Great Plains or Dynamics GP ecommerce custom integration
Category: ComputersMicrosoft Dynamics GP version 10.0 and 9.0 is open to ecommerce web programmer through its SDK eConnect.
If you are C# or VB .Net Microsoft Visual Studio software
developer, you should be able to program integration with such Dynamics GP
objects as: customer, inventory item, employee, vendor, GL account (and more)
and also be able to integrate transactions: Sales Order, Quote, Invoice,
Return, Purchase Order, Purchase Receipt, Payroll transaction, AP voucher, AP
payment, AR customer invoice and customer payment to give you the idea. eConnect is under substantial expansion and
you may expect new objects to be covered in the future Dynamics GP
versions. If you are starting ecommerce
project from scratch (when you do not have legacy ecommerce application and the
history of the business or franchise), then you should probably look for
out-of-the-shelf products (and we would be happy to recommend you existing
ecommerce add-ons). However, if you have to respect legacy ecommerce website
and shopping cart, you should take custom programming approach and we offer you
here technical highlights:
1.
Dynamics GP Sales Order Processing connector. Great Plains Sales Order Processing module is
one of the most popular and especially popular in eCommerce integrating
scenarios. If you are doing Invoice and
payment taking from ecommerce, we recommend you to map these transactions to
SOP Invoice and Customer deposit against the invoice
2.
Dynamics GP ecommerce catalogue. Catalog is the set of Great Plains Inventory
control items. In GP you can have
inventory items as material items (inventoried items), service and
miscellaneous charges (if your business charges membership services for example)
and other types
3.
Catalog Price Lists. In direct eConnect you can manipulate
standard Dynamics GP inventory control module price lists. If you need customer specific price formulae,
please consider developing simple custom application , and then combine eConnect
functionality with SQL custom stored procedures
4.
eConnect Batch Posting. We recommend you Alba Spectrum Posting Server
to schedule automatic batch posting directly from ecommerce web application
