Tech Tips
GP – Account Aliases and Copying Inventory Items
Use Account Aliases
Account Aliases are shortcut names for accounts and are setup in the Account Maintenance screen. Once you have an alias for an account you can use it in any screen where you can select an account number, just enter the alias instead!
Copy an Inventory Item
Did you know you can copy an inventory item? Open the Item Maintenance window in Inventory, enter a new Item ID and click the Copy button. Select the parts of an existing item to copy and press copy.

ISV Offerings
The eRequester Receiving Module reduces time and effort in tracking down packing slips to confirm receipt of goods and for confirming approval of payments for services or non-inventory items. By receiving in eRequester, Accounts Payable will be able to easily compare the invoices with approved POs and confirmed receipts to facilitate the 3-way matching process without the additional paperwork. While Receipt of Goods can typically be done in the PO Module of the ERP system, the eRequester Receiving Module, helps decentralize the process, particularly for non-inventory and service items, so end users can confirm receipt or view receiving information in real-time through a web browser without needed additional ERP licenses or access.
