Can I get the MAIN checkbook balance in a SmartList report (that I can set up on a schedule to download automatically)?

Posted on by Elaine Reidich 195

I am trying to automate the balancing of our MAIN checkbook to our bank account balance.  I am getting an automated feed from our bank but can not figure out a way of getting the MAIN checkbook balance without manually going into Great Plains.  The two ways I can now get the balance is either from the "Adjusted Book Balance" amount on the Select Bank Transactions dialog box where Checkbook ID = MAIN when I am in GP or under MD GP Financials, CheckBook Balance Inquiry where Checkbook ID = MAIN and I have to give it a date. 

The non-manual solution would be if I can get IT to run a process at night to get this balance and push the info to a directory my application can pick it up.  But I do not think IT can get the data from either of the options above.

Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    I would recomend to create refreshable excel which you check anytime without login to GP

    Hi Babu, I do not think the version of GP we are on allows access from Excel.  I just started at this company and I don't know of anyone here who has direct links into GP from Excel.  Do you know what version you need to be on to get this feature?

    Hi Elaine,

    Most of the GP version has this, please go to menu and press about GP which will show what version you are.

    Elaine, you can create an Excel file outside GP with an ODC (Office Data Connection) to the GP tables to pull this info.  Doesn't matter what version of GP because you're reading directly from SQL.

    Hi Elaine,

    Please go to the following in GP to build refreshable excel from GP.  I think this is available from version 10.0

    Microsoft Dynamics GP menu >> Tools >> SmartList Builder >> Excel Report Builder

    The table you have to use CM00100
