GP 2010 Tagging Expenses

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by D. Reiter 495

Hello,

Does anyone know of a way to "tag" events in GP across different expense accounts? For example, we are attending the ABC Conference. There will be hits to conference expense, travel expense, food expense, and others. Is there a way I can "tag" all of these expenses as ABC conference, in a manner that we can easily pull all the associated expenses across different accounts with the conference? I'd like to easily be able to get the total cost of a conference, including travel/food/etc,

Thank you.

    Management Reporter is the most recent effective reporting tool for Analytical Accounting;

    Reporting on Dynamics GP Analytical Accounting Budget Trees

    You could still of course customize reports and publish through smart list builder/ Designer into your Dynamics GP.

    Thank you! This is very helpful.

    The video goes over instructions for reporting using FRX - we do not use this. Do you know of any other ways to export/view expenses by dimension without using FRX?

    Thanks for your answer. Can you provide more information about "dimensions"? I'm not familiar with this terms (what it is, how to create it, if I can export expenses by dimension, etc). Thanks again.

    You may consider Analytical Accounting. You could simply create a dimension called "Expense Type" which is linked to all the expense accounts, this dimension could have several values such as; conference (for the time being). Later on, you may consider other types to be used under the same dimension.

    You could consider MVP Mohammad Daoud article on Analytical Accounting on the link below;

    Hope this helps,
