eCommerce highlights for Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP eConnect with XML
Web Services, Automatic posting, cross platform integrations with Oracle, IBM
Lotus Notes Domino
Microsoft Great Plains should be considered as open platform for eCommerce web
development, especially since such development tools as eConnect were introduced
for .Net C# and VB web developers. However there are certain limitations in
utilizing these new tools, especially when business processes requires full
automation, including autoposting and automatic sales orders execution. In this
small article lets take a look at the technology highlights and work around:
eConnect. If you think that eConnect is panacea this is true with some
limitations. You should understand that eConnect automates only subset of
Microsoft Dynamics GP modules: SOP, POP, AR, AP, but at the same time other
modules are outside of eConnect scope good example Invoicing module. Besides
standard GP modules you as developer should be aware about third-party modules,
such as Mekorma, Avalara, DynamicsZip, Horizon Manufacturing, etc. These modules
are typically created with Microsoft Great Plains Dexterity and are also outside
of the eConnect scope
Posting Issue. eCommerce often requires automatic invoice posting, especially
when customer pays online via credit card. eConnect allows you to create order
or invoice and receive deposit against this order, but it doesnt allow you to
post the order this is reasonable restriction, because you as developer should
create business logic for invoice posting and deploy Microsoft Great Plains
posting logic, which might be very sensitive to your specific GP settings
Cross-Platform. You have two options: resolve cross-platform data streams with
XML inbound and outbound streams. In this case eConnect XML web services
interface is the way to go, plus you should supplement eConnect with your own
XML web services (having SQL heterogeneous stored procs behind) and the second
way is deploying either linked server from MS SQL Server side and stored
procedures or similar tools from Oracle to create ODBC JDBC connection
