According to Microsoft, “Dynamics GP2015 R2 is a testament to the continued investment in the product, the dedication of the development team to deliver on big challenges and drive innovation, and our second-to-none collaboration with our customers and partners.”

To better understand and embrace this evolution, Microsoft, through its large contingent of partners, is introducing one by one the new features available in the next release. Here are the 5 first features:

Day 10 | Workflow – Document Attachment

When a document has been added to a transaction or record using the Microsoft Dynamics GP Document Attachment feature, these attachments can now be sent with the workflow task notification email.  This feature, new to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2, is available for PM Batch Approval, Purchase Order Approval, Purchase Requisition Approval, Vendor Maintenance, and the new workflow type, Payables Transaction Approval.  For example, you can now enter a payables invoice, scan in and attach the record from the vendor, then submit the invoice for approval.  When the approver receives the email, they will get the invoice information and the attachment will show the scanned invoice from the vendor.
