Grant Access to Mekorma Alternate Windows

Mekorma Payment Hub uses alternate Microsoft Dynamics GP windows for processing payables transaction and batch payments. Security must be granted to these alternate windows for each user printing checks.

Setup an Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID

The first step to grant security to alternate windows is to set up an Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID that gives access to the Mekorma Windows. If you already have other Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports, you will want to add this to the existing ID that applies to your AP team. If you also use Mekorma Payment Hub for US or Canadian Payroll you can add payroll access to the same Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID:

1. Log in to Microsoft Dynamics GP as a system administrator.
   

2. Open the Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports window (Administration Area Page > Setup > System > Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports).

3. Select an Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID (or create a new one) and enter the following values in the fields:
   • Product: Mekorma MICR
   • Type: Windows
   • Series: All

Note that Mekorma MICR was the original product name for the Mekorma Payment Hub and was retained to avoid disruption to existing users.

4. In the Alternate /Modified Forms and Reports List, open the folders (by clicking the + sign) and verify that Mekorma MICR is selected.
   

* Dynamics GP Role and Task security will still be used to allow or prevent user access to each window. The Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID in effect tells Dynamics GP: for users that are allowed to use any particular window, use the Mekorma version instead of the GP version. Since Dynamics GP allows you to assign a single Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID the simplest setup is to create one Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID for everyone and use individual Role and Task assignments to turn the windows on and off.

Assign Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID to Users

The second step is to assign the Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID to each of your Payables and Payroll Users

1. Open the User Security Setup window (Administration Area Page > Setup > System > User Security).

2. For each User/Company combination, ensure that you have designated a Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports ID that includes the Mekorma windows.
