Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 "Feature of the Day" - Week 8 Digest

Welcome to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 "Feature of the Day" Week 8 Digest!

As you read this article, I will be putting the final touches (well, the stuff I am wearing to be precise) to my suitcase to travel to Fargo, North Dakota for the Microsoft Dynamics GP Technical Airlift 2012 hosted by GPUG's GP Partner Connections (GPPC). Much of the Technical Airlift content will focus on Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013: how to sell the product, install it, customize it, and support it - doesn't get any better than that!

For those of you not attending the conference, the "Feature of the Day" series, published by Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP and summarized here on a weekly basis as a digest article, is the best way to keep building your Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 knowledge, in addition to the Technical Airlift blog articles I will be releasing all this week, live from the conference.

Without further due, here are the articles topics for last week.

Codename GP "12" Preliminary Features Series - 4 of 4

Codename GP "12" Preliminary Features - Part 4 

This is article is part 4 of 4 from the series Codename GP "12" Preliminary Features. Some images and content reproduced with express permission from Microsoft Business Solutions, a division of Microsoft Corporation.

DISCLAIMER: These features are subject to change.

---

In part 3 of the series, we discussed the different enhancements geared towards building up the Microsoft Dynamics GP product depth: enhancements to the GL year-end process, ability to generate Fixed Assets historical reports, and tolerance handling in the purchasing receipt process, are just among the few that stand out.

Of course, the Innovation pillar is mostly dominated by the release of the Web Client, but I will have to add some of the other features that got cataloged in the Product Depth pillar as true product innovations, even though the technologies supporting these innovations has been around for quite sometime.

Product Depth? More like Innovation

If the dynamic conversion of all Dexterity based forms is not an innovation, then I don't know what else qualifies. Take a look at my previous articles on the subject:

Microsoft Dynamics GP "12" Web Client Architecture - Part 3

Microsoft Dynamics GP "12" Multi-tenant Services Architecture

Finally, my new post on Microsoft Dynamics GP "12" Multi-tenant Services Architecture has been released on the Community site under my In My Humble Opinion column. After much debating with my buddy Aaron Donat (thanks Aaron for your patience!) on the previous article I released under the same title, it was deemed that that article should have been changed to reflect the Named System Databases architecture change that the Development team in Fargo was working on.

This new article highlights the changes that the Microsoft Dynamics GP web client, web services, eConnect, and Integration Manager will undergo to support various customer deployments under one single application instance. Now, this is true optimization! Hosting partners rejoice!

Until next post!
