  • Accounting Reports
  • Tracking of product sales and orders
  • Shipping packages and invoicing
  • tax reporting
Cons
  • Microsoft Dynamics GP could use some improvement on the fees it charges for maintenance or purchasing new licenses
  • Providing updates to older versions to allow for integrations and importing updates
  • The outdated maintenance does not allow us to easily bulk import price increases without using specialty coding provided by our engineers to complete these increases on the back end

GP good for big company

  • The W2 printing at the end of the year is very easy. I love that it also prints out all those pesky health insurance tax forms!
  • Employee management is made very simple with all the information you can store in GP.
  • Processing payables is very easy with GP. It's perfect for multi-person processes, too. The AP clerk can input the invoices into the systems, and then the comptroller can approve & print the checks.
Cons
  • There's so many options and buttons that sometimes a simple task can seem very complicated.
  • It is not very intuitive at first. It takes some digging and messing around with before you know what you're doing.
  • You can have so many modules (HR, payroll, etc), and while they should talk to each other, sometimes the data gets out of sync.

  • Great Plains started as back office/accounting, and that is still it's strong suit.
  • SQL and the GP programming language, Dexterity, provide a robust, scalable, and stable platform with well documented maintenance and repair procedures. Relatively easy to manage, tune, and support.
  • Microsoft support for GP verges on "particularly well". Doesn't quite get there but good enough once you know what you're doing
  • Strong partner network, including the GP User Group (GPUG)
Cons
  • Number of windows required for some functions- lots of clicking
  • Complex interface for users who work in different modules
  • Communication from Microsoft about future of GP as they continue to promote Business Central and Dynamics 365- confusion and concern among users and partners about how long GP will get first-level support and development.
  • The web client flat-out sucks, you will need RDS or Citrix to support remote users. If you stick with desktop clients it enormously increases your workload as every update requires you update every client. RDS is the way to go just to simplify the update procedure, but RDS is an additional licensing and support cost. Still more cost effective to not use the desktop client.
  • Reporting- you will almost certainly have to get a third-party reporting program- Management Reporter is complex and squirrely, the built-in Report Writer is a nightmare to work with. Word Templates work well but aren't user-friendly and because they get all their data from Report Writer sometimes just doing a simple change requires a lot of skill and time.
