eConnect allows you, being generic C#, VB.Net programmerwith good SQL and XML skills to program Great Plains objects manipulation:Customer, Address, Sales Invoice, Customer Payment and other attributes ofecommerce shopping cart. eConnect, beingcoded in SQL Server Stored Procedures (they are encrypted, so you probablyshould not expect to trace SQL code for Great Plains business logic there). In this small publication we would like toshare with you ecommerce coding experience and Dynamics GP automatic batchposting from eConnect application directly: 1. Olderversions of Great Plains Dynamics GP. Ifyou are on GP 8.0, 7.5, 7.0, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0 or earlier versions, we recommendyou to upgrade to Dynamics GP 10.0 as for this version eConnect is reallyadvanced. If you do not haveregistration key, probably due to the fact of lapsing in Dynamics GP GreatPlains annual maintenance program, consider deploying Sales Order Connector, orset of SQL stored procedures, created for ecommerce web developers of olderGreat Plains version to connect ecommerce shopping cart with GP Sales OrderProcessing module, please call us for details. If you are on Pervasive SQL or Ctree, your options are very limited, youcan still try to program ODBC connection to Pervasive SQL 2000 database, butthen you will have to reprogram the logic, which is in fact available ineConnect (if you migrate from Pervasive to Microsoft SQL Server and upgrade tonew version GP 10.0) 2. AutomaticBatch Posting. Here we often hear fromecommerce programmers the question why eConnect doesnt have the tools andlogic to post Great Plains SOP Batches (as well as post batches in other GreatPlains modules). The answer is in GParchitecture (it is pretty common, and you should expect similar restrictionsin other ERP and MRP platforms). Theconcept of ERP business transactions flow suggests you to use three phases oftransaction life: work, open and historical. eConnect allows you to create work transactions, in Great Plains theseare newly created invoices or sales orders, placed in the batch and submittedfor Great Plains user review and posting. In order to trigger Dynamics GP batch posting from eConnect applicationdirectly you have to deploy Great Plains add-on Alba Spectrum PostingServer 3. PostingServer. It consumes one user license anddeploys Dynamics GP Dexterity source code to trigger the same coded logic inDexterity for batch posting. Autopost istargeted to eCommerce web programmers, plus it post virtually all types ofGreat Plains Batches: GL, Inventory, Payroll, AP, AR, SOP
