Reprinting the Outstanding Transactions Report: From Dynamics GP to Business Central

If you’ve spent any real time closing the books in Microsoft Dynamics GP, you probably remember the moment you first realized you couldn’t easily reprint the Outstanding Transactions Report after posting a bank reconciliation. You’d finish the reconcile, move on with your day, and then someone—an auditor, a controller, a curious CFO—would ask for the report again. Cue the awkward workaround.

That little pain point is exactly what Microsoft addressed in Dynamics GP 2013 R2, and it’s worth revisiting today because the underlying need hasn’t gone away. It has just moved to a new platform.

What changed in GP 2013 R2

Starting with GP 2013 R2, if you keep reconcile history in Bank Reconciliation, you can reprint the Outstanding Transactions Report after you’ve posted your reconciliation. It shows up as an option in the Bank Posting Journals report list, and it’s available for any reconcile you complete after upgrading.

On paper, it’s a small enhancement. In practice, it removed a recurring source of friction for accounting teams who needed clean documentation of which checks and deposits were still outstanding at month-end—without having to recreate the report from scratch or dig through paper copies.

Why this still matters in 2026

Bank reconciliation hasn’t gotten less important; if anything, the expectations around it have grown:

• Auditors want a clearer trail. Being able to reproduce the exact outstanding items list as of a posted reconciliation date is now table stakes, not a nice-to-have.

• Finance leaders want faster closes. Every minute spent recreating documentation is a minute not spent on analysis.

• Operations teams want visibility. Outstanding checks and uncleared deposits affect cash forecasting, vendor relationships, and project cash flow.

The GP 2013 R2 change was an early acknowledgment that ERP reporting needs to be repeatable and historically accurate—not just a snapshot in time.

Where Dynamics GP customers stand today

If you’re still running Dynamics GP, you’re not alone—plenty of organizations are. But the landscape has shifted. Microsoft has published an end-of-life roadmap for Dynamics GP, with mainstream support winding down and security updates eventually following. Most GP customers we work with are no longer asking whether to modernize, but when and to what.

For many, the natural successor is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, where bank reconciliation is reimagined with:

• Built-in bank feed integration so transactions flow in automatically

• Posted bank reconciliation history that’s always reportable, not just printable

• Tighter ties between AP, AR, and cash management so outstanding items are visible everywhere they matter

• Cloud-based access for distributed finance teams

The “reprint the report” use case still exists—it’s just handled through saved, queryable history rather than a posting journal option.

The bigger question for finance leaders

Whether you’re on GP, an older version of NAV, or another legacy ERP, the question isn’t really about a single report. It’s about whether your financial system is still a good fit for how your business runs today.

At eIS Business Solutions, we help finance and operations leaders work through that question honestly: what’s working, what’s costing you more than you realize, and what a realistic path forward looks like. Sometimes that means staying put a little longer and tightening up processes. Sometimes it means a structured move to Business Central or another modern platform.

If the Outstanding Transactions Report scenario above sounds familiar—or if you’re starting to map out an ERP strategy for the next few years—we’d be glad to talk it through with you.
