The Dynamics Explorer

Recently I ran across an interesting issue affecting the bank management module following an upgrade from Dynamics GP 2010 to Dynamics GP 2018 R2. (I think the bank management module is more widely used here in the UK)

A client reported that when posting a EFT payables payment run the payments weren’t hitting the bank management reconciliation window. i.e. by EFT I mean they select “EFT” on the payables batch as per below:

I tested posting a batch of payment using the option “Cheque” on the batch header and this updated the bank management reconciliation fine.

After some troubleshooting I found this was because “Use Cheque Numbers” was selected on the chequebook as per below. (this option is available via “Cards > Financial > Chequebook > EFT Bank > Payables Options”)

When I selected “Use EFT Numbers” the bank management module is updated.

I’m not sure if this is a change in functionality as this client used to work fine prior to the upgrade.

I have tested Dynamics GP 2016 however I get the same behaviour. It seems “Use EFT Numbers” has to be selected for the bank management module to be updated.

I hope this helps anyone else who stumbles across this issue.

Thanks for reading.
