"Print to Screen" Size Change
Suggested by Shawn Dorward – Completed – 12 Comments
Why oh WHY do I have to resize the print preview window every time I run a report to the screen? This seems like a simple fix and would save 1000's of click and drags... maybe even every day! :)

Interface GP with 64-bit Outlook
Suggested by Jeff Frye – Completed – 5 Comments
Have both clients work with 64-bit Outlook instead of having to depend on the wonky and completly inadequate GP mail client. A lot of email capabilities related to the contacts and formatting is lost.
May I suggest making GP a 64-bit program if it will help. If a solution is not doable please stop promising that GP is compatible with 64-bit Office.

Allow unattended scheduling of CHECKLINKS and RECONCILES
Suggested by Tim Wappat – Completed – 5 Comments
The ability to get GP to run a check links and reconcile automatically via a schedule would transform the admin of larger sites.
I would love to reconcile our SOP and POP each night and IV over weekends, automatically and have the resulting reports written to a directory for me to review. Even if it meant passing params to GP application via windows scheduler or having another application to run on the server. Alternatively hooks into these processes for GP Addin would help.
This is a hidden pain of GP admin currently.
This also relates but not depends on another suggestion, of moving the reconcile and check links into SQL for easier management.

Decimals from 5 to 2 on workflow approval emails
Suggested by Mark Muller – Completed – 11 Comments
Currently workflow mails show amounts to 5 decimal places and this is difficult to read and work with. Decimal places should be either 2 decimal places or pick up from the currency setup. -
Support Office 365 Two Factor Authentication
Suggested by John Dunkle – Completed – 7 Comments
When a user has two factor authentication enabled in Office 365, they are unable to use email functionality from within GP. GP will continuously prompt for exchange credentials. Thus, if a user(s) need to email from GP they have to remove the two factor authentication. This could lead to some IT Security issues within the organization. -
Send Email from GP using a 'From' email address
Suggested by Roderick Mccall – Completed – 9 Comments
Provide the ability to send email from Great Plains using a FROM email address either without authentication, or if necessary, using a shared mailbox with EWS, and 64-bit Office. User accounts have no problem sending email remittances using 64-bit Office and EWS in GP. However, using a shared mailbox, no emails send and no errors populate. To workaround this customer needed to use 32-bit Office and MAPI with shared mailbox. -

Add at least 2 text user-defined fields (at least 20 characters) to Transaction Entry (entering journal entries). This is a very common request from our clients

Would be nice to print 1099's on blank paper like we can for W-2's in GP2016 and newer versions of GP. -
Resume Active Development of Management Reporter
Suggested by Marc K – Completed – 7 Comments
Once receiving cumulative updates on a quarterly basis, now the most recent update for Management Reporter is from Feb 2017 (over 1 year ago). The messaging on the status of Management Reporter has been confusing, but it does appear that development has mostly ceased. Please reverse course on this and give Management Reporter the development resources it deserves. Financial Reporting, first via FRx and later via Management Reporter, has been an important feature in GP that should not be abandoned.

Add DBA Name field on Vendor Maintenance window for 1099 Vendors
Suggested by Michael Weaver – Completed – 2 Comments
Add an additional name field to the vendor maintenance window that represents the DBA information for vendors that need to report their 1099's this way. Then program the 1099 report to be smart enough to format the 1099's correctly depending on whether there is a value in the DBA name field or not.
I have dealt with DBA 1099 reporting a number of ways over many years for many clients (e.g. modifying the 1099 report to pull in the Address 3 or contact, or creating a conditional report that prints one thing if one address ID is detected and another thing if another is detected. There are probably many other workarounds as well, however simply adding a field to track this scenario seems to me to be a simple fix that would save a lot of people a lot of time and effort modifying their 1099 reports and/or updating their vendor addresses in ways that otherwise don't make a ton of sense.
