I should admit, it was a crazy month! I been very much busy in thousands of meetings and been unable even to check my mail, thanks god we have a vacation these days so I can post few articles!

Are you “Not for Profit” organization? Do you have budgeted donations and grants and wanted to manage it the right way? Dynamics GP is the right solution for this.

If you ever installed Analytical Accounting, you might notice a module called “Grants Management” that is located under Analytical Accounting, this module is mainly used to manage Grants and Donations for Not for Profit Organizations and indeed it integrates Analytical Accounting Dimensions, Codes and Budgets.

To activate and work on this module, you must follow steps below:
