240Good morning Folks
Great Plains users might understand what I'm referring to by the abbreviation of PSTL. This is known as the Professional Services Took Kit in Great Plains. The functionality around the General Ledger accounts is what I'm needing in BC in order to motivate our GP clients to transition to BC.
In summary, the functionality around the GL account is as follows:
A GP GL account can be renamed and it will ripple through every posted and unposted transaction in all the sub-ledgers as well as in the GL. It will also update the GL budgets. Bear in mind that in GP, a GL account could be made up of e.g. 10 segments. In BC that would be 1 account number and 9 dimensions.
It is not as simple as renaming the BC dimensions. The dimensions for the target account could exist in BC already. It is the combination of dimensions per account which will change. The client redefines reporting structrues and budgets and so they move accounts around.
The PSTL also has the functionality of merging GL accounts. Many GP source accounts (all 10 segments) can be merged into a single target account. An audit trail is produced and the source accounts are then deleted on completion.
I would think that this could be a rather large development in BC and I do wonder if someone has done this already or if anyone knows if Microsoft are planning on the same functionality for BC.
Your assistance would be apprecaited.
Thank you
