GP good for big company

We are a local restaurant chain. We used GP for everything except food cost. It was just too big a program for what we needed. It covered billing, payroll, and end of year processes. We had to buy the extra package for W2s every year.
  • Account capacity
  • Reports and Smart Lists
  • Lots of add-ons products
  • Licenses are strict
  • Can't just delete transactions, must reverse journals too (not automated)
  • Updates are not coming, becoming stagnant
  • Some features require in depth training or outside contractors
Probably best for a large business where each department deals with each account. Too big for a small office where one person bills everything.

Microsoft GP is used for all accounting and finance bookkeeping and processing. Only finance uses GP but the other departments use another medical billing software that gets imported into GP. GP access is limited because it is not necessary for nurses and staff to use outside of Finance. The problem it addresses is consolidating our financial records for reporting and audit purposes. GP is the foundation of financial record keeping and works well. My team would keep GP if we could but Microsoft is no longer supporting so we are switching in 2020.
  • Easy to navigate.
  • Recording transactions is clear.
  • Smart list feature is perfect for reporting.
  • Easy to switch to other entities.
  • Does not always communicate with other valuable programs.
  • The program can glitch and will sometimes freeze from time to time.
  • Is not supported in the future, so long term use is not an option.
Microsoft GP has done a great job helping us organize our finances and create useful reports for other departments to understand their budgets. On the other hand, GP can feel a little dated and doesn't use as many features as we would like.

It is used across the entire organization. One of the problems that I have experienced is that it does not allow for users to delete previous entries into cards in direct deposit, and other areas like deductions. The accounts or information just shows as "inactive".

Also, it does not allow users to delete previous supervisor names and we are left with a list of names of managers that have been promoted, moved to a different department or are no longer with the company.

  • I like that I can switch between employees when there are different windows open.
  • I like that I can run various reports and save them for future viewing.
  • I like the customization of GP and how it fits our organizations needs.
  • The tax data entry is unnecessarily difficult.
  • Having to click save and enter hire date and reason for change after each entry is very time consuming.
If you are looking for an easy to use, and very user-friendly program, Microsoft Dynamics GP would be a good fit. Data fields can be customized to fit your needs and it can easily be utilized throughout your organization. It's not glitchy, and very rarely has any crash issues.

MS Dynamics is primarily used by the accounting department. It is a huge upgrade from our previous Green Screen DOS based software. Smartlist and the Excel button are some of our favorite features.
  • Get information out though Smart List -- super easy.
  • Import large data such as purchase card detail.
  • Copy and paste short journal entries.
  • Sometimes system gets hung up and takes a while to troubleshoot.
Microsoft Dynamics GP is well suited for a medium sized company. It can handle multiple companies and large amounts of journal entries and reporting. It is easy to export information and send to a requestor.

Microsoft GP Review

Rainbow uses GP to house our general ledger, track orders, and sales, and to generate smart lists for expenses/revenues across all business units. It is a key product in our day-to-day business operations, with great customization abilities.
  • Generate smart lists for tracking expenses & sales
  • User controlled accounting transactions - it does what you tell it to do
  • It would be great if it was easier to apply accrual percentages to existing JEs
  • Easier exports to Excel/other reporting tools
  • Easier integration with payroll software
Great for businesses with 50+ employees working with multiple revenue streams.

The product is being used as our ERP solution and is used by most in the organization. We have contracted with a preferred vendor for the manufacturing and sales estimating/quoting module as the standard module does not meet our specific needs for material traceability. We also use third party services for payroll, HR and timekeeping which we are currently looking into bringing in-house using this product. Quality and expense reporting are also add-on modules.
  • ACH payment processing works well.
  • Smart list capabilities
  • Dashboard capabilities
  • Reporting is insufficient.
  • Manufacturing module insufficient.
  • Costing features don't seem to be well configured. Landed cost is particularly problematic for us.
  • Seems to be easy for records to go astray. Difficult to clear items from reports in AP and purchase receipts.
  • Would like to see a workflow purchase requisition solution resident in GP.
Manufacturing module insufficient

Microsoft Dynamics GP is being used by the accounting department as the books of records for all financial reporting. Its our accounting system of record.
  • Ability to integrate files
  • Smart Lists reporting
  • Cannot run a combined trial balance for 2 companies
  • FX functionality is lumpy
Need to ask how Microsoft Dynamics GP can handle foreign subsidiaries and how you will want the reporting established.
