GOOD NEWS: MANAGEMENT REPORTER 2012 NOW

The latest version of Management Reporter allows users to include formulas as part of the Excel download. Rows that have TOT formulas will have the formulas downloaded as part of the Excel download.

This option is available in the report definition.

KEEP TRACK OF LOST OR DESTROYED CHECKS

It's important to track all checks, even the ones that will never clear the bank. Auditors often require information on missing check numbers, so you want to be prepared when these questions arise.

To track these lost or destroyed checks, go the Transactions >> Financial >> Bank Transaction Entry.

To record a destroyed or lost check, enter a Bank Transaction with a Type of Check. Be sure to enter $0.00 for the check amount. Because this is a zero transaction, distributions aren't necessary.

HOW TO REMOVE THE CEIP TASK IN DYNAMICS GP

The Microsoft Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) is a way for Microsoft to anonymously collect information about how people use its software and problems that people experience with it. The goal of CEIP is to make improvements to the software.

When you install Dynamics GP the CEIP task shows up in the Reminders window by default.
