Picking and Shipping in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Allocate and Fulfill or Pick and Post-Round 51
Round 51 of our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central: Functionality Face-Off series. Yesterday we brought inventory in the door. Today it goes back out. In Round 50 we compared receiving and put-away. Picking and shipping is the mirror image: the order is sold, and now somebody has to pull the right items off the…
Read MoreWarehouse Receiving and Put-Away in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Key the Receipt or Work the Dock-Round 50
Round 50 of our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central: Functionality Face-Off series. A truck backs up to the dock. Boxes come off. Somebody has to tell the system what arrived — and somebody has to put it all on the right shelf. Last round we set up sites, locations, and bins. This round, we…
Read MoreSites and Bins in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Enable the Module or Flip a Toggle-Round 49
Round 49 of our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central: Functionality Face-Off series — and the first of our warehouse rounds. Every warehouse question starts the same way: where is it? Which building, which room, which shelf. Your ERP models that answer with two building blocks — a place (a site or location) and a…
Read MoreAudit Trails in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Trace the Journal or Log Every Change-Round 48
Round 48 of our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central: Functionality Face-Off series. Sooner or later, someone asks the question. An auditor. A controller. A frustrated AP clerk. “Who changed this? And what did it say before?” How well your ERP answers that question matters. In Round 47 we compared how GP and Business Central…
Read MoreUser Security in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Build the Role or Assign the Set-Round 47
Welcome back to our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central Functionality Face-Off. This is Round 47. Today’s topic never makes the demo highlight reel, but every auditor asks about it first: user security. Who can see what? Who can post what? And how much work is it to keep those answers current? Both systems use…
Read MoreCopilot in Business Central vs. Dynamics GP: The Round GP Can’t Enter-Round 46
Welcome back to our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central Functionality Face-Off. This is Round 46, and we’ll be honest up front: this one is not a fair fight. Dynamics GP has no Copilot and never will. GP was designed decades before AI assistants existed, and Microsoft’s innovation investment now goes to Business Central. So…
Read MorePower BI in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Build the Gateway or Install the App-Round 45
Welcome back to our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central Functionality Face-Off. This is Round 45. Last time we looked at Excel integration — the spreadsheet everyone works in. Today it’s the dashboard everyone wants: Power BI. Power BI is Microsoft’s tool for charts, dashboards, and interactive reports. Both GP and BC can feed it.…

Welcome back to our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central Functionality Face-Off. This is Round 44. Let’s be honest about something every accountant knows: no matter which ERP you run, the real work often ends up in Excel. So today’s question matters — how well does your ERP actually talk to Excel? Both systems can…

Welcome back to our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central Functionality Face-Off. This is Round 43. We have spent the last few rounds on the shop floor — most recently on material planning. Today we move to service and job-based work: tracking a project’s costs, billing the customer, and recognizing revenue as the work gets…
Read MoreMaterial Planning in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: The Overnight Regeneration or a Plan on Demand-Round 42
Welcome back to our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central Functionality Face-Off. This is Round 42. Last round we followed a production order from release to finish. But before you can run an order, someone has to answer the two oldest questions in manufacturing: what should we make, and what should we buy? That is…
Read MoreProduction Orders in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Four Windows to Close or Five Statuses on One Order-Round 41
Welcome back to our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics Business Central Functionality Face-Off. This is Round 41, and we are staying on the shop floor. Last round we compared how the two systems build BOMs and routings. Today we run the order itself: releasing a production order, issuing components, recording output, and closing the order when…

Round 40 of our Dynamics GP vs. Dynamics 365 Business Central Functionality Face-Off kicks off the manufacturing rounds.

A bill of materials (BOM)…
