Transitioning From On-Premise to Cloud ERP Solutions | 360° ERP Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Mark Polino) — Thu, 24 May 2012 09:00:02 PDT

Panormal Consulting explores some of the considerations when Transitioning From On-Premise to Cloud ERP Solutions

From point number 1, Recognize that risk will shift away from technology to the business.

"...As a result, CIOs and CFOs are forced to spend more time addressing organizational change management and training issues since the solutions can’t be easily changed to fit business needs, increasing the pressure on the organization to change its business processes and people."

hmm...this sounds a little like my thoughts at MSDynamicsWorld.

Weekly Review: Specific Item Costing

noreply@blogger.com (Mark Polino) — Thu, 24 May 2012 06:00:08 PDT

I ran into a situation recently where a client needed specific item costing for each product that they sell.

This is most common for serialized items where there is a single item number but specific costs need to be applied for each serialized item.

In a simple example, consider a dealership where each car model is an item number. We might have 15 MINI Cooper's on the lot in various trim models from stripped down to fully loaded but each one is a different cost with a different serial (VIN) number. You can't average the costs of the fully loaded and the stripped down models and you sure can't use FIFO or LIFO. [I'm not suggesting this is the way to run a dealership. It's an example.] You have to account for the specific cost of each car and relieve that cost when the car sells.

Dynamics GP can handle this but there are a few things that you need to know to make this work right:

The item must be using FIFO Perpetual or LIFO Perpetual valuation.
The items have to have serial numbers.
When you sell an item, the correct cost WILL NOT show on the screen or on any edit lists.
The correct cost WILL SHOW on the posting reports.

GP doesn’t finalize the cost for the item until posting so all of the edit reports show FIFO or LIFO cost but the correct cost is applied at posting. It works, you just can’t tell that it works until you post the transaction.

[Update: Lot Tracking works the same way]

Dynamic Future - Vote - Resize the Left Pane on Smartlists

noreply@blogger.com (Mark Polino) — Tue, 22 May 2012 06:00:12 PDT

This week's proposed enhancement to Dynamics GP underscores why it's important check for existing suggestions before creating one. I know that the search on the Connect site could use some work but for the very simple suggestion that the the left pane of the SmartList window (the one with the Smartlists, not the one with resulting data) should be resizable. There are currently at least three suggestions totally eight (80) votes across the three. I 've suggested that these be merged but we're going to pick one to vote on.

When making the SmartList window full size, the left hand side takes up an inordinate amount of room but it can't be resized. It can't be shrunk to get more room for data. I would like to encourage you to vote to add this functionality into the next version of Dynamics GP.

This functionality has been requested in items 531731 (39 votes) , 670303 (11 votes), and 549102 (30 votes). Thanks to everyone who created these, let's see if we can really emphasize that we want this fixed.
