The GP Moments That Bond Us More Than Any Team-Building Exercise
Let’s be honest—Dynamics GP users are a special breed. If you’ve ever found yourself explaining “batch posting” over coffee or muttering about SmartList filters in your sleep, you’re in the right crowd. Here are some painfully accurate (and slightly hilarious) signs that you’re one of us.
- You know what Fabrikam is and you’re not afraid to use it!
The safest place to make dangerous decisions. - You’ve screamed “Why isn’t this posting?!” only to realize you’ve already closed the period.
Classic rookie mistake. We’ve all been there. Twice. - You treat SmartList Favorites like they are national treasures.
And heaven help the person who accidentally deletes one. - Your idea of fun is balancing your subledgers to the GL.
It’s like Sudoku, but with money and judgment. - You’ve slipped and called it “Great Plains” instead of GP – and smiled to yourself.
Yes, even after Microsoft told you to stop doing that. - You’ve had a philosophical argument about where to track your cost center data.
And you still don’t think you were wrong. - You’ve threatened violence over someone messing with your posting settings.
Because they’re not just checkboxes—they’re sacred. - You know the pain of a batch stuck in processing.
Batch recovery: the GP version of CPR. - You’ve customized a report in Report Writer… and lived to tell the tale.
A rare feat. Respect. - You know that Ctrl+L is magic.
If only every lookup in life worked that fast. - Your blood pressure rises when someone says, “I want to get rid of a vendor, should I use Remove History?”
No. Absolutely not. Put. The mouse. Down. - You’ve bonded with coworkers over Management Reporter.
It’s shockingly powerful once you know where the buttons are. - You say ‘Dexterity’ and people think you’re talking about yoga.
But you know better. (And your wrists still hurt.) - You’ve got GP tips bookmarked like recipe blogs.
Except these ones actually save time.
Here’s to the users who stuck with GP through every version, every batch, and every legendary Fabrikam experiment. 🥂
