Microsoft Dynamics GP Tip
How do you reprint a General Ledger Posting Journal?

It is easy to find the Posting Journals reprint functionality available for all other modules, but it is sometimes hidden to end users because it is not named "Posting Journal" for general ledger.  We term it cross reference report instead.  This report is available under Financial - Reports -  Cross Reference.  You can print this report based on Journal Entry number, source document or audit trail code.

Looking Up
Lay-offs, hiring freezes, forced furloughs, and pay cuts. Any CFO or Controller can tell you what was definitive about the past year.  We all know it wasn't good news.  Despite what unemployment numbers now reveal, optimism for the future is the overwhelming feeling among analysts and polled CFOs around the world.  Why?  What signs reveal that the tide is turning?  Will an almost bullish stock market loosen company purse strings?  Can we count on more jobs in the new year?

How Long Does Your Budgeting Process Take?
BudgetMicrosoft Dynamics offers a tool called Forecaster that assists with financial planning, budgeting, and reporting.  It works with your current Dynamics GP system to help you measure business results, align performance to goals and improve profitability. 
 
While you already have FRx for Microsoft Dynamics GP that gives you powerful analysis and reporting capabilities, it may not give you that full detail you are looking for concerning budgeting and planning.  For a flexible, template-driven planning and budgeting tool, we recommend Forecaster for Microsoft Dynamics GP. 
 
Watch a short demo of Microsoft Forecaster by clicking here.
Want a more in-depth demonstration?  Contact TRG at 425.277.4760. 

If you are on Microsoft Dynamics GP Business Ready Licensing, you already own Forecaster!
Virtualization for Dummies

Virtualization DummiesVirtualization is the latest technical innovation designed to increase the level of system abstraction and enable IT users to increase the level of computer performance.

At its simplest level, virtualization allows you to have two or more computers running two or more completely different environments on one piece of hardware. For example, with virtualization, you can have both a Linux machine and a Windows machine on one system.  Alternatively, you could host a Windows 95 desktop and a Windows XP desktop on one workstation.
