Approvals in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Active Directory or Anywhere-Round 26
Every comparison in this series has ended the same way: somebody has to say yes. The purchase order from Round 8, the check run from Round 14, the new vendor, the journal batch — sooner or later, each one waits on an approval. So for the final round of our GP vs. BC Face-Off, we’re…
Read MoreSmartLists in Dynamics GP vs. Analysis Mode in Business Central: Export to Excel or Analyze in Place-Round 25
Let’s be honest about something up front: GP users love SmartList. If we had a dollar for every client who said “I just need my SmartLists” during a Business Central demo, we could sponsor the office coffee for a year. And the affection is earned — SmartList made GP data reachable for regular users long…
Read MoreInventory Adjustments in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Pick the Right Transaction Type or Fix It From the Card-Round 24
Yesterday we set up the item (Round 23). Today the shelf disagrees with the system. Someone dropped a case, a count came back short, or a quantity was keyed wrong last month. Every inventory team knows this moment — and every ERP has a way to fix it. The question is how many decisions stand…
Read MoreItem Setup in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: The Item Class Tour or One Card and a Template-Round 23
Suggested URL: https://aislingdynamics.com/item-setup-dynamics-gp-vs-business-central/ We’ve set up vendors (Round 13) and customers (Round 21). Time for the third pillar of master data: the item. Everything you buy, stock, and sell starts here — and every field you get right today saves a posting headache later. Valuation method, tracking, prices, sites: the item card is where inventory…
Read MoreCash Receipts in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Apply by Hand or Let the Bank Feed Help-Round 22
Money is coming in. This should be the fun part. A customer paid, and all you have to do is record the check, match it to the right invoices, and move on. We’ve covered how invoices get created (Round 18) and how credits get applied (Round 19). Today: the payment itself. In GP, receiving cash…
Read MoreCustomer Setup in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Build the Class or Save the Template-Round 21
Back in Round 13 we set up a vendor and counted the windows it took. Today we cross the aisle to the sales side. A new customer just signed, sales wants them in the system today, and the order is already waiting (Round 15 covered what happens next). How fast can you get from “new…
Read MoreSales Returns in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Five Quantity Buckets or an Exact Reversal-Round 20
Yesterday’s Round 19 handled the money-only credit memo. Today the box actually comes back. A customer returns goods, and now your ERP has three jobs at once: put the items back in inventory, credit the customer, and — the part people forget — take the cost back out at the right value, so your margins…
Read MoreEntering a Sales Invoice in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Three Windows or One Page-Round 18
Not every sale starts with a sales order. Sometimes a customer calls, you do the work, and you just need to bill them. Simple, right? In Round 15 we entered sales orders, and in Round 17 we shipped them. Today we ask a more basic question: how do you enter a plain sales invoice —…
Read MoreShipping in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Fulfillment Workflow or Ship Now, Invoice Later-Round 17
In Round 16 we turned a sales order into an invoice. But we skipped over something real: the warehouse. Orders don’t ship themselves. Somebody picks the items, packs the box, and puts it on a truck — and your ERP needs to know that happened, ideally without holding up the billing. That’s today’s Face-Off: how…
Read MoreFrom Sales Order to Invoice in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Transfer the Document or Just Post It-Round 16
Yesterday we entered a sales order. Today the goods go out the door and the customer owes us money. Simple, right? In Business Central, yes — it’s one button on the order. In Dynamics GP, the order has to become a different document first. GP calls it transferring, and there’s an entire chapter of Microsoft’s…
Read MoreEntering Sales Orders in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Pick a Type ID or Just Pick a Customer-Round 15
For the last six rounds we’ve been spending money — purchase orders, receiving, invoicing, and finally paying vendors. Today the Face-Off crosses the aisle to the fun side of the ledger: making money. Round 15 opens the Sales and Receivables block with the document that starts it all — the sales order. A customer calls.…
Read MorePaying Vendors in Dynamics GP vs. Business Central: Build, Edit, Print, Post — or Just Suggest-Round 14
We promised you Round 14 would be the one everyone actually cares about. Here it is: paying vendors. Everything we’ve covered in the purchasing block — purchase orders, receiving, invoicing, credit memos, and vendor setup — leads to this moment. The invoices are approved. The due dates are coming. Somebody has to run the payment.…
