Fix Home Page Bug
Something happens in GP where users are no longer able to customize their home page. I believe this problems stems from missing records in SY08100. When missing records are restored the user can customize the home page again.
Replace CHAR Data Type with VARCHAR
Dynamics GP stores text fields using the CHAR data type. This pads the value with spaces. CHAR wastes space and introduces problems with custom reporting. We have to add RTRIM to custom queries to get rid of the extra spaces. Please consider converting to using VARCHAR for text fields.
At this time there are no scheduled plans for this feature.

Simplify Send to Email in GP
The whole Send to Email functionality in GP is complex, not well documented and there is room for a lot of improvement. Due to the complexity and lack of documentation it takes a long time to troubleshoot these issues for what is a basic feature. If I can setup a printer to send PDFs via SMTP in...
At this time there are no scheduled plans to change this, documentation is updated all the time and adding an email section below

Locking Toolbar Doesn't Stay
Customizing the toolbar and choosing lock toolbar doesn't work - the toolbar "scrambles" itself randomly even when locked.
Thank you for the suggestion, we will consider it for a future release.

Better font scaling to support all screen resolutions
GP does not scale properly on all the newer displays out there, especially when you try to use it on a Surface Pro, the font size is tiny. Certain things scale up fine, like the text in the reminders window with the tasks, but the buttons are tiny. The menus such as Transactions look OK, b...
Thanks for the suggestion, please review this blog for more information.

Increase size of Company ID
When you create a new company, you must supply a Compny ID and that ID can be no longer than 5 characters long. This should be increased to Between 8 and 12 characters.
Thank you for your suggestion. The functionality is working as designed.
Best regards.

Improve User Activity Tracking
Need to have simple auto user activity tracking for insert delete and update. Currently we have to activate user activity tracking but it is bit cumbersome to get data. By default system should track all those with simple activation. Reports should be very user friendly to understand what was ...

Ability to scan a document into Dynamics GP as PDF
I looked into the help file within Microsoft Dynamics GP and it stats the following: “The document is saved in a Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format.” Customers would like the functionality to scan as PDF files.
Ability to setup Users from Active Directory or Azure Active Directory
Currently, users must be manually setup in Dynamics GP and link to AD or AAD if using web client. It would nice if we could simply have a list of users from AD or AAD and be able to mark the ones we want automatically configured in GP. I envision a window listing all AD or AAD accounts /groups wi...
Email Settings to Link to Address ID's
In playing with the email document settings to meet a specific client need, it seems to be lacking somewhat in how you can send emails for specific document types. This is a discussion I started in the forum: https://community.dynamics.com/gp/f/32/p/279898/800443#800443 Essentially, I think yo...
