Here’s a new Dynamics GP feature which was added in the GP 18.4 release – how to save inquiry window sort options.
This option is available in the following windows: Receivables – Transaction by Customer, Receivables – Transaction by Document, Sales Item, Payables – Transaction by Vendor, Payables – Transaction by Document, Bank Reconciliation – Checkbook Register, Checkbook Balance.
Select your default Sort by option then click on View > Save Window Preferences.
In addition to the sort options being saved, the “Include” Type (Work/Open/History) will be saved, along with the size of the window if you change it.
These saved default settings are per individual user and are system wide, so the saved setting will default for any company that user logs into.
Hope that learning how to save inquiry window sort options is helpful for you! For GP technical support or help with upgrades, please contact CSSI.
Here is an easy way to find everywhere that a particular dollar amount posted in GP. Maybe an aging report doesn’t tie out to the corresponding GL account. If you’re lucky, the amount of the difference could be one transaction. Look for that amount with another Financial Accounts Transactions SmartList.
Open SmartList and expand the Financial folder then the Account Transactions folder.
Start with an existing list that contains the columns you want displayed in this new list.
Click on the Search button. Filter on Debit Amount or Credit Amount. Add a Date Range filter, if needed. If you first searched on Debit Amount and didn’t get any results, try searching on Credit Amount next.
Click on OK to view results.
Remember, you can always double-click on a row to drill-down to the transactions.
Click on Favorites to save the new list with a new name.

Do you know how to tighten the reins on what can post where in GP?
A control account is an account within the general ledger that corresponds to a subsidiary ledger, such as Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Cash and Inventory. Normally, general journal entries should not be posted to these accounts because then they will no longer tie out to subsidiary reports.
You can prevent users from posting to these accounts by going to Financial > Cards > Account and unchecking the “Allow Account Entry” checkbox.
If a user tries to post a journal entry to this account, they will get the message below.
These accounts can still be posted to through the subsidiary module. And you can go back to Account Maintenance and temporarily recheck that box as needed.

Do you have inventory items that you would like removed? Did you know that there is a process to accomplish this in Dynamics GP? Here’s how:
You can start preparing items to be removed during the year-end process by changing the item type to Discontinued. Go to Inventory > Cards > Item. Change the Type to Discontinued.
Items are tracked the same as Sales Inventory items in that you can still sell Quantities On Hand. You can also enter adjustments for the item and can delete the item when the quantity reaches zero.
You can also remove Discontinued items during the Inventory Year-End process.
Mark this option to remove the records for discontinued items that have been completely sold. Items assigned the discontinued item type will be removed from the item records during the year-end closing process, unless there are quantities of the item, or one of the following is true:
Please contact CSSI for more GP help. We’d be glad to help with your questions, and provide Great Plains support.
