How to Setup New Currency in Dynamics GP

Currency ID in Dynamics GP doesn't come in default, it need to be setup and configured. Please follow the guided steps below:-

Path: MSDGP > Tools > Setup > System > Currency

1.    Enter the new currency information in Currency Setup. Refer to sample below on creating new currency "SGD" Singapore Dollar. You can enter the currency symbol in "Symbol Currency" if you need the currency to show next to the amount in GP Windows and Reports. For Example, if the currency ID you're setting up is Singapore dollar, you would enter "SGD" as the currency symbol. This currency symbol will be showing in Smartlist too even you export to Excel.


       

2.    Set up exchange rate tables, specify the source for the exchange rates in the tables and select how often you want to update the exchange rate tables.

Path: MSDGP > Tools > Setup > System > Exchange Table

3.    Enter an exchange rate table ID and description. Normally I will named the exchange table ID by putting the functional currency at first, then follow by foreign currency and type of exchange rate. Refer to screenshot below, the functional currency for this entity is "MYR", and the exchange table that need to setup is "SGD" for Average rate, therefor I named it "MYR/SGD-AVE".


4.    Select a rate frequency to indicate how often you plan to enter rates for the selected exchange rate table.

5.    Select a rate calculation method, either Multiply or Divide. Once you’ve selected a calculation method for the exchange rate table, it can’t be changed.

6.    Select a Transaction Rate Default option to determine the exchange rate that will be used when multicurrency transactions are entered. Each time you enter a transaction, a currency must be selected. If there isn’t an exchange rate for the transaction date, the option selected here will be used to select the exchange rate. Normally I will select "Previous Date" as the default exchange rate to be the rate for the closest previous date, if no rate exists for the transaction date. If an exchange rate exists for the transaction date, that rate will be used as the default exchange rate. 


7.    Select [Save].

8.    You may select the access on which entity will able to use the new currency ID and Exchange Table ID.


Path: MSDGP > Tools > Setup > System > Multicurrency Access Setup

9.   After the currency access is granted, you need further configure the Exchange Rate Type on which table to use. User just need to select the rate types that Exchange Table ID will use.


Path: MSDGP > Tools > Setup > Financial > Rate Types

10.    After the setup and configuration of currency ID and exchange table ID are done, user can now enter the conversion rate in table that setup previously.


Path: Cards > System > Exchange Table


***After new currency is setup, user will need to use the Select Account Currencies window to assign currencies access to the accounts code for transaction posting. Refer to the link below on how to assign currency to account code.

"This Currency ID hasn't been selected for use with this account"

How to Create Recurring Transaction in Dynamics GP

If you have a handful of journal entries to be created in regular basis, whether for  numerous accruals and reversals,  allocation, or reclassification entries, setting up Recurring Transaction in Dynamics GP will be helpful and speed up your month end process. Step 1 - Setup Recurring Batch Path: Transaction > Financial > Batches  i.    After entering the " Batch ID " and " Comment ", setting up the " Frequency " is the most important part for recurring transaction.

GP How to Reconcile Payable/ Receivable Ledger to General Ledger Control Account using "Reconcile to GL"

The “Reconcile to GL” tool helps you find differences between Payables Management (and GL) and Receivables Management (and GL) automatically by coming out a report. The Rule of Thumb, GL balance for the AP Control Account should match up with the total on the Payable Ledger report and the GL balance for the AR Control Account should match the total on the Receivables Ledger report.  "Reconcile to GL" will match each transaction between GL and Sub-ledger based on the setup account and posting date.  Any transactions that don’t match and users have to start digging through detailed transactions to see what went wrong, “Reconcile to GL” can be helpful in this scenario. To perform Payable/Receivable Reconciliation Path: Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Routines > Financial > Reconcile to GL     1.       Type in your date range.     2.       Select “Module”, either Payable Management or Receivable Management. ...
