Key Features:

Great Plains supports your entire business and allows you to work with powerful features, including:

Transaction Dimensions: Classify, report, and analyze financial transactions based on your specific business needs with an unlimited number of user-defined transaction dimensions, including Cost Center, Profit Center, Region, and Hours, as well as predefined system transaction dimensions such as Customer, Vendor, Item, and Site.

Transaction Dimension Codes: Attach user-defined transaction dimension codes to ledger transactions; eliminating the need to analyze transactions on the basis of account segments.

Multi-Level reporting: Allow multi-level reporting by grouping any number of transaction dimension codes into an unlimited number of user-defined levels.

Wizard-Driven Inquiries: Generate multi-level reports more easily with wizard-driven inquiries that integrate with Excel and SmartList.

Valid Code Combinations: Define valid transaction dimension code combinations to prevent invalid combinations being entered for a transaction. For instance, a product group and region must always appear together, or a project and cost center can never appear together.

Reports in Microsoft Office Excel: Multi-level reports are executed and displayed in Excel for easy manipulation, integration of non-accounting business data, and enhanced presentation.

Implode/Explode: Decide how much detail you need to view throughout your entire report or section by section with an implode/explode function.

Integration: Analyze transactions across your entire organization with seamless integration across the following Microsoft Great Plains modules: General Ledger, Receivables, Payables, Inventory, Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing, and Bank Reconciliation.
