Microsoft Dynamics GP is open to ecommerce software developers through such tools and SDK as eConnect, GP Integration Manager. Plus you can further customize ecommerce shopping cart transformation to Dynamics GP Sales Order Processing Invoice in Microsoft Dexterity (Dexterity triggers) or in MS SQL Server Level (SQL Insert or Update triggers).
We already addressed generic ecommerce programming topics for Microsoft Dynamics GP in former articles and blogs. In order to implement ecommerce integration to Dynamics GP, you should consider your local Great Plains Partner, VAR and Reseller to look nationwide and cooperate with Microsoft Dynamics GP ecommerce partner, as ecommerce integration requires high exposure to Dynamics GP web technology layers, and you should not automatically expect that CPA oriented firm will carry C#, VB.Net and eConnect programming expertise (in some cases they do, but those would be rather exceptions). We are specializing in advanced Dynamics GP technology related aspects: Dexterity, eConnect, Dynamics GP SDK, Extender, Advanced GP Integration Manager methods 1. Dynamics GP generic ecommerce integration programming. You can deploy such tools as Web Services for Dynamics GP or directly eConnect libraries in your ecommerce Visual Studio web application. In any case - your ecommerce integration application will deploy eConnect as architectural foundation. eConnect encrypted stored procedures replicate Dynamics.DIC Great Plains Dexterity business logic (however we would like to give good credits to eConnect, as it is more Object Oriented Programming compliant, comparing to Dexterity Sanscript, where procedural programming orientation is obvious). Programming in Dexterity directly is possible, however if objects, libraries and methods are available via eConnect, and eConnect is more C# or VB.Net programmer user friendly comparing to Dynamics GP Dexterity, we recommend you to concentrate on eConnect self study and training 2. Dynamics GP Integration Manager ecommerce integration and its scheduling. IM is more end user friendly tool and as drawback, it doesn't allow you to manipulate IM integration calling directly from your ecommerce web shopping cart application. In our opinion, however, it is much easier to setup integration and if you are done with setup, you can schedule it to run one demand, or in advanced cases to call it via Windows Macro addons available on free o shareware software markets 3. eCommerce SOP Batch Posting options. Neither eConnect, nor Dynamics GP Integration Manager offer you automatic GP batch posting, and this is related to Corporate ERP architecture, where you have to review each transaction and batch being Corporate ERP user or decision maker. We are offering you a shortcut - Alba Spectrum Posting Server, which can post batches directly scheduled from your Microsoft Visual Studio Web Application4. How to get help?
