One Expert Help Desk for All Your Needs

Our U.S.-based Customer Support team is here to help you get the most out of your solution, and we’ve built that support around you rather than around a ticket queue.

Every customer is paired with a dedicated, non-billable Client Account Manager who can help with licensing, renewals, and general guidance whenever you need it.

Beyond that, one knowledgeable help desk handles support questions, issues, and how-to guidance by phone or email, and when it’s faster to just take a look ourselves, we can securely connect to your environment to resolve issues directly.

Behind the scenes, every case receives their own intake, triage, and escalation through Dynamics 365 CRM, so nothing falls through the cracks, and you always have full visibility into where the work stands.

BizCon 2026: Beyond GP, Built for What’s Next

For years, GPUC has been the place where the Dynamics community comes together to learn, connect, and get better at the tools that run their businesses. This year, that event is evolving — and getting a new name. GPUC is now BizCon 2026: Beyond GP, Built for What’s Next.

Same community. Same experts. A bigger focus for where technology is headed.

Why the Change?

The rename reflects where our customers are going. Many of you are still deep in Dynamics GP — and that’s not going anywhere. But more and more of you are also exploring Business Central and, increasingly, AI and Copilot. BizCon brings all of that under one roof.

What’s staying the same:

• The same team of experts who implement this technology every day
• Deep, practical Dynamics GP content
• The community and connections you come back for year after year

What’s new:

• Expanded Business Central and Copilot/AI tracks
• A dedicated Industry & ISV day
• A virtual-only Copilot/AI day

AI Isn’t Coming. It’s Already Here.

Here’s the truth: AI isn’t some future technology waiting to arrive. It’s already sitting inside the tools you use every day.

At BizCon, you’ll see exactly what Copilot can do for real work — things like:

• Closing the books faster
• Matching bank transactions in minutes
• Drafting the customer email for you
• Answering “why is this number off?” in plain language

BizCon 2026 at a Glance

• When: November 16–20, 2026
• Where: Microsoft Campus, Fargo, ND — or attend virtually
• What: 80+ educational sessions with live product demos
• Who: Business Central, Copilot/AI, and Dynamics GP users — from novice to 20-year veteran

The week at a glance:

• Nov 16 — Industry and ISV Immersion Day
• Nov 17–19 — Business Central, Dynamics GP, and AI Sessions
• Nov 20 — Copilot/AI Sessions (Virtual-Only)

Who It’s Built For

Whether you work in accounting and finance, supply chain and distribution, HR and payroll, operations, or you’re leading the business — you’ll leave with ideas you can put to work Monday morning.

What to Expect

BizCon is more than a lineup of slides.

Expect:

• Hands-on workshops
• Live product demonstrations
• 80+ sessions across Business Central, Copilot/AI, and Dynamics GP
• The kind of hallway conversations that turn into your next big idea

More Than Sessions

The learning doesn’t stop when the sessions end:

• After-hours networking events
• A Sponsor Expo, where you can meet the ISVs extending your system
• Networking with peers from companies large and small, across many industries
• Sessions, breaks, and meals built for connecting

Why It’s Worth Your Time

BizCon meets you where you are.

Whether you’re brand new or a 20-year veteran, you’ll walk away with:

• Sharper skills
• A clearer view of what’s next
• A real plan for bringing AI into your organization

Mastering Manual Payroll Adjustments in Dynamics GP

Payroll corrections happen to the best of us. Whether it’s a missed wage, an incorrect tax withholding, or a benefit balance that needs fixing, knowing how to handle manual payroll adjustments in Dynamics GP is essential – not just for clean books, but for W-2s, 941 reporting, GL accuracy, and employee trust.

In our webinar, “Mastering Manual Payroll Adjustments in Dynamics GP,” President of Implementation Specialists, Deb Sletmoen walked through the most common payroll correction scenarios and shared best practices for fixing them the right way.

Here’s a recap of what we covered.

Why Payroll Adjustments Matter

Even small payroll errors can ripple through your system – impacting payroll history, W-2s, 941 reporting, the General Ledger, and most importantly, employee trust. That’s why understanding how and when to make corrections is so critical.

The Manual Adjustment Toolkit

In Dynamics GP, you have three main tools for making payroll corrections:

  • Manual Checks – Best for missed payments, off-cycle checks, or urgent corrections. Updates payroll history, GL, and bank.
  • Adjustments – Best for tax, wage, or benefit corrections that don’t require a new payment. Updates payroll history and GL, but not the bank.
  • Beginning Balances – Best for conversions or historical loads. Updates payroll history only.

Which Correction Type Should You Use?

Correction Type Updates
Payroll
History		 Updates
GL		 Updates
Bank		 Best Use Case
Manual Check Yes Yes Yes Missed payment, off-cycle check, urgent correction
Adjustment Yes Yes No Tax, wage, or benefit correction without new payment
Beginning Balance Yes No No Conversion or historical load

Common Payroll Correction Scenarios

Here are the situations we see most often:

  • Missed wages
  • Incorrect taxes
  • Benefit corrections (HSA, insurance, retirement, employer contributions)
  • Overpayments
  • State tax errors

Walkthrough: Manual Checks vs. Adjustments

Manual Checks

Navigate to Transactions > Payroll > Manual Checks, choose your check type, enter the details (it hits Bank Rec), and review distributions – this will update the GL.

Adjustments

Use these when the net and gross impact must remain zero. Separate transactions by type, and always check distributions to review the impact on Bank Rec.

State Tax Fixes and Reconciliation

When fixing state tax errors, you’ll need to correct both taxable wages and withholding, move them from the incorrect state to the correct one, confirm with the State Tax Summary, and verify quarterly and annual impacts.

For Payroll Reconciliation, always:

  • Validate employee summary records and payroll history
  • Verify with before/after summary reports
  • Confirm dates for both 941 and GL impacts

Year-End Considerations

Year-end is when payroll errors come back to haunt you. To avoid W-2 and quarterly filing headaches:

  • Make adjustments timely with good record keeping
  • Validate 941 impact as you go
  • Keep an audit trail for backup

Reporting Validation Checklist

Before you call a correction “done,” run through this list:

  • Gross-to-Net
  • Payroll Summary
  • Payroll Register
  • GL Posting Reports

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Need More Power? Try wsTOOLS

For more advanced payroll corrections, our wsTOOLS suite includes utilities built specifically to make these fixes easier:

  • PayrollRewind
  • PayrollReset
  • PayCorrect
  • State Tax Correct

Best Practices to Live By

  • Test first – always use your test company
  • Back up your database
  • Document every adjustment
  • Reconcile payroll thoroughly
  • Corrections get messy fast – don’t hesitate to call for help

Final Takeaways

There are lots of ways to handle payroll adjustments in Dynamics GP – but the keys are simple:

  • Know your numbers
  • Use the right correction type
  • And remember: no batch works!
