Date Effective Tax Rates
This feature allows the user to set up different tax percentages for a tax detail ID for various date ranges as specified by the tax authority. The tax percentage that you set up for a date range overrides the tax percentages set up in Microsoft Dynamics GP for transactions that fall within the specified date range. You also can update tax detail IDs in the Tax Detail Maintenance window with the tax percentage using Date Effective Tax Rates. Date Effective Tax is applicable on saved transactions originating from the Receivables Management, Sales Order Processing, Payables Management and Purchase Order Processing modules in Microsoft Dynamics GP.
This is a screenshot of the Date Effective Tax Setup window in which the user enables the Date Effective Tax Rates feature.
Date Effective Tax Setup window (Microsoft Dynamics GP menu >> Tools >> Setup >> Company >> Company >> Options >> Additional >> Date Effective Tax Rates Setup)

Formerly the office products division of Stanley Black & Decker, Amax Incorporated holds exclusive rights to distribute office products under the Stanley Bostitch brand in the United States. The company sells to more than 800 retailers, including the largest national chains. When Amax spun out from its corporate parent, the company sought an ERP solution that was easy to implement and would help keep operations lean while supporting continued growth. Working with Microsoft Gold Certified Partner CAL Business Solutions, Amax implemented Microsoft Dynamics GP in just 12 weeks while managing other aspects of the spinout. The new solution provides employees with an unprecedented level of insight into business activities so that they can manage inventory, optimize sales performance, and process large volumes of work efficiently.

Zeller has a wider range of customers, including OEM Manufacturers, general contractors, and one time or repeat end users. This requires multiple sales strategies, techniques and tools to address each type of customers’ needs with precision. In order to compete with other suppliers, Zeller must be price competitive and excel at each delivery model; whether it is delivering a single low cost replacement part or a large, complex engineered solution. Additionally, all orders funnel into a single and consolidated materials management and fulfillment model.
This comprehensive solution and tightly integrated environment has helped Zeller transform the way they work with their customers, with their vendors, and with each other. The company embraced moving away from a highly customized, long standing AS400 green screen based ERP application that was tailored for the distribution industry and did not offer manufacturing capabilities. Equally impressive is Zeller’s implementation of a data warehouse that offers near real-time reporting and analysis tools to review a division’s performance and be able to drill down to a single part number or employee time card entry that caused a project to come in under/over budget. Zeller is truly in control of their success by being positioned to quickly, easily, and proactively learn and know more about their customers and vendors, than their customers and vendors know about themselves. This makes Zeller the strongest, easiest, and most ideal business partner with whom to conduct business. Zeller’s ability to accurately measure their ROI , as well as the strong improvements achieved during a down economic market, are evidence to their success with the implementation of the Dynamics GP solution.
Here is some of the incredible ROI that Zeller has seen:
-Realized a 447% increase in profitability with a 38% increase in revenue and 37% increase in backlog. -Increased First Pass Yield on Contract Entry by 17% resulting in a decrease in cycle time of seven days-Implemented KPI website utilizing extensive SSRS reports and integrated Phocas application allowing Zeller Corporation to:-Manage By Fact (MBF)-Accurate Revenue Forecasting-Successfully implement Goal Deployment supported by automated KPI’s-Reduced man hours required to prepare quarterly board of directors book (Zeller prepares a book that’s 1 ½ inches thick every quarter) by over 80 hours-Reduced man hours required to produce monthly staff meeting reports by over 24 hours-LEED Silver Certification – During the Microsoft Dynamics GP implementation, Zeller relocated into one of the oldest and largest manufacturing buildings within the city of Rochester, NY. In enhancing and redeveloping this historic space, Zeller focused on minimizing its environmental impact, and became LEED silver certified. Additionally, Zeller focused on being green throughout the Microsoft Dynamics GP implementation from a new organizational layout, in redesigning business processes, as well as in the implementation of an electronic AP Invoice approval.
WOW! WOW! WOW!
As many regroup from the energized week of Convergence 2011, it's a great time to reflect and gain perspective. Time to make priorities and think about what's important. Several of my fellow bloggers have documented each day of Convergence giving you highlights from their perspective. I am sure many more will be posting in the near future. They are great way to connect with the value everyone had. Every year I come back from Convergence filled. Filled with new ideas. Filled with energy and excitement. Filled with what’s possible. This year is the same (with exception to being filled with green and yellow goop in my chest.) One of the main things I enjoy about Convergence are the stories. Customers from previous years catching up, tell me what they added, how business is going. Partners offering new ideas, telling stories about their customers. If you have any stories, please share, I’d love to hear them. A few stories from this year: - A customer was acquired this year by a company using SAP. They were being pushed to move. They showed them Dynamics GP and now their counterparts are jealous. Now the corporate office uses SAP and the satellites will use Dynamics GP from a long term plan. - A prospect fell in love with the Business Analyzer. I showed her a 10 minute demo at the Expo. I told her that she shouldn’t chose an ERP based on this one feature and there are other things to consider. Not sure if she heard me. - A customer looking to upgrade. We had an interesting discussion on the risks and opportunities of upgrading, including if they should do it themselves. It came down to a simple truth, how many ISV’s do you have? I don’t know. Then, you need your partners help, but ask them how you can work on it together. Customer Value: If you are an existing Dynamics GP customer, think about what you learned and how you can realistically implement one thing in the next month or two. Even better, think about 5 things, prioritize and plan to implement one every two months. The passion I experienced talking with our customers is potent, but continuing the energy after the conference takes dedication. A few Pam Tidbits for Customers: - Many customers are not getting what they can out of their existing implementations. Hopefully now they are aware of what they are missing and bring needed change to their organization. Stop upgrading for the sake of upgrading and look to get more value. - Customers value talking to other customers and sharing best practices. The GP User Group is a great way to continue this past Convergence. You will see Microsoft investing our time with GPUG to give customers even more value. They have a conference in November you should look into. www.gpug.com - Attending Convergence takes time and money, so I understand not everyone can attend. I’ve spoken with so many customers who found that one thing that made it worthwhile. The one thing they can bring back that pays for their trip. Please try to send one person from your organization. Partner Value: For years, I've referred to our business model as the power of four. The close relationship between a customer and their partner who understands their needs, complemented by our ISV channel to extend the solution further backed by the power and resources of Microsoft . By organizations working together, it forms something more valuable and richer then working alone. In our virtual world of online communities, customers are expecting more out of their partners and are looking for other alternatives than our power of four, wanting the power of the entire community of over 40,000. As a partner, look at your organization to see how you can embrace the changing evolution of this online world. Get involved. A few Pam Tidbits for Partners: - Our Dynamics GP partners are a big family, not always happy, but bonded just the same. We yell, we listen, we debate, and we hug it out when needed. Keep engaged, giving feedback, offering new ideas. Remember, once part of the Dynamics GP family, you’re stuck for life. - Our environment is changing and partners need to adapt. They need to explore new ways to do business. The next several years will be very interesting and those who embrace change and dream up new ways will be highly successful. It's time to dream big. Hope you all enjoyed Convergence. Take Care, Pam

What does this look like?
We've recently set up a Twitter account dedicated to all things Microsoft Dynamics GP. @MSDYNGP
And just a reminder, if you tweet about anything Dynamics GP related please use the hashtag of #MSDYNGP.
Thanks!
After implementing Great Plains in 1997, MBA realized that they could leverage this investment to achieve greater efficiencies in business processes and integration between various business systems. "By utilizing the Frank, Rimerman Consulting customizations to our already highly effective Dynamics system, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is now able to budget departmentally at the detailed line item level as well as post all transactions from our Development, Membership and Ticketing systems on a daily basis enabling staff to see up-to-date actual versus budget figures" says Brian Fulmer, IT Director for the Aquarium. Monterey Bay Aquarium is now able to respond quicker to internal and external needs. Being conservation driven, they are trying to do everything green. They have increased the number of EFT vendors and reduced the number of paper checks. Reporting is all on line so managers can get their monthly financials. Customer service has improved significantly based on reporting functionality and improved commucations.
Monterey Bay Aquarium is a Microsoft zealot and advocate. They continue to be a spokesperson for Microsoft at every occasion, every event, and often unsolicited, about the solution’s capability, scalability, reliability, flexibility and ease of use. They attend Convergence, near or far. Every time FRC needs a quote, a reference, a guest speaker, a case study, etc to promote Microsoft, we can call Monterey Bay Aquarium and we KNOW that they will participate. They also provided a case study for Microsoft. They belong to the Microsoft Dynamics community site. There is no client more deserving for this award.
Thanks and Congratulations to Monterey Bay Aquarium for this deserving award!
Price Transfer needed to address the shortcomings of a legacy IT platform in a rapidly growing and changing business environment. The control of their business process was first automated in 1982 with a UNIX based front-office system for operations. This was intended to last only five years. A few years later a Sage product was deployed for financial accounting. However, by 2001, the dramatic expansion of volume and Homeland security requirements revealed that a system created in 1982 could not accommodate current trade security regulations.
After an extended search for a front-end solution, in 2008 Price Transfer launched the project of modernizing their line of business platform. The selection of the Silver Bullet Technologies solutions was contingent on the unique real time integration that Silver Bullet solutions provided with Dynamics GP. The Price team found that they would no longer have to worry about inconsistencies between their operations and accounting platform. With Dynamics GP and Silver Bullet, all information would be consistent across their applications. Price could ultimately take full advantage of their leading edge financial management system from Microsoft. All of the applications used Microsoft SQL Server on Microsoft Windows Servers and Terminal Server taking full advantage of Microsoft Office.
Price has been a true innovator in its industry. It made a bet on Microsoft with a big investment and had a surprisingly fast return. Its peers use a mix of homegrown and commercially available software often on the Unix platform. As a result they have lost a significant amount of market share to Price Transfer in the last year (25%). Price Transfer’s push toward innovation and replacing all of their platform and solutions with Microsoft Technology has actually lowered their cost of ownership and put them well on their way to becoming a $100 million dollar enterprise in the next 5 years.
Price Transfer realized all of the benefits targeted in the original ROI analysis. The combined Microsoft/ ISV platform paid for themselves in less than 6 months. In the past 12 months Price Transfer has taken share from the competition. This increased volume has been absorbed without any additional resources confirming the scalability of the software platform. Price has seen what innovation can do and they are addicted. They have re-set the bar and are continuously building on what they have accomplished making it very obvious that they will never fall behind again. Price Transfer is very proud of the sanity that was returned to the workplace and the pride it restored in their company. Now, they can deliver on their promises and the customer doesn’t have to hear excuses. Since they went live they haven’t once lost a customer to the competition. Automated workflow has given the CSR’s the time to devote extra attention to their customers. Managers, who used to work 80 hour weeks, now work 50 hour weeks. Work has become more interesting and although volume is up, not a single person has been added to service that additional volume.
Congratulations Price Transfer on your Innovation Award!

I've been watching the tweets and blogposts from inside the sandbag dike the last couple days and have noticed a number of good tweets and blogposts about Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 R2. Specifically the newest BI functionality, that is highlighted in my previous post, is getting great reviews. I really miss not being there. Make sure you have a drink for me at "The Spot" party tonight!
BTW, if you are tweeting about Convergence remember to hashtag both #CONV11 and #MSDYNGP . . . .Thanks everyone!

Even though I'm not able to be at Convergence this year, I love Convergence so much that I was able to open the Dynamics GP General Session remotely from inside our sandbag dike here in Fargo. The river has reached a crest and is on the way down so we should be OK.
See how Microsoft Dynamics GP friends make quick work of building a sandbag dike around my house!
