Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS) delivers a complete point-of sale solution that integrates with a number of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and accounting applications, helping retailers connect information and processes, adapt to mid-market requirements, and drive a lower cost of ownership. Built on Microsoft SQL Server database technologies, Microsoft Dynamics RMS enables retailers to integrate data generated at stores across their retail chain with merchandising systems, warehouse systems, and other back-office enterprise systems or portals, including Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. A number of add-on solutions from Certified Microsoft Partners are available for retailers using Microsoft Dynamics RMS with Microsoft Dynamics ERP applications or other providers. Your reselling partner can help you identify the best one to suit your business needs.

| • | General Ledger. Along with easy viewing of summary sales data, you can view payouts, overages and shortages, surcharges, and manual inventory adjustments from within Microsoft Dynamic GP General Ledger—without the need to re-enter data or manually reconcile transactions. | | • | Purchase order processing. Track the inventory received at individual stores by transferring purchase order receipts—including partial ones—from Microsoft Dynamics RMS to the Microsoft Dynamics GP Purchase Order Processing module. The process is completed in just a few easy steps. From there, you can use the Microsoft Dynamics GP Payables Management module to pay the supplier and update the General Ledger with the appropriate accounting transaction. | | • | Receivables management. You can use Microsoft Dynamics GP to see what's going on in each of your stores. Sales data from Microsoft Dynamics RMS—including credit card sales, layaway, and back orders—moves through receivables management and finally into general ledger applications. Every transaction that you see in the Microsoft Dynamics RMS is now viewable in Microsoft Dynamics GP. Plus, the transactional data automatically transfers into the Microsoft Dynamics GP Bank Reconciliation module, so that your accountants don't have to enter it manually. | | • | Bank Reconciliation. Eliminate double entry for critical retail processes, including cash, check, and credit card sales; on-account customer transactions and payments; and work order, layaway, and back order payments. |
