Extending Dynamics GP

Have you ever wished you had a place to enter additional information in Dynamics GP? This might be additional information on Vendors, Customers or even Inventory Item. For example you might want to track credit information for a customer. You have information for Credit Rating, D & B Number, Credit Reference, Credit Contact and Email. While we are all familar with entering information in other fields that we are not using, like Comment 1 and 2 or Tax Registration. It is always easier to had fields created specifically for the information we are tracking.

With Extender you can simply create a new "sub" window that is attached to any window in Dynamics GP or any other Dexterity based application.

Field types are:

• Checkbox
• Currency
• Date
• List
• Lookup
• Number
• Percentage
• Phone Number
• Quantity
• Short String
• Time
• Linked Lookup
• EMail Address
• File
• Folder
• Long String
• Calculated

This information can be added to Reports and Smartlist. You can also create an inquiry to see the information on other windows in Dynamics GP.

A couple things to know about Extender

Extender is an Ala Carte Module, so even if you are on BRL you will still need to buy the Extender Module.
