Dynamics GP provides very robust functionality in lookup windows for finding data such as accounts, vendors, customers, and items. Various fields can be used for sorting or searching and some additional fields are always provided by default. However, if all of that is not enough, Dynamics GP provides an option for administrators to add additional fields to lookups. This recipe demonstrates how to accomplish that.
Before using advanced lookups, they need to be set up. Up to four custom lookups can be created for each type in the system. We will perform the following steps now:
Select Administration in the navigation pane under the Company heading and then select Advanced Lookups.
In the Advanced Lookups window, use the Lookup button (magnifying glass) to select the Lookup Name.
For our example, select Customers. In the first Sort By field, scroll down and select Zip.
Change the Description to
Zip Code
.Click on Save to save the lookup and close...
