5 Reasons to Consider BI360 over Management Reporter for Microsoft Dynamics GP
When it comes to reporting out of Dynamics GP, there is a veritable smorgasbord of options available to you, the end user. Although it may be tempting to opt to use Microsoft's Management Reporter 2012 as it comes bundled with your GP license, Management Reporter may not be the best option depending on your or your organization's individual needs. FMT Consultants implements and supports a variety of third-party report writer tools for Dynamics GP reporting, and here are 5 reasons why you should consider Solver's BI360. 1. Excel-Based User Interface Most people in the ERP space are familiar with Excel. In fact, for many users, report writing tools only exist to export data out of Dynamics GP into Excel so that it can be further manipulated into final reports. So why not build your reports in Excel to begin with? Enter BI360. BI360 is an Excel add-in that allows the […]
Budgeting and Forecasting with Prophix Part 2 – Creating Budget Templates
Recap Welcome Back! In Part 1 of this blog series, we started our conversation about using the power of Prophix’s corporate performance management (CPM) software to gain efficiencies and improve accuracy in the budgeting and planning processes by easily creating multiple budget scenarios, called versions. We discussed how Prophix allows you to build new versions based on any combination of historical data and previously created planning scenarios. Once the new version is created, the finance team can utilize the other tools in Prophix to develop consistent and secure budget templates to be distributed to the department heads. Managers can then populate designated fields and return the templates. Upon approval, Prophix then imports the templates and automatically incorporates the new data into the appropriate budget version. The finance team monitors this process in Prophix’s Workflow Manager which will be detailed in a future post. This second blog post illustrates the steps […]
5 Common Sales Tax Compliance Errors Found by Auditors
This is a reposting from www.avalara.com If South Dakota, Colorado, and Connecticut are any indication, states are starting to publicize common sales tax management errors. Though they provide a road map for sales tax compliance, these lists are by no means exhaustive. Rules, rates, and boundaries vary between states and localities, but one thing is certain: sales tax is complicated, and the road to compliance is bumpy and long. Here are five common errors and what you can do about them. 1. Under-reporting sales or use tax due to poor record keeping. Manually collecting rates, tracking rules, or following boundary changes can lead to errors. Even savvy tax managers with accurate spreadsheets and regular Department of Revenue updates, have difficulty keeping accurate records. Many companies choose to automate sales tax within their financial systems to lower audit risk. 2. Not remitting use tax on items taken from inventory for business […]

New in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015: Project Employee Expense Reports
Tired of managing expenses on multiple platforms, logging in and out of Business Portal and PDK (Personal Data Keeper), followed by approving and recording the transactions into Dynamics GP? Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) 2015 now provides new features to help you centralize time entry and expense reporting - all within the Dynamics GP application. Historically, employees would manage their time entries and detail through business portal. Once completed, the user would submit their time for approval. A manager or reviewer needed to log in to PDK, which allowed them to review, alter and update the employee’s time entry. At this point, the import utility needed to be run in order to port the time to GP. As you can probably imagine, this is a cumbersome task. And having to manage multiple time sheets, applications, and logins to various applications can easily get confusing. With Dynamics GP 2015 employees can […]
