This section provides a general overview of how the Setup window works, but it does not discuss the specific setup for each Feature or Tweak. Each Feature or Tweak is covered in the following sections. The subsequent sections will refer back to this Setup section when discussing enabling or disabling the Feature/Tweak.

GP PowerPack contains Modules (more full-featured enhancements to Dynamics GP), and Tweaks (small enhancements or “tweaks” to GP functionality). Each Module or Tweak must be enabled before it can be used—by default NOTHING is enabled regardless of the registration key. This provides a fine level of control over which features are active in your system.

For most Modules/Tweaks, the Registration Key makes them visible in the Setup window, but they are disabled by default. Only the Modules/Tweaks for which you are registered will appear in the Setup window.

A few Modules/Tweaks are available only via the GoTo button if you are registered for them (they are not listed in the main Setup window). For example, the Alerts module setup is accessed from the GoTo button, and that window is used to activate/inactive specific types of Alerts.

Asterisk = Has Additional Setup

Items listed in the Setup window with an ASTERISK have additional setup. Double-click on the Module or Tweak to open the additional setup window. When additional setup is required the message box at the bottom of the window will display “Double-click for additional setup.” In the example above, double click on the words “TWK-SOP: Customer PO – Required*” to open the additional setup window.

For the user making changes in the Setup window, many changes will immediately enable/disable upon closing the Setup window. All other users need to log out then back in to have the new Modules/Tweaks become active/inactive.

If a Module or Tweak does not immediately enable or disable, you may need to log-out of Dynamics GP, and then log back in for the feature change to take effect.

The Modules are listed first, followed by the Tweaks. All Modules and Tweaks are presented in alphabetical order in the Setup window and in this Manual.

Find: The Find box restricts the setup window to show only Modules/Tweaks containing the search term you enter. For example, if you enter “SOP” the window will redisplay to show all Modules/Tweaks containing the word “SOP”. Clear the box to redisplay with all items.

Show Enabled Only: redisplays the Setup window to show only the enabled Modules/Tweaks.
