Weekly Dynamic: Suggested Sales Items

Sales, Purchasing & InventoryTips & Hidden FeaturesGP 2013

Archived post from 2013. Dynamics GP and the links it points to have changed since; check current documentation before relying on version-specific steps.

GP 2013 has a new suggested sales items feature. In GP you setup items to be suggested when an item is purchased. So if someone buys a printer, the SOP transaction will suggest a cable or extra ink to go along with the printer.

In Item Maintenance windows there is a new button, Suggested Items. Click the button and added the suggested items. You can also control where the suggestion will occur, on Quotes, Orders, Invoices or Backorders.

What it won’t do for you is determine what to suggest.  However, two years a go I posted code for a shopping basket analysis to show items frequently bought together. You could use that to figure out what to suggest.
