Great Plains Dynamics was originally coded in Great Plains Dexterity, and if you are looking to customize, modify, or any other sense alter Dynamics GP – Microsoft Dexterity is good candidate to review. Great Plains implementation typically requires several steps: Dynamics GP License Sale, Business Processes Mapping, Pilot Data Migration and Conversion, User Training, Production Beginning Balances entry, First Month Parallel Accounting entries in Legacy ERP and Dynamics GP, First Month closing in GL and then you should be comfortable on your own in using Great Plains Dynamics GP. Let’s review Great Plains implementation and support options:
1. Dynamics GP Partner Selection. This is in our opinion the most critical initial step. Your Dynamics GP Reseller should be experienced in your industry, have reasonable technical expertise in Great Plains data conversion and migration, reporting , integration, customization, EDI, functional and technical consulting
2. Dynamics GP Business Portal and Ecommerce. If your business is participating in ecommerce model or spread over several regions or internationally, you should review Microsoft Dynamics GP Business Portal and eConnect as ecommerce design tools.

At this time Dynamics GP 10.0 is coming with Business Portal version 10.0
3. E-commerce Great Plains Batch posting option. If you would like to post your Sales Order Processing Invoices with customer credit card payments directly from ecommerce web application, please consider deploying Alba Spectrum Autopost or automatic batches posting server
