New Features in HR and Payroll in Dynamics GP 2016 R2

 

Figure 1 – how to get to the new employment history window in GP 2016 R2 – US Payroll only

A very simple, but powerful improvement made to the payroll and human resource module is the new ability to track history on termination and rehire dates for employees. Any time a hire date, adjusted hire date, date inactivated, last day worked or termination date is updated in the system, that information will be saved and can be viewed through the employee history inquiry window. Tracking employee history with the company has now become simple.

Other payroll and human resource improvements include:

• Vendor addresses and accounts can be established in the payroll vendor setup window, allowing for a different distribution than those currently assigned to the vendor.
• A warning is now available for potential double deductions for mandatory arrears deductions due to a previous posting.
• Tip tax amounts are now included in distribution pre-posting reports for viewing before posting.
• An option is now available to exclude inactive pay codes from lookup windows throughout payroll.
• An enhanced payroll posting accounts setup now exits with navigation lists having filter and sort capabilities along with excel export and import functionality.
