For the past few months I took it up on myself to produce a translated Russian version of Dynamics GP. What began as fun little project in response to seeing a lot of GP information in Russian on Partnersource, is now showing some remarkable results. I have managed to translate 45% of the string resources and adjust the screens accordingly aided by numerous accounting software books I ordered from Moscow -- and my wife who is from Moscow herself :-) -- to get the proper terms and meaning in place.

Here is a sample of some of the…

I recently received an enquiry from an organisation centred in the US, who have a 'local' European…

After spending a week in Costa Rica enjoying the spectacular beaches and the fabulous weather in San Jose (although my purpose in San Jose was to deliver Microsoft Dexterity training), I thought it was just appropriate to blog about the international features sported by Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010. The bottom line, there are quite a bit of enhancements for the international community, so let's get right to them:

1. VAT Daybook. You will be pleased to know that the VAT daybook has become a feature available for installation to all countries. Since value added taxes are very common across the globe with most countries requiring pretty much the same tracking and reporting capabilities, the good folks at MS have decided to make it available to everyone.

For you folks up in Canada, the VAT Daybook can be used to generate the Canadian GST/HST return in electronic format. You can set up the reporting periods for the return as specified by the tax Canada Revenue Agency. You can assign the tax detail IDs to consider for each line of the return. You can set up the default claim percentage for input tax credit for each tax detail ID. You can change this percentage for each transaction before you generate the return. You can resubmit the return after making changes, if required.

Vous serez heureux de savoir que le fil de la journée de la TVA est devenue une caractéristique disponible pour l'installation de tous…

For those of you awaiting key EFT enhancements in Microsoft Dynamics GP, here is a bit of news published back in July -- a bit late, but still worth sharing.

The update includes changes to the PAYG Payment Summary reports for the Financial Year ending 30^thJune 2010 (FY10) so that they are compliant with the latest…

Sometimes the enjoyment of finding something new in Dynamics GP involves a little blood, sweat, and tears. Learning how basic and critical it is to set the “Localization” in the price list then implementing to get the appropriate functionality – well, let’s say between the Microsoft legal eagles, technical support, and Computeration, we’ve all learned new things in the last two weeks.

March 2008 sales discussions: Questions of “We plan to open a European office, don’t quite know which country yet, is there functionality for that?” Ensuing discussion about Multi-currency, Value Added Taxes (VAT), “You don’t want to do US Payroll do you?,” manufacturing modules, and the ability to make electronic payments. Functionality appeared to be covered, but without a country picked yet, there couldn’t be any discovery or prototyping.

Reality in January 2009: Where do we setup VAT…

As any of you who trade in Europe should know there are tax changes being brought in for 2010.
