Management Reporter Tip

As many of our customers begin to implement Management Reporter and migrate over from FRx, we are eager to show them the value of some of the quick features available to users of the software.  One of my favorites is the Missing Account Analysis Tool.

Within Management Reporter, by going to Tools > Missing Account Analysis, the system will scan all building blocks and notify you (by a list with links) of all missing accounts in your report definitions/building blocks. 

The user can then group by a particular account segment or building block to then analyze and fix the issues.  By clicking on the building block icon, the user may go directly to the row in question and add the segment, or chose to exclude the building block (row) from being reported as a problem in the future.

With the direct interface to the Microsoft Dynamics GP Account Tables, although account numbers are accessible to Management Reporter, the building block definitions might not always include all the accounts companies need to add on a continual basis.  With this quick tool, report designers can verify that monthly reporting is not out of balance due to additional segments that were not originally designed to be included in a necessary report definition.  By having the missing segment reported, the report designer can easily modify the needed building block and add or exclude the reported value:

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 PREVIEW – “Feature of the Day” – Inventory REASON CODES

The Microsoft Product Development and Marketing Departments have started sharing “Feature of the Day” blog entries for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013. Here are some instructions and screen prints for using “Inventory REASON CODES”.

Inventory REASON CODES - Purpose:
Reason codes add the ability to track more detail in regards to stock movements or adjustments (specifically when using Transaction Entry, Transfer Entry, Stock Count Entry or In-Transit Transfer Entry) allowing warehouse and inventory managers greater visibility of their inventory.

Setup:
Go to Setup > Inventory > Reason Code Setup to define your company’s Reason Codes. (Define a code for “Variance” type transaction).

Transactions:
Go to Transactions > Inventory > Transaction Entry and select Variance from Document Type Dropdown list. The system will allow you to select a “Reason Code”.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Go to Transactions > Inventory > In-Transit Transfer Entry to enter Reason Codes if you have defined them for transfers of in-transit materials.
 
Monitoring:
Go to Reports > Inventory > History > Transaction History to view transactions with reason codes.

Smart List Builder - Can be used which will allow the user to define their own Reason Code queries.
