Depreciation plays substantial portion of company's non-cash expenses and so should be 100% accurate. Additional challenges - bonus depreciation, introduced several years ago. Plus you must have comprehensive reporting on FA locations by store and region. ? EDI purchasing. In Great Plains you should be able to order your inventory via Electronic Document Interchange (EDI) mechanism. You have multiple options to realize EDI - the simplest would be Purchase Order creation in Great Plains Purchase Order Processing/Receiving module and then exporting them into text EDI-fixed-length compliant format. This text file should be forwarded to your supplier and in Great Plains POP you set flags for POs being sent to your vendor ? Retail Management System integration. In the case when you use Microsoft RMS Store Operations and Headquarters - you should consider seamless integration of your daily transactions into Microsoft Great Plains Sales Order Processing (SOP) or Receivables Management (RM) modules.
