Olympic Tools for Microsoft Dynamics GP make processing transactions easier and more efficient.
There are tools to suit all businesses, with some specific options for organisations that operate multiple legal entities in a single Dynamics GP database (Interfund).
These tools will be added to and enhanced over time giving organisations the option to easily update as new functionality is released.
When entering a transaction in Dynamics GP, users are faced with a large list of GL codes to choose from for any one transaction. Searching for the right account can be troublesome. And even when users know the accounts, some transactions have a number of entries, all taking data entry time. The entry screen itself is multi-line meaning users have to add extra mouse clicks to allow for entry of additional details.
Easy Distribution allows users to set up a schedule of accounts to use during data entry. The entry screen is presented in a flat format with the two main entry fields side-by-side. The GL accounts are already populated leaving the user only to enter the required values.
Most organisations have some need to recharge a value that has been received from a supplier – most commonly being staff recharges. These are usually coded through a clearing account. Your current process is probably something like this:
This process is time-consuming and requires lots of manual intervention. Auto RM allows users to set up a trigger against specific general ledger accounts to identify payables transactions that need to be recharged. When a transaction is posted in Accounts Payable, coded to the defined account, the transaction is added to a staging table. Update the information, select the transaction and create the invoice in Receivables Management. Print the batch and post the transactions and you are done. This makes the process much faster and very simple.

When operating multiple entities in a single database where they all require their own Balance Sheet and P&L, the most effective way to keep things clear is to have separate Vendor accounts for each entity. This means setting up and maintaining the same vendor multiple times. This is time-consuming, open to error and usually does not get buy in from staff.
Setup and maintenance is now easy with Multi-Vendor. Set up the master Vendor and then use Multi-Vendor to setup the rest. Make changes to the master Vendor and then use Multi-Vendor to apply the changes to the rest.
The most common complaints we get from clients is the usability of the enquiry windows. Sort options are limited, no totals on the screen and if you want to analyse the detail further, you need to go to SmartList to get a decent view to download. A number of windows have been enhanced based on these common requests. The two key windows are Payables Transaction Enquiry by Vendor and Receivables Transaction Enquiry by Debtor.
A number of other features are also included with the purchase price:
– Enable Company Colours – change the colour of the background for each independent Dynamics GP database.
– Default POP Type to Shipment / Invoice – a little setting to save some mouse clicks!
– Enable GL Segment – used to help with data entry related to multi-entity environments.
