Deb’s Favorite DYN GP Feature
11/15/11For an admittedly rather biased GP consultant, it was quite a chore for me to pick just one favorite feature in GP. I thought about SmartList first…but that seemed just a bit too obvious. Or maybe the ability to link SmartList results to Reminders…again very cool, but not quite it. I considered some of the tools in the Professional Service Tools Library like the RM Transaction Unapply…I mean, who hasn’t wanted to unapply a cash receipt the day after running Paid Transaction Removal? But what I decided to go with was the Reconcile to GL function added in GP 10.
So why did I choose this one? Well, quite simply because of its “bang-for-your-buck” value. If you have ever had a situation where your AR or AP balance didn’t match the GL account balance, then you know that finding the difference can be like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack! Not fun! With Reconcile to GL, the search for the offending transaction(s) is effortless. Here’s how it works:
- Go to Financial >> Routines >> Reconcile to GL.
- Choose the Module to be reconciled. (Payables or Receivables Management)
- Select the Date range to be reconciled. *Note: you can even reconcile historical periods.
- Select the Account(s) to be reconciled to.
- Click Process to generate the reconciliation report.
The reconciliation report will automatically generate in Excel, and any unmatched transactions will be listed right at the top of the report. How easy is that?!
…and how about a little sneak-peek into the next release of GP? Reconcile to GL is being expanded to include Bank Reconciliation and Inventory! Stay Tuned!! Yay!
Happy Reconciling! Deb
