This means Dynamics GP will not get Service Packs to update from that aforementioned date. Hence, here are a few more things to know about the Dynamics GP following the end of mainstream support.<\/p>\n<div class=\"badge-bg\"><a href=\" https:\/\/www.nevastech.com\/solutions\/microsoft-dynamics-erp\/microsoft-dynamics-gp\/\">Learn More: Dynamics GP<\/a><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_after_the_end_of_Dynamics_GP_2016_mainstream_support\"><\/span>What happens after the end of Dynamics GP 2016 mainstream support?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This means the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 and 2016 R2 will stop receiving Service Packs post 13 July 2021. To simply put, you will not get year-end updates and a tax table. It translates to not having features like fixed asset depreciation, AP 1099s, and payroll.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One way to do this is to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nevastech.com\/solutions\/microsoft-dynamics-erp\/microsoft-dynamics-gp\/dynamics-gp-upgrade\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft Dyna<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mics GP Upgrade<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span> The upgrade enables users to get additional features like credit card transaction imports, account payable with copy-paste support, user security workflow, extended description on the Accounts Payable entry screen, 1099 NEC form, and a lot more features.<\/p>\n<p>Another solution to get over this shortcoming is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nevastech.com\/blog\/migrate-from-microsoft-dynamics-gp-to-business-central\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">upgrade to Business Central<\/a>. Before choosing either of these solutions, it is best to consult a specialist to learn more about these services and, then to find the best option that suits your business needs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nevastech.com\/solutions\/microsoft-dynamics-365\/microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dynamics 365 Business Central<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a cloud based solution,<\/span>\u00a0which is a lot more secure, efficient, and feature-rich when compared to the Dynamics GP or any other ERP solution.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Microsoft technical adviser, most people worry about Microsoft being supporting just two Dynamics GP versions at the same time. According to technical adviser, there is nothing to worry about this, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as Microsoft will adhere to Dynamics GP Support Modern Lifecycle Policy hence, more Dynamics GP versions will be supported at one time.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft Dynamics GP Extended Support is included in the customers standard<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nevastech.com\/solutions\/microsoft-dynamics-erp\/microsoft-dynamics-gp\/dynamics-gp-support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Dynamics GP Support<\/a>. Though Microsoft Dynamics GP will not get any more mainstream support, it will still provide extended support for Microsoft Dynamics GP which is included in the customers standard support plans.<\/p>\n<div class=\"badge-bg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nevastech.com\/solutions\/microsoft-dynamics-erp\/microsoft-dynamics-gp\/dynamics-gp-support\">Learn More: Dynamics GP Support<\/a><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Must_know_facts\"><\/span>Must know facts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are some of the important points to know about Microsoft Dynamics GP. Despite having no mainstream support, it is still one of the preferred ERP solutions for companies with 50 to 100 employees that generate $10million to $50million revenue.<\/p>\n<p>It does offer next-level controls over inventory, operations, finance for small and medium-sized businesses. For businesses of this class, Dynamics GP offers all features and makes it a flexible and configurable ERP solution. Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 and 2016 R2 are no longer eligible for mainstream support. However, the products are still covered under extended support period for the next five years and it is also applicable for customers with just the standard support plan, which still makes these services safe and secure to use.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information or have any questions about Dynamics GP, please contact us. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To learn more about your options for Dynamics GP upgrade or Dynamics GP to Microsoft Business Central Migration.<\/span> Reach out to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nevastech.com\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nevas Technologies expert team<\/a> to discuss your requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The End of Dynamics GP 2016 Mainstream Support The purpose of this blog is to discuss the impacts of mainstream support ending for Microsoft Dynamics GP from July 2021.
