Creating Scheduled Payments in GP
You can choose the interest rate, payment frequency, and other information
when you create a payment schedule, and you can create a payment schedule using
any posted document. Payment schedules are created from documents.
Payment schedules may vary based on the vendor or the kind of goods or services
that are being purchased. You can edit any information on unposted payment
schedules, as well as the interest and number of payments for posted payment
schedules.When you create payment schedules, you select specific accounts to distribute the interest and principal portions between. The following chart shows what accounts to use and how they are debited and credited.

GP 2015 New Features - Distribution
GP 2015 New Features - Distribution
Edit email for historical documents - sales and purchases
Now you can edit and re-send email messages that contain sales or purchasing documents that have been sent to customers or vendors. The new option is available from the Sales inquiry Zoom and Purchase Inquiry Zoom windows, if the ability to send documents using e-mail has been enabled for the company you're working in. Similar functionality allows you to re-send statements to customers and remittance documents to vendors.
This feature also enables you to mark multiple documents and send them all through email to an address from the navigation list.
Edit email for historical purchasing documents Similarly, for customer statements, e-mail functionality enables you to embed documents in the body of an email message and send it to customers or prospects from Microsoft Dynamics GP. Now you can edit email addresses and re-send documents that have been send previously. The Edit E-mail button is added to the Sales E-mail Detail Inquiry Zoom window, which opens the Edit Sales E-mail Detail Inquiry window. All the existing email addresses are listed in the scrolling window, and if necessary, you can add new e-mail addresses to the list.
Payment termsAdditional options have been added to the Payment Terms Setup window that provide more flexibility and greater control over how discount dates and transaction due dates are calculated wherever payment terms are used.
A new field, Calculate Date From is added to the Payment Terms Setup window. The field includes the following options:
Transaction Date Calculates the transaction due date from the date the transaction was entered on
Discount Date Uses the calculated discount date to then calculate the transaction due date.
Additional selections are added for the Due and Discount fields, you can set up payment terms that go beyond the next month, extending out a year or more, and even a specified date. With these options, the discount date could be available later than the transaction due date.

Additional workflow functionality
Workflow in Microsoft Dynamics GP enables you to define approval processes that must be completed before the task or process that's approved can be completed. Each workflow defines how a document "flows" through the system by showing who must approve it, and the conditions under which they must approve it. For Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015, additional workflows have been defined and included in the product by default:
• General Ledger batch approval • Payables batch approval • Vendor approval • Receivables batch approval • Employee skills approval • W4 approval • Project expense report approval
Intercompany enhancements
Information for intercompany transactions is now easier to see and intercompany transaction processing has been changed to provide improve efficiency.
When viewing transactions in the Journal Entry Inquiry window, more complete transaction information is now displayed, including the destination company and the offset accounts that were used.
Intercompany transaction processing has been updated so that if a change is made to a transaction for the originating company, the change is automatically made for all destination companies, as well. For example, if you void an intercompany sale in the originating company, the sale is voided in the destination companies at the same time.
Warning of vendors that have purchase orders
An option has been added to the Payables Management Setup window that displays a warning that open purchase orders exist in the system before the transaction can be saved or posted. The warning displays when entering a payables transaction to help prevent entries in the wrong module.
The option, Warn if Vendor has existing purchase order, has been added to the Payables Management Setup window. If this option is marked, the system will check for open purchase orders for a vendor when you select to save or post that transaction for the same vendor in the Payables Transaction Entry window.
Fixed Assets year-end close report
An optional report is now available when you close a year in Fixed Assets. The assets that are included on the report are categorized by asset book and are listed according to their asset IDs. The report also lists the current fiscal year for each asset book, as well as any adjustments that were made to the assets during the process of closing the year.
Void Intercompany Transactions
In Microsoft
Dynamics GP 2015, users will have the ability to void an intercompany journal
entry, including entries posted in destination companies, by voiding the
original entry in the originating company. This eliminates the need to void an
entry in both the originating company, and individually in each destination
company as separate steps.
When the
user voids the entry in the originating company, intercompany entries are also
created automatically in destination companies to void the original
intercompany entries.
Payment Terms – Discount Date Calculation
With the
changes for the transaction due date, we’ve extended the options for the
discount date also in Microsoft Dynamics GP2015.
Now you have
the same calculation options for discount date that you do for transaction due
date. You choose among calculation options like annual, next month or month/date
and being able to add days, months, or years to the calculation gives you
greater flexibility when setting up your payment terms.
The ability
to calculate an example when you are creating the payment term gives you
greater flexibility and quicker verification of the option you want.
Payment Terms – Transaction Calculation
In Microsoft
Dynamics GP 2015 you now have greater flexibility to configure payment terms
for the transaction due date.
A new
selection was added to calculate the transaction due date from the transaction
date or from the discount date. Additional calculation options like annual or
month/date and being able to add days or months to the calculation gives you
greater flexibility when setting up your payment terms.
The ability to calculate an example when you are
creating the payment term gives you greater flexibility and quicker
