Distributions series in Great Plains include Sales Order Processing,Warehouse Management and Barcode Dynamics GP Partner Articles Purchase Order Processing, Inventory Control and extensions to these modules, such as Purchase Confugurator (simple MRP solution).  When you are selecting WMS or another part of SCM, it is often reasonable to expect some customization budget, as in such processes as Sales Order Allocation, Merchandize Purchase Receipts companies have their own unique way of competing on the SCM network.  In this small paper we would like to emphasize how WMS could be realized for Microsoft Dynamics GP:
1. WMS as extension to Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing and Inventory Control.  Sometimes you see also Bill of Materials (if you do picking and packing or simple manufacturing) or even several modules from Great Plains Manufacturing suite.  Inventory intersite transfers, physical count, adjustments are done in WMS by exposing Inventory Transactions to Barcode scanning.  Sales Order Fulfillment is typically done in SOP Sales Order by enabling manual line allocation via barcode scanning.  Similar in Purchase Order processing module, you expose to barcoding Purchase Receipt for WMS inventory replenishment functionality
2. Selecting WMS Technology Partner.  While Dynamics GP pool of resellers could include CPA oriented organizations, typically tuned to do Corporate ERP Software licenses sale and generic implementation – if your goal is real Barcoding, Logistics and WMS modules and logic implementation may require additional homework and background check in picking your Microsoft Dynamics GP VAR and ISV.  Barcoding itself is pretty challenging in such technologies as RFID, handheld devices, programming for Barcode scanner Operating System (fitting to small screen dimensions and scaling down WMS client).  You should be sure that your proposed Dynamics GP Barcode Partner has large number of SCM and WMS successful implementations under its belt
