This post is extremely late, but I wanted to get it out there anyway for those that have just concluded their last 2019 payrolls for the year.
The Canadian Payroll 2019 year end tax updates for Dynamics GP were released on December 18th. Here are some links to get you what you need for this year end.
Continue reading “Canadian Payroll 2019 Year End Update”In lieu of a #TipTuesday post, today’s post is a heads up for planning for this year end’s tax updates. With the changes to the product names earlier this year – i.e. dropping the “year” number from the name – there are some ripple effects that some customers are only starting to realize will happen this year end. Ideally your VAR/partner has been already communicating some of this to you but if not, this may help you.
Continue reading “Year End Tax Updates – plan ahead!”Today’s #TipTuesday post is the last in my mini-series of SmartList tips for Dynamics GP. I’m going to walk through a very simplistic example of an export from an Account Transactions smartlist, to Excel, where a macro will do some basic formatting and create a formula for Net Amount.
The method I show below is just one way to do this, and it’s a mini end-to-end example that you can follow if this is your first time using this feature. The intent of SmartList Export Options is to automate repetitive tasks. If you export SmartLists a lot and continually do the same things to the exported file, then read this post to see how you might be able to automate part of your work with that particular export. While the example is simplistic, the options are fairly limitless with what you could do with VBA in Excel!

Continue reading “How to copy budgets”Today’s #TipTuesday is a detour from my recent SmartList tips for Dynamics GP, and I’m going back to Excel for this one.
I have been working on a project recently where some data validation is needed to ensure that user-entered data on some forms is valid. I want to have some visual validation for Accounting when reviewing these forms prior to uploading the data into Dynamics GP to determine in advance if the G/L Accounts exist, or if the Job/Project and/or Cost Code/Category exists. In my use-case, I can’t use the built-in Data Validation features as the lists would be too lengthy to be manageable, so the fields are simple text fields, prone to errors and typos.
I want an easy way to highlight invalid entries before proceeding further in the process, during the review stage. Specifically, I want to use Conditional Formatting to highlight anything that can be validated if it isn’t in various lists (of accounts, jobs, cost codes etc.).
Continue reading “Excel tip – is X in the list?”Today’s #TipTuesday article is yet another SmartList tip. The past few weeks, I have been focused on small aspects of SmartList since I love this tool so much! Today I’ll be talking about searching & filtering in SmartLists.
Continue reading “SmartList Tips – search”Today’s #TipTuesday topic is still related to SmartLists, the subject I’ve been writing a few of these about the past few Tuesdays! My topic is SmartList Favorites, which will be a bit shorter than the others as there is only so much one can write about it!
PS, unrelated side note: being Canadian, it’s killing me inside that I have to keep typing “favorites” instead of “favourites” but I know for SEO and all that stuff if users are searching for the proper term with respect to SmartLists they will be looking for the US spelling. You win some, you lose some, eh? 😉
Continue reading “SmartList Tips – favorites”Today’s #TipTuesday post is the third in my series of tips on using SmartLists in Dynamics GP. The first two posts were around the “basics” as I call them and then printing and exporting. Today’s topic is working with columns.
Continue reading “SmartList Tips – working with columns”Today’s #TipTuesday is a continuation from last week, where I covered some of the basics around SmartLists: terminology, security, sorting & resizing columns, using the GoTo, and statuses.
In this post I plan to cover a few more things that I didn’t fit: more of the commands on the toolbar (Refresh, Stop, Print, Excel & Word) plus a bit more detail around exporting to Excel.
Continue reading “SmartList Tips – printing & exporting”I am in the early stages of a set of tips around the use of SmartList in Dynamics GP. Today I was writing one for this coming Tuesday and in doing the prep work to get screenshots etc. ready, I was doing some exports. One thing led to another, and I realized I should include a screenshot of what the toolbar looks like when you use Export Solutions, one of the future topics I plan on covering. I created a super simple Export Solution to format an Account Transactions list and create a Net Amount column. It was pretty basic and off I went to test it and start putting the process together in screenshots. I tested it, and it didn’t work! What the heck?
Well, this detour led me to a discovery that I hadn’t yet stumbled upon, and then another when returning to the original blog I was really sitting here writing in the first place. (Welcome to blogging, it’s one rabbit hole after another!)
