It's pretty sad when you know how many times you have to click the cancel button on the report dialog boxes after you post a certain Dynamics GP batch.
Finally, my laziness wanting to avoid constantly clicking a Cancel button finally overtook my laziness to disable all posting reports, and I finally spent 10 seconds to create the script to turn off all posting reports in Fabrikam.
There. Done.
I now need to make it a standard part of the GP installation process after I create the Fabrikam company.
Batches and posting reports...two anachronisms of the ERP world that GP will probably never abandon...
Ask a NetSuite consultant about their "batches" and "posting reports" if you want to see some puzzled reactions.
