Great Plains Dynamics or its new name Microsoft Dynamics GP might be challenging in its customization and programming technologies, especially Barcode scanning and integration in real, RFID or batch modes.

For existing Great Plains customers we recommend moderate to conservative approach,Supply Chain Management and WMS for Microsoft Dynamics GP Highlights Articles where you are waiting for the new version of core Dynamics GP or your required and critical GP ISV Partner add-on to be released, beta tested and preferably be proven through couple of service packs:
1. Possible Dynamics GP customization scenarios, Scenario #1.  Let’s assume that you have complex Warehouse Management and Assembly system, which is coded in-house by one of your IT team programmers in MS Access, Oracle or MySQL/PHP.  You are deploying Dynamics GP Manufacturing Order module, where you do want to push your MO from WMS and External assembly system up to the point of MO posting.  In that case we offer you some touches to Alba Spectrum Posting Server, where we write relatively simple Dexterity Sanscript codes (VB, C#, you name it) in the Workflow sections of the Posting Server Interface – and your Manufacturing Orders are processed and posted in Dynamics GP automatically
2. Scenario #2.  You are planning to implement Warehouse Management System where you receive your merchandize in GP POP Purchase Receipts.  However existing WMS do not provide required custom functionality – you need Item Serial number and Weight to be appended into Item Barcode Label with special formula for Merchandize retail price tag.  Here we roll out our Dynamics GP WMS extension source code and incorporate changes into its business logic according to your requirements
3. Scenario #3 – mid-size retailer.  Let’s assume that you are franchise network of the restaurants, country deli stores or mid-size retailer.  You already committed to one of the POS (Point Of Sale) platform, maybe Microsoft RMS, Counterpoint or another brand.  You want your POS system to be seamlessly integrated to Dynamics GP, where Great Plains is chosen to be the system, where master records and transactions are controlled: Inventory Items, Prices, Sales campaigns.  Perfect, we are opening our source code for the integration between Microsoft RMS and Great Plains to make changes in the SQL scripts
