Dynamics Report Manager
Any user in Dynamics GP runs reports. These reports can be spread across multiple applications. Within Dynamics GP, Microsoft created Report groups. However, that only allows you to group the reports within your Dynamics GP. What about your Management Reporter reports or any SSRS reports that you may need to run? This product allows users to launch reports from a variety of sources and programs all within one spot. With the Report manager’s centralized and intuitive interface, users don’t need to understand different reporting engines. Your users will have the flexibility to group, sort, manage and configure reports in one spot and choose when they want to print, email and save them. The ability to schedule and distribute reports on your terms is also available.
Omni Price
Are you a Dynamics GP user that offers different pricing to your customers based on different contracts? Omni Price takes Microsoft Dynamics GP’s pricing, invoicing and sales order processing modules to a new level of easy. It is built to work with GP’s standard pricing and gives you extra capabilities to extend your pricing power.
Multiple Contract Pricing Options:
This allows you to specify what customers, items or dates will drive a special price over the standard GP pricing as well as prioritize your contracts to automatically find the best price. There is an Excel import/export that keeps contracts organized and accessible.
11 Variable Pricing Calculations:
Users have access to a comprehensive pricing matrix to create special calculations. This includes fixed price, fixed adjustment, percent of cost, percent of price, discounts, markups, margins and more.
Flexible Filters:
Users can apply pricing as you need without reconfiguring for every customer or item. Optional date filters allow you to define date ranges for valid pricing to accommodate special promotions. There is even the mass update tool that will allow an update to all, or one contract at a time.
Simplified Pricing Markdowns or Adjustments:
This allows you to change a unit price or keep the original price and apply the difference to the markdown amount.
SmartFill
Do your users spend time looking up information in Microsoft Dynamics GP or third-party products? Everyone knows that the transactions and information is there, but sometimes coming up with the magic combination of words, numbers, or phrases is a time-consuming process and a pain. With SmartFill there is a search bar and you type in what you know. If you only know a few letters of a name or part of an ID– that is no problem. Type in what you know, and you will have a list of matches. You will see comparable items that might have typos, so you don’t enter anything twice. There are over 4,000 pre-defined lookups that are built-in so right out of the box you will be ready to search and go. You can also create custom lookups on the fly.
Do you use Dynamics 365? No need to worry, Rockton has products for you too. These also come with a free trial.
