For companies moving from QuickBooks, we offer a proven process, refined by many QuickBooks customers who have made the change to Microsoft Dynamics GP. When you choose Microsoft Dynamics GP, you can focus on growing your business, rather than on the technology supporting it. Everything you need – your operating system, database, personal productivity tools, e-mail, and business management system – comes from one trusted partner, Microsoft. By delivering a cohesive solution that helps lower implementation and long-term ownership costs, Microsoft Dynamics GP frees you to harness the power and flexibility of an award-winning business management solution.

In addition, many current QuickBooks customers — who may be frustrated with the software’s older architecture but have put up with it because they did not feel the need to change their accounting codes— will now be forced to change in the next few years. This is due to changes in technology, the cloud; evolving business needs, since controllers and CFOs need the right software and its capabilities today.

“QuickBooks has basic accounting functions, but what Microsoft Dynamics GP offers is the ability to stay on one product for the entire lifecycle of the company. It grows with your business. If you’re going to stay small or simply maintain your AP system, something like QuickBooks might work well, but if you intend to grow the business, the last thing you want is to have to convert another accounting package later on.”

~ Anne-Claire McAllister,  President, Accountnet, Inc.

More and more organizations are looking for an easier way to do vendor invoice approval. The person able to authorize payment and signify his or her approval of a supplier invoice still requires an additional check signer. If the check exceeds a certain amount, a second check signer is required. This control supposedly gives multiple senior-level people the chance to stop a payment. In reality, it is more likely to only introduce another step into the payment process without really strengthening the control environment.

The term “accounts payable automation” or “AP automation” is used to describe the ongoing effort of many companies to streamline the business process of their accounts payable departments. The accounts payable department’s main responsibility is to process and review transactions between the company and its suppliers. In other words, it is the accounts payable department’s job to make sure all outstanding invoices from suppliers are approved, processed, and paid. Processing an invoice includes recording important data from the invoice and inputting it into the company’s financial, or accounting, system. After these tasks are accomplished, the invoice must go through the company’s business process to be paid. [Read more…]

Did you know that by using important finance information already in Dynamics GP and pushing the boundaries of process automation, you can increase productivity, efficiency, and control over your AP processes?

You can quantify the real business impact AP automation has throughout the invoice lifecycle due to:                Reduced error rates

•                 Faster workflows and approvals
•                 Improved visibility and tracking
•                 Better deployment of working capital

Controllers have realized the detriments of paper-based accounts payable processes, and the benefits of document management to help curb these challenges. Document management/ AP automation solutions utilize optical character recognition (OCR) technology, which automates the capture of data from invoices and other documents. This means that paper does not need to be scanned and information entered manually. When this information is extracted, the solution matches all related documents to a transaction and links it to the information within Microsoft Dynamics GP.
