I'm Hungry. For GP.

2010-07-28T08:11:00.000-07:00

So I read about Mark Polino's new Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Cookbook through several of the GP blogs, including, naturally, Mark's own DynamicAccounting.net blog which does a great job of highlighting tasty morsels of GP goodness cooked up by MVPs and other top GP chefs.

As soon as I heard about the book, I got in touch with the good folks at Packt Publishing and pleaded for a review copy as soon as it was available.

Unfortunately, I was a little bit ambitious. Between the in-laws visiting from China and my wife getting ready to have our second child in the next few weeks while my two year old demands more Dora,things have been hectic, to say the least. (Insane, perhaps?) I received the book, all shiny and crisp, but it had to sit on my desk for a few weeks until my sanity levels returned to normal.

So, finally, at 4:30am this morning, after I dropped off the in laws to go on a Las Vegas + Grand Canyon tour, I figured it was the perfect, and rare quiet opportunity to finally give The Cookbook the time that it deserved.

First, the "Cookbook" title is excellent, as it is written from the perspective of the user who wants to use GP. It isn't a dry or tedious reference manual that needs to be studied and digested (pun!). It's a book with great suggestions on actually using GP, getting the most out of GP, and pointing out those features that many users never knew existed, but would make their lives so much easier.

For example, have you configured My Reports? Or are you still wasting time navigating through the Reports menu while taking a call on your rotary phone?

And did you know that there is a way to fix AutoComplete errors without having to clear all of the AutoComplete entries? Seriously? I just learned about that from The Cookbook, and honestly I'm a bit embarrassed. With all of the repetitive entry I have to do for testing, and with all of the mistakes I make doing that data entry, I need this feature!

Hmmm, do you know how to quickly and fully create new inventory items without having to go into the 5 or 6 windows required to fully setup a new item? Page 69 has step by step instructions on how and when to use this feature that, trust me, will save a lot of time.

Are you wasting time waiting for data to export from SmartLists into Excel? Pages 138 - 154 offer three great ways to bypass SmartLists and get your data directly into Excel, which is especially powerful for users who regularly need to extract thousands of records out of GP. I've had clients that regularly exported over 100,000 records from GP for analysis in Excel, so whenever I see someone try and export more than 1,000 records, I definitely recommend one or two of the approaches Mark has laid out in detail in his Cookbook (and I just learned about a new one!).

And to wrap up my early morning review, I see that The Cookbook dutifully covers how to use the Reconcile to GL feature. I can't count the number of times I've received calls from clients who discovered that their subledgers don't tie to their trial balance. They don't know where to start, or understand how to perform the subledger reconciliation in GP. This is a process that every consultant or accounting manager should be familiar with.

Even if you think you know everything about GP (in which case you are fooling yourself), this book at a minimum reminds you of many features and functions that you may have forgotten or not used in a while. Collectively, the valuable and concise content on the 297 pages will provide value to you and your organization.

If you have invested in Dynamics GP, you've already spent thousands, or tens of thousands of dollars in software, consulting, and training. And I'll bet that the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Cookbook will humble you once you realize how many useful features there are in GP that you haven't bothered to use or that you never even knew about. It's well worth the investment and should be standard issue for any consultant or GP customer.

In fact, for you consultants out there, it would be a great gift for your clients, and a great excuse to visit them and have a conversation to discuss if they are using GP as efficiently and effectively as possible. [emphasis in original]

Hats off to Mark for putting together such a valuable handbook for the GP community!

I've been using and implementing Dynamics GP since 1996 and can't recommend this book more highly to anyone who uses or implements GP too. It's one of the best Dynamics GP references available written by one of the leading consultants in the industry.

Summer is just getting sizzly here in the United States and as a customary tradition, we begin rolling out our grills and dusting off our cookbooks, but this time around, my wife had me ordered two new cookbooks from Mark Bittman, an American food journalist and author of some of the best cookbooks in the market today. Here is my grill and the cookbooks to go with it.

Webber One Touch Gold

Mark Bittman's How to cook everything series

I am among other things an avid cook, so I was trying to find something productive to do while the stakes were on the grill. I had to decide between the usual and traditional ales (while I wait for the food) or, well more cookbooks. I figured I would log into Amazon and see what was hot. Two weeks later my shipment arrived, and I just could not wait to get my hands on it -- just in time for the summer!

I could not wait to open the box to get my hands on this new cookbook that would revolutionize my downtime while steaks and veggies were on the grill.

This was the ultimate cookbook!

The Marks have just made my summer all the more entertaining! Now, let's get grilling!

What are you waiting on? Order your Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Cookbook now by Mark Polino, MVP!

GP Cookbook - Can't stop discuss about

2010-07-15T23:29:00.000-07:00

There is a Preview Chapter available for this book, if you go to Packt Publishers site. I would like to highlight one more Recipe which is quite simple yet very interesting and informative.

In that chapter, Organizing Dynamics GP, Mark explains us about User-Defined Fields, well a bit more than what we would have thought about. Mostly users think about User-defined fields only as additional information and sometimes take it as additional fields for integration from some source. Read this recipe and your perception would be expanded about these simple wonders.

And needless to say, I am very glad to spread my words about this book by adding the Amazon Link to this book. By doing this, I am:

1. Simplifying users' searching for this book.

2. Urging my blog readers to give it a certain shot.

3. Just expressing what I thought about this book.

My Perception: If Packt could give us an entire chapter full of such nice tips as preview, we must understand what the rest of chapters and the recipes would give us.

And trust my words, you won't feel let down.

I have just finished reviewing my copy of the GP Cookbook, and I will be recommending it to anybody and everybody who uses Dynamics GP.

Dynamics GP Cookbook is a collection of tips and tricks, with great documentation and images that will make you a better GP User or Consultant. Mark is a Microsoft MVP and one of the most popular presenter at Microsoft Dynamics events. For years he has been compiling GP information on his website, with thousands of articles and now he has compiled them in this excellent 300 page book for the latest Dynamics GP version.

Reading the book will help you -
1. Do you work quicker
2. Do you work better

It has Shortcuts, tips to automate processes, hidden features, various reporting options in GP, tips on avoiding errors (most useful), and maintaining GP. See table of contents above for a great overview.

This is the book! Written by MVP Mark Polino, who endured the technical editing provided by me and fellow MVP Frank Hamelly, how can it miss?! It’s available right now!

If you won’t take my word for it, read a chapter for yourself at :

https://www.packtpub.com/sites/default/files/0424-chapter-2-organizing-dynamics-gp.pdf

then buy one for yourself at https://www.packtpub.com/microsoft-dynamics-gp-2010-cookbook/book

It is a fabulous manuscript – you will NOT be disappointed. If you liked my Confessions book, you will love this one. It takes Confessions and adds all of the missing information, like examples and explanations.

I think this is available at Amazon.com as well.

Let’s make Mark proud by each getting a book! Of course, I think he should sign the book for each of us!

Until next post!

Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Cookbook - A Treasure from Mark Polino

2010-07-12T18:44:00.000-07:00

BY: VAIDHYANATHAN MOHAN

Alright, we have seen and read so many books. On top of that, we have umpteen blogs for GP, newsgroups, forums and what not...!!! In fact Microsoft Dynamics GP itself gives us tons of manuals; PDFs and Context Sensitive CHMs.
Mark Polino has written a book titled Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Cookbook. What's different in this book from the ones that we have already?

Two crucial things:
1. This book tells us HOW TO USE GP and not what's there in GP. It's a practical guide and not just theory. It tells us the tip and also why that tip.

2. This book carries the immense experience that Mark has got over this long period of his career. And trust me, that experience is tremendous.

A guy who has crossed 2000 posts in his GP blog, who enlightened this GP Community with his 50 Tips in 50 Minutes and made it THE TOPIC of this year's Convergence, Mark has consolidated all of his experience to give us a collection of tips to USE GP in an efficient way.

Will I get benefited from this book? Will this book offer what I want? Will this book prove that it's worth of what I pay for it?
Now please quit asking such questions and read this sample chapter: Organizing Dynamics GP.

The publisher of this book, Packt Publishing, has given us the above chapter as an extract from the book.
Trust me, the other chapters are just better than each other.

For instance, Mark explains the option "Allow Sale of Discontinued Items", which I bet most of us (at least me) would have struggled to find. Those who are that "Adventurous" type would have known that, but certainly not all.
There are 290 pages of crucial tips which will enhance any GP Consultant / Administrator. And sure, I can go on and on about this book.

This book certainly live up to anyone's expectation of getting enriched with GP Tips. I sincerely recommend to go for this book and keep it in your library. Any point of time, you can come back to this book and it will tell you what's needed real-time.
Thanks so much, Mark, for giving us this book full of awesome tips. And I am sure we can expect more from you in future as well.

Take a LOOK INSIDE! The Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Cookbook at Amazon

2010-07-08T16:05:00.000-07:00

I highly recommend that you take some time to browse the content in Mark Polino's recently released "Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 Cookbook" at Amazon.com. You will be very impressed with the content.

This book is a must have for everyone. There are many, not very well known nuggets of information documented in the book that will help everyone from users just beginning to learn Dynamics GP, to Dynamics GP Administrators, to the most experienced field consultants.

We just don't get the opportunity to apply these concepts everyday. Having them at your finger tips like this is great. I'd like a pocket sized edition but it's nice to be able to download it to my Kindle.

Thanks Mark! Great work!
