Rockton Software’s SmartFill: Can’t Live Without It


Email | Print

A couple of weeks ago, I was working in Microsoft Dynamics GP entering credit card information into a payables transaction. This involves several Account Number entries in repetition, and SmartFill makes this so incredibly easy, so easy, I take it for granted. Even though my account length is only a few characters, I still have no idea if the Travel account is 41500-10 or some other set of numbers. I just type “TRAVEL” into the Account Number field, and SmartFill puts in the digits for me. I love this tool—always have.

 

While working on this entry, I found a need to modify a GP report. GP has this long-known-never-gonna-get-fixed bug that disables all customizations once you enter Report Writer. Once I exited Report Writer and returned to my data entry project, SmartFill was no longer working. I only had a few more entries to do, so I hit the looking glass button and looked up the next account the old way, a laborious 12-step process. I was so frustrated that I rebooted GP, a two minute process, just so I could get SmartFill’s functionality back again. How anyone can stand to do data entry this way is beyond me.

 

SmartFill is incredible. I use it myself every time I’m in Microsoft Dynamics GP. Until you use it once, you just cannot appreciate how ridiculous life is without it.
