Endeavour Solutions has been supporting Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) for over 30 years.  Over that time we have performed over 1,000 upgrades and implementations of ERP, CRM, and Cloud applications. 
The current Dynamics GP 18.5 Roadmap extends past the year 2028+, with Dynamics GP 18.6 (2024) to be released in October 2023.

• Financial Summary Inquiry Redisplay- Redisplay a financial summary inquiry instead of closing the window to refresh the data.  
  • A redisplay button is added to the Financial Summary Inquiry Window which will refresh the data to see updated posted information.
•  Reverse Fiscal Year-end close by Company- In previous versions, the Reverse Fiscal year feature required ALL users to be out of ALL Dynamics GP companies. Now all users must be out of the specific company you are performing the Reverse Fiscal Year End Close.  
• All Payables 1099 print in LINES- Building on the GP 18.5 release, users will be able to print ALL the Payables 1099 forms with boxes/lines, great for screening and verifying 1099 information.   
• Drop-Down List Selection for Batch Source on Navigation Lists- Further expanding on GP 18.5’s Navigation List filtering, a drop-down list for filtering on Batch Source has been added.
• Print/Email Cash Receipts- A Mass Customer Email setting window has been added to the GP 18.5 release of printing or emailing a copy of the customer’s payment in a Word template from the Customer Maintenance Card. Note this is only available from the All-Sales-Transaction Navigation List.  
• Print Sales Order Processing Blank Picking Ticket Templates- In GP 18.6, users can print templates of SOP picking tickets per site as well as a summary document of all sites.
• Letter Writing Assistant Final Notice Collection Letter- Previous versions would not allow users to print a Final Collections letter and add invoice details. Now with the release of 18.6, users can modify any Collection Letter notices, add the Invoice details to the reports, and print the information for the customer.
• Completely Delete Document Attachments- Have greater control over documents users have attached to records in Dynamics GP by having the ability to completely remove attachments from Dynamics GP.  
• Shared Mailbox with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)- Created directly from customer feedback, GP 18.6 allows users to set up the Sales and Purchasing series to use a shared mailbox for sending emails.
  • You can enter the e-mail address you want documents e-mailed from that series (Sales or Purchasing) to both appear to be e-mailed from and have replies sent back to.
• Customer Statements Display Open Items- Customer statements display or remove Fully applied transactions. This will remove any payments, credits, or invoices that have been fully applied. 
• Email/Reprint Vendor Remittance with Message Fields- The customized message field when creating a vendor remittance, will now be included when emailing or reprinting. 
• Modern Authentication- Providing more options for security allowing for single-tenant key access. 
•

Why upgrade to the latest Microsoft Dynamics GP

1. You may be on an older version and need to upgrade as your current version of Microsoft Dynamics GP may be ending mainstream support.  Endeavour will still support your and your Business Applications, but Microsoft or your 3rd party add-ons may be ending their support.  Being off support presents risks associated with security, bug fixes and compatibility concerns.
2. You may be seeking to be Cloud-hosted with new cloud productivity functions available in the latest version of Microsoft Dynamics GP 18.5, Oct 2022 (GP 2023).  If you are on Microsoft Dynamics GP the new Dynamics 365 Business Central ERP platform may be of interest to you.  Moving from GP to Business Central is a net new implementation with specialized tools.  There is not simple migration path.  Endeavour also offers private GP Cloud hosting in Canada for hosting GP in the cloud.
3. New features and functions to support increased end-user productivity may pose a strong business case for upgrading.  Dynamics GP (2021) is a mature product and has an annual release schedule including new user requested functions and a roadmap past 2024.

Dynamics GP 18.2 was made available on October 7, 2019. The official naming convention follows the same “modern life cycle approach as Windows 10” with the naming for “GP Next” officially being called "Microsoft Dynamics GP". For simplicity purposes, we’ll refer to it as Dynamics GP 2020. As part of this modern life cycle, Microsoft has committed to an annual release each October extending past 2024 along with two additional tax-update releases each year for mid-year and year-end Payroll etc. This is a GREAT testament to the Power, Longevity and Confidence that both Endeavour and Microsoft have in the Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP platform.
