Features that will be rolled back to GP 2016 at year-end time and require table changes:

• Add DBA Name field on Vendor Maintenance window for 1099 Vendors
• 1099-NEC
• 1099-MISC Updates
• The 2021 Tax Table Updates will be released late December.

No update to GP for the Executive Order noted on the tax pages.

• There will be no update to Microsoft Dynamics GP for the Payroll Tax Deferral (Notice 2020-65) released on August 28. This is because the IRS has not published new tax table changes for the deferral.
• The deferral is optional for employers to implement. Any questions regarding the regulation of the tax deferral should be directed to a tax attorney or tax accountant.

Whether this is your first year-end payroll processing or you are a veteran, it’s never too early to start planning. In addition, if you generate 1099-M’s from GP, this webinar is for you. Oh, and one more thing – have you had issues recently with word templates? You also don’t want to miss this webinar.

Dynamics GP Word Templates Not Emailing/Printing After Office Update

After a recent Microsoft Office update, some Dynamics GP users reporting the following error message when either printing to the screen, saving or emailing Word documents: “Word experienced an error trying to open the file.”

The issue is with opening the file, not generating the Word document.  The files will still show in the file location chosen, or in the email you want to send. If you are sending emails to customers or vendors, Microsoft recommends sending them as a PDF rather than a DOCX.  If your customer or vendor has updated Office, they will be unable to open the emailed attachment.

The current work around is to roll back the Office update to the previous version while Microsoft works on a more long-term solution but this is not recommended since the Office update contains security updates.

See Microsoft’s blog here for more information on the issue.

Dynamics GP 18.3, which was released on Monday, October 5, contains a full fix for this issue. Microsoft is also planning to roll the fix back to GP2016.
