Depreciation - When things go Wrong

Sometimes we set up depreciation and the CPA firm decides it should have been done a different way. Of course, that information comes to us at least two years after we set it up. It's the nature of the beast; they're accountants, they can't help it.

The following scenarios will be covered over the course of four posts:

• Wrong 1st yr Convention
• Basis Reduction Required
• Wrong Depreciation Method - fully depreciated as of previous year end
• Wrong Depreciation Method - not fully depreciated as of previous year end

Stay tuned.

Until next post!

Use PSTL without being 'sa'

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to perform PSTL activities without having to log in as 'sa'?

Vote for the above post if you agree. Now that we all have this tool, it's becoming more of an issue. With security being such an issue this day and age, casually asking for the 'sa' password so that we can change a Vendor ID seems rather extreme.

It's time to give the Controller the right to control the accounting system's details without the ability (and liability) to drop all of the company's databases.

This must be 'hard-coded' into the Dexterity script, let's vote to get that coding removed!

Live the Dream!

Be sure to Invoice Match every Receipt

I'm on a roll tonight. I love version 2013, but still there are some basic items I think need to be addressed. If you think so too, cast your vote by using the link above.

Are you tired of your Accrued Purchases account not matching your Received but not Invoiced report? How many times has a vendor payable been entered without matching it to the receipt?

Wouldn't it be nice if Dynamics GP warned you if you were entering a payables transaction for a vendor that has an outstanding PO or Uninvoiced receipt?

Too often a vendor invoice comes into the company and it's entered into A/P without going through the invoice matching procress in POP. We need a method for the user to be alerted if a vendor's invoice is entered to the Payables transaction entry window while there is an outstanding uninvoiced receipt.

The risk is that we end up with uninvoiced POs or worse, the vendor is paid twice by mistake.

Let me know what you think, or if you have devised a non-policy workaround.

Until next post!

Perform a 'Credit Card' run like a Check Run

https://connect.microsoft.com/dynamicssuggestions/feedback/details/763004/perform-a-credit-card-run-just-like-a-check-run

If you want to pay your vendor invoices with a credit card in a batch AND be able to reconcile the credit card statement like you do a bank statement, please vote for the above product enhancement by clicking on the shortcut above.

Paying vendors with a credit card is the standard for many companies. You can get downloads from the credit card companies and import vendor payables. We need to keep track of the actual vendors for better expense management.

The problem is that the only way we can pay vendor invoices with a credit card is to enter a manual payment. A manual payment is not a viable solution for a company with more than just a few credit card transactions.

We need to be able to use a credit card as the payment source for a 'check run'. As part of that process, we need to be able to reconcile the credit card source with the credit card bill much like we do with bank statements and checkbooks.

If you agree, please vote for the enhancement using the link above.

Thanks!

Until next post!

Product Suggestion. Add item to all sites

Multi-site users Unite!

Dynamics GP allows you to assign all items to a single site, but it does not let you assign an item to ALL sites.

I think it's time we had a window where we could pick an item, or a group of items and assign them to the site(s) of our choice with the click of a button. If you think so too, vote for the suggestion using the link below.

https://connect.microsoft.com/dynamicssuggestions/feedback/details/763003/assign-an-item-to-all-sites#tabs

Let's get these details cleaned up Microsoft, we have the best product - let's prove it.

Until next post
