Tip of the Month - Did you Know? Auto-Lock documents generated thru GP

Recently we found out that the GP Web Client cannot generate an email with a .pdf document attached (this may be rectified when the Web Client moves to html in GP 2016).  Our users still want to use the web client to generate .docx invoices/purchase orders, but really want to be sure that the documents they send out cannot be modified. 

To enable password protection on word documents, go to Administration >> Setup >> System >> System Preferences. Mark the check box that says “Protect.docx attachments with a password”. Once that is enabled, customers or vendors will need to enter the password in order to edit the document.

If you don’t send them the password, or have it auto-generated, the recipient cannot easily modify the document.

Stay tuned for our next "Tip of the Month"!

If you have any questions, please contact support@collinscomputing.com or (888) 391-6690.

Upcoming U.S. Payroll Tax Updates for 2016

Happy New Year Everyone!

  

We hope you all had a joyous holiday and spent time with family and friends.

There are some changes and updates coming that we want to make you

aware of....

REMINDER: There is NO year-end update or tax update available for GP 2010.  ONLY GP 2013 thru GP 2015R2 will receive updates.  If you are on GP 2010 or below, you will need to upgrade in order to receive year-end and/or payroll tax updates.

1. Recently, the president signed the bill Path 2015 for tax relief.  At a glance, Microsoft says it may affect Fixed Assets depreciation values but will know more as they research further.  For your reading pleasure, here is a blog that discusses the bill.

2. The 2016 941 Draft form has been released.  Microsoft is reviewing this for changes.  We will know more later on.  View it here.

3. U.S. Payroll Round 2 Tax Update for 2016:  Microsoft is looking to release this middle of January.  This will be a code update for the states identified as such, otherwise no need for code. Alabama - code change District of Columbia Maine - code change Missouri North Dakota Oregon Rhode Island Vermont

4. Affordable Care Act (ACA): HERE is a blog for you to read and HERE is a video for you to watch if you are using ACA in Dynamics GP. If you are running ACA on Dynamics GP and getting many employees printing with zero after you install the update…check this blog for scripts.   Also attached is an ACA document that talks about "Inactive" and how to better remove them.

5. January Hotfix Scheduled…..There will be a code update in January for both GP2013 and GP2015 to coincide with the code changes for the states above.  Microsoft may also include some critical bugs in there for GP2015, specifically around self-service and the template PDF issues many are running into should be fixed.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email support@collinscomputing.com or call (888) 391-6690.
