Discover what the PA Dynamics GP add-ons can do for you.
At Professional Advantage (PA), we are committed to enhancing your Microsoft Dynamics GP solution, including through the development of a range of PA add-ons.
These essential add-ons have been expertly developed by our dedicated team of developers and consultants and are appreciated by many of our clients. However, we realise that some of our clients may either not be aware of some of the add-ons that we offer, or may not be utilising them to their full extent.
We want to change this!
Here we have compiled all the information that you need regarding our Dynamics GP add-ons, including a view from one of our consultants about why these add-ons truly are essential to your solution.
BankPro
BankPro is designed for electronic fund transfer (EFT) payments and reconciliations within Microsoft Dynamics GP. It enables users to generate a direct debit from a debtors outstanding transactions; track and audit changes in customer bank details; and offers the ability to process BPAY transactions. It allows organisations to dramatically reduce the time spent paying creditors, and eliminates the worry around keeping the bank balance up to date or the security of the payment process.
Learn more about BankProWhat our consultants say:
“So many clients use BankPro, but often they aren’t utilising all the features or aren’t aware of all the capabilities. There are also features that users often take for granted and may need reminding of, particularly in a time when more and more people are working remotely and may benefit from features that wouldn’t previously have been a priority when in the office. It’s so important to use this solution to its full potential.
Some of these features include:
- Saving to a secure network location.
- User security.
- EFT approval.
- BPAY at invoice level for both customers and creditors.
- BPOINT import for customers.
- Bank statement import with auto reconciliation.
- Deposit per receipt to bank reconciliation.
- One deposit to bank reconciliation.
- Built within the standard GP payment run, for a single user experience.
- Seamless user interface.
It’s great to see our clients keeping up to date with the latest version, but remember that with updates come new features; it’s not enough to simply be on the latest version, you need to be taking advantage of all the functionality that comes with each update.
We don’t highlight BankPro as a new feature that suddenly clients should be using, we highlight it as an established, tried and tested, and well recommended solution. But are you aware of all of the capabilities of BankPro, and are you using it to its full potential? That is what is important with this essential add-on.”
Multi-Company
Multi-Company alleviates the need for Microsoft Dynamics GP databases to be set up to support multiple companies within an organisation using Dynamics GP. It allows multiple companies to reside in one database, whilst still providing inter-company type controls to ensure only valid cross-company entries are posted, and to automatically add the balancing entries via company from/to control accounts.
What our consultants say:
“It’s a strong product, especially with regards to what Dynamics GP can do. It allows for intercompany transactions within the one database, and intercompany purchasing transactions which Dynamics GP can’t do. It’s all within the one database, as opposed to Dynamics GP intercompany. It’s just a nifty tool.”
Company Data Archive
Company Data Archive (CDA) provides an easy way to move historical information from a ‘live’ company to an ‘archive’ company within Microsoft Dynamics GP. It enables users to reduce the size of their live company by archiving data, importing system performance while posting, running reports, performing file maintenance, and generally using Dynamics GP day-to-day. It allows for a cut-off date to be entered for historical data, with all fully applied transactions that meet the date criteria moved to an archive company. Archived transactions are still available to inquire and report on by logging in to the archive company in the normal way, and users can take advantage of powerful cross company inquiries to view transactions from live and historical companies at the same time.
Learn more about Company Data ArchiveWhat our consultants say:
“Anyone whose databases are growing quite quickly, or who may be having issues with speed, will benefit from CDA. Generally, the longer you have been using Dynamics GP, the more you will benefit from CDA. You will be accumulating data in a database which is what CDA is designed for, and using this add-on will speed everything up in your live database and greatly enhance your system performance. Clients often don’t realise that their system is slow—they are used to turning the system on or setting a process going and leaving it alone to load—but when they implement CDA, they are astounded that they ever managed to work without it.
It really does help with everything, even lookups, enquiries, reporting is quicker…the list goes on.
It’s more important in the later versions as well when using Document Attach: documents are now in the database increasing the size. With CDA, you can highlight where the size has come from and utilise the solution to manage the performance of that.”
Collections Management
Collections Management centralises contact and collection information and automates the collections process within Microsoft Dynamics GP. It enables users to improve cash flow, streamline processes, and reduce bad debt, dramatically reducing the time spent collecting from your customers. It allows for organisations to easily perform activities such as tracking contact with a customer; automatically assigning follow-ups; and setting reminder dates.
Learn more about Collections ManagementWhat our consultants say:
“Collections Management allows you to have payment plans, alerts, and reminders, something that can be useful during turbulent economic times like those experienced as a result of COVID-19. You can also track all correspondence relating to collections, including documents sent. Then there is Aged Debtors Trial balance with collection notes, and the ability to build queries for collection based on alerts, notes, priority, etc.
