Hi friends hopefully you all will be fine. These days I am receiving
many queries regarding Macros in Dynamics GP, many of the users perform routine
repetitive tasks in dynamics GP. Macro is a very useful functionality to perform
routine repetitive tasks in Dynamics GP (all versions). Let us have a look on
how you can record macro for any window in MS Dynamics GP.
For simplicity to learn as starting point, I am using vendor
maintenance window.
Following are some simple steps to record macro to create,
maintain or update vendors in Dynamics GP;
·
Go to
purchase series>>>>cards>>>>vendors
o
On vendor maintenance window you will find “Macro” in “Tools” menu
o
In order to play any macro first you have to
record it so click on Record or otherwise you many also open window using short
keys (Alt+F8)
§
Give path to save macro file and save it on any
easy accessible location on your system.
1.
Using Tab key go to the respective fields on vendor
maintenance window i.e.
a.
for creating vendor go to Vendor ID field and
type Vendor ID
b.
using tab
move to vendor name field and type vendor name
c.
Using tab move to address ID and type address ID
d.
Using Mouse go to vendor class and type class
name, it is assumed that you are using vendor classes.

After completing data entry click save to save
updated records and return to Tools menu from where we started recording macro,
to stop recording.
