Amber’s Tips & Tricks

Supercharging the SOP Document Look Up Window in Microsoft Dynamics GP

Companies that do a large volume of Sales Order Processing know that the SOP Document Lookup window in Microsoft Dynamics GP does not always provide an easy way to locate a specific document. CAL Business Solutions has the answer. We created a custom SOP Document Lookup window that allows users to search for Transactions across different document types by adding a multi-select option. 

If interested in this custom, please contact sales@calszone.com or 860.485.0910 x4
