If you are integrating ecommerce web application with Microsoft Great Plains and deploy such integrating SDK as eConnect, then you should know the option to automatically post batches in GP as they are imported from your e-commerce front end
In GP, as you should know the background technology is Great Plains Dexterity with DYNAMICS.DIC where business logic is stored. eConnect itself is imitating Dex business logic in encrypted SQL stored procedures, however you typically can not or discouraged from modifying these SQL stored procs. Alba Spectrum Posting Server deploys Microsoft Dexterity internal logic and so it is simple and at the same time pretty version-proof. Lets come to highlights:
1. eConnect restrictions. Well, eConnect is great tool and Software Development Kit, however it assumes that you are normal GP user and you post your SOP, POP, AR, AP, IV GL batches through Great Plains user interface.

2. Dexterity Batch Posting programming. Dex is proprietary tool and it is really complex, so we do not recommend you to break through Microsoft Dexterity learning curve to come to the point of being able to program eConnect batches posting
3. Integration Manager batches posting. As SQL programmer, all you need to do is to place IM integrated batch to queuing table for triggering it to be posted by Posting Server
4. eConnect C# and VB programming. These programming languages are recommended to program eConnect integrations
