Week 11: Do you Know? Series of the Week

After taking a quick two week hiatus (not because of a lack of features, but for a lack of time to get these done!), the “Do you know?” series of the week is back! In this series, we give tips, tricks, and general comments around features and functions that already exist in Microsoft Dynamics GP. 

Our challenge to you is…how much do you really know about Dynamics GP?

This week the feature is the new Report Center functionality introduced in Dynamics GP 10.  Included as a part of Business Portal, this feature is a great one for the out-of-the-box library pages that are setup for Finance, Sales, Purchasing, Inventory, Payroll, HR, Manufacturing, and Executives.  Here is a quick screenshot of the Report Center…

You can deploy folders and SharePoint security groups for individual companies as you see above, and each report folder can hold various report types, such as FRx Reports, Excel Reports, Crystal Reports, SRS Reports, PDF files, and more.  You can also schedule reports for publishing to this Report Center using the Dynamics GP Report Scheduler feature.  It can be that one-stop shop for employees outside of Dynamics GP to access critical information that helps them be more productive and make informed decisions.  We like to call that “Extending the Reach” around here!
