Great Plains Implementation for Non-Profit Organization overview for consultant
Grant Management is often required for non-for-profit organization, where you are distributing grants on behalf of donors to qualified grant recipients. Microsoft Business Solutions specially recommends Dynamics GP ERP for Grant Management and Commitments
In this small publication we will come across Grant
Management Module functionality, implementation and possible
customization. Great Plains should fit
to all spectra of charities and funds: from small fund, ran by individual enthusiast
to large scale nation-wide fund:
1.
Analytical Accounting. AA is the platform for Grant Management
Module. However, you could expect that
GM deploys only fraction of Analytical Accounting features: dimensions,
Accounting Class, which enables tracking in GL, Receivable Management, Payable
Management, POP, Sales Order Processing and Inventory Control modules
2.
Grant object in Great Plains is associated with
Grant dimension in AA. Grant Management
reporting deploys Analytical Accounting queries. Query result could be sent to MS Excel
3.
Grant Sponsors.
These are extensions to Great Plains customers. You can change grant fund from Grant Sponsor
screen automatically, if required
4.
Multicurrency setup. It is required for
Analytical Accounting and so ? for Grant Management module. If you do not really use multicurrency, set
it up just for US Dollar (or your local country respected currency)
5.
Commitments.
Just to give you several hints.
Non-for-profit organization often goes beyond the typical Purchase Order
Processing, where you have to show amounts , committed to future purchases for
trustees review. This is where Great
Plains Commitments do the job
