Microsoft Dynamics GP For Dummies 1st Edition

5 starsI'm a new user of Dynamics Great Plains. Here are some items I found helpful in this book:-There are lots of screen shots for the windows that are being discussed.-Several areas of step by step instructions tell the reader how to get things done.-The reader is given the chapter numbers in the GP manuals to turn to for more information. Users and IT people working with Great Plains will probably need more information to successfully use and implement this ERP software.-The part of tens (and other areas of the book as well) explains what to do, what not to do, and what to avoid when using and implementing Great Plains.I was looking for more info on the Modifier and Extender modules. These modules were briefly explained in Chapter 15. I was pleased to find out that Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) can be used to customize Dynamics GP. More customization examples would have been helpful.The book was well organized, and the author gives lots of good info on using this ERP software successfully.

I'm an experienced IT person, but new to MS Great Plains accounting. I went to Amazon first and found this "for Dummies book." Mr. Bellu does an excellent job of getting one up to speed and perhaps, just a bit better than that. I heartily recommend this book for more experienced users as well as those new to the GP system. Great Plains accounting is an older, very full-featured accounting solution. With that range of features comes some complexity. Mr Bellu brings clarity and offers enough of the "under the hood" information to whet the appetite for more.Well Done!

Let me say this; I am a beginning GP user. With that being said, I am also a technical support person. I found this book to be highly informative without boring me to death with a lot of technical and accounting descriptions. This book is great for someone who needs to get up to speed quickly! Microsoft Dynamics GP for Dummies highlights the most useful features and dispels common misconceptions.If you find yourself needing no nonsense information on how to use Microsoft GP, this is the book for you!

The book explains GP in a very organized way, I liked the way the author categorized the tasks into (Daily tasks) and (Tasks you do from time to time). However, the book didn't help me as a GP .NET developer, and the customization chapter didn't include enough examples on how to integrate your customization with the system.I think if in an upgraded version of the book he could write some chapters on how Visual Studio Tools for Dynamics GP works and how you can use eConnect and other development tools to help customizing GP the book would be "all you need" to move ahead with Dynamics GP.

As Expected Received in Perfect Condition

This book not only helps me on my day to day questions in GP, but also assisted me in the entire implementation into my company. Very easy step by step instructions with actual freeze frames of what you will be looking at.

My copy of this book is missing the final chapter. It has 17 chapters normally. My book jumps from chapter 16 to the appendix. It is missing pages 361 to 367 (chapter 17). I’d recommend buying another book if you want to learn GP.
