Great Plains eConnect Posting Options overview for Programmer
Microsoft Dynamics GP is open to ecommerce programmers and web site developers via SDK, named eConnect. eConnect is bound to the rules of Great Plains Dynamics architecture, which require you first to create work document (Sales Order or Sales Invoice, these are likely to be created from ecommerce shopping cart), then you place it to the batch and, yes you simply wait until this batch is approved by GP user at the back office end
At this point we expect your disappointment, as you wouldlike, as ecommerce programmer to get higher level of control and push invoiceall the way through, meaning that you would like Sales batch to be postedautomatically from your ecommerce application.Lets review your options:
1.Calling native Microsoft Dexterityprocedures. If you have deep experiencein Great Plains Dexterity programming in the past, and if you are familiar withGP source code programming, then you may decide to spend several hundred of Dexprogramming and debugging hours to tune Dex routine, which will be running inthe customized Great Plains workstation mode and catching your eConnect batchposting event. This is just in case, andfor the rest of us
2.Batch Automatic Posting Server, coming from AlbaSpectrum, also referred as Autopost. Ourprogrammer did the work, described in #1 for you and all you need to do as web developeris to specify batch in staging table, as ready to be posted. Autopost covers all the modules in GP (withsome reservations, if you are trying to post batches in Great Plains Add-Ons orcustom modules): GL, SOP, RM, PM, Payroll, Inventory, Purchase Order Processing(EDI scenarios)
3.Autopost troubleshooting. If you already have Alba Spectrum PostingServer deployed in your organization, please read these lines, before callingto Alba Spectrum customer support.Autopost works in GP user security realm and you consume one dedicated userfor eConnect Batch Posting Server.Please, be sure, that this user has security rights to Post batches inthe modules, where you deploy Autopost.This is especially important for Dynamics GP version 10.0. Autopost is also available for GP 8.0 and9.0. It is unlikely, that you areprogramming eConnect for Great Plains 8.0
