Let's talk about something that's been hiding in plain sight in Dynamics GP that could make your life a whole lot easier. If you're juggling accounts payable across multiple entities, you know the drill – click here, post there, switch modules, repeat... it gets old fast. That's where Master Posting Series comes in, and I’m usually shocked when I find out this isn’t a more well known thing in GP.
It's pretty straightforward – Master Posting Series lets you grab batches from different posting areas in GP (like Financial, Sales, Purchasing, whatever you need) and post them all at once. No more hopping around between different series screens. We all know that GP has it’s pros and cons, and navigating between dozens of windows is definitely not a strength, but with Master Posting series you can minimize the time you spend bouncing around.
If you're managing several entities in GP, this feature is about to become your new best friend for a few reasons:
Here's the thing – with Fidesic, we import invoices and automatically create entity-specific batches. But then what? We don’t do this to arbitrarily create more work, we do this to follow the best practices for posting MEM batches. With Master Posting Series, your team can review and post ALL those batches in one go. No more clicking through each entity separately while juggling multiple windows.
Remember all that time you spent jumping between different GP screens to post batches? Well those days are gone. One action instead of twenty. Your future self will thank you, especially during those month-end crunches when every minute counts.
There's something satisfying about seeing all your pending batches in one place. Master Posting gives you that bird's-eye view across all series, so you know exactly what you're posting. Month-end close across multiple entities suddenly becomes way less stressful.
Picture this: You're managing AP for five different entities (which plenty of our customers do). Without Master Posting, you'd be:
With Fidesic creating those batches automatically and Master Posting letting you post them all at once, you're potentially shaving hours off your workweek. That's not just efficiency – that's getting part of your life back.
This combination – Fidesic's multi-entity AP automation plus GP's Master Posting Series is one that can truly make your life a lot easier when it comes to AP invoices.
