| Print any Crystal Report from any GP Window
Benefits of Report Shortcuts |
 Do you have Crystal reports that users want to print when they are on a particular window in Dynamics GP? Maybe you want a customer statement to print when you're looking at the Receivables Transaction Inquiry window. Or a list of all items you purchase from a particular vendor when you're looking at that vendor's transaction list.
GP Reports Viewer gives you the flexibility to set up an unlimited number of Shortcuts to your Crystal reports. Shortcuts can be added to either the window Print button or the Additional (or Extras) menu on any window. That includes any third-party products or customizations you have installed for Dynamics GP.
You can map each parameter on your Crystal Report to any field on the Dynamics GP window. Optionally you can disable the default Dynamics GP reports on any window and replace them with your own Crystal Reports.

 In 1995 Great Plains held the first Turkey Bowl. A food drive where employees donated food to the Food Pantry for the entry fee into the Turkey Bowl. Prizes were given out and one hundred and thirty pounds of food were donated.
The Mayors of Fargo and Moorhead were invited to the 3rd Annual Turkey Bowl to bowl the first turkey to kick-off the event. That year two hundred and four pounds of food were donated.
In 1998 during the 4th Annual Turkey Bowl teams were formed and competed in a bowl-off with Great Plains Chairman and CEO, Doug Burgum. Again donations of food were the entry fee and one thousand, two hundred and sixty two pounds of food were donated. The Solution Developers Team won the title of 'Top Turkey' for 1998. |
