Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Dynamics GP
We use Dynamics GP mostly as an accounting software to count for our raw materials and finished good products that are made and sold. We capture the cost of goods, customers, goods sold, etc. We utilize the system for manufacturing orders as a way to capture the cost of goods. Our customer service team places orders in GP through customer accounts. We also use a lot of custom reports to get additional information about goods and materials we have on hand and for planning for manufacturing and material ordering.
- Supply chain management - keeps track of materials and goods on hand and the demand planner is simple and easy to use.
- Manufacturing - material requirements planning is always keeping tabs on the inventory and what may be needed; bill of materials is easy to use; manufacturing order processing gives us an easy way to track materials consumed.
- Certain areas can only be accessed by one individual at a time (Material Requirements Planning) which can cause some issues when an individual leaves the screen open and then another person is unable to work on something if needed.
- Reporting is not intuitive. It can be difficult to find what you are looking for in a report.
- When updating items (ex: if you discontinue an item) you have to go through several different screens to actually have the item discontinued and removed from planning.
- Positive impact - it empowers our users to research inventory and dig deeper to find information
- It is not intuitive and difficult to use until you have learned the system over several months.
