Receiving Information for Vendor Purchases?

Posted on by 30

I work for a manufacturing company and we use GP for our order entry and accounting purposes. No one at the company has received formal training on GP, and so we are muddling through it as best we can. Right now we are hand writing receiving information when we have something delivered to us from a vendor, and are sending that information (hard copy) to our corporate office who handles all of the accounting functions. It is a very time-consuming and cumbersome process, so I have been searching for a way to somehow enter this into GP so it will be available to corporate immediately and it will eliminate hand writing each one.

I have no idea where to even start looking to do this. Is it even possible, first of all, and if so, where can I find how to do this and the steps? Bonus question: if there is a way, is there also a way to upload a scan of a purchase order to attach to the receiving information so our corporate office has it linked for auditing purposes?

Current version of GP we are using appears to be 2005 version 9...however we will be migrating to 2010 in the next couple of months. If anyone knows how to do this in either version, I will be eternally grateful.

    The purchase order processing module is designed to handle all of these things for you, and the processes can be customized to your needs. You should consider hiring a consultant to handle your training and implementation. To get started, you should read the manual on the purchasing module in GP under Help > Printable Manuals.

    The answer to your bonus question is, there is always a way to get a process accomplished using Dynamics GP. Attachments that are saved to sales or purchasing documents could be sent via email, but this would require some customization.
