Assuming that customer pays by credit card right away,Great Plains VAR newsflash: Posting Server and Automatic Batches posting Articles and you then send Sales Order Processing Invoice to Great Plains through eConnect programming logic – there is good idea to finish all the work in Dynamics GP, such as apply deposit against invoice and post SOP Invoice or Batch.  However eConnect, and this is limitation of Great Plains Dexterity architecture, doesn’t have functionality to post GP batches.  You need Alba Spectrum Posting Server or Autopost.  Please read product highlights:

1.       Dynamics GP Dexterity source code programming and batch posting.  As the developer or SQL programming, all you do is place the batch name to the queue table, triggering GP that batch is ready to be posted.  Then, seeing batch in the queue, Posting Server initiates exactly the same posting process as if user hits Post Batch in GP user interface.  Please, note – as we use GP Dexterity posting logic, posting server is very reliable in GP version upgrades

2.       GP modules covered.  As we are using native Great Plains Dexterity posting logic, all modules are covered, where you have batch or transaction posting functionality: SOP, POP, General Ledger, Payroll, Inventory Control to give you good examples

3.       Posting Server over stored procedures designed from scratch.  If you have SQL programmers in IT department, the idea might be great on the first glance, however simple comment like that may be discouraging.  Great Plains ERP application was written in Great Plains Dexterity shell, and it took several years of efforts for Great Plains Software back in earlier 1990th with large development team to make it happen.  Batch posting logic is crucial and we could estimate that posting programming porting is close to 30 percent
