Jet Reports for Dynamics GP comes with a very good selection of sample reports. These sample reports are an excellent resource – not only to see what Jet Basics does, but how the reports are built!
Many of those sample reports rely on something called ‘Friendly Names’.
Friendly names are names that properly describe the content of that SQL Table, or SQL View… they are, well, friendly 🙂 Rather than your typical naming convention for GP – like GL20000.
Not only are the sample reports built using these friendly names, but it makes it much easier to use.
Also Jet Reports comes with several useful SQL Views… both the friendly names and SQL Views get installed using the GP Update Utility.

Does this sound familiar? “I can’t close my fiscal year yet… the audit is not finished.”
Closing a fiscal year in Dynamics GP does a few things, but in particular, it closes the Profit and Loss account balances out to the retained earnings account.
Many customers fear closing their fiscal year because their previous years work is not complete. This causes complications with summary windows as well as with Financial Reporting.
I believe, in most cases, that the fiscal year can be closed right on schedule… just like closing any other month… no need to wait… no need to rebuild reports to create a make shift ‘balance brought forward’. Just use the ‘Post to History’ functionality.
Let’s take a brief look at this…
