Transitioning From On-Premise to Cloud ERP Solutions | 360° ERP Blog
Panormal Consulting explores some of the considerations when Transitioning From On-Premise to Cloud ERP Solutions
From point number 1, Recognize that risk will shift away from technology to the business.
"...As a result, CIOs and CFOs are forced to spend more time addressing organizational change management and training issues since the solutions can’t be easily changed to fit business needs, increasing the pressure on the organization to change its business processes and people."
hmm...this sounds a little like my thoughts at MSDynamicsWorld.

Weekly Review: Specific Item Costing
I ran into a situation recently where a client needed specific item costing
for each product that they sell.
This is most common for serialized items where
there is a single item number but specific costs need to be applied for each
serialized item.
In a simple example, consider a dealership where each car model is an item number. We might have 15 MINI Cooper's on the lot in various trim models from stripped down to fully loaded but each one is a different cost with a different serial (VIN) number. You can't average the costs of the fully loaded and the stripped down models and you sure can't use FIFO or LIFO. [I'm not suggesting this is the way to run a dealership. It's an example.] You have to account for the specific cost of each car and relieve that cost when the car sells.
Dynamics GP can handle this but there are a few things that you need to know
to make this work right:
[Update: Lot Tracking works the same way]
- The item must be using FIFO Perpetual or LIFO Perpetual valuation.
- The items have to have serial numbers.
- When you sell an item, the correct cost WILL NOT show on the screen or on any edit lists.
- The correct cost WILL SHOW on the posting reports.

Dynamic Future - Vote - Resize the Left Pane on Smartlists
This week's proposed enhancement to Dynamics GP underscores why it's important check for existing suggestions before creating one. I know that the search on the Connect site could use some work but for the very simple suggestion that the the left pane of the SmartList window (the one with the Smartlists, not the one with resulting data) should be resizable. There are currently at least three suggestions totally eight (80) votes across the three. I 've suggested that these be merged but we're going to pick one to vote on.
When making the SmartList window full size, the left hand side takes up an inordinate amount of room but it can't be resized. It can't be shrunk to get more room for data. I would like to encourage you to vote to add this functionality into the next version of Dynamics GP.
This functionality has been requested in items 531731 (39 votes) , 670303 (11 votes), and 549102 (30 votes). Thanks to everyone who created these, let's see if we can really emphasize that we want this fixed.

Weekly Dynamic: Receivables Management Unapply Tool
For years now I've been recommending the use of Paid Transaction Removal for AR to move paid items to history and improve both AR and Collections management performance. One of the problems with this approach is that it it's difficult to unapply a payment after Paid Transaction. Now that the Professional Services Tools Library is free, this gets to be a whole lot easier.
PSTL includes a Receivables Management Unapply tool designed to unapply payments from the history table and allow user to apply them to other transctions.
The tool is really easy to use, simply run the Receivables Management Unapply tool, enter the Customer, find the item to unapply and an uncheck the box. The system will ask if you really want to unapply or just see a report. Indicate that you want to unapply and that's it.
A report does print with specifics. There are a few caveats and specifics around discounts, writeoffs and Multi-currency so be sure to read the help file included with PSTL.
