(1-5 of 5)Microsoft GP for your financial needs
- A really nice user interface that allows individuals who may not be familiar with financial platforms to easily learn processes.
- Catches mistakes made in payables and receivables uploads so you can correct them before they become a problem.
- Quick access to uploaded journal entries so you can look into problems quickly.
- At times, GP slows down because of a large upload that is occurring. It would be nice if there could be a way to fix this.
- A way to void payments and transaction entries at the same time so there are less steps.
- A clear way to see who entered what in transaction entries and JE's so we don't have to run an IDS every time.

- We've been able to track travel expenses to see where we are overspending and cut costs.
- It is the sole way we record all financials and has really been a fairly simple interface to use.
Decade long user of Microsoft Dynamics GP
- User friendly interface
- Able to be extended into multiple areas of your business
- One feature we have been using for a few years is EFT for payables - it has significantly reduced the time spent paying vendors and reduced our check printing and mailing costs. It is very easy to setup and use.
- search functionality could be improved within native GP functionality - we use Rockton Smartfill to improve search capabilities.

- We have used GP for 10 years which is significantly longer than we most software tools.
- Bank rec, EFT for payables and Smartfill have significantly reduced processing time for our accounting team.
- Safepay reduces our fraud risk
5 people within the Finance team use GP for all general ledger activities and for Receivables and Payables.
An additional 20 employees use GP to review time and expense billing to our clients.
Chief Financial Officer
- FRx is a very simple third party report writer that makes report running so easy and straight forward. But it can also use more advanced features such as reporting trees so multiple sets of financials can be chained together.
- The allocation accounts are a great feature of GP. It makes the process of allocating salaries and other expenses when necessary a breeze. If your organization does any type of expense sharing across entities, departments, etc, consider using GP to do that.
- Overall ease of use. I absolutely love GP. I am a Microsoft Certified Professional in Version 9. It is very intuitive, extremely easy to navigate, simple to set up, and easy to maintain. It has great reporting features, has a simple budget import/export feature, and is truly the best GL package on the market.
- With respect to the allocations, once the expense is entered into the allocation account, you lose the ability to run any detail on just the total of the expense. It would be nice if you could run a trial balance on the allocation accounts the same way you can with regular accounts.
- I've always thought security set up could be a bit simpler. It actually has gotten better through the years. Specifically, with eight separate entities, it would be nice to have a "master" setup where you could call up one group entity, assign the users rights, and then be finished. Currently, whenever I have a new user, I have to call up each individual entity and select all of the features I want the user to have. That means I have to do eight steps for each user.

- For me, I think the biggest positive of GP is it's reliability and the fact that I don't even really think about our systems. What I mean is it isn't something that constantly troubles me so much that it interrupts my productivity.
- It has helped us become more efficient and provide faster, more accurate results.
- Any negatives that we experience are the direct result of our systems not being integrated. We use a Patient Accounting Program to do our billing, accounts receivable, and inventory management and none of those systems talk to GP. Our deficiencies always fall in those areas, which is not a limitation of GP.
- Payables
- Financials
- Allocations
- Allocations
- We need to create interfaces from our external payroll provider and our patient accounting system.
- Entering and paying invoices
- Running financial reports, general ledger account details
- Setting up new entities, creating new reports in FRx
- Allocation Accounts
- Security settings can be a challenge
- Currently there is no way to run reports on the activity of allocation accounts
Basic general ledger needs
- Detailed expense tracking
- Unitary accumulation and reporting (operating statistics)
- Statistical reporting is troublesome, not very robust
- Management Reporter can cause challenges to getting the data required; requires a super expert user to figure out. We have been fortunate in having a personal friend as an expert, otherwise we would end up paying exhorbitant prices to design what should be routine reports.
