If you are eCommerce .Net c#, VB or SQL developer, you need to know eConnect -
Microsoft Dynamics GP Great Plains SDK for e-commerce developers architecture and
limitations. eConnect was specially built up for eCommerce programmers, however at
the same time it complies to GP Dexterity architecture frameworks, such as GP
batches and transactions posting is GP user prerogative. If you as eCommerce
designer plan to post Gp transactions or batches automatically from your e-commerce
web application, you will nee either Albaspectrum autoposting server or program
Great Plains Dexterity source code with your internal programmers or Dex
subcontractors. If you expect eCommerce website just to create so-called working
orders or invoices in backend ERP Great Plains SOP Sales Order Processing module,
then you are fine with eConnect development and deployment only. However if you
only expect GP to fulfill invoices with goods delivery, then autoposting might be
required. The rest of this article is dedicated to technology highlights:
1. Autoposting as Microsoft Dynamics GP Dexterity source code application. There is
the way to command GP engine to post specific batch in any GP module: GL, SOP, POP,
AR, AP, Payroll, Inventory control. However if you think this is easy solution,
this is not the case, you need at least 5 years of Great Plains Dexterity
programming with exposure to source code (DYNAMICS.DIC with all the sanscripts code
not stripped out)
2. After Hours Posting in GP user interface. This is natural solution, when you
have limited number of orders per day, let's say 20 or up to 100. In this case if
order size is feasible to sustain your business, you can hire Great Plains users,
who will manually post your daily or weekly Sales Orders batches and transfer them
for fulfillment and shipment to shipping department.
3. eCommerce integration to GP notes. There are several tools for you to consider,
each has pluses and minuses as you can expect: eConnect - if you have developers
inhouse, consider first eConnect as it is what Microsoft Business Solutions
recommends in long run. If you think you are low level orders per day business,
consider Great Plains Integration Manager (10-1000 transactions, maybe more if you
consider IM automated integration with some custom logic to launch IM)
