If you are in the ecommerce or any other Corporate ERP data exposure to the web research or decision making phase, consider this publication as orientation session. We are trying to follow Microsoft Dynamics GP ERP business logic, formerly this ERP and MRP application was known as Great Plains Dynamics, eEnterprise.

One of the major goals was to enable e-commerce module installation and rapid implementation within hours,eCommerce Wizard Driven Solution For Microsoft Dynamics GP Articles taking mystery out of web design and electronic commerce World.  And the second goal was to give you solution, which is in essence connector or enabler for existing and working eCommerce application to be just connected with several simple (or if you are not ecommerce programmer, maybe simple to some complexity and technology level home work might be expected):
1. eCommerce shopping cart.  Our idea is simple - there is no further need to go into this plug-ins market and create another new B2B or B2C oriented shopping cart.  Please, in eCommerce installation wizard, simply choose your Shopping Cart Platform: Magento, Asp.Net Store Front or Nop Commerce (more options are just around the corner, as we are writing these lines in May of 2010).  And we should give them a good plus for doing wonderful job in Pricing, Tax calculation, Credit Card payment processing - all these routines if they are done in eCommerce Shopping Cart, please take it for granted there and do not move it for processing to Microsoft Dynamics GP.  And plus - enjoy capitalizing on investments into existing custom programmed e-commerce web site with chosen shopping cart
2. Integration Technology.  It is Alba Spectrum Order Connector, proven set of SQL Stored Procedures, opening Dynamics GP Sales Order Processing module documents: Invoice, Sales Order, Return, Quote for external application integration.  Integration is in quasi real time
3. eCommerce is working in Concert with Warehouse Management System and Supply Chain Management Extensions.  This Executive level presentation and Video was demonstrated on Convergence 2010 in Atlanta.  If you are mid-size or large eCommerce retailer or wholesaler, WMS, SCM, Logistics, Distribution and Make on Order Barcoding based solutions might be essential.  If eCommerce B2B or B2C customer places e-commerce originated order, immediately pays on checking out by the credit card, now your competitive advantage is to provide instant CC payment processing and sending order to you Warehouse floor for Fulfillment, items allocation, assembly on order (when required), picking and packing and finally shipping and receiving (where you simply send your ecommerce customer USPS, FedEX, UPS tracking number).  Our WMS module works directly out of Dynamics GP SOP, POP and Inventory Control documents and master records and it has Barcode scanner client software and WMS server application, talking to Dynamics GP SQL Server via ODBC connection
4. Going Crossing the international border.  If you are multinational corporation and you are expanding internationally with Dynamics GP (or you have to pick your Corporate ERP platform for the overseas facility) , Warehouse Management or eCommerce - there are several aspects of International Corporate ERP applications to be checked out.  The first one would probably be the Localization.  ERP localization includes translation to the foreign language and supporting targeted country Tax and Corporate Reporting legislation.  Currently with Microsoft Dynamics GP version 10.0 and 2010 (just released in May 2010) is localized in USA, Canada (including French Canadian version for Quebec/Montreal), Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Spanish  speaking Latin America, Oceania, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore.  Dynamics GP is also available in Arabic with reasonable level of localization for the Persian gulf countries and Saudi Arabia.  Dynamics GP has light translation to majority of languages (without tax compliance consideration) in Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, Dutch, German
5. International alternatives to Dynamics GP as potential ecommerce platform.  Our opinion might be subjective, we recommend you to consider SAP Business One as budget international solution or Microsoft Dynamics AX (here you have luxury Corporate MRP options, such as Process Manufacturing, for example)
