Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft Office
Overview
Are you getting an adequate return on your IT investment?
To answer that question you’ve got to take into account not just how you’re using individual programs, but whether those programs are working together as efficiently as possible.
You want the whole of your software to be greater than the sum of its parts.
The name of the game is synergy, and it has become much easier to achieve with Microsoft Dynamics GP, a robust system to help you manage finances, sales and purchasing, manufacturing processes, inventory, and even reporting and business intelligence.
Not only does Microsoft Dynamics GP continue to deliver business applications that work deeply with and similar to Microsoft Office system business productivity software, it also features many new points of integration that help to simplify business tasks and deliver dependable information where its most helpful.
Microsoft Office Word
Using the new templates and wizards in the Letter Writing Assistant, you can create even more dynamic communications in Microsoft Office Word. You can:
Easily populate Word form letters and other documents with up-to-date customer and supplier information.
Manage collections more effectively.
Make full use of the powerful query capabilities of SmartLists by exporting specific customer lists and records to Word to quickly create letters and reports, even select one of these SmartLists using the Letter Writing Assistant to determine which range of customers will receive your letter.
All manner of communications can be sent simply by utilising the Letter Writing Assistant in Microsoft Dynamics GP and clicking the type of letter required. The appropriate document opens automatically in Word, complete with the name and address of the recipient and other pertinent data.
Create Excel PivotTables from financial data
The integrated Excel PivotTable Creator continues to win praise from customers as an easy way to get to the most important information in your business system.
Combined with the FRx and Forecaster 7.0, the de facto reporting engine for Microsoft Dynamics GP, reporting capabilities are even more comprehensive and flexible.
Even FRx Forecaster 7.0 (the advanced forecasting and budgeting tool for Dynamics GP) has a new user interface with the look and feel of Microsoft Office.
Using FRx, you can build customisable financial reports, including personalised packages that consolidate Microsoft Office documents, Microsoft FRx reports, Crystal Reports, and other formats into a single file to deliver to decision-makers. You can also export FRx reports to Excel and then create PivotTables and PivotCharts with just a few clicks.
