B2B eCommerce for Microsoft Dynamics GP

We completely agree with you and encourage you to look for connectors and integration solution.  You should do your homework and decide on the reasonable balance between controlling most of the ecommerce objects, such as inventory items, catalog, pricelist (including special pricing for customer groups or individual client) either in your Shopping Cart application or in Great Plains Dynamics.  The simplest approach is rely on your Shopping Cart, however when you are selling on account – more B2B e-commerce features might be required or needed, this is when you decide with your Dynamics GP ecommerce partner on delegating more ecommerce business logic directly to your Corporate ERP application.  This small publication is based on real product available for implementation, where reasonable and even heavy logic alterations are possible:
1. Simple ecommerce operations – implementation is wizard driven and straightforward.  This was one of the goals, to enable ecommerce module to be implemented in the matter of one or few hours.  You select your ecommerce shopping cart platform from drop down list, pick the site for ecommerce, SOP Type, and few other important parameters.  If you are not very familiar with Great Plains Distributions modules – you may have your Dynamics GP consultant handy to help you – but if you know basics of GP Inventory Control, Sales Order Processing modules, you should be able to do it on your own
2. Moving some of the B2B ecommerce logic to Dynamics GP.  In this scenario integration becomes bidirectional.  Leading ecommerce shopping cart platform did a long way in enabling multiple Business-To-Business features, such as catalogs, price lists, so as the first step you may decide to discuss with your Dynamics GP Reseller or contact our office on what is possible to extend directly in your shopping cart application.  We provide some bidirectional integration features out of the box, however B2B scenarios are very diversified and you should or may expect some custom tuning and programming
3. Large ecommerce retailers.  Here you may need ecommerce real time or quasi real time integration with your warehouse floor picking and packing, shipping and receiving, barcode scanning based warehouse management system – this is our specialization and we should be good point to start researching WMS direction, seamlessly integrated with your ecommerce website.  We also have such products as Automatic Batch Posting Server with Workflow, where you can force your Manufacturing Orders to be integrated automatically (with some user interaction) and posted without human intervention, this module also posts ecommerce SOP batches as well as the batches of all the origins in Great Plains Dynamics
