What are the 38 New Dynamics GP Features Included in “GP Next”?

38 new features were included in the October release, which was called “GP Next.” It’s a long list and that pleases us to no end for 2 reasons.

  1. It’s a testament to Microsoft’s continued development of Dynamics GP.
  2. Many of the features in the “GP Next” October release represent functionality that our Microsoft Dynamics GP clients here at Bond Consulting Services have been clamoring for, for quite some time.
