Year-End Closing Documentation – Acumatica & Dynamics GP

Written by Pivotal RidgeJanuary 12, 2021

It’s that time of year again.  Time to dig through files to see where you stored those year-end closing procedures and steps to closeout the year.  If you’re utilizing Dynamics GP (Great Plains) or Acumatica for your ERP system, hopefully this will get you started.  As always, we would recommend creating a backup prior to working through the year-end closing process.

    • Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains)

      • Year-End Closing Procedures
        • Click Here to open the year end closing procedures published directly from Microsoft.
        • Versions Supported: Dynamics GP 2016, Dynamics GP 2015, Dynamics GP 2013, Dynamics GP 2010, Dynamics GP 2018, Dynamics GP

    • Acumatica ERP

      • Year-End Closing Procedures
        • Acumatica‘s year-end closing procedures are documented directly within the application.  The easiest way to find to find them is to search ‘year-end closing’ within the global search bar at the top.  Within the results, select the ‘Help Topics’ tab to find the help documentation.  From there you will see the recommended year-end closing documentation for the version of Acumatica ERP that you are running (whether you’re running Acumatica via SaaS or Cloud, on-site, or within a private cloud, the process is the same).

Considering Cloud (SaaS) ERP Solutions? Why now may be the perfect time

Written by Pivotal RidgeJanuary 4, 2021

This year may be the Perfect Time to Incorporate SaaS/Cloud ERP Solutions into Your Business.  There can be no denying that 2020 was a challenge for businesses across the world. As offices closed and social distancing became commonplace, entire organizations were forced to begin working remotely, placing significant pressure on IT and financial systems.

This pressure only magnified the need for businesses to have a robust financial system available to the entire team anytime, anywhere, and on any device. Even as the world begins to move back to normality, remote working looks set to become more routine, and there has never been a better time to implement SaaS or Cloud ERP software into your company.

Many companies might be hesitant to implement a new system (Acumatica, Netsuite, or Dynamics 365 Business Central, to name a few) in the current environment, but now may be the perfect time for a number of reasons:

1) Affordable

SaaS/Cloud ERP solutions are surprisingly affordable options, particularly when compared to the installation and maintenance costs of an on-site solution. Eliminating the need for the traditional infrastructure and the hardware usually associated with it, means the cost of ownership is greatly impacted.

2) Usability & User Adoption

One of the biggest benefits of utilizing SaaS/Cloud ERP software is that it is incredibly usable, resulting in high user adoption (due to the intuitive user interface). This allows your entire team to access it when required, helping you to streamline the company’s overall performance.

3) Security & Availability

Cybercrime is one of the biggest threats businesses face today, and SaaS/Cloud ERP software features a suite of the latest security tools designed to help you keep your data safe and secure.  With many of today’s systems including both backup and geo-redundancy policies within the solution, businesses rest assured that their data is safe and enjoy easy access regardless of location and device.  In addition, with mobile access at the top of mind, many ERP Solutions built on new technology have this ability natively available to users.

Looking to incorporate cloud solutions into your business?

If you want to ensure your team is able to work effectively no matter where in the world they might be based, Pivotal Ridge Solutions is here for you. Our experienced team is committed to working with businesses and helping them implement high-quality financial system solutions designed to meet their exact requirements.
