirammp.blogspot.com/2011/02/gp-basics-allow-account-entry.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+Dynamicsblogger+(DynamicsBlogger)&utm_content=Google+Reader).

These guys are always in balance. We had done some AP cleanup together earlier in the month and to make matters worse, they do a ton of credit card transactions that run through this account in GP. Here is an example: - You enter an AP voucher to Vendor A. GP creates a sub ledger liability and the GL shows a credit to AP with the Orig Master Name as Vendor A. - You pay that voucher with a Visa in GP. GP moves the sub ledger liability from Vendor A to vendor Visa but no GL transaction is created. - Next you pay Visa (and a bunch of other vouchers tied to Visa). The sub ledger is cleared and the GL shows a debit to AP but now the Orig Master Name is Visa. This works and there is nothing incorrect about it, but there is no connection in the GL between the voucher and the ultimate payment. This makes reconciling these kinds of transactions a nightmare. Especially when there are thousands of them. Back to my story. This company was always in balance and suddenly they were not. I looked and looked and looked and found…nothing. The cleanup we had done seemed to have worked fine. I worked on this on and off for 2 weeks and I was lost, so I applied [The Closer from Reporting Central](http://reporting-central.com/closer-free-trial/). Angels sang a large spotlight shown down from heaven pointing to the problem…or not. The Closer didn’t popup a big arrow saying fix this, but it did clarify some things I was seeing. It’s much easier to read than the GP tool or building SQL queries and it convinced me that we didn’t have a normal reconciliation problem. So I dug deeper into the tables, but now with some direction. Ultimately I found a posted transaction that didn’t properly clear. It existed in both the AP history tables and in some, but not all, AP open tables. Once I confirmed that everything was in history, I removed the transactions remnants from the open tables and we were back in balance…to the penny. Part of the lesson here is that there are reconciling problems…date issues, wrong accounts, direct GL entries, etc. and there are reconciling problems. For me, The Closer eliminated that first set of reconciliation issues, the typical ones, and led me to focus on something more out of the ordinary. --- ## Fixed Assets Additions Have No Accounts in GL Posting FAADD – ERP Software Blog - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/fixed-assets-additions-have-no-accounts-in-gl-posting-faadd-erp-software-blog/ - Date: 2015-06-17 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article > I had a client at which I imported approximately 3900 Fixed Assets using the Integration Manager integration.  The Assets all had valid account groups assigned and were imported correctly.

I’m the one who inadvertently created the problem, Dave worked with MS to get it solved. When working with MR, the import exchange ID’s need to be identical all the way through **including case**. For example, MR sees USD to CHF (Swiss Francs) and usd to chf as different ID’s. In our client’s case USD to Euro’s imported into MR fine, but USD to Swiss Franc’s wouldn’t. It was crazy. Setups were the same across different companies, but some multi-currency imports worked and some didn’t. If you run into that, check the case of your currency ID’s. They need to be consistent all the way through including case. MS has written this up as a bug. As part of troubleshooting, MR was updated to the absolute latest version (CU11) and the latest hot fix. The client’s SQL server was NOT case sensitive so the case difference shouldn’t have been a problem. --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Shrink an account segment - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-shrink-an-account-segment/ - Date: 2015-02-23 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article --- Featured Post --- I want to stop and hang out for a minute on Leslie Vail’s post on [Reshuffling your Account Structure.](http://dynamicsconfessions.blogspot.com/2015/02/reshuffling-your-account-structure.html) Let’s pull out one part of this post. If you need to shrink the size of a segment in GP, you can do it. You’ll need to use PSTL to shrink the data adding spaces where you want to reduce the size. For example, I had someone recently who had a six digit segment with either 000000 or 000001 in the field. Among other things they wanted to shrink this to either a 0 or a 1. We used PSTL to update these to either ‘1     ‘ or ‘0     ‘.  That’s a 1 or a zero with 5 spaces behind it. We didn’t have to force the spaces, just updating to 1 or 0 left the account with the blank spaces. After that we run Administration | Utilities | System | Reconcile and reconcile shrinks up the accounts. You don’t have to change your account segment setup, reconcile does that as part of the process. Leslie covers a lot more in her post, but I wanted to highlight just that portion because I think it’s important all by itself. --- ## Budget Spreadsheets are Complex! – Energized Accounting - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/budget-spreadsheets-complex-energized-accounting/ - Date: 2015-02-12 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Excel & Office - Type: original article Energized accounting knows that Budget Spreadsheets are Complex!  and offers a model for dealing with that complexity. --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Fixed Asset Auto Number by Class - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-fixed-asset-auto-number-class/ - Date: 2014-11-17 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2013 - Type: original article --- Featured Post --- GP 2013 introduced automatic numbering for fixed assets.

On the Polino Roundtable GPUG Special Interest group, we stumbled on another. Someone asked  if it was possible to mass retire assets. You can, it’s a menu choice under Financial Transactions. But you have to create a group and groups are a pain to create and they aren’t shared among users so the pain of creating one can’t even be diffused among the user group. This is where Navigation Lists come in. To use Navigation Lists to make this process easier: - In GP, select the Financial Area Page and pick the Assets navigation list on the left. - Check the box next to several assets not next to each other and click the retire icon. [![Capture](/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Capture1-300x130.png)](/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Capture1.png) GP auto creates a group on the fly and opens the Mass Retire window for you to complete the retirement selections. [![Capture2](/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Capture2-300x193.png)](/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Capture2.png) This works for other mass asset options too, like depreciation and transfers. Also, you have all the filter capability of navigation lists to make it easy to pick the right assets. --- ## Field Notes for GP 2013 R2 Copy/Paste to GL - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/field-notes-gp-2013-r2-copypaste-gl/ - Date: 2014-07-03 - Topics: Development & Integration, General Ledger & Financials - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2013 - Type: original article I’m using the new R2 copy/paste functionality in GP to bring in beginning balances for someone so I thought I make a few notes on the new functionality here. - **You don’t have to copy/paste from Excel**. This client doesn’t have Excel on the server and there are restrictions preventing copy/paste from remote machines. I copied data into notepad, saved them as text files, moved them to the server and I’m copying/pasting from there. It works just fine. You can even open a text file in a browser and copy/paste from the browser. - **Pay attention to any reports.** The reports only pop up if there is an error. So far, the error messages have been very clear and helpful. - **You cannot import a line with a zero amount for both debit and credit.** I think this should be an option or there should be an option to just ignore these. It’s tough to clean empty accounts from source files for things like beginning balance imports or recurring imports where you don’t control the source (like a sheet from a vendor). - **You cannot import a negative debit or credit.** In GP if you key a negative debit, it makes the amount a credit and vice versa. Mohammed Daoud’s GL copy/paste tool does that too. The GP tool only uses positives. I’d love to see this a future option. I’ve built and run integrations with Integration Manager, SmartConnect, SQL, Table Import, Excel + Macros, Word + Macros, Excel Paste, and now GP native GL Paste. There is still something magical about pushing a button and watching data appear. I think this functionality is long overdue and it’s going to be used a lot. The limitations are small and easily worked around. If it always seems to take MS 3 tries to get something right, I can’t imagine what this 1.0 product is going to look like in two iterations. --- ## Help us resurrect MDA! - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/featured-post-help-us-resurrect-mda/ - Date: 2014-06-30 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Reporting & BI, Install, Upgrade & Admin - Type: original article --- Featured Post --- A number of MVP’s were helping me out with some Analytical Accounting issues the other day and we all started talking about what a pain AA is.

Something like Multi Dimensional Analysis (MDA). MDA still exists, it’s technically installed with AA, but Microsoft tried to kill it off a few years ago. When users pushed back, MS relented and gave us back MDA, but with a price. MDA was deprecated, no changes, no fixes. Then when Management Reporter came out, it wouldn’t report off of MDA data. That was nearly another death blow, but MDA lives. We think Microsoft should end the toxic experiment that is AA and give us back MDA. At least give us bug fixes and the ability to report off of it via Management Reporter. Make no mistake, this is an uphill fight.

If you export a budget from Dynamics GP 2013 (and presumably earlier versions), Excel is not required on the machine. As a consultant I often end up with remote access only to the SQL Server. If GP is installed, I can still export a budget, save the Excel file, and move it to a different computer to work with it. Exporting Analytical Accounting based budgets does not work the same way. With AA budgets, Excel is REQUIRED (though this isn’t documented or listed in a KB) on the machine performing the export because the AA budget routine opens the budget spreadsheet when done. If Excel is not installed on the machine, GP throws the helpful error: Unhandled object exception: Invalid class string EXCEPTION\_CLASS\_OBJECT\_EXCEPTION ExceptionSubClass:-2147221005 Hopefully, Google and Bing will index this now so that someone else won’t get stuck trying to hunt down this error. --- ## Friday Fun: Booze Mukidney is still too close to home - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/friday-fun-booze-mukidney-still-close-home/ - Date: 2014-04-04 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article And people wonder why I wanted to travel less. --- ## Dynamics GP 2013 – Why Do My Bank Reconciliation Check Book Balance and GL Bank Balance Not Agree? – Etelligent Solutions - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/dynamics-gp-2013-why-do-my-bank-reconciliation-check-book-balance-and-gl-bank-balance-not-agree-etelligent-solutions/ - Date: 2014-03-10 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2013 - Type: original article Judy answers the question Dynamics GP 2013 – Why Do My Bank Reconciliation Check Book Balance and GL Bank Balance Not Agree? --- ## What the Mass Modify Chart of Accounts window lets you change in Dynamics GP - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/what-the-mass-modify-chart-of-accounts-window-lets-you-change-in-dynamics-gp/ - Date: 2014-01-15 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article Sheldon covers What the Mass Modify Chart of Accounts window lets you change in Dynamics GP. --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Fixed Asset GL Posting - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-fixed-asset-gl-posting/ - Date: 2013-12-23 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2013 - Type: original article The GL posting process is much improved with GP 2013.

I asked you to help vote for this and now it’s been added to GP 2013 with SP2. So if department 000 is HQ and you let GP manage account names, account 000-1000 might be HQ-Cash. Now in GP 2013 SP2 if you change HQ to Corp, GP will ask if you want to roll that down. When you agree, the description for account 000-1000 changes to Corp-Cash.

It’s now possible push out partial budgets, bring them each into GP via the Excel upload and then combine them into a single budget. To combine budgets, open a budget in GP and hit the Combine Budgets button. Enter the Master Budget ID in the first box. This is the ID that will be the combined budget. In the second box enter the budget to be rolled into the master. You can also check the box to delete that budget once the combination is completed. That’s a pretty ambition move and I’m not sure that I would suggest it, certainly not for the first time.

In inventory setup you can designate a segment that is tied to an Inventory site. In Item setup you can tie a site to a segment value. In a SOP transaction, the sales account will change based on the site. So if I assign site 100 to the North warehouse, my default SOP account of 000-4000-000 will change to 100-4000-000 when posted. That all works great, but what happens if you use an allocation account for a sales account? That’s where it gets a little interesting. If you use an allocation account as the sales account, the segment won’t change. The allocation account already gets transformed into multiple accounts. It won’t go through a double hop of changing the first segment even if that account exists. For example, site 100 again, account 000-9000-000 is an allocation account. It won’t get transformed into account 100-9000-000 even if that account exists as an allocation account. --- ## The Closer - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/the-closer-2/ - Date: 2013-04-30 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Sales, Purchasing & Inventory, Install, Upgrade & Admin - Type: original article By now you know that I’m a fan of The Closer.

They don’t get used for much, but I’ve got one use case that I think is pretty good. Pick one of the UDF fields and use it to identify the employee responsible for reconciling that account. For cash accounts this is the person responsible for bank rec and reconciling to the GL. For other balance sheet accounts its the person preparing the monthly rollforward. This makes it easy to run a COA based on the user defined field and get a reconciliation checklist for month end.

You can read the whole thing at: http://www.database-answers.com/microsoft/Great-Plains/33761991/proper-way-to-clean-up-received–not-invoiced-report.aspx In my opinion, they are both right and they are both wrong. Let me see if I can clarify. In a nutshell: 1) You authorize purchases with a  P.O. (no effect on GL) 2) You receive items into inventory. Debit Inventory (or Expense as appropriate) Credit Accrued Purchases 3) You match an invoice to a receipt (Debit Accrued Purchases, ~~Credit Inventory~~ Corrected: Accounts Payable). This creates and AP transaction for the invoice. Anything received but waiting for an invoice shows up in the received not invoiced report commonly called RNI. (Step 2 above). Receiving the invoice clears accrued purchases and let’s you pay for the item. Until you match a receipt to an invoice, the receipt is in limbo and the only real tools to manage accrued purchases are the Received Not Invoiced report in GP and the Received Not Invoiced SmartList. So what happens if: 1) an invoice is never going to arrive? or 2) the invoice arrives and is mistakenly paid directly via AP, not applied to the receiving transaction? There are 2 broad ways to clear a receiving transactions and a number of techniques and gotchas along the way. Regardless of the way you close the transaction there are 3 considerations, 1) the RNI report. 2) the Accrued Purchases account. 3) AP If you don’t do this right, one of the first two items will be out causing accrued purchases to not balance to the GL or AP will get a transaction causing a risk of double payment. Broadly the options fall into two categories: 1) Close the P.O. 2) Fake an invoice. Closing the P.O. or the appropriate P.O. lines properly removes items from the RNI report and while it can generate a related GL transaction, it doesn’t in the typical scenario. Faking a invoice properly removes items from RNI and accrued purchases but it creates an AP transaction which requires additional work to clear and introduces a risk of double payment. So here is my recommendation based on the common scenarios: 1) Item received. Invoice will never arrive (usually some kind of internal transaction). Do an invoice match transaction. Enter the subtotal into the trade discount field to offset the subtotal and create a $0 value invoice. Adjust the trade discount account for appropriate offset (often an intercompany account). This will NOT send a transaction to AP and it will clear the transaction from the RNI report and move accrued purchases. You will need to confirm that the other side of any I/C transaction is correct. 2) Item received. Invoiced arrived and posted to Inventory or Expense via AP. (This is probably the most common scenario I see.) You’ve now doubled up the debits. (Receiving and AP). Do an invoice match transaction. Enter the subtotal into the trade discount field to offset the subtotal and create a $0 value invoice. Adjust the trade discount account credit to the Inventory or Expense account that was doubled up. This will NOT send a transaction to AP and it will clear the transaction from the RNI report and properly clear the accrued purchase. 3) Item received. Invoiced arrived and posted to Accrued Purchases via AP (This what you hope will happen but if AP figured out it belongs in Accrued Purchases they should have figured out that it needs an invoice match!) The GL is correct. Close the P.O. or P.O. line to properly adjust the RNI report. Closing the P.O. line should not create a GL transaction. These are my preferred options. They avoid the mess. If Trade Discount isn’t available because you actually use that field AND track the discount for reporting purposes it gets harder. Your choices then are to match the invoice, send it to AP and create a credit memo. You could also close the P.O. or P.O. lines and then do a journal entry to fix the accrued purchases account but normally you don’t want to do JE’s to this account, it’s considered a control account and it’s still two transactions. I’ve been arguing for a Historical Received Not Invoiced report to help manage this. If you want one too. please go vote for it at MS Connect.

When I first heard that this was coming, I was expecting something like the Historical Inventory Trial Balance report but the team went farther than that. Historical fixed asset reporting is now integrated into Dynamic GP 2013. Almost all of the reports now have a date associated with them.

The scenario is a company wants users to have the ability to enter journal entries but only allow certain users to post to the GL. One answer is to prevent transaction and series posting and require batch approval with a password. This works but requiring an approval requires approval for ALL GL posting including posting from subledgers. Another way is to control posting through security. Security to posting is controlled via the “Series Posting Permission” type in Security Tasks. By default GL Posting is included in the TRX\_FIN\_003\* and ADMIN\_COMPANY\_11\* tasks. Yeah, you didn’t see the ADMIN\_COMPANY\_11\* task coming did you? It also includes batch recovery so more users may have this than you think. [![](/img/blogger/0ee64405f297f03f.png)](/img/blogger/2ed16b9efab5421a.png) This why I recommend that you don’t rely on the default tasks and roles. You really need to know what in there.

In most cases this is significantly faster than the base tool. How much faster? I have an example from a client. It’s not a perfect benchmark but but in their admittedly slow test environment, it took 24 hours to run the base reconcile and 5 hours to run the PSTL based reconcile. The PSTL reconcile has more volatility in how long it runs because it depends on how many items need to be reconciled.

The simplest way to accomplish a full or partial Fixed Asset impairment is do a full or partial retirement of the asset in GP and create a retirement code to identify impairments. Since GP supports partial retirement by cost or % this will work for assets that contain multiple quantities in GP. For example, a $100,000 assets is impaired and is now only worth $60,000. The company can partially retire 40% of the asset (or specifically retire $40,000) and take a loss. The nice thing about this is that it’s easy to un-retire an asset. While Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) won’t allow you to un-impair an asset, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) will. As the world moves toward IFRS, the ability to un-retire an asset and recapture the impairment becomes more important. It’s also nice if you goof when retiring the asset. For reporting purposes, using an impairment retirement code makes it easy to separate out impairment transactions from true retirements.

Instead of selecting appropriate receipts and processing a deposit, they selected receipts that don’t match the way the physical deposit was made. Now you have a mess trying to balance the bank account. Having to add multiple items to match a single number commonly comes up in Bank Rec. (I don’t just mean GP bank rec either. I’ve seen cases where you have to combine items differently for bank recs by hand, with Quickbooks, Peachtree and Oracle financials. It’s a bank rec thing.) Excel can be a big help when trying to combine transactions to match so we’re going to work through an example. One caveat, this method finds one match. It may not be the only combination that can match. You’ll need the Solver add in that comes with Excel. Use File-Options-Add Ins to see if it’s turned on and activate it if it’s not. 1. Key amounts into Excel that look like this: [![](/img/blogger/c3831b60f198399b.png)](/img/blogger/c3831b60f198399b.png) The Amounts column contains the amounts that you will ultimately use to try to find a match. Indicator is just the number 1 all the way down. We use it in the calculation. 2. In cell C1 type **SumProduct(A2:A7,B2:B7)**. This will show the sum of A x B. 3. In cell D1 type **27.62**. This is the amount we are trying to combine items to find. It’s here just for reference. [![](/img/blogger/966ebca924759af0.png)](/img/blogger/966ebca924759af0.png) Excel is going to add up the items in multiple combinations until it finds a combination that matches 27.62. 4. Click the Solver icon 5. In Set Objective enter or select **$C$2** 6. Check Value Of and enter the amount you want to find – **27.62** **7.** Set By Changing Value of Cells to **$B$2:$B$7** 8. Click Add. Set Cell Reference equal to  **$B$2:$B$7** and the middle field to **bin.** 9. Click **OK**. Click **Solve**. [![](/img/blogger/7c3a8691b9e1cfc1.png)](/img/blogger/41d6830de9c1fbf1.png) Excel changes the 1’s to 0’s except for the lines that add up to $27.62. [![](/img/blogger/3500dae61b59d43e.png)](/img/blogger/3500dae61b59d43e.png) To reset to search for another number, change column B back to all 1’s, click the Solver icon and change the amount. Many times when working through a bank statement there is a pattern. Items are off by a day for example. These are pretty easy to find by hand. Sometimes it’s a lot harder an you a tool like this. --- ## Feature of the Day: Multicurrency Apply in RM Cash Receipts Entry – Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP – Site Home – MSDN Blogs - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/feature-of-the-day-multicurrency-apply-in-rm-cash-receipts-entry-inside-microsoft-dynamics-gp-site-home-msdn-blogs/ - Date: 2012-08-16 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Payables & Receivables, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article New from Microsoft: Feature of the Day: Multicurrency Apply in RM Cash Receipts Entry --- ## Feature of the Day: Reconciled Indicator – Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP – Site Home – MSDN Blogs - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/feature-of-the-day-reconciled-indicator-inside-microsoft-dynamics-gp-site-home-msdn-blogs/ - Date: 2012-08-13 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features, Microsoft & the GP Ecosystem - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2013 - Type: original article Microsoft is adding a Reconciled Indicator   to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013’s Void Historical Payments.

You don’t have to like these suggestions. If you don’t like them, don’t vote. However, If you do like a suggestion and you don’t vote, you lose your right to complain about that issue. The goal is to get you thinking, and voting, about what you want in Dynamics GP in the future. This week’s suggestion revolves around the chart of accounts. If you use segment descriptions and allow them to populate the chart descriptions you can get a really clean chart of accounts. But what happens if something changes? For example, you thought that a main segment description of “Receivables, Accounts” was a good idea until you realized that now no one can ever find the account by description. Users are disgruntled, the natives have pitchforks in their cubes. Today you have to go to each account and fix it or use SQL to clean things up. [It would be pretty cool if you could change the segment description and have it roll down to the chart.](https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=http%3A%2F%2Fconnect.microsoft.com&wctx=rm%3D0%26id%3Dpassive%26ru%3D%252Fdynamicssuggestions%252Ffeedback%252Fdetails%252F708918%252Fgp-lets-you-roll-down-changes-to-the-account-segment-descripTion&wct=2016-04-19T07%3A15%3A18Z&wp=urn%3Aliveid%3AMBI_FED_SSL_URI&wreply=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.microsoft.com%2Fdashboard%2F) [![](/img/blogger/fc1ab2f1e13f3ba2.jpg)](https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=http%3A%2F%2Fconnect.microsoft.com&wctx=rm%3D0%26id%3Dpassive%26ru%3D%252Fdynamicssuggestions%252Ffeedback%252Fdetails%252F708918%252Fgp-lets-you-roll-down-changes-to-the-account-segment-descripTion&wct=2016-04-19T07%3A15%3A18Z&wp=urn%3Aliveid%3AMBI_FED_SSL_URI&wreply=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.microsoft.com%2Fdashboard%2F) --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Tracing Purchase Price Variance - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-tracing-purchase-price-variance/ - Date: 2012-07-23 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials, Reporting & BI - Type: original article Purchase Pice Variances can occur when the purchase invoice cost is different from the cost recognized on the receipt (usually the same as the P.O.). GP properly adjusts for these cost difference but they can be a real bear to trace. When you find the GL side of one of these transactions they don’t link back to the source except with a reference. You have to go to SmartLists or the tables to figure out that they started in Inventory. However, there is a Dex.ini switch that can make this easier. Adding: REVALJEINDETAIL=TRUE to the Dex.ini file populates the ORCTRNUM, ORMSTRID, ORMSTRNM and ORDOCNUM fields in the GL10001 (GL Transaction Amounts Work) and GL20000 (GL Year-to-Date Transaction Open) tables making it much easier to trace these transactions back in SmartLists. There is also a set of downloadable reports that improve on the default posting reports. However, neither the default reports nor the downloadable reports can be reprinted so if you want that detail you’ll have to print or save the posting reports. More on this next week. --- ## Should You Post in Summary or Detail Within Dynamics GP? - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/should-you-post-in-summary-or-detail-within-dynamics-gp/ - Date: 2012-07-09 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article Sheldon from Etelligent asks Should You Post in Summary or Detail Within Dynamics GP? I have some strong thoughts on this. Posting in summary makes matching the subledger to the GL incredibly cumbersome if you get out of balance.

For example, if an asset has been going to a wrong account or if you decide to reorganize fixed assets and change accounts a fixed asset transfer can be used to move the GL accounts. To transfer GL accounts for Fixed Assets in GP open the Financial Area Page. Under Fixed Assets pick Transfer. Select an asset and transfer date. Click the blue arrow next to G/L Accounts.

Daoud: Dynamics GP Journal Entry: Paste From Excel–Free Add-in - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/mohammad-r-daoud-dynamics-gp-journal-entry-paste-from-excel-free-add-in/ - Date: 2012-06-18 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Excel & Office - Type: original article Ask and you shall receive. My post encouraging you to vote for the ability to Copy and Paste from Excel to the GP GL found its way to Ian Grieve of azurecurve and the Dynamics Community site. Mohammad Daoud found it there. Then he and his team decided to build the functionality. Mohammad gives us a look at[Dynamics GP Journal Entry: Paste From Excel–Free Add-in](http://mohdaoud.blogspot.com/2012/06/dynamics-gp-journal-entry-paste-from.html). I got a copy over the weekend to play with and it rocked. Mohammad tweaked a few things for me but this is dead simple to use. Simply copy four columns from Excel and paste into GP using the Additional menu or CTRL+F. In very limited testing: - Pasting respects negatives just like GP does. So a negative Debit in the Excel sheet gets pasted as a Credit and vice versa. This means that if all you have is one amount column with negatives and positives everything still works. You still need 4 columns but Credit and Dist. Ref. could be blank. - Pasting respects the “Allow Account Entry” setting and won’t let you do a JE to an account with “Allow Account Entry” off. Pasting fails for the restricted line and any remaining lines are not pasted.. - The format is simply Account, Debit, Credit, Distribution Reference. The video shows headers of Credit then Debit. The headers are irrelevant. The transactions are copied and pasted without headers. The data goes in using the order on the GP window. - Install is scary easy. Copy two files into the Add Ins folder. - Scale seems to be fine. Speed is closer to Integration Manager. 1,000 lines took about 40 seconds. Your mileage may vary but that’s roughly 25 lines per second or 1,500 lines per minute. Not SQL import speed but no too shabby and there’s essentially no setup.. - Closing the window and agreeing to delete the transaction seems to kill a long running paste. - What this utility does is let you paste into the grid (detail area). You still have full control over the header for batch, date, reversing, reference, etc. Batch approval still applies, etc. - No intercompany yet that I can see (I didn’t really test this) but this is a first pass. I’m not sure it’s even a first release. - You can do partial pasting (you don’t have to grab a complete range), Paste an unbalanced JE (the trx won’t post of course) and paste more than one time into a single transaction. (Paste a range, copy a new range, paste that at the end of the same JE). - Pasting also respects blank rows. You can copy beyond the end of a JE and include blank rows. The blanks don’t come in to the JE. - The range you copy can include blank rows in the middle. Pasting works, although there was an odd visual problem. The last rows didn’t seem to be correct but when I scrolled up and down they fixed themselves. It’s as if the data was correct but the interface didn’t refresh. This is so minor that I’m only mentioning it because it made me double check my test. This tool is absolutely worth testing. Send Mohammad an email and ask for a copy. --- ## Dynamic Future-Vote – Reprint Outstanding Checks report from Bank Reconciliation - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/dynamic-future-vote-reprint-outstanding-checks-report-from-bank-reconciliation/ - Date: 2012-05-15 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Reporting & BI, Payables & Receivables - Type: original article One of the few reports in Dynamics GP that cannot be reprinted is the always required Outstanding Checks report from Bank Rec. This week’s enhancement that you can vote for is adding the ability to: [**Reprint Outstanding Checks report from Bank Reconciliation**](https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=http%3A%2F%2Fconnect.microsoft.com&wctx=rm%3D0%26id%3Dpassive%26ru%3D%252Fdynamicssuggestions%252Ffeedback%252Fdetails%252F733922%252Freprint-outstanding-checks-report-from-bank-reconciliation&wct=2016-04-19T01%3A14%3A23Z&wp=urn%3Aliveid%3AMBI_FED_SSL_URI&wreply=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.microsoft.com%2Fdashboard%2F) From KB 973083: “The Outstanding Transactions Report **cannot be reprinted**. The information from this report is contained in the CM Unreconciled TEMP table before the reconciliation process is complete. When the process is complete, this table is cleared. **The only way to reprint this report is to restore a backup that was created before the reconciliation process was performed**, select the checks, and then rerun the reconciliation.”  [emphasis added] That is simply an unacceptable answer for a report that is required by auditors and is a key control piece. Asking people to restore from backup would also typically require redoing the bank reconciliation. The Reconcile process should move CM Unreconciled TEMP data to a history table for reporting. Today, none of the workarounds are really acceptable but some mitigation steps include: 1) Always print the edit reports prior to reconciling. An edit report doesn’t provide the same level of support as a the reconciliation report but it’s better than nothing. 2) Always print these reports to screen and file. That way a printer jam won’t make you lose the report. 3) If you realize the report didn’t print out at the time you finish the recon, the outstanding report is still the same. Do a one day recon and use the edit report or add and check offsetting dummy items ($1 & $-1 for example) and use the recon report. You’ll have to explain to your auditors but at least you have backup and a reasonable plan. 4) Again, if you realize the report didn’t print at the time of reconciliation you may be able to rebuilt the report using a SmartList if you do it right away. Restoring from backup isn’t even an option on my list. I had the recon not print at client with 200 users running about 18 hours a day due to time zone differences.

May you want your FA numbers to all be 5 digits and someone keys the asset with 4 digits. Well the Fixed Asset Modifier, part of the now free Professional Service Tools, will let you rename an asset with minimal fuss. It’s about a straightforward as you can get, enter or lookup the old number, key in the new number. The system retains the suffix which could be a challenge if you’re trying to cluster multiple assets based on an asset ID but it’s better than nothing. --- ## Weekly Review: Identifying Intercompany Transactions - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-review-identifying-intercompany-transactions/ - Date: 2012-04-12 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article In Dynamics GP Inquiries and Reports, an asterisk (\*) on the end of a transaction number indicates a voided transaction.

When you open the budget maintenance window, you have the ability to modify one account at a time, however the method button brings up the ability to do a mass modify on all accounts in the budget. If you hit Calculate and do not understand the implication, you may corrupt your entire budget.  Not so bad with an increase or decrease, that you can reverse, but pray you didn’t use Set Amount, or start looking for your backups. FYI Budget ID table is GL00200, Budget Details table is GL00201 for fast dumps of your data. The Safe way to modify a single account using the calculation method is on the Single Account Budget Maintenance screen, which can be found linked to the account maintenance screen.

Starting in January I’m moving out of direct consulting with Dynamics GP. My new challenge is to help build a Corporate Performance Management (CPM) practice at [I.B.I.S.](http://www.ibis.com/gb/northamerica/index.shtml) CPM generally involves financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting and planning. There is some overlap with Business Intelligence on the financial side but generally not operationally. We are looking to deliver CPM cross product so I’ll get to do some work with AX and CRM as well as with GP. This is an area where I have some significant experience. In addition to typical budget work, some of you know that a good chunk of the time that I spent as a CFO was directly involved with trying to sell our division. It’s really hard to imagine how many budget and forecast scenarios you can come up with in 8 months when the options include explosive expansion and severe contraction. I’ve also been involved in the CPM software selection process several times with a mix of products. Right now Microsoft’s CPM strategy is less than complete, especially for larger enterprises. We like what [deFacto](http://www.defactoglobal.com/) is delivering in terms of CPM,and we like the way they partner. Expect to hear more about that as time goes on. So what does this mean for the blog? Probably not much. I know that I tend to write about what I’m thinking about, it just doesn’t always get published when I’m thinking about it. Sometimes there are delays to protect everyone. You can probably expect to see a few more original pieces on CPM. I’m already deep into a brand new 50 Tips presentation so that will get done in 2012 and speaking is set for Convergence in Houston. I’ve also got a pile of GP related projects in the hopper for the next 3 months. It’s going to be a challenge to get everything done but frankly, I need a new challenge and I’m looking forward to this one. --- ## Importing GP Account Segment Descriptions - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/importing-gp-account-segment-descriptions/ - Date: 2011-12-27 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Development & Integration - Type: original article Sheldon from Etelligent Solutions looks at Importing GP Account Segment Descriptions. --- ## Microsoft Dynamics GP Year End Release 2011 – General Ledger Year End Close – Dynamics GP Support and Services Blog - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/microsoft-dynamics-gp-year-end-release-2011-general-ledger-year-end-close-dynamics-gp-support-and-services-blog/ - Date: 2011-12-14 - Topics: Year-End & 1099, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article Wrapping up their year end process posts, the GP team shares Microsoft Dynamics GP Year End Release 2011 – General Ledger Year End Close --- ## Dynamics GP Year End Close Resources – Etelligent Solutions - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/dynamics-gp-year-end-close-resources-etelligent-solutions/ - Date: 2011-12-13 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Year-End & 1099 - Type: original article Sheldon from Etelligent Solutions has collected a number of great resources on Year End Close for Dynamics GP.

On an Inventory Transaction batch there is checkbox labeled “Post to General Ledger”. If you’ll remember in Posting Setup (Setup | Posting | Posting) you can set transactions to post “To” the GL or “Through” the GL. Generally posting “To” the GL means post to the subledger but stop the transaction at the GL and require separate GL posting. Well someone was setting up inventory and posting beginning balances. When they got to this screen they interpreted it literally. They thought that by ensuring that this box was checked that the transaction would post “To” the GL and that they would have the chance to delete the GL transaction before posting. Unfortunately that’s not how it works. This checkbox is a hold over. It’s another speed bump allowing the user to prevent sending the transaction into the GL posting process. If this box is checked, the GP posting settings kick in. In a nutshell, to post the Inventory subledger WITHOUT sending the transaction to the GL, you need to UNCHECK this box. d d d --- ## Microsoft Dynamics GP Payroll Year End Release 2011 – Receivables Management Year End Close - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/microsoft-dynamics-gp-payroll-year-end-release-2011-receivables-management-year-end-close/ - Date: 2011-11-28 - Topics: Year-End & 1099, General Ledger & Financials, Payables & Receivables - Type: original article While I was eating Turkey, Microsoft was putting out information about Microsoft Dynamics GP Payroll Year End Release 2011 – Receivables Management Year End Close --- ## Posting Interruptions in Accounts Payable – Check Runs | Interesting Findings & Knowledge Sharing - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/posting-interruptions-in-accounts-payable-check-runs-interesting-findings-knowledge-sharing/ - Date: 2011-11-28 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Payables & Receivables - Type: original article Sivakumar looks at Posting Interruptions in Accounts Payable – Check Runs --- ## Microsoft Dynamics GP Year End Release 2011 – Inventory Control Year End Close – Dynamics GP Support and Services Blog - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/microsoft-dynamics-gp-year-end-release-2011-inventory-control-year-end-close-dynamics-gp-support-and-services-blog/ - Date: 2011-11-22 - Topics: Year-End & 1099, General Ledger & Financials, Sales, Purchasing & Inventory - Type: original article The Dynamics GP Support and Services blog delivers a look at Microsoft Dynamics GP Year End Release 2011 – Inventory Control Year End Close --- ## Yes Virginia, you CAN post to a closed fiscal period! » Summit Group Software Blog - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/yes-virginia-you-can-post-to-a-closed-fiscal-period-summit-group-software-blog/ - Date: 2011-11-01 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Microsoft & the GP Ecosystem - Type: original article Gina Hoener has a though provoking post at The Summit Group’s blog. Her post, Yes Virginia, you CAN post to a closed fiscal period!, complains that when posting manual payments, a client posted a transaction with the subledger transaction date in a closed period but since the GL period was open the transaction posted. I replicated Gina’s event and what’s happening is that the posting date is properly coming from the batch based on system settings. The batch posting date was for a future period that was open for both the subledger and GL so this transaction properly posted. The key is that the posting date in the subledger and in the GL are both in the open period. Even if when posting outside of a batch, the transaction date is not necessarily the posting date. For transactional posting, the posting date comes from the posting date behind the expansion button on the transaction date. They may default to the same date but they don’t have to be the same. For proper balancing you have compare posting date in the subledger to posting date in the GL NOT transaction date. We understand this intuitively in Payables. An invoice that is six month old suddenly shows up in the mail. We date the invoice six months ago for proper aging but it posts to the current period. --- ## You cannot open Microsoft Dynamics GP now because another user is entering Multicurrency access information. – Blog – andy.nifong - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/you-cannot-open-microsoft-dynamics-gp-now-because-another-user-is-entering-multicurrency-access-information-blog-andy-nifong/ - Date: 2011-10-31 - Topics: Install, Upgrade & Admin, General Ledger & Financials, Microsoft & the GP Ecosystem - Type: original article Andy Nifong addresses the error You cannot open Microsoft Dynamics GP now because another user is entering Multicurrency access information in Dynamics GP. --- ## Payroll Detail Posting – a new feature in GP 2010 | onza solutions » blog - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/payroll-detail-posting-a-new-feature-in-gp-2010-onza-solutions-blog/ - Date: 2011-10-31 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Payroll & HR, Tips & Hidden Features - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2010 - Type: original article Amanda Wong has information on Payroll Detail Posting – a new feature in GP 2010.

That happens a lot but I don’t always highlight my ignorance. From time to time, clients need to make wash entries where the debit and credit hit the same account for the same amount to only update a subledger. We had a client that has a regular cash receipts process that does this to accommodate integrations from other systems. Dynamics GP is setup to create one Journal Entry per Transaction and the system actually posts the debit and the credit to the GL for these cash receipts. Suddenly, at month end, this changed. The debit and credit transaction didn’t post to the GL even though the subledger was fine. You and I both know that the end result is the same but why the change? We determined that at some point recently, while trying to resolve an issue, the posting setting had been changed to create one journal entry per Batch. In this high volume environment this could make tracing transactions cumbersome for the average user. They are a very GL centric organization. In addition, this actually changed the way that wash transactions behave. They were no longer posting to the GL. After a short meeting, the decision was made to change the setting back. I don’t recall ever seeing this as one of the effects of changing this setting so now you know. --- ## Editing Lot Number Attributes After Posting | Interesting Findings & Knowledge Sharing - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/editing-lot-number-attributes-after-posting-interesting-findings-knowledge-sharing/ - Date: 2011-08-02 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Sales, Purchasing & Inventory - Type: original article Sivakumar takes a look at Editing Lot Number Attributes After Posting up now at Interesting Findings & Knowledge Sharing --- ## Weekly Review: Why Setting Everything to “Post Through” Doesn’t Seem to Work - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-review-why-setting-everything-to-post-through-doesnt-seem-to-work/ - Date: 2011-06-30 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article When an administrator sets up posting in Dynamics GP they get to choose whether to post to and/or through the GL. Posting To controls whether a transaction is even sent to the GL. Selecting the Posting To option means that a subledger posting updates the subledger and also sends an unposted transaction to the GL that then needs to be posted again to update the GL. Adding posting through means that the GL portion of the transaction posts to the GL automatically as well. The fun really starts when a firm decides that they want everything to post to and through the GL. The way to set this is via the Dynamics GP menu then Tools->Setup->Posting->Posting, Select a Series (like financial), set Origin to ALL and check both the Post to General Ledger and Post Through General Ledger checkboxes. Click save to make the change stick and then repeat this for each series. That’s easy enough until you return to the window and see that when you select all, the Post Through button is no longer checked. Most responses to this start with “What the…”. Here is what’s going on. In the past, some modules didn’t allow posting through the GL. Setting the origin to ALL would update only the transaction types that would allow posting through. Consequently, the box wasn’t checked since all of the items weren’t really set to post through. Now however, all the transaction types allow posting through the GL. The fact that the box isn’t checked when users select an origin of ALL is just an annoying leftover. To really check if posting through is set, select an origin of ALL and with the lookup window still open, use the arrow key to arrow down through the various origin types. Each time you select an origin, the window will refresh to show the appropriate settings in the background.

One of the benefits of batch posting is the ability to control the posting date via the batch posting date. This works for most batch types except GL. The ability to change the posting date is important. For example, If an invoice arrives several months late, the invoice should typically be posted in the GL for the current month, even though the invoice date is in the past. This can still be accomplished with transactional posting, the process just isn’t obvious. In any of the transaction, click the blue arrow next to the date field. In our AP invoice example from above, this would be the **Doc. Date** field. The arrow next to a date field typically opens a window with additional date fields allowing a user to fine tune dates including setting a different posting date. The posting date in this window controls the posting date of a transaction not placed in a batch. Unless this date is explicitly changed, it defaults to the document date on the main transaction window. Batch posting allows you to set this posting date once for the batch. If using transactional posting, the date will need to be set on each transaction.

This is set in Tools->Setup->Posting->Posting and can be controlled differently for different transaction types. The vast majority of consultants I know (including me) recommend posting by batch, but it’s not always clear to user why so here are my reasons. - Batches allow users to save and review transactions prior to posting. - Batches allow printing edit lists to identify errors prior to posting. - Batches can require approval and/or verification. - Batch posting provides better control over the posting date. For transactions, this defaults to the transaction date. It can often be changed with the arrow on the date field but few users figure that out. - Some transactions like Inventory Adjustments require batch posting to really work right. - Batches can provide another reference or grouping point for searching or reporting. - Batches recover better from errors via Batch Recovery than directly posted transactions. This is a personal observation and I don’t care what anyone says. I’ve more hard to fix errors resulting from transaction posting than from batch posting. Something will go wrong so you might as well have the best chance at recovery. This leaves the average users with two simple options. Ignore all the advice and experience of a bunch of GP consultants and pay us ton of money to fix it when something goes wrong or use batch posting. I’m not worried, plenty of folks will choose option 1.

Typically a Fixed Allocation account takes an amount posted to that account and passes it to multiple other accounts based on the setup percentages. Recently I ran into a situation where we wanted to do the opposite. In Project Accounting you can force transactions to change various segments to match the segment values assigned to the project using the subnet mask functionality. For example, a department segment is changed on posting to match the department assigned to the project. It works great until you run into a particular cost category that you DON’T want to change based on the project. You can’t control subnet masks by cost category, an account type either gets a mask or it doesn’t. In our case, for certain allocation transactions to a particular cost category, we wanted them all to hit the same department but Project Accounting was transforming the department segment causing us problems. The solution was to create a Fixed Allocation account for each department. The allocation accounts all pointed to the same real GL account with a 100% allocation. In other words, instead of using an allocation account to spread costs to multiple departments, we used multiple allocation accounts to rollup costs to a single department. This kept the GL clean and avoided polluting the chart with a whole bunch of accounts since allocation accounts are pass through accounts that don’t show up on financial statements. I love finding new uses for old features!

There is no native functionality to do this and based on my conversations with the Dynamics GP team, it’s not going to happen so you might as well understand the workaround and it looks like this: 1) Create a Miscellaneous Log Cost Category for Fixed Assets pointing the Contra Account to the FA Clearing account and the Cost/Expense account to wherever you are collecting the project costs (a WIP account, a project FA WIP account, etc.). You’ll be doing a negative misc log so the cost collection location will be credited and contra (FA Clearing) will be debited. ##### 2) Once the project is ready to become a Fixed Asset, process a negative Misc Log transaction using the Fixed Asset Cost Category to remove an amount equal to the total cost of the project. ##### a. This setup makes it easy to exclude the FA Cost Category when analyzing project costs while still leaving the project at zero ##### b. This process provides a transactional audit trail to show that the project was closed out and moved to Fixed Assets ##### 3) Create a Fixed Asset. The GL Transfer mechanism will move the costs from the FA clearing account to the appropriate Fixed Asset account. The reality is that the number of fields that would actually transfer from a project is really small, single digits small. The complexities of creating a Fixed Asset from a project become large very fast. For instance, how do you deal with multiple assets from a single project, complete assets but incomplete projects, partial capitalization of a project, combining Cost Categories for capitalization, etc. The benefits of creating something to manage this are far outweighed by pain of dealing with all of the possible scenarios. Realistically, this is best handled through a process like the one described here.

As an example, if your company adds a new cost category that needs to be applied to a large number of projects you can do that quickly, in a few minutes. The process is under Tools-Routines-Project-Update Budget Lines. Pick a Cost Category ID to be added to projects, optionally add a default status for the new line and a default quantity for the new line. Next select the appropriate projects on the left and insert them on the right with the center button. You can even update project templates so that new projects get that cost category as well. Simply check the Update Templates box and insert templates from left to right as well. Click process and you’re done. There’s no report that prints but you do get an update message when the process is complete. This new feature makes it simple to update cost categories to a large number of projects and it’s about as easy as it can be.

Many companies submit an ACH file to their bank to pay vendors. The bank will often process the transaction as a lump sum debited from the bank account rather than as individual transactions. This makes reconciling difficult because you need the ACH batch info to match back to the individual transactions that were sent to the Bank Reconciliation module but the bank statement will only show one amount Well, here is a fix. Use the ACH file that you sent to the bank as your source file for the Electronic Reconcile module. Let Electronic Reconcile check off the ACH transactions for you. This also provides a better level of consistency for your auditors. If you are on the Advanced Management tier of Business Ready Licensing you already own Electronic Reconcile to go along with EFT for Payables so there is nothing else to buy to make this happen.

We all know that this creates an unposted batch in GL. What if someone deletes that batch by mistake? Think about the thousands of depreciation line entries that could be in that file, now they’re gone. Not so fast. After a related incident at a client, Microsoft sent a us script to allow recreation of the GL batch. With their permission I’m reposting it here. Just to be clear, if you don’t run separate GL posting routines for additions, retirements and depreciation, this won’t let you undo that. You’ll still get one big file to sift through. But, if you run the GL routine to process additions and while you’re working on retirements someone whacks the unposted additions batch, you’re not stuck. Delete  batch prior to posting then run this script. Afterward, rerun the GL Posting routine. /\* \*\* Procedure Name:  FA\_Undo\_GLBatch\_Interface \*\* \*\* Description: \*\* \*\*    Resets the Batch ID to ” (blank) for the selected Batch ID in \*\*    the Financial Detail File (FA00902) so that the GL Interface can be run again \*\*    to pick up those details. \*\* \*\*    \*\*WARNING: This does not change any GL tables \*\* \*\* Special Instructions: \*\* \*\*    set @BatchName = ‘XXX’ –XXX must be replaced with the Batch Name to be affected \*\*    \*\* Database:    Company \*\* \*\* \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* \*/ declare @BatchName char(15) set @BatchName = ‘XXX’ UPDATE FA00902     SET GLINTBTCHNUM = ”, GLINTTRXDATE = ‘1900-01-01 00:00:00.000’     WHERE GLINTBTCHNUM = @BatchName DELETE FA15000     WHERE GLINTBTCHNUM = @BatchName DELETE FAINDEX On  a related note, we had a client going live with Fixed Assets. One of their people was supposed to run the GL Posting interface through 12/31 and then delete batch prior to posting. This would take care of all of the integrated assets which were already in GL. They didn’t. When the first depreciation was run in January we got all the FA additions plus all of the fist month’s depreciation. This script bailed us out. We deleted the batch and reran the posting routine through 12/31. This created a batch of additions which we deleted. We then ran the GL process through 1/31 and got a batch with just January depreciation. --- ## SQL View to extract Analytical Accounting Budget Data With Accounts in Dynamics GP - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/sql-view-to-extract-analytical-accounting-budget-data-with-accounts-in-dynamics-gp/ - Date: 2011-01-17 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, SQL & Data - Type: original article Mohammad Daoud is back with a SQL View to extract Analytical Accounting Budget Data With Accounts in Dynamics GP --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Fixed Asset Impairment - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-fixed-asset-impairment/ - Date: 2011-01-10 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article There is no Fixed Asset Impairment feature in Dynamics GP per se but that doesn’t mean that I can’t be done. The simplest way to accomplish a full or partial Fixed Asset impairment is do a full or partial retirement of the asset in GP and create a retirement code to identify impairments. Since GP supports partial retirement by cost or % this will work for assets that contain multiple quantities in GP. For example, a $100,000 assets is impaired and is now only worth $60,000. The company can partially retire 40% of the asset (or specifically retire $40,000) and take a loss. The nice thing about this is that it’s easy to un-retire an asset. While Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) won’t allow you to un-impair an asset, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) will. As the world moves toward IFRS, the ability to un-retire an asset and recapture the impairment becomes more important. It’s also nice if you goof when retiring the asset. For reporting purposes, using an impairment retirement code makes it easy to separate out impairment transactions from true retirements. --- ## Update on Payroll FICA Related Changes and Issues - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/update-on-payroll-fica-related-changes-and-issues/ - Date: 2011-01-04 - Topics: Payroll & HR, General Ledger & Financials - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2010, GP 10, GP 9 - Type: original article ***Over the holidays*** [***I posted about payroll issues due to new tax changes***](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2010/12/fica-ss-withholding-information-for.html)***, but it’s easy to miss things what with all the parties and presents.*** ***Mike Lupro feels that this isn’t getting enough attention and asked me to pass along more information to make sure that you are up to speed. From Mike:*** The delayed passage of the 2011 tax relief bill in congress left zero time for software companies to develop the code needed to elegantly handle the change in employee vs. employer FICA and Medicare taxes. The EOY Microsoft Dynamics GP payroll tax update lowers the FICA/Medicare totals for employees to 4.2% as prescribed by congress. However, the employer tax rate is also calculated at 4.2% even though employers still owe 6.2%. Here is the text of a recent posting on a Microsoft Forum: **Wednesday, December 22, 2010 2:23 AM** At this point, they are still working on how this will be updated in the system; however, the latest information I have received was that the tax tables will be adjusted to the 4.2% and you will need to make adjustments in the GL. You are correct on PIP as well, as the incorrect amount would be brought over, I have not heard of any plans to create a report for journal entry adjustments, but I will definitely look into this. · **Wednesday, December 29, 2010 2:34 PM** There are no current plans to create an adjustments report for the FICA amounts on the employer side that need to be adjusted. At this time, the GL adjustments will need to be made until the Round 2 tax code update in January where this will be addressed to correct the employer FICA going forward. This round 2 code update will be released for SBF 9.0, GP 9.0, GP 10.0, and GP 2010. **The following is information provided Onza/BestTechsNW payroll clients:** In light of the above information we thought the following math examples will give employers a working structure in how to calculate and expense the correct deposit amount for FICA taxes until Dynamics’ Round 2 tax update is available: **Step 1: Calculate the correct Tax Deposit Amount before remitting to EFTPS:** Fed W/H Tax + Employee FICA/MED Tax + (Employee FICA/MED Tax / 4.2 x 6.2) = Total deposit amount. Example: PR Report shows FWT of 14,000 and employee FICA/MED Liability of $10,000 But the employer owes more than the $34,000. Here’s how to calculate the total amount due: Calculated PR EFTPS deposit amount = FWT $14,000.00 + Employee FICA/Med $10,000.00 + Employer FICA/Med (10,000 / 3.4 x 6.2) = $14,761.90 = Total deposit = $38,761.90 **Step 2: Microsoft Dynamics GP will auto-post the (incorrect) 4.2% employer portion for FICA/Med tax** Payroll Process: Credit PR Tax Liability $34,000 Debit PR Tax Expense – Dept 1 $20,000 Debit PR Tax Expense – Dept 2 $14,000 Note: If you’re using PIP (Payables Interface to Payables) the automated voucher amount for the IRS vendor will be $34,000. **Step 3: Remit the correct tax amount to the IRS via EFTPS or through your bank** The payroll liability account now looks like this: Credit from Payroll $34,000 Debit from EFTPS 38,761.90 = Debit Balance in Liability after EFTPS payment $4,761.90 **Step 4: Calculate and post (a GL Transaction) for the departmental expense from the ‘extra’ tax** | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Dept Amt | Total Amt | Percent by Dept | Extra tax amt | Dept Exp Amt | | 20000 | 34000 | 0.588235294 | 4761.9 | $ 2,801.12 | | 14000 | 34000 | 0.411764706 | 4761.9 | $ 1,960.78 | GL Adjustment Entry Example: Credit PR Liability Account $4,761.90 Debit PR Tax Expense – Dept 1 $2,801.12 Debit PR Tax Expense – Dept 2 $1,960.78 --- ## Weekly Dynamic: GL/MDA SQL - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-glmda-sql/ - Date: 2011-01-03 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, SQL & Data, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article This week’s Weekly Dynamic comes from Jeremy Lowell of [DataRealized.com](http://www.datarealized.com/).

In my experience, I had a terribly Cartesian product when I made that join. While I haven’t yet tracked down why that’s the case, I ended up doing the following: I took all of the data out of each of the GP companies ~ 50 and persist them into tables in my staging database. For MDA data, I have one table for the DTA10100 and DTA10200 data and another table for the GL20000 and 30000 data. Once I have that data, I update a column that I created (dexrowid\_GL) via 8 different steps… Basically creating a “validity” of each join. That logic is below. -8 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate, SequenceNumber, DocNumber and amount(dollars). -7 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate, DocNumber and amount(dollars). -6 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate, SequenceNumber and DocNumber -5 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate and DocNumber -4 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate, SequenceNumbrer, amount(dollars) and the SequenceNumber MUST NOT equal the OriginatingSequenceNumber. -3 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate, amount(dollars) and the SequenceNumber MUST NOT equal the OriginatingSequenceNumber -2 — Must match on AccountNumber, JournalEntry, TRXDate and amount(dollars). 42 — There is not enough data to join the MDA transaction to the GL transaction. Thus far, I have less than one percent of records that will not join with the logic mentioned above. I’m still working on ironing out why I have to jump through all of these hoops and I’m quite certain that it’s a 3rd party application but I have yet to prove that out. Good luck in accurately joining your MDA transactions to your GL transactions…. what should be fairly straight forward per the SDK has proven to be anything but for the dataset that I’m working against --- ## Journal Entry (number) has been entered in another window in Dynamics GP - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/journal-entry-number-has-been-entered-in-another-window-in-dynamics-gp/ - Date: 2010-12-30 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article Omar Kloub looks at an error where Journal Entry (number) has been entered in another window --- ## Microsoft Dynamics GP Fixed Assets Year End Closing procedures - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/microsoft-dynamics-gp-fixed-assets-year-end-closing-procedures/ - Date: 2010-12-21 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Year-End & 1099 - Type: original article Gina Hoener from The Summit Group covers one of my annual hot button items, Microsoft Dynamics GP Fixed Assets Year End Closing procedures --- ## Dynamics GP 2010 “DIY” Fixed Assets Excel Report - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/dynamics-gp-2010-diy-fixed-assets-excel-report/ - Date: 2010-12-01 - Topics: Reporting & BI, General Ledger & Financials, Excel & Office - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2010 - Type: original article Amy Walsh has a new take on Fixed Asset reporting with a Dynamics GP 2010 “DIY” Fixed Assets Excel Report --- ## Year End Close in Analytical Accounting in Dynamics GP - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/year-end-close-in-analytical-accounting-in-dynamics-gp/ - Date: 2010-11-24 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Year-End & 1099 - Type: original article I missed Siva’s post on Year End Close in Analytical Accounting so I’m catching up. --- ## Account Rollup Inquiry in Dynamics GP - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/account-rollup-inquiry-in-dynamics-gp/ - Date: 2010-11-23 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article Siva visits one of my favorite subjects, Account Rollup Inquiry in Dynamics GP --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Options for Controlling GL Posting - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-options-for-controlling-gl-posting/ - Date: 2010-11-22 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article There are a couple of different options for controlling posting to the GL in Dynamics GP.

The downside is that transactions that would otherwise post through from a subledger, won’t. Another option that is often over-looked is to control who can post to the GL with security. This will still let anyone create GL entry  but only those with proper posting permission can actually post a batch or transaction. --- ## SQL Query for GL Trial Balance – GP 2010 - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/sql-query-for-gl-trial-balance-gp-2010/ - Date: 2010-11-18 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, SQL & Data - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2010 - Type: original article Siva has put up a new SQL Query for GL Trial Balance for GP 2010. --- ## Maintaining Budget Transaction History in GP 2010 - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/maintaining-budget-transaction-history-in-gp-2010/ - Date: 2010-11-15 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2010 - Type: original article veeyeskay has a nice catch in his latest post.

This week I want to give you some SQL code to compare the Bank subledger to GL. Yes, this is actually very easy to do inside the GP interface, easier than AP or AR but since you’ll have those two via SQL, why not have everything in one place.

GP has a utility to help you do this if they are out of balance. Additionally, The Close can go beyond the capabilities in Dynamics GP to provide even better balancing options. But what if you are regularly in balance and you want to make sure that you stay that way without having to run the big AR Trial Balance report every day? Well, here is a little bit of SQL that can I’ve used before that can do just that. This compares the AP subledger to the selected AP GL account and shows the difference. It’s a quick way to see if AP balance. SELECT     ‘AP’ as SubType, (SUM(currblnc))\*-1 AS SUBBAL, 0 AS GLBAL into #SubtoGLCompare FROM         PM00201 /\*Get the GL total for this Account.

Where does Dynamics GP fit? - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/is-horizontal-accounting-software-dead-where-does-dynamics-gp-fit/ - Date: 2010-07-01 - Topics: Payables & Receivables, Development & Integration, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article Michael Johnson is back with a look at Horizontal versus Vertical accounting software with [Is “Horizontal” Accounting Software Dead?](http://mbsguru.blogspot.com/2010/06/is-horizontal-accounting-software-dead.html) Here is my take. Having use both vertical and horizontal accounting software, most vertical software absolutely sucks at anything other than its intended vertical. Many vertical packages are also half baked. They have little or no GL and poor reporting.Verticals targeted at say… AR heavy industries like TV and radio (something I actually know quite a bit about),  tend to have substandard AP and Payroll abilities, if any at all. Manufacturing packages are like this as well. They do great at tracking manufacturing costs and fall down at processing expense reports. So where does Dynamics GP fit? It gets attacked for being horizontal because it has strong fundamentals. Seriously, ask some other Dynamics folks.GP is generally regarded as having the best GL of the bunch. The beauty of Dynamics GP is that because of it’s design and long history of embracing cooperation, there are a ton of third party products available to add the vertical stack for just about any industry. A while back I consulted with a metals broker in Miami. They sold scrap metal from Asia to Europe and South America. They had significant shipping and tracking needs. They were groaning under the weight of a massive Excel spreadsheet. Yeah, there was a third party product specifically for that industry. I have no idea if the product is still around but they had a legitimate, specific third party option to choose from. Additionally, the integration features of both Dynamics GP and third party integration products allow the integration of vertically focused applications to work with Dynamics GP. When I was Transit TV, we used a world class traffic system to manage TV style programming and AR. The AR requirements for TV are crazy specific and very data intensive. Imagine scheduling more than 31 million data points a year and then having to list the exact time of each 30 second spot on bill.. (30 seconds x 2 per minute x 60 minutes per hour x 24 hours x 365 days). We managed that side in the vertical app, imported what we needed to Dynamics GP and ran everything else off of Dynamics GP. I even wrote the core SQL for credit reporting for the vertical because they didn’t have that feature. All of this was a small piece of a billion dollar, publically traded entity so there wasn’t much room for error. The point is that it doesn’t matter what you call it. The finance chief will argue for a robust GL and strong financial reporting. Manufacturing will want world class manufacturing. Shipping will want world class warehousing and distribution. The best chance for companies to have it all is with a solution based around Microsoft Dynamics GP. --- ## Weekly Review: Dynamics GP Budget vs. Actual on Steroids - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-review-dynamics-gp-budget-vs-actual-on-steroids/ - Date: 2010-07-01 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article Dynamics GP does a pretty good job of getting you Budget vs. Actual info for a single account or via a report, for a complete range of accounts. But what if you want an uneven range? What if you don’t want the hassle of running a report every time you want to see Revenue vs. Budget for a range of revenue accounts? Surely don’t want to take the time to run an FRx report just for that! If that’s the case, it’s Account Rollup to the rescue. In Account Rollup you can specify that you want 2 columns. That one column should be Actual and another Budget. When you select a budget column, you also select which budget you want to use. From there, simply select the accounts you want using any of your segments or segment value combinations. Revenue for one account across all segments? no problem. Revenue for one segment across all natural accounts? sure. To be clear, you can compare multiple budgets, perform calculations, compare to last year, etc. I continue to be amazed at both the uses for Account Rollup and the number of people who don’t know it’s in the product. For more info, there’s also my original post on using Account Rollup.

Done with AP? Check the Purchasing box and close the whole module. Every once in a while we get burned though. We balance the bank accounts but leave the whole Financial module open so that we can finish up JE’s. Then someone posts a bank transaction into the month we’re trying to close. Now the completed bank rec doesn’t match the GL any more. Well, you can get fine grain control of closing periods. Simply go to Tools->Setup->Company->Fiscal Periods, just as you always would, and then pick Mass Close. (I know, dumb name if you’re using it this way.) Limit the selections to the Series and Periods you want (Financial, Period 2 for example). Here you can check the boxes to close Bank Transactions, Bank Deposits and Bank Transfers, thus preventing them from posting while leaving GL, Clearing and Quick entries open for final adjusting entries. This works with all the modules (close PO’s but leave AP open for example) to give you better control over the close. A couple of observations: 1) If modules are partially closed at month end, the checkbox for the full module remains unchecked (i.e.: if you close Bank Trx, the main Financial box is still unchecked) 2) The main month end close boxes override the ones checked via Mass Close. So if you close Bank Trx, later close the Financial Module and then reopen the Financial Module for a last minute transaction, you’ve also reopened the ability to post Bank Transactions for that period.

One thing we find every year is that there are a few assets where the cost is different between tax and book. In our case, they should always be the same. It’s getting better each year but we’ve still got a small handful this year. ##### This happens when we adjust the cost of an asset after the fact for additional costs that come in later. These are things like freight, tax, installation, etc. Sometimes these bills arrive 60 days after the asset is on the books. We tend to get the corporate book right and forget to make the same changes on the tax book. Also, if it’s a new category for us, the Federal book relationship might not be setup (life, depreciation type, etc.). In that case, we get an error when setting up the asset but if you don’t go back and fix it, you end up with a corporate book and no tax book at all. Consequently, one of our processes at year end is to export the tax and corporate books to Excel via a Smartlists and then compare the two. We then make any adjustments to reconcile the two books. Since it’s always federal that’s out in our case (we’re really conscientious about the corporate book) I can do this process after the year is closed and just rerun the depreciation on the federal book for any adjustments. For this year, we’ve quit doing adjustments and are setting up second assets with the same asset number but a different suffix. It looks like a bunch of little assets when you glance at the FA ledger but it’s simple to explain, easier to trace to source documents  and our auditors have been happy with it. So there’s really two tips that come out of this: 1) Compare your cost basis for your various books on some kind of regular basis. 2) Avoid adjusting asset costs whenever you can and use a suffix or master asset ID to keep all the pieces of an asset together.

Thank you to everyone involved. The MSDynamicsWorld team was fantastic. Despite my best efforts to crash the question system with volume it held up just fine and we got some great questions out of that. Jivtesh provided an review of the session on his blog at [http://www.jivtesh.com/2010/05/mark-polinos-fast-close-for-dynamics-gp.html](http://www.jivtesh.com/2010/05/mark-polinos-fast-close-for-dynamics-gp.html "http://www.jivtesh.com/2010/05/mark-polinos-fast-close-for-dynamics-gp.html") This was a lot of fun to do and I’m looking forward to more opportunities to do virtual conferences. One of the questions afterward led me to realize that I misspoke so I would like to correct that here. If you create and assign a Task in GP to another user, you can’t see that task later by default. However, there are some options to still make this process work fine for month end. The options are: 1) Assign the task to and add the individual’s name that you want to complete the task to the beginning of the task description. All users can see these tasks and GP records who actually competed the task and when. 2) Assign the task to a specific user and use SmartList Builder, Excel Report Builder, SSRS, Crystal Reports, Excel or other reporting tool to build a report from the Dynamics..SY01403 table in Dynamics GP. This table holds all the tasks by user making it easy to build into a report. 3) Assign the task to a specific user and create a custom report using Report Writer in Dynamics GP pointed to the syUserTasks (Dynamics..sy01403). The advantage to this method is that no additional products are necessary and the custom report is easy to export and import. The down side of course is that you have to use Report Writer. --- ## SQL Script to Reconcile GL vs. AA Balances - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/sql-script-to-reconcile-gl-vs-aa-balances/ - Date: 2010-05-17 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article New from veeyeskay is a SQL Script to Reconcile GL vs. AA Balances. --- ## Posting Levels in Dynamics GP - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/posting-levels-in-dynamics-gp/ - Date: 2010-05-17 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article Veeyeskay has a nice look at Posting Levels in Dynamics GP. --- ## Weekly Review: Unit Accounts - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-review-unit-accounts/ - Date: 2010-04-15 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article We’ve looked at Fixed and Variable Allocation accounts and now it’s time for Unit Accounts. Strictly speaking, Unit Accounts are not financial accounts. They hold non-financial data that is still important to the company. Typically this would be items like headcount, square footage, etc. They can be entered and reported on and they can be used with allocation accounts to split entries based on the units. Setting up unit accounts is easy. Cards->Financial->Unit Account gets you in. From there you enter an account number, description, and number of decimal points. You also select which series to apply them too. Pick all series unless you have a really good reason not to. Leaving out a series will come back to bite you unless you’re very consistent because these account will be missing from the lookups in the series you didn’t include. Keep in mind that you can also budget against unit accounts. Transactionally, a unit account functions like an asset account. Debits increase, credits decrease and it doesn’t clear at year end. If you want to reset a unit account at year end you’ll need to do a clearing entry. Unit account transactions in the GL are one-sided entries. Because they’re not financial accounts, they don’t have to balance. Yes this freaks some people out the first time they see a unit transactions. The “Unit” is a measure or fraction of 1. Whatever you designate it to be (1 sq ft, 1 individual, 1000 ads). It may be helpful to include a unit of measure description in the account name if it’s not obvious. Unit accounts are pretty straightforward but powerful. Because they are accounts, FRx can see them and can use them. I’ve used this to report headcount by department on our internal financials.

When you open the budget maintenance window, you have the ability to modify one account at a time, however the method button brings up the ability to do a mass modify on all accounts in the budget. If you hit Calculate and do not understand the implication, you may corrupt your entire budget.  Not so bad with an increase or decrease, that you can reverse, but pray you didn’t use Set Amount, or start looking for your backups. FYI Budget ID table is GL00200, Budget Details table is GL00201 for fast dumps of your data. The Safe way to modify a single account using the calculation method is on the Single Account Budget Maintenance screen, which can be found linked to the account maintenance screen. --- ## General Ledger Budget Transactions in GP 2010 - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/general-ledger-budget-transactions-in-gp-2010/ - Date: 2010-03-29 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 2010 - Type: original article I’m slowly catching up and I see that Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP has a look at a new feature to formalize budget changes in their new post General Ledger Budget Transactions. --- ## Customer Statements with Multicurrency Information - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/customer-statements-with-multicurrency-information/ - Date: 2010-03-29 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Payables & Receivables - Type: original article Veeyeskay  gives us a look at some interesting finding on Customer Statements with Multicurrency Information.

Variable Allocations split amounts based on some system variable like number of employees, balance in posting account, etc. You set up Variable Allocations in Cards-Financial-Variable Allocations. Account Number and descriptions work like any other account. The two key components are Distributions Accounts and Breakdown Accounts. Distribution Accounts are the accounts where the amounts will end up. Breakdown accounts are used to split up the amounts. Often these are unit accounts holding information like Full Time Equivalents or Square Footage. For example, if I have $1,000 in medical costs to be distributed to 3 departments based on headcount. $1,000 would be posted to the variable allocation account. The account would then would split the $1,000 to the Distribution Accounts based on headcount ratio. You have a choice to use period amounts or account totals of the breakdown accounts for the calculation. This is set in the Variable Allocation setup. If you do allocations based on headcount like we do, Variable Allocation accounts can be a real time saver.

Today we’ll look at the simplest version, fixed allocation accounts. With fixed allocation accounts you apportion costs based on a fixed percentage. Allocation accounts always have a zero balance. Transactions posted to an allocation account get their amounts split to the underlying accounts based on the percentages setup and nothing actually posts to the allocation account itself. For example, if you have a sales office attached to headquarters. You could apportion say, 10% of the HQ facility costs to the sales office since they don’t have separate rent, utilities, etc. Posting to the allocation account will automatically split the amounts 90/10 between a Headquarters account and a Sales Department account. We use a different numbering scheme for allocation accounts to be able to easily identify them. To setup a Fixed Allocation, go to Cards-Financial-Fixed Allocation, then: - Enter an Account Number and Description - Enter successive distribution accounts and their percentages The distribution percentages must add up to 100%. That’s the minimum you need to do to setup a Fixed Allocation account. When entering transaction, you will see the allocation account on a batch edit list. However, if you check “Break Down Allocation” at the batch level, edit lists will show the actual account breakdowns and totals that will post.

The longest GL account number I’ve worked with in GP is 27 digits, 8 segments. This is different from the account framework which may be large to accomodate changes but most companies have a much smaller chart of accounts. When you have an account number of that size, some of the pitfalls in GP are: 1) You have to activate horizontal scroll bars in User Preferences and you end up scrolling left an right to see the entire account. 2) Many of GP’s default reports aren’t setup for accounts of that size and you’ll need to modify posting reports for all modules and GL related reports. 3) You’ll do a lot of resizing in Smartlists just to fit what you want on the screen. 4) You shouldn’t see too many performance issues in GP but you may see serious slowdowns in FRx. This is especially true when using trees or reports with heavy account detail. Enterprise Reporting deals with large accounts and large datasets better, but the features are not identical between the two products. 5) Users will do a lot more searching on segments other than account number. Make sure you’ve got the other segments setup to be searchable in the account framework.

This makes is very difficult to find and correct any errors. The easiest way around this is to separate asset changes from depreciation. Make all of your asset additions, retirements and changes, then run the GL Posting routine (Tools-Routines-Fixed Assets-GL Posting) before you run depreciation for the period. This will give you a much cleaner GL transaction making it easy to ensure that the your GL clearing account is properly cleared. After that, run depreciation and do a separate GL Posting for depreciation. When processing your GL Posting routine, set the periods from the beginning of the year to the current period. This way if something didn’t post properly in a prior period it will come out for cleanup. For example, if someone added a fixed asset before you closed the month but after you ran your GL Posting interface, it’s still sitting in the prior month. Running the GL Interface for only this period, won’t cause this transaction to post. But if you run the GL interface from the beginning of the year, it will at least make it into this month’s transactions. Using this technique will get you good, clean FA to GL transactions every month. *Posted by Mark [5/09/2006 02:24:00 PM](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2006/05/weekly-dynamicfixed-assetgl-best.html "permanent link")* --- ## Weekly Review: Putting the Fix in Fixed Assets - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-review-putting-the-fix-in-fixed-assets/ - Date: 2009-10-22 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article Fixed sporting events are bad. Fixed transmissions are good. Fixed Assets are …well… in between. Today I want to look at some potential issues in the Fixed Asset module and what you can do about it. I’m using version 8 but these items should apply backwards and forward for several versions. There haven’t been that many chages to FA. So here we go: - **The Fixed Asset module has it’s own calendar in Tools-Setup-Fixed Assets-Quarter.** You may think that this is no big deal, it’s used for the mid-quater convention, yada yada. BUT if your Fixed Asset calendar is different from your financial calendar, you can have a mess! What can happen is that if you run depreciation only for the current period, because the financial and FA periods don’t match, part of your depreciation may not flow to the GL! Oops. So if you’re on a fiscal calendar, double check your FA calendar too. Go on. Do it now we’ll wait. - **You think you have a problem with a Fixed Asset and the GL. Where do you look?** The Inquiry-Fixed Asset-Financial Detail windows is your best friend. The batch number in this window shows the GL interface batch. If you have gaps, the data didn’t go to the GL. (Of course, since you do account account recons you found and fixed this via a JE at month end. Didn’t you?) ![](/img/blogger/ce012ae2d961e773.png) - **Partial Retirments** Just so you understand what a partial retirement transactions does, here’s the scoop. Let’s say I have asset 100-1 and it contains Ferraris with a quantity of 5 (it was a special bulk price). When you total one of my Ferraris, I have to partially retire the asset since it has a quantity greater than one and you only totalled one of my Ferraris. When the partial retirement is done, GP creates a second asset behind the scenes to hold the retired portion. In this case asset 100-2 would be created and it would contain 1 retired Ferrari. Asset 100-1 has it’s quantity and cost reduced by the amount of the retired portion and it remains the active asset. When you look in the Retirements window, you see asset 100-1 with the partially retired flag set, but all you see is the active portion when you drill down on the asset id. To find out info about the retired portion, you have to go find the correct suffix for that asset and drill down on it via the regular FA inquiry window. More importantly, you totalled one of my Ferraris! *Originally Posted by Mark [4/26/2006 12:31:00 PM](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2006/04/weekly-dynamic-putting-fix-in-fixed.html "permanent link")* --- ## Weekly Review: Daily Bank Reconciliations - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-review-daily-bank-reconciliations/ - Date: 2009-10-01 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article In his various accounting best practices books like [Fast Close](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0471708976/sr=8-1/qid=1142608012/ref=sr_1_1?%5Fencoding=UTF8) Stephen Bragg recommends reconciling bank data on a daily basis. This is actually very easy to do with DynamicsGP and Great Plains. This process will shorten your month end close since you don’t have to wait for the bank statement, and it will let you find and fix issues throughout the month, not just at month end. So how do you it? - **Option 1:** Use the Electronic Reconciliation module and get a special file from your bank every day. If you’re a large company dealing with large banks, this is a great option, but it’s not for everyone. - **Option 2:** Use your bank’s website and normal reconciliation. Admit it, you get your bank balance off of your bank’s website now so this is easy, even for little firms with small banks. Here are the steps: 1. Go to your bank’s website, get today’s posted balance and print out the daily transactions back to when you last got your statement. 2. Start a bank reconciliation process in DynamicsGP. 3. Enter today’s posted balance for the bank statement ending balance and use today’s date for the dates. 4. Check off cleared items and balance the statement to a zero difference. 5. When finished, click OK. DON’T CLICK RECONCILE! Clicking OK will save the reconciliations. 6. On the next day, repeat these steps for 1 day’s worth of transactions. 7. At month end, verify the totals with the statement and then click reconcile. The month end bank rec process is now minutes, not hours. There a few potential pitfalls to look out for: 1. There may be a few days at month end where you can’t reconcile into the next month until you have received the final statement. In this case you can either rely on the website as the final reconciling document or have a few days to make up early in the next month. Both options have problems, I’ve seen banks have website issues that cause the statement and website to not match, but this is pretty rare. However, Delaying a few days tends to break the nice daily balancing rythm you develop. There’s no perfect option, pick whichever one fits your business requirements. 2. Make sure you know where you left off from the day before. Often bank websites won’t let you print just one day, you have to print the whole screen which can overlap days. *Originally Posted by Mark [3/17/2006 10:05:00 AM](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2006/03/weekly-dynamic-best-practice-daily.html "permanent link")* --- ## Weekly Review: Account Rollup - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-review-account-rollup/ - Date: 2009-07-23 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features, Reporting & BI - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 10 - Type: original article I stumbled on this little gem in v 7.5 so I don’t even know what version it was added in to but it definitely still works well in v10. If you need to look at groups of accounts this is the inquiry for you. You can even perform calculations! What is it? Account Rollup is an inquiry that you build which allows you to see different GL accounts rolled up together. Additionally, you can perform calculations on those accounts. We use this for all kinds of things like: - What’s the Fixed Asset total across all divisions? - What’s the commission allocation based on sales? Those kinds of things. Yes FRx will do this, but freqently, I don’t want to launch FRx and run financial statements just to get a breakdown of my FA accounts. So how does this work? In Dynamics GP, select Inquiry->Financial->Account Rollup Enter an Option ID, tab and click yes to add the option. You set the number of columns you want to see up in the right side. If all you want is totals, one column is fine. For calculations, use at least 2 columns. In the center, you set the types of columns, but we’ll come back to that. At the bottom, you add criteria like accounts, departments, divisions, etc. UNLIKE OTHER GP criteria areas, you can multiple independent criteria here. So if you want to see Chicago and New York but not LA. You add Chicago, then add New York. Save and click redisplay. Controls on the right let you see net change or period balance totals. If you want to see what makes up the total number, select a month and click the blue column header. Now, to get really fancy, you can ad calculated columns to a rollup. Simply create or modify (with the button) a rollup. Change the **type** from Actual to Calculated. In the Selection column, click the **blue arrow.** ****Back to my commission comment earlier. Let’s say, I accrue 8.9% of sale as a commission accrual. My first column is my monthly sales. So I’ll pick the only available column in the column box and hit the double arrows (>>) then add the multiply sign (\*) then in the constant box I’ll add .089 and hit the double arrows (>>).**** **You formula now looks something like C1 \* 0.089. Save and refresh and you get a report with sales and the commission allocation for each month.** **This is great for all those estimates you do every month. You can just take the numbers and do a JE.** *Originally Posted by Mark [9/19/2005 02:12:00 PM](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2005/09/weekly-feature-account-rollup.html "permanent link")* --- ## Weekly Review: Extreme Makeover JE Edition - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-review-extreme-makeover-je-edition/ - Date: 2009-07-16 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article Each week I’d like to cover a feature in GP. Some of them are new, others just underutilized. Ideally, I’d like to do this more than weekly but hey, I have a job. ***Extreme Makeover, JE Edition*** In version 8.0 Microsoft introduced Journal Entry corrections and copies. This is feature I’d been asking for for some time. I even came close to writing my own version several times. You now have the ability to undo a journal entry, easily, and with a complete audit trail. In **Transactions->Financial->General, select Correct**. You now have an option to **back out a Journal Entry** or **Back out a JE and create a correcting entry**. You will also need the JE number (you can look it up) and year of the entry you want to correct. What happens behind the scenes when you backout an entry is that GP creates a duplicate, opposite JE with a new JE number to offset the one you want to correct. If all you need to do is undo an entry, simply post your correction and you’re done. If you also select a correcting entry, the first entry created is the backout entry. When you post or save the backout entry, a second entry is created. This second entry is your original entry as a new, unposted JE that you can make changes to. Both the backout and the correction are normal JE’s that can be save to a batch, changed, posted, made reversing, etc. Some obvious uses: - *That batch of month end accruals was accidentally posted in next month.* Simply pull up the JE, do a correction to back it out of next month, and change the date on the correcting entry to the correct month. Post it all an you are in business. - *The 150 line JE keyed incorrectly by an intern.* Hopefully this was reviewed before posting, but if not, use this tool to backout the incorrect entry and make the intern fix the correcting entry (or re-key it, depending on how mad you are ;). A related feature is to **Copy** a JE. Same process, just click copy instead of correct. This is great when you need to create a JE just like the one you did last month! By default, Correction only works for transactions that originated in the General Ledger. However, the administrator can change this behavior. **Tools>Setup>Financial>General Ledger** now has new check boxes to control this functionality. Check “**Voiding/Correcting of Subsidiary Transactions**” and “**Back Out of Inter-company Transactions**” to allow for corrections of transactions originating in a sub-ledger. This a great feature, a critical feature, that the competition has had for a while. Now we’ve got it and I love it. But you have to be on v8.0 or better. This was one of the compelling features that pushed us to upgrade to 8.0. Detailed specifics can be found in GP Help.

Posting To controls whether a transaction is even sent to the GL. Selecting the Posting To option means that a subledger posting updates the subledger and also sends an unposted transaction to the GL that then needs to be posted again to update the GL. Adding posting through means that the GL portion of the transaction posts to the GL automatically as well. The fun really starts when a firm decides that they want everything to post to and through the GL. The way to set this is via the Dynamics GP menu then Tools->Setup->Posting->Posting, Select a Series (like financial), set Origin to ALL and check both the Post to General Ledger and Post Through General Ledger checkboxes. Click save to make the change stick and then repeat this for each series. That’s easy enough until you return to the window and see that when you select all, the Post Through button is no longer checked. Most responses to this start with “What the…”. Here is what’s going on. In the past, some modules didn’t allow posting through the GL. Setting the origin to ALL would update only the transaction types that would allow posting through. Consequently, the box wasn’t checked since all of the items weren’t really set to post through. Now however, all the trasaction types allow posting through the GL. The fact that the box isn’t checked when users select an origin of ALL is just an annoying leftover. To really check if posting through is set, select an origin of ALL and with the lookup window still open, use the arrow key to arrow down through the various origin types. Each time you select an origin, the window will refresh to show the appropriate settings in the background.

One of the benefits of batch posting is the ability to control the posting date via the batch posting date. This works for most batch types except GL. The ability to change the posting date is important. For example, If an invoice arrives several months late, the invoice should typically be posted in the GL for the current month, even though the invoice date is in the past. This can still be accomplished with transactional posting, the process just isn’t obvious. In any of the transaction, click the blue arrow next to the date field. In our AP invoice example from above, this would be the **Doc. Date** field. The arrow next to a date field typically opens a window with additional date fields allowing a user to fine tune dates including setting a different posting date. The posting date in this window controls the posting date of a transaction not placed in a batch. Unless this date is explicitly changed, it defaults to the document date on the main transaction window. Batch posting allows you to set this posting date once for the batch. If using transactional posting, the date will need to be set on each transaction.

This is set in Tools->Setup->Posting->Posting and can be controlled differently for different transaction types. The vast majority of consultants I know (including me) recommend posting by batch, but it’s not always clear to user why so here are my reasons. - Batches allow users to save and review transactions prior to posting. - Batches allow printing edit lists to identify errors prior to posting. - Batches can require approval and/or verification. - Batch posting provides better control over the posting date. For transactions, this defaults to the transaction date. It can often be changed with the arrow on the date field but few users figure that out. - Some transactions like Inventory Adjustments require batch posting to really work right. - Batches can provide another reference or grouping point for searching or reporting. - Batches recover better from errors via Batch Recovery than directly posted transactions. This is a personal observation and I don’t care what anyone says. I’ve more hard to fix errors resulting from transaction posting than from batch posting. Something will go wrong so you might as well have the best chance at recovery. This leaves the average users with two simple options. Ignore all the advice and experience of a bunch of GP consultants and pay us ton of money to fix it when something goes wrong or use batch posting. I’m not worried, plenty of folks will choose option 1.

The idea is that even though you selected a a cutoff date, sometimes mis-dated a transaction will have cleared the bank and you’ll need it to properly reconcile, even though the transaction is past the cutoff date. Changing the cut off date to find these items then puts the wrong cut off date on your reconciliation reports so this functionality provides a better way. If you select “No” indicating that you don’t want to use an 8 day grace period, a box opens allowing the user to change the length of the grace period. Unfortunately, there is no setting to change the default 8 day grace period. If you don’t like 8 days as your grace period you’ll have to change it every time. --- ## Did You Know?

Typically a Fixed Allocation account takes an amount posted to that account and passes it to multiple other accounts based on the setup percentages. Recently I ran into a situation where we wanted to do the opposite. In Project Accounting you can force transactions to change various segments to match the segment values assigned to the project using the subnet mask functionality. For example, a department segment is changed on posting to match the department assigned to the project. It works great until you run into a particular cost category that you DON’T want to change based on the project. You can’t control subnet masks by cost category, an account type either gets a mask or it doesn’t. In our case, for certain allocation transactions to a particular cost category, we wanted them all to hit the same department but Project Accounting was transforming the department segment causing us problems. The solution was to create a Fixed Allocation account for each department. The allocation accounts all pointed to the same real GL account with a 100% allocation. In other words, instead of using an allocation account to spread costs to multiple departments, we used multiple allocation accounts to rollup costs to a single department. This kept the GL clean and avoided polluting the chart with a whole bunch of accounts since allocation accounts are pass through accounts that don’t show up on financial statements. I love finding new uses for old features! --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Turning a Project into a Fixed Asset - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-turning-a-project-into-a-fixed-asset/ - Date: 2009-06-01 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article A common request is to turn a Project from the Project Accounting module, into a Fixed Asset in the Fixed Asset module. There is no native functionality to do this and based on my conversations with the Dynamics GP team, it’s not coming any time soon so you might as well understand the workaround and it looks like this: 1) Create a Miscellaneous Log Cost Category for Fixed Assets pointing the Contra Account to the FA Clearing account and the Cost/Expense account to wherever you are collecting the project costs (a WIP account, a project FA WIP account, etc.). You’ll be doing a negative misc log so the cost collection location will be credited and contra (FA Clearing)  will be debited. 2) Once the project is ready to become a Fixed Asset, process a negative Misc Log transaction using the Fixed Asset Cost Category to remove an amount equal to the total cost of the project.     a. This setup makes it easy to exclude the FA Cost Category when analyzing project costs while still leaving the project at zero     b. This process provides a transactional audit trail to show that the project was closed out and moved to Fixed Assets 3) Create a Fixed Asset. The GL Transfer mechanism will move the costs from the FA clearing account to the appropriate Fixed Asset account. I’m surprised that Microsoft doesn’t have any plans to add at least this basic functionality since it doesn’t seem like it would be all that hard. But every indication is that it’s not coming so you’ll have plenty of time to get used to the workaround process. --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Update Budget Lines in Project - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-update-budget-lines-in-project/ - Date: 2008-12-22 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article Something else new in GP Version 10 is the ability to mass add budget lines in Project Accounting. As an example, if your company adds a new cost category that needs to be applied to a large number of projects you can do that quickly, in a few minutes. The process is under Tools-Routines-Project-Update Budget Lines. Pick a Cost Category ID to be added to projects, optionally add a default status for the new line and a default quantity for the new line. Next select the appropriate projects on the left and insert them on the right with the center button. You can even update project templates so that new projects get that cost category as well. Simply check the Update Templates box and insert templates from left to right as well. Click process and you’re done. There’s no report that prints but you do get an update message when the process is complete. This new feature makes it simple to update cost categories to a large number of projects and it’s about as easy as it can be.

Many companies submit an ACH file to their bank to pay vendors. The bank will often process the transaction as a lump sum debited from the bank account rather than as individual transactions. This makes reconciling difficult because you need the ACH batch info to match back to the individual transactions that were sent to the Bank Reconciliation module but the bank statement will only show one amount. Well, here is a fix. Use the ACH file that you sent to the bank as your source file for the Electronic Reconcile module. Let Electronic Reconcile check off the ACH transactions for you. This also provides a better level of consistency for your auditors. If you are on the Advanced Management tier of Business Ready Licensing you already own Electronic Reconcile to go along with EFT for Payables so there is nothing else to buy to make this happen. --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Duplicate A Journal Entry - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-duplicate-a-journal-entry/ - Date: 2008-11-03 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article So lets say that last month you keyed a one-time journal entry that was a 100 lines long. Then next month, you find out that “one time” means “again this month” and “with a few changes”. Is there an easy way to key it again? Even with a few changes? Sure! Open up a new Journal Entry and hit Correct. Follow the prompts and find or key the JE from last month selecting Back Out and Correct. When done, you’ll have 2 JE’s, the backout entry and the correction entry. Delete the backout JE. Now all that you have left is a correction JE that looks just like last month’s entry, has today’s date and will let you make changes. Easy enough. Just don’t forget to delete the backout entry!

Since it’s budget time for many of you, I thought that I would mention it now so that you can slot some dough into next year’s budget. Convergence is Microsoft’s premier customer event for the Dynamics line of products. An awful lot of Office and SQL stuff gets covered there as well since they are part of the Dynamics infrastructure and I would expect to see some more Sharepointy stuff too. Make sure that you get Convergence 2009 into the budget. It’s worth it.

Partnersource was being very unreliable so we finally had to give up and ask for help. This issue does occur even with SP2 in GP 10. If you create an Excel budge file using the wizard and then try to import it back in an error message occurs indicating that the number of columns in the sheet doesn’t match the number of columns in GP. Even if you export a blank budget sheet and try to import it immediately back in, it won’t work. The items to review to fix this are: 1) You need 3 lines at the top of the sheet. Two that can be blank and the column header is the third line. 2) If you have renamed your periods to something like January, Feb, etc. they come in to the budget file as dates. We didn’t have any success renaming these as text. What did work was renaming the headings in the Excel sheet as Period 1, Period 2, etc. You don’t have to rename them in GP, just in the Excel sheet columns. Interestingly, changing the column titles to text January, February, etc. didn’t solve the problem either. It had to be non-date related. Our issue was number 2 on the list. It was really frustrating to export a budget and not be able to import it right back in and the error message was really no help. But now we have an answer and so do you. --- ## Dynamics GP Internal Metrics - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/dynamics-gp-internal-metrics/ - Date: 2008-02-14 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Sales, Purchasing & Inventory, Payables & Receivables - Type: original article A number of folks have emailed asking for the SQL queries behind the internal metrics I described in my [MSDynamicsWorld](http://msdynamicsworld.com/story/bi-reporting/dynamics-gp-commandments-know-thy-self-and-thy-spending-patterns) article. [Well, now, it’s all available here.](https://app.box.com/shared/uwndq0uwwo) I’ll also add a link to the downloads section on the right. In brief, there are metrics for AP, PO, Fixed Assets and a bonus one for Actual vs. Budget. For AP there is a count of Vouchers Per Week, Vouchers Per Week excluding PO related vouchers and Payments per Week. For PO there is a count of PO’s per Week, PO Lines per Week, Receivings per Week and Invoices Matched per Week. Fixed Assets has Fixed Assets added per week and the bonus is a list of overbudget accounts along with the values and differences as of today. These items are historical, meaning if you plug them in, you’ll get data already in your system assuming you are keeping history. All of the items are useful today but have lots of room for improvement in efficiency and scale. For example some of these could be monthly and tied into your fiscal calendar. You could used activity tracking to break the metrics out by user. The Week End Date code could be rolled into a function for simplicity. My goal was to give you something understandable to build on. There’s more info in the read me file that’s included. There are no AR metrics because we used an industry specific AR package that was not GP. I have metrics for it but it’s not relevant to GP users. Special thanks to Steve Gray of [4Penny.net](http://www.4penny.net/) who wrote parts of these under contract and to Dwight Specht of [I.B.I.S., Inc.](http://ibisinc.com/) who gave me the current Week Ending Date code. --- ## AP to GL Reconcile Problem in Dynamics GP 10 - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/ap-to-gl-reconcile-problem-in-dynamics-gp-10/ - Date: 2008-02-05 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Payables & Receivables - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 10 - Type: original article Dynamics GP 10 introduced new, Excel based, functionality to reconcile AP to the GL (Dynamics GP-Tools-Routines-Financial-Reconcile to GL). Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to work correctly if there are outstanding transactions paid by credit card. When you pay an AP transaction with a credit card, there’s no GL affect, the liability within the AP subledger is simply moved from the original vendor to the credit card vendor. This seems to confuse the AP reconciliation process since there is no corresponding GL transaction for open credit card vendor. To duplicate: 1) Start with AP balanced to GL (AP Aged Trial Bal with Options balances to GL Inquiry). Verify that Reconcile to GL shows that they match. 2) Enter an AP transaction via Transaction Entry and pay the voucher using a valid Credit Card in the system. 3) Post the transaction through the GL. 4) Run the AP to GL reconcile. The outstanding credit card transaction will show as not existing in GL. Since all step 2 did was transfer the liability from the vendor to the CC vendor, there shouldn’t be a trx in the GL for the CC vendor. The GL didn’t change. This functionality works right but AP Reconcile doesn’t seem to take this into account. 5) Run the AP Aged TB with Options and GL Inquiry and you’ll see that they are still balanced. I’ve opened a case with MS to report this as a bug. --- ## Extra Fiscal Period - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/extra-fiscal-period/ - Date: 2008-01-03 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article Now that I’m back as a consultant, I’ve started working on my Microsoft Certified Business Management Professional certification for GP. As a customer, I didn’t see any reason to keep up my certifications but I’ll need them as a consultant. It’s too bad that they’ve retired the Certified Master designation. That title was more fun! In the process of working on that I came across a little tidbit for those of you who need an adjustment period at the end of your fiscal year. The typical advice has been to leave a one day long, 13th period for end of the year or post audit adjustments. That’s still valid of course. However, the GP training documentation shows another option. You can have two fiscal periods with the same start date. GP places transactions in the first open period. This means that Fiscal December and the adjustment period can have the same dates. As long as Fiscal December is open, transactions go there. Once it’s closed, transactions roll into the Adjustment period. This would let you post ordinary entries up to the last day of the year instead of losing that last day. I’m not sure this will blow anyone’s mind but I thought it was cool to see that there is another option. Update: In the comments, Andy Hall has mentioned that using a 1 day period causes Expense/Deferral issues and overlapping 12th periods cause FRx issues. Japheth also reported having issues with an overlapping 12th period. Well, I didn’t say it was perfect ;). But that’s part of the point of this blog. Now you know that you have other options beyond just a 1 day period and you know that there may be issues. So if you need this, you know it’s there and you know what to look out for. Frankly, as both a customer and a consultant that’s all I ever really asked for! --- ## Code to Force Inventory Adj. Posting to GL - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/code-to-force-inventory-adj-posting-to-gl/ - Date: 2007-12-16 - Topics: Development & Integration, General Ledger & Financials, Install, Upgrade & Admin - Type: original article The MBS Guru did us all a favor and [dropped the VBA code](http://mbsguru.blogspot.com/2007/11/using-vba-to-mark-inventory-batches-to.html) to check the “Post to GL” box for inventory adjustments in GP on his website. As he readily admits, this code is common knowledge, I think most of us have written it or something similar. Now though, you can use your brain for something else and just download this code. There is also supposed to be a chunk (CNK) file available for free from GP that does this as well (ask your partner). The bigger question of course is “Why isn’t this included in GP to begin with?”. This issue has been there forever. If you have Dex code and VBA code, you know how to fix it, just make it a check box in the app and be done with it. Don’t add it to the next survey, just fix it in the next service pack. Heck make it 10 only for all I care. Everybody who needs it pre v 10 has one of these workarounds available but fix it for good. I’ll add a permanent link to the code in the Dev Downloads on the right. --- ## Best of Breed vs. Fully Integrated - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/best-of-breed-vs-fully-integrated/ - Date: 2007-05-17 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Payables & Receivables, Development & Integration - Type: original article I had a very nice chat with some folks who are implementing GP and struggling with the age old question of best of breed vs. fully integrated in their fixed asset accounting. They are coming off of FAS which is a long time leader in fixed asset accounting with lots of bells and whistles but integration can be a challenge, especially integration at the PO/Asset Creation point. GP’s Fixed Asset module is not as fully functional as FAS and can cause some pain if you have really complex issues. I’ve used FAS in an Oracle environment, worked in a fully DIS integrated shop (GEAC, SAP, GP, Peoplesoft and custom all in one company) and we’re fully integrated with the exception of AR. In our environment, we needed the AR flexibility of a industry specialized vertical app. We have it partially integrated with GP but we still have challenges. There is no good GP option for our AR needs and we’d rather spend the money for a solid app and integration than customizations. I’d love to be a fully integrated shop but since I can’t, we’ve erected big barriers for any non-integrated applications. Only one has made it over the hurdle. Often I find this a company culture thing. Money and time are budgeted to add an application but nothing is included for integration. Alternatively, since integration is often a last step, integration is killed in an over-time/over-budget implementation to the long term detriment of the company. There’s no one answer but I’m a little surprised at how big an issue this continues to be give that it’s been a problem since the PC was invented. **Best of Breed** vs. **Fully Integrated** --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Budget vs. Actual on Steroids - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-budget-vs-actual-on-steroids/ - Date: 2007-03-26 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article Dynamics GP does a pretty good job of getting you Budget vs. Actual info for a single account or via a report, for a complete range of accounts. But what if you want an uneven range? What if you don’t want the hassle of running a report every time you want to see Revenue vs. Budget for a range of revenue accounts? Surely don’t want to take the time to run an FRx report just for that! If that’s the case, it’s Account Rollup to the rescue. In Account Rollup you can specify that you want 2 columns. That one column should be Actual and another Budget. When you select a budget column, you also select which budget you want to use. From there, simply select the accounts you want using any of your segments or segment value combinations. Revenue for one account across all segments? no problem. Revenue for one segment across all natural accounts? sure. To be clear, you can compare multiple budgets, perform calculations, compare to last year, etc. I continue to be amazed at both the uses for Account Rollup and the number of people who don’t know it’s in the product. For more info, there’s also my original post on [using Account Rollup.](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/search?q=Account+Rollup) --- ## Dynamics GP: Business Ready Licensing - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/dynamics-gp-business-ready-licensing/ - Date: 2007-03-14 - Topics: Microsoft & the GP Ecosystem, General Ledger & Financials, Payables & Receivables - Type: original article I spent some time with our MS rep today and I got the lowdown on Business Ready Licensing. I’d heard the term but when MS makes licensing changes I tend to run and hide.I still don’t know whether it works for me but at least I understand it now so I thought I would try to translate it into layman’s terms. In a nutshell, it’s the value meal approach to licensing. They’ll probably hate that which is why they don’t say it that way, but I can. First there’s **Business Essentials (the medium happy meal)** which is the core that most businesses use, all for one, per user, price. (GL, Bank, FA, AR, AP, Multi Currency, POP, SOP, FRx, Inventory, Safe Pay, Interco, Customization site licenses and IM for conversions) The pricing is tiered and declines with more users but you get the idea. If that’s not enough, you can get the **Advanced Management option (the large happy meal).** This includes more things than I can list here. Finally if that doesn’t fill you up, there’s **Advanced Management Enterprise (Super Size me baby).** I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this includes all the modules that you want a really specialized consultant for when you implement them. Don’t forget to leave room for **desert, there are a few a la carte** modules (Payroll, HR, Smartlists builder, etc.) that can be added to any value meal, er ERP solution. Apple pie anyone? All new customers are getting business ready licenses now, legacy customers like me get a choice to stick with our per module licensing or move to business ready. The ex-consultant in me likes having modules that might improve my productivity but that we might not have the obvious ROI to buy standalone. Also, as business needs change, you could implement modules you’re already licensed for, without additional product cost. Of course, your enhancement plan is based on the whole solution, not just modules you use! The CFO in me doesn’t want my consultant personality spending all his time implementing modules that may or may not help us. I do wonder what effect this will have on ISV’s. If you already have access to Forecaster, will you look at other budgeting solutions? If you have GP intercompany, will you be able to sell the CFO on paying more for the advanced functionality of MC2’s Advanced Intercompany product? (Hat tip to Bill Marshall for a fine product.) If I were a reseller, I’d be thrilled. They make their money on implementations not software sales. I predict that “Well, you already have the software license, why not let us implement feature XYZ?” will be the new hot sales line for some time to come. Am I business ready? Who knows. I have to go home and run the ROI numbers to find out. --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Partial Month End Module Closing - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-partial-month-end-module-closing/ - Date: 2007-02-26 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials, Payables & Receivables - Type: original article At month end we tend to close module categories as they are finished. Done with AP? Check the Purchasing box and close the whole module. Every once in a while we get burned though. We balance the bank accounts but leave the whole Financial module open so that we can finish up JE’s. Then someone posts a bank transaction into the month we’re trying to close. Now the completed bank rec doesn’t match the GL any more. Well, you can get fine grain control of closing periods. Simply go to Tools->Setup->Company->Fiscal Periods, just as you always would, and then pick Mass Close. (I know, dumb name if you’re using it this way.) Limit the selections to the Series and Periods you want (Financial, Period 2 for example). Here you can check the boxes to close Bank Transactions, Bank Deposits and Bank Transfers, thus preventing them from posting while leaving GL, Clearing and Quick entries open for final adjusting entries. This works with all the modules (close PO’s but leave AP open for example) to give you better control over the close. A couple of observations: 1) If modules are partially closed at month end, the checkbox for the full module remains unchecked (i.e.: if you close Bank Trx, the main Financial box is still unchecked) 2) The main month end close boxes override the ones checked via Mass Close. So if you close Bank Trx, later close the Financial Module and then reopen the Financial Module for a last minute transaction, you’ve also reopened the ability to post Bank Transactions for that period. --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Matching Fixed Asset Costs In Multiple Books - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-matching-fixed-asset-costs-in-multiple-books/ - Date: 2007-02-15 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article As I work on year end tax returns for the company, one of the things we look at every year is our tax vs. book depreciation. One thing we find every year is that there are a few assets where the cost is different between tax and book. In our case, they should always be the same. It’s getting better each year but we’ve still got a small handful this year. This happens when we adjust the cost of an asset after the fact for additional costs that come in later. These are things like freight, tax, installation, etc. Sometimes these bills arrive 60 days after the asset is on the books. We tend to get the corporate book right and forget to make the same changes on the tax book. Also, if it’s a new category for us, the Federal book relationship might not be setup (life, depreciation type, etc.). In that case, we get an error when setting up the asset but if you don’t go back and fix it, you end up with a corporate book and no tax book at all. Consequently, one of our processes at year end is to export the tax and corporate books to Excel via a Smartlists and then compare the two. We then make any adjustments to reconcile the two books. Since it’s always federal that’s out in our case (we’re really conscientious about the corporate book) I can do this process after the year is closed and just rerun the depreciation on the federal book for any adjustments. For this year, we’ve quit doing adjustments and are setting up second assets with the same asset number but a different suffix. It looks like a bunch of little assets when you glance at the FA ledger but it’s simple to explain, easier to trace to source documents  and our auditors have been happy with it. So there’s really two tips that come out of this: 1) Compare your cost basis for your various books on some kind of regular basis. 2) Avoid adjusting asset costs whenever you can and use a suffix or master asset ID to keep all the pieces of an asset together. --- ## New Video: Intercompany Setup - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/new-video-intercompany-setup/ - Date: 2007-01-15 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article The new [Dynamic Sherpa video](/microsoft-dynamics-gp-2013-service-pack-2-new-feature-videos-developing-dynamics-gp/) is out and in this episode, we take a look at setting up the Intercompany Module.

The Posting Type is set in Cards->Financial->Account. The options are Balance Sheet or Profit and Loss and this field determines whether or not an account gets closed to Retained Earnings when the year end close is run. If everything is not right, you get balance sheet accounts closed to RE or income statement accounts still open at year end. It’s not fun. An easy way to check this is with the Accounts smartlist. If you’re like us and you use a range (1000-3999 for BS for example) to separate Balance Sheet from P&L accounts, you can set a search criteria to look for anything in the range that is wrong. For example I have a criteria of Account Number Less Than 4000-00-000000 (our first Revenue Account) and Posting Type = Profit and Loss. This will tell me any mis-classified BS accounts. I switch the less than to greater than and P&L to Balance Sheet and I can check the Income Statement accounts. When you find mis-classified accounts, you can drill back and fix them with the link in the corner of the smartlist. Keep in mind that Unit Accounts are always treated as Balance Sheet accounts but they don’t affect the P&L. Also Allocation (Fixed or Variable) and non-financial accounts may be listed as Balance Sheet accounts. Non-Financial accounts don’t affect the Financial Statements and Allocation accounts never carry a balance themselves so they can be left alone. --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Variable Allocation - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-variable-allocation/ - Date: 2006-10-02 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article We’ve looked at Fixed Allocation accounts but now we’re getting jiggy with Variable Allocations. Variable Allocations split amounts based on some system variable like number of employees, balance in posting account, etc. You set up Variable Allocations in Cards-Financial-Variable Allocations. Account Number and descriptions work like any other account. The two key components are Distributions Accounts and Breakdown Accounts. Distribution Accounts are the accounts where the amounts will end up. Breakdown accounts are used to split up the amounts. For example, if I have $1,000 in medical costs to be distributed to 3 departments based on headcount. $1,000 would be posted to the variable allocation account. The account would then would split the $1,000 to the Distribution Accounts based on headcount ratio. You have a choice to use period amounts or account totals of the breakdown accounts for the calculation. This is set in the Variable Allocation setup. If you do allocations based on headcount like we do, Variable Allocation accounts can be a real time saver. --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Fixed Allocation Accounts - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-fixed-allocation-accounts/ - Date: 2006-09-12 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article Allocation accounts have been in Dynamics for a long time but a lot of people still don’t use them. Today we’ll look at the simplest version, fixed allocation accounts. With fixed allocation accounts you apportion costs based on a fixed percentage. Allocation accounts always have a zero balance. Transactions posted to an allocation account get their amounts split to the underlying accounts based on the percentages setup and nothing actually posts to the allocation account itself. For example, if you have a sales office attached to headquarters. You could apportion say, 10% of the HQ facility costs to the sales office since they don’t have separate rent, utilities, etc. Posting to the allocation account will automatically split the amounts 90/10 between a Headquarters account and a Sales Department account. We use a different numbering scheme for allocation accounts to be able to easily identify them. To setup a Fixed Allocation, go to Cards-Financial-Fixed Allocation, then: - Enter an Account Number and Description - Enter successive distribution accounts and their percentages The distribution percentages must add up to 100%. That’s the minimum you need to do to setup a Fixed Allocation account. When entering transaction, you will see the allocation account on a batch edit list. However, if you check “Break Down Allocation” at the batch level, edit lists will show the actual account breakdowns and totals that will post. --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Long Account Number Pitfalls - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-long-account-number-pitfalls/ - Date: 2006-08-29 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, Reporting & BI, General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article I’ve gotten questions from people over the years about long account numbers/lots of segments, so I thought I would put together a short list of the pitfalls of very large account numbers. The longest GL account number I’ve worked with in GP is 27 digits, 8 segments. This is different from the account framework which may be large to accomodate changes but most companies have a much smaller chart of accounts. When you have an account number of that size, some of the pitfalls in GP are: 1) You have to activate horizontal scroll bars in User Preferences and you end up scrolling left an right to see the entire account. 2) Many of GP’s default reports aren’t setup for accounts of that size and you’ll need to modify posting reports for all modules and GL related reports. 3) You’ll do a lot of resizing in Smartlists just to fit what you want on the screen. 4) You shouldn’t see too many performance issues in GP but you may see serious slowdowns in FRx. This is especially true when using trees or reports with heavy account detail. Enterprise Reporting deals with large accounts and large datasets better, but the features are not identical between the two products. 5) Users will do a lot more searching on segments other than account number. Make sure you’ve got the other segments setup to be searchable in the account framework. --- ## Weekly Dynamic:Fixed Asset/GL Best Practices - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamicfixed-assetgl-best-practices/ - Date: 2006-05-09 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article If you use GP Fixed Assets, you know that if you run all your Fixed Asset processes (Add, Retire, Depreciate, etc.) together and then run the GL Posting routine, you get one big journal entry with all of your transactions. This makes is very difficult to find and correct any errors. The easiest way around this is to separate asset changes from depreciation. Make all of your asset additions, retirements and changes, then run the GL Posting routine (Tools-Routines-Fixed Assets-GL Posting) before you run depreciation for the period. This will give you a much cleaner GL transaction making it easy to ensure that the your GL clearing account is properly cleared. After that, run depreciation and do a separate GL Posting for depreciation. When processing your GL Posting routine, set the periods from the beginning of the year to the current period. This way if something didn’t post properly in a prior period it will come out for cleanup. For example, if someone added a fixed asset before you closed the month but after you ran your GL Posting interface, it’s still sitting in the prior month. Running the GL Interface for only this period, won’t cause this transaction to post. But if you run the GL interface from the beginning of the year, it will at least make it into this month’s transactions. Using this technique will get you good, clean FA to GL transactions every month. --- ## Subledger Work/Open Plumbing - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/subledger-workopen-plumbing/ - Date: 2006-05-03 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Reporting & BI - Type: original article I’ve been slowly working on a project at work to pull together all of our subledger, GL and unposted GL transactions for various accounts into a daily report email. This way, if a subledger/GL combo gets out of balance we know it right away and can fix it without wading through hundreds of transactions at month end. It’s a bit of challenge because not all of our subledgers live in GP. In the Scripts section of the website there is a SQL script with much of the plumbing for this if you want to play with it yourself. While working on this, I’ve found a few idiosyncracies in the plumbing of GP and I wanted to share them before I forgot. 1. The received/not invoiced report is used to balance accrued purchased to the GL. But it’s not a true historical report so I’ve found your better off running it as of today and comparing to today’s balances. In spite of that, my numbers kept moving around. Ultimately, I figured out that an Invoice Matching transaction that is still in Work (not posted, still being edited) is treated on the report as if it’s complete. So if someone starts and saves an Invoice Match, that receiving is removed from the received/not invoiced report (ie, the subledger is affected WITHOUT a subledger posting) but the transaction is not in the GL until its posted. This creates a difference because the subledger is not really posted but the subledger report is showing as if it were posted and you’re stuck! My fix, was to include the work tables in my comparison. Using only GP tools, you need to make sure that there is no unposted invoice matching when comparing the sub to the GL. 2. There is a similar issue in AP. In our case, we see it when we create a Payables Voucher and on the same transaction, pay the voucher with a credit card. The payment appears as a transaction in the subledger, even though the voucher is still in the works. For us, this only presents an issue when processing Amex expense reports so for now, we just live with it for a couple days a month and compare the difference to the Amex payments that have been processed. There may be more of these little Work/Open oddities out there. I’ll let you know when I find some more. --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Putting the Fix in Fixed Assets - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-putting-the-fix-in-fixed-assets/ - Date: 2006-04-26 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article Fixed sporting events are bad. Fixed transmissions are good. Fixed Assets are …well… in between. Today I want to look at some potential issues in the Fixed Asset module and what you can do about it. I’m using version 8 but these items should apply backwards and forward for several versions. There haven’t been that many chages to FA. So here we go: - **The Fixed Asset module has it’s own calendar in Tools-Setup-Fixed Assets-Quarter.** You may think that this is no big deal, it’s used for the mid-quater convention, yada yada. BUT if your Fixed Asset calendar is different from your financial calendar, you can have a mess! What can happen is that if you run depreciation only for the current period, because the financial and FA periods don’t match, part of your depreciation may not flow to the GL! Oops. So if you’re on a fiscal calendar, double check your FA calendar too. Go on. Do it now we’ll wait. - **You think you have a problem with a Fixed Asset and the GL. Where do you look?** The Inquiry-Fixed Asset-Financial Detail windows is your best friend. The batch number in this window shows the GL interface batch. If you have gaps, the data didn’t go to the GL. (Of course, since you do account account recons you found and fixed this via a JE at month end. Didn’t you?) ![](/img/blogger/ce012ae2d961e773.png) - **Partial Retirments** Just so you understand what a partial retirement transactions does, here’s the scoop. Let’s say I have asset 100-1 and it contains Ferraris with a quantity of 5 (it was a special bulk price). When you total one of my Ferraris, I have to partially retire the asset since it has a quantity greater than one and you only totalled one of my Ferraris. When the partial retirement is done, GP creates a second asset behind the scenes to hold the retired portion. In this case asset 100-2 would be created and it would contain 1 retired Ferrari. Asset 100-1 has it’s quantity and cost reduced by the amount of the retired portion and it remains the active asset. When you look in the Retirements window, you see asset 100-1 with the partially retired flag set, but all you see is the active portion when you drill down on the asset id. To find out info about the retired portion, you have to go find the correct suffix for that asset and drill down on it via the regular FA inquiry window. More importantly, you totalled one of my Ferraris! --- ## Weekly Dynamic: Best Practice, Daily Bank Recons - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamic-best-practice-daily-bank-recons/ - Date: 2006-03-17 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article In his various accounting best practices books like [Fast Close](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0471708976/sr=8-1/qid=1142608012/ref=sr_1_1?%5Fencoding=UTF8) Stephen Bragg recommends reconciling bank data on a daily basis. This is actually very easy to do with DynamicsGP and Great Plains. This process will shorten your month end close since you don’t have to wait for the bank statement, and it will let you find and fix issues throughout the month, not just at month end. So how do you it? - **Option 1:** Use the Electronic Reconciliation module and get a special file from your bank every day. If you’re a large company dealing with large banks, this is a great option, but it’s not for everyone. - **Option 2:** Use your bank’s website and normal reconciliation. Admit it, you get your bank balance off of your bank’s website now so this is easy, even for little firms with small banks. Here are the steps: 1. Go to your bank’s website, get today’s posted balance and print out the daily transactions back to when you last got your statement. 2. Start a bank reconciliation process in DynamicsGP. 3. Enter today’s posted balance for the bank statement ending balance and use today’s date for the dates. 4. Check off cleared items and balance the statement to a zero difference. 5. When finished, click OK. DON’T CLICK RECONCILE! Clicking OK will save the reconciliations. 6. On the next day, repeat these steps for 1 day’s worth of transactions. 7. At month end, verify the totals with the statement and then click reconcile. The month end bank rec process is now minutes, not hours. There a few potential pitfalls to look out for: 1. There may be a few days at month end where you can’t reconcile into the next month until you have received the final statement. In this case you can either rely on the website as the final reconciling document or have a few days to make up early in the next month. Both options have problems, I’ve seen banks have website issues that cause the statement and website to not match, but this is pretty rare. However, Delaying a few days tends to break the nice daily balancing rythm you develop. There’s no perfect option, pick whichever one fits your business requirements. 2. Make sure you know where you left off from the day before. Often bank websites won’t let you print just one day, you have to print the whole screen which can overlap days. --- ## Weekly Gotcha – AP Void Posting Date - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-gotcha-ap-void-posting-date/ - Date: 2005-10-12 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Install, Upgrade & Admin - Type: original article This has a been a problem for a long time. Most Great Plains users are aware of it but some folks never quite get it. When you void an AP payment there are two possible steps: 1) Void the payment (Void Historical Transaction) 2) Void the voucher/invoice (Void Open Transaction) if you don’t want to pay this again. In both cases the screens look very similar. What’s not clear, is that the VOID DATE and POSTING DATE ***can be changed by the user***. Many times I’ve seen users try to post voids to closed periods or even worse, post to prior periods that should have been closed but weren’t. Now the financial statements change. YIKES! So remember, you change the posting and void dates to whatever is appropriate, it’s just not obvious. I wish MS would fix this. It’s a simple fix. I’ve done modifier changes to highlight these fields for clients who just didn’t get it. You shouldn’t have to customize this, how about a UI fix here guys! --- ## Light Posting this Week - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/light-posting-this-week/ - Date: 2005-09-19 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: original article I’m swamped with work work this week so it may be a light posting week and I don’t expect to get as much work done on the DynamicAccounting.net website as I would like. I have some SQL scripts and downloads ready to setup but I’m not sure I’ll have the time this week. Maybe I’ll cut back on those 6 hours of sleep a night! --- ## Weekly Feature: Account Rollup - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-feature-account-rollup/ - Date: 2005-09-19 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Reporting & BI, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article I stumbled on this little gem in v 7.5 so I don’t even know what version it was added in to. If you need to look at groups of accounts this is the inquiry for you. You can even perform calculations! What is it? Account Rollup is an inquiry that you build which allows you to see different GL accounts rolled up together. Additionally, you can perform calculations on those accounts. We use this for all kinds of things like: - What’s the Fixed Asset total across all divisions? - What’s the commission allocation based on sales? Those kinds of things. Yes FRx will do this, but freqently, I don’t want to launch FRx and run financial statements just to get a breakdown of my FA accounts. So how does this work? In Dynamics GP, select Inquiry->Financial->Account Rollup Enter an Option ID, tab and click yes to add the option. You set the number of columns you want to see up in the right side. If all you want is totals, one column is fine. For calculations, use at least 2 columns. In the center, you set the types of columns, but we’ll come back to that. At the bottom, you add criteria like accounts, departments, divisions, etc. UNLIKE OTHER GP criteria areas, you can multiple independent criteria here. So if you want to see Chicago and New York but not LA. You add Chicago, then add New York. Save and click redisplay. Controls on the right let you see net change or period balance totals. If you want to see what makes up the total number, select a month and click the blue column header. Now, to get really fancy, you can ad calculated columns to a rollup. Simply create or modify (with the button) a rollup. Change the **type** from Actual to Calculated. In the Selection column, click the **More Info** button. In v8.0 this is a little arrow. Back to my commission comment earlier. Let’s say, I accrue 8.9% of sale as a commission accrual. My first column is my monthly sales. So I’ll pick the only available column in the column box and hit the double arrows (>>) then add the multiply sign (\*) then in the constant box I’ll add .089 and hit the double arrows (>>). You formula now looks something like C1 \* 0.089. Save and refresh and you get a report with sales and the commission allocation for each month. This is great for all those estimates you do every month. You can just take the numbers and do a JE. --- ## Weekly Review: Extreme Makeover, JE edition - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-review-extreme-makeover-je-edition-2/ - Date: 2005-09-12 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Tips & Hidden Features - Type: original article Each week I’d like to cover a feature in GP. Some of them are new, others just underutilized. Ideally, I’d like to do this more than weekly but hey, I have a job. ***Extreme Makeover, JE Edition*** In version 8.0 Microsoft introduced Journal Entry corrections and copies. This is feature I’d been asking for for some time. I even came close to writing my own version several times. You now have the ability to undo a journal entry, easily, and with a complete audit trail. In **Transactions->Financial->General, select Correct**. You now have an option to **back out a Journal Entry** or **Back out a JE and create a correcting entry**. You will also need the JE number (you can look it up) and year of the entry you want to correct. What happens behind the scenes when you backout an entry is that GP creates a duplicate, opposite JE with a new JE number to offset the one you want to correct. If all you need to do is undo an entry, simply post your correction and you’re done. If you also select a correcting entry, the first entry created is the backout entry. When you post or save the backout entry, a second entry is created. This second entry is your original entry as a new, unposted JE that you can make changes to. Both the backout and the correction are normal JE’s that can be save to a batch, changed, posted, made reversing, etc. Some obvious uses: - *That batch of month end accruals was accidentally posted in next month.* Simply pull up the JE, do a correction to back it out of next month, and change the date on the correcting entry to the correct month. Post it all an you are in business. - *The 150 line JE keyed incorrectly by an intern.* Hopefully this was reviewed before posting, but if not, use this tool to backout the incorrect entry and make the intern fix the correcting entry (or re-key it, depending on how mad you are ;). A related feature is to **Copy** a JE. Same process, just click copy instead of correct. This is great when you need to create a JE just like the one you did last month! By default, Correction only works for transactions that originated in the General Ledger. However, the administrator can change this behavior. **Tools>Setup>Financial>General Ledger** now has new check boxes to control this functionality. Check “**Voiding/Correcting of Subsidiary Transactions**” and “**Back Out of Inter-company Transactions**” to allow for corrections of transactions originating in a sub-ledger. This a great feature, a critical feature, that the competition has had for a while. Now we’ve got it and I love it. But you have to be on v8.0 or better. This was one of the compelling features that pushed us to upgrade to 8.0. Detailed specifics can be found in GP Help.

Posting via batch would allow posting through the GL, i.e., posting to the subledger and GL without stopping. For most transaction types, posting via transaction would cause the transaction to stop at the GL and be reposted. This wasn’t exactly efficient and now it’s being addressed in GP 2018 R2.

One option is to add a password for posting GL batches in Tools->Setup>Posting. On the plus side, this lets anyone create a GL transactions but only those with the password can post. The downside is that transactions that would otherwise post through from a subledger, won’t. Another option that is often over-looked is to control who can post to the GL with security. This will still let anyone create GL entry but only those with proper posting permission can actually post a batch or transaction.

How does this apply to Dynamics GP? It’s exactly the same advice that I give clients for things like Bank Reconciliation, Fixed Asset processes and account balancing. It’s much easier to balance a bank account daily, process fixed assets to the GL when they are created and do a quick balance of subledgers to the GL daily. Problems are found quickly, month end work is significantly reduced and delegating tasks is simpler because the size of the task is smaller day to day. Quit making mountains out of mole hills. Catch up those big administrative routines and start working through them daily. --- ## SmartList Shows Duplicate Year End Journal Entry Distributions - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/smartlist-shows-duplicate-year-end-journal-entry-distributions/ - Date: 2010-03-09 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Year-End & 1099, Reporting & BI - Type: link to an external article - Source: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/developingfordynamicsgp/2010/03/07/smartlist-shows-duplicate-year-end-journal-entry-distributions/ David Musgrave has coverage of a recent situation where [SmartList Shows Duplicate Year End Journal Entry Distributions](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/developingfordynamicsgp/2010/03/07/smartlist-shows-duplicate-year-end-journal-entry-distributions/). --- ## Only Transactions that have special characters in the Number field are displayed in Bank Statement Reconciliation - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/only-transactions-that-have-special-characters-in-the-number-field-are-displayed-in-bank-statement-reconciliation/ - Date: 2010-03-05 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: link to an external article - Source: http://mohdaoud.blogspot.com/2010/03/only-transactions-that-has-special.html Mohammad Adour is wresting with [odd Bank Rec issue](http://mohdaoud.blogspot.com/2010/03/only-transactions-that-has-special.html "odd Bank Rec issue") in Dynamics GP. --- ## Fixed Asset Cube Webinar - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/fixed-asset-cube-webinar/ - Date: 2010-03-01 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Reporting & BI, Microsoft & the GP Ecosystem - Type: link to an external article - Source: http://demand.dynamicscare.com/?elqPURLPage=76 It’s not too late to register for [tomorrow’s webinar on I.B.I.S.’ Fixed Asset cube.](http://demand.dynamicscare.com/?elqPURLPage=76 " tomorrow’s webinar on I.B.I.S.’ Fixed Asset cube.")

Year end closing of GP isn’t nearly as fun as Christmas and yet it seems like it comes earlier every year too. [Victoria Yudin launches this year’s festivities](https://victoriayudin.com/2008/11/14/year-end-close-in-dynamics-gp/) with the first post I’ve seen on closing the 2008 year.

Thinking about year end close upsets my digestion. --- ## MDA Lives - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/mda-lives/ - Date: 2008-11-11 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Microsoft & the GP Ecosystem - Type: link to an external article - Source: https://mbs.microsoft.com/Cms/Templates/document/General.aspx?NRMODE=Published&NRNODEGUID=%7B7CAFE131-F7E0-407D-A7F7-BFA2AB22AF9D%7D&NRORIGINALURL=/partnersource/newsevents/news/mdgpmda.htm&NRCACHEHINT=Guest&wa=wsignin1.0 It was [announced today](https://mbs.microsoft.com/Cms/Templates/document/General.aspx?NRMODE=Published&NRNODEGUID=%7B7CAFE131-F7E0-407D-A7F7-BFA2AB22AF9D%7D&NRORIGINALURL=/partnersource/newsevents/news/mdgpmda.htm&NRCACHEHINT=Guest&wa=wsignin1.0) on Partnersource that Multidimensional Analysis will not be completely absorbed by Analytical Accounting but will continue as a part Dynamics GP. Originally, MDA was going to be rolled into AA and would go away as a stand alone product, but now they’ve decided not to do that. MDA will become part of AA for licensing purposes but MDA won’t get any additional functionality. So I guess its not really new life for MDA, more like suspended animation, but hey, that’s better than death! --- ## XBRL on MSDynamicsWorld - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/xbrl-on-msdynamicsworld/ - Date: 2008-07-18 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: link to an external article - Source: http://msdynamicsworld.com/story/bi-reporting/xbrl-compliance-goes-worldwide-get-head-start-microsoft-dynamics-gp-analytical-ac Mariano Gomez has a nice article on [Microsoft Dynamics GP and XBRL up at MSDynamicsWorld.com.](http://msdynamicsworld.com/story/bi-reporting/xbrl-compliance-goes-worldwide-get-head-start-microsoft-dynamics-gp-analytical-ac)Mariano also mentions the use of Analytical Accounting as part of the XBRL process. I don’t have the confidence in Analytical Accounting that he does, mainly because we’ve been burned too many times by corruption and other problems with AA. You don’t need AA for XBRL in FRx. Don’t let the fact that we disagree over a small part of this deter you from looking at XBRL. Also don’t think that just because you’re a private company you’ll be exempt. Banks and other institutions have pushed SOX style requirements down to private companies as well. With the current banking mess, I see banks looking at XBRL as a way to streamline getting loan compliance data to reduce some of their backend headcount. [This means XBRL will be coming to you too.](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2008/07/xbrl-train-is-rolling.html) --- ## Fix for Slow Correcting JE Lookups - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/fix-for-slow-correcting-je-lookups/ - Date: 2008-07-10 - Topics: Install, Upgrade & Admin, Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials - Type: link to an external article - Source: http://www.jivtesh.com/2008/07/correct-journal-entry-window.html When you do a correcting Journal Entry in GP, the lookup to find the entry to correct can be brutally slow. it’s so slow because it’s looking up every journal entry you’ve done in, like, forever. It’s so torturously slow that that the CIA is considering it for use at Guantanamo. Well, today [Jivtesh points us to a Microsoft Knowledge Base article](http://www.jivtesh.com/2008/07/correct-journal-entry-window.html) that can help fix that. KB 925326 provides a small SQL script that adds a non-clustered index to the GL20000 and GL30000 tables. That should help speed things up a bit. Of course, if you simply never made any mistakes, it would never be a problem. --- ## New Article: Financial Fast Close and GP - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/new-article-financial-fast-close-and-gp/ - Date: 2008-07-03 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials - Type: link to an external article - Source: http://msdynamicsworld.com/story/bi-reporting/six-best-practices-using-microsoft-dynamics-gp-improve-processes-and-save-time-cl My [new article](http://msdynamicsworld.com/story/bi-reporting/six-best-practices-using-microsoft-dynamics-gp-improve-processes-and-save-time-cl) is up on [MSDynamicsWorld.com](http://msdynamicsworld.com/). I took some of [Steve Bragg’s Fast Close](http://www.accountingtools.com) principles and applied them to the Financial portion of Dynamics GP. I’m expecting to do a few more of these looking at Sales, Purchasing, Inventory and Fixed Assets as well. [I hope you like it.](http://msdynamicsworld.com/story/bi-reporting/six-best-practices-using-microsoft-dynamics-gp-improve-processes-and-save-time-cl) After all, if I can help shorten your close, you’ll have more time to read the blog! --- ## AP/AR to GL Reconcile - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/apar-to-gl-reconcile/ - Date: 2008-02-14 - Topics: Payables & Receivables, General Ledger & Financials - Type: link to an external article - Source: http://rosebizincgp.blogspot.com/2008/02/reconcile-to-gl-easily.html Steve Chapman of Rose Business solutions has a nice write up on the new [AP and AR reconcile to GL functionality.](http://rosebizincgp.blogspot.com/2008/02/reconcile-to-gl-easily.html) Keep in mind that there appears to be a [bug in the AP functionality](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2008/02/ap-to-gl-reconcile-problem-in-dynamics.html) if you pay items with a credit card in GP but I think that ultimately, this will prove to be a very useful utility. --- ## GP 10+SQL 2005+Intercompany+2008 = Opportunity for Improvement - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/gp-10sql-2005intercompany2008-opportunity-for-improvement/ - Date: 2008-01-04 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Install, Upgrade & Admin, SQL & Data - Dynamics GP versions mentioned: GP 10 - Type: link to an external article - Source: http://www.acemicrotech.com/ From my friend [Tom Karpowich](http://www.acemicrotech.com/): *There is a bug in GP 10 when using SQL 2005 & Intercompany. Basically, Intercompany does not work in the calendar year 2008 without the fix. The Dynamics support team has suggested that a hot fix will be released in the near future.* The error is: DB error 8114 when posting intercompany trx Tom and the MS team spent a leisurely (not) 5 hours working their way through this so you don’t have to. If this helps you, you owe Tom a drink at Convergence. I’m sorry, that’s just the way the world works. The [SQL Fix](https://app.box.com/shared/06act4fksc) is a bit big to post here so [I’ll add it as a link](https://app.box.com/shared/06act4fksc) and put a link in the downloads on the right. As always, apply any code you find here at your own risk. This is not an official MS fix, you’ll have to wait for a hot fix for that. --- ## Weekly Dynamic:Change the Fixed Asset Calendar at Year End - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/weekly-dynamicchange-the-fixed-asset-calendar-at-year-end/ - Date: 2007-02-05 - Topics: Tips & Hidden Features, General Ledger & Financials, Year-End & 1099 - Type: link to an external article - Source: http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2006/04/weekly-dynamic-putting-fix-in-fixed.html I don’t think that validating the Fixed Asset calendar is in the Year End checklist for Dynamics GP, but it should be. I’ve talked about the [Fixed Asset calendar before](http://msdynamicsgp.blogspot.com/2006/04/weekly-dynamic-putting-fix-in-fixed.html) and why it’s important to make sure that it matches your fiscal calendar. At year end, you want to make sure that you’ve created the Fixed Asset calendar for the new year. Otherwise your January depreciation run will fail with a date related error. So when you ensure that you have your 2007 calendar created and correct before closing 2006, take a look at your FA calendar as well. The FA calendar is set by quarters and is located at Tools->Setup->Fixed Assets->Quarter. You also need to make sure that the current fiscal year is correct in the FA books. Tools->Setup->Fixed Assets->Book. --- ## Year End Close Out Video on, well… the Year End Close! - URL: https://dynamicaccounting.net/year-end-close-out-video-on-well-the-year-end-close/ - Date: 2006-12-20 - Topics: General Ledger & Financials, Year-End & 1099 - Type: link to an external article - Source: https://corp.sts.microsoft.com/adfs/ls/?wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=urn%3ambs2.microsoft.com&wctx=rm%3d0%26id%3dpassive%26ru%3d%252fUserInfo%252fSelectProfile.aspx%253fReturnURL%253dhttps%25253a%25252f%25252fmbs2.microsoft.com%25252fKnowledgebase%25252fKBDisplay.aspx%25253fWTNTZSMNWUKNTMMYPKZPWNYYQNZZXYLWMRZSOMXVSYSLXRKVXVNRNNPQXZVWVNXKSTZQLQQZLXUXLKZRSRSKTNKMOMPXOKWR&wct=2016-04-17T01%3a16%3a13Z Can we show you how to close the year in Dynamics GP in 5 minutes? Not a chance. However, the newest Dynamic Sherpa video does give you a 5 minute overview of the year end close process so you get an idea of what to expect. Remember, don’t rely on the video, it’s not detailed enough, use the [GP checklist from Customersource](https://corp.sts.microsoft.com/adfs/ls/?wa=wsignin1.0&wtrealm=urn%3ambs2.microsoft.com&wctx=rm%3d0%26id%3dpassive%26ru%3d%252fUserInfo%252fSelectProfile.aspx%253fReturnURL%253dhttps%25253a%25252f%25252fmbs2.microsoft.com%25252fKnowledgebase%25252fKBDisplay.aspx%25253fWTNTZSMNWUKNTMMYPKZPWNYYQNZZXYLWMRZSOMXVSYSLXRKVXVNRNNPQXZVWVNXKSTZQLQQZLXUXLKZRSRSKTNKMOMPXOKWR&wct=2016-04-17T01%3a16%3a13Z) and have a Happy New Year!
