Creating a report that displays a top 10 list has never been so easy. Now you can write one using Microsoft Dynamics GP SmartList via the steps below.

• Open the Vendor folder in SmartList.
• Click on Columns from the SmartList toolbar.
• Click on Add.
• Highlight the Amount Billed YTD.
• Click OK.
• Click on Search from the SmartList toolbar.
• Enter 10 in the field labeled Maximum Number.
• Click on Order By.
• Highlight Amount Billed YTD.
• Click on Insert.
• Choose Descending in the drop-down box where the displayed default choice is Ascending. This will cause the system to go through all the accounts, selecting the ones with the largest dollar amounts.
• Click OK.
• Scroll until you see Amount Billed YTD column and click on the Column Header twice so the largest dollar amount is on the top (descending order).

The result is a useful and easy-to-update way to display top customers, vendors and others.
