If you use Microsoft Dynamics GP implementation in your company business ERP application, and now you’re on phase two, in search, when this nice property, which is under E-commerce shopping cart integration, this little publication is for you . First we would like to share with you our view that the baskets of electronic commerce, as Magento / PHP (especially if you are on Linux), ASP.Net Storefront Nop Commerce and others, are quite robust and there is no real need to the program car from scratch in house (until you really wholesale or retail e-commerce giant, where you prefer to have complete control of the business logic and proprietary program source code and make the budget this kind of approach to luxury ). In our case, we have tried to give e-commerce add-on for Microsoft Dynamics GP (often by its historical name Great Plains Dynamics and eEnterprise called, in case if you have some confusion with the name of the application) where you follow easy setup wizard, select the name of your e-commerce shopping cart drop-down list on one of the first steps. Other measures relate specifically to the integration with Dynamics GP typical e-commerce: Parameters of inventory, sales for the processing modules:
1. Ecommerce Shopping Cart image in the Great Plains. It is generally sales orders or invoices with customer orders as a deposit by credit card (especially in the B2C scenario, while in the B2B scenario, you can sell on the account, and payment is optional.) If you line the invoice or order directly assign from To the shopping cart automatically, you must specify the default e-commerce SOP document ID, which (in this case the line element carrying occurring now as a document of the electronic commerce it is entrusted to the GP) with automatic assignment. If you prefer complete line of warehouse management system / bar-coding rather on the floor of the warehouse, then select the ID of the document where the allowance is set to Manual. The second important concept is the e-commerce website default ID Inventory – Great Plains, it is important to the default settings in order to minimize the document, the data entry. In the case of order processing each document, the default site ID, and if it is given – each line will be automatically assigned (or allocated for the implementation manual) from the specified site. Inventory management, the site object to the logic allows is distribution modules such as sales orders, purchase orders, BOM, manufacturing suite of modules, billing (this module is Enough heritage, we do not recommend it for serious consideration of the eCommerce implementation)
2 E-commerce and non-stock item. can for e-commerce retailers of small, specialized in highly unstable (change every week or month) the sale catalog items, you decide to give up completely inventory control devices, such as inventory, returned damaged in service and sold only track items sales reports (based on the tables and SOP30200 SOP30300 – Document Header and History). If the e-commerce shopping cart line items in non-inventory in Dynamics GP SOP – Article ID’s absolutely written (or character stream), then the description of a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and more separation there is no price list ( You need sales volume, price and cost, if you already know please)
3 eCommerce technology integration. We know e-commerce module add on proprietary technology is based Alba Spectrum Order Connector. is based charge on our performance tests by connecting more efficient compared to Dynamics GP eConnect SDK (two technologies based on SQL stored procedures, but in order to hook-oriented sales weight light logic Order Processing transactions where eConnect validates 100% of the dynamic business logic GP SOP, the more stored procedures execution time and contribute in our opinion, this could, and taking into account all the processes in e-commerce add-on module – which has some business logic can be verified, the rest of the kingdom of logic is truly optional)
4 What if your organization is able to sponsor programs ecommerce shopping strip? If your basket is generic e-commerce shopping cart interface compliance, we may be able to integrate it into our e-commerce add-on for Dynamics GP. If your basket is really complex and proprietary, do not hesitate to call us for an estimate. We have really hard up trucks in the past, especially in environments such as Linux / PHP / MySQL. Furthermore, there are unlimited possibilities for moving document owner Dynamics GP set of text or ODBC connection in advanced Integration Manager. IM is capable of near real-time integration offer (every 20 minutes, or you name the time interval), although this is in Windows Scheduled Tasks on the server as well (there are several shareware and freeware that is actually the calling program DOS executable file with parameters) The same approach is called when the new document is triggered directly in the shopping cart ecommerce e-commerce application (you can just chat with the settings to be done in your application code could ecommerce web)
5 . eConnect versus Integration Manager. Dynamics GP eConnect SDK is a powerful instrument, at first it was ecommerce programmers, open Great Plains objects and operations for the integration of e-commerce shopping cart dedicated. In our opinion, eConnect stable now, and error free with the introduction of the Version 9.0, Dynamics GP, we recommend you try it yourself (especially if you practice Microsoft Visual Studio C # or VB.Net programmers consider). The best scenario to deploy eConnect libraries if your e-commerce website in Microsoft Visual Studio programmed. In the case when you are on platforms Linux e-commerce, there are ways Windows DLL and the eConnect methods (stored procedures) in an indirect call by bridges Linux, Windows, but it could give you also long and hard learning curve. So if you are on Linux, Unix, Oracle / Java, IBM platforms DBII, we prefer to consider (separate tab or comma) to export e-commerce shopping cart text file or even cross-platform format XML-compatible . Regarding Integration Manager and eConnect performance comparison, please be aware that the integration manager for Dynamics GP version 10.0 (and above the current 2010/11.0, as we write these lines in September 2010) leads eConnect connectors integration, where the integration of IM is actually the same call SQL stored procedures when you are eConnect to provide directly comparable libraries in your Visual Studio Web, so that the power should p> sixth Which version is before diving integrated into the project E-Commerce recommended the answer depends on the size of the project, you can also use Integration Manager on all versions of Dynamics GP and even legacy Great Plains Dynamics and eEnterprise?. 9.0, 8.0, 7.5, 7.0, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0, 4.0 (Please note that the integration works manager for archaic DB platforms, such as Pervasive SQL and 2000/Btrieve Ctree). However, if you prefer to integrate directly into real-time e-commerce shopping basket full of Magento, ASP.Net Storefront or another platform basket, we recommend that you upgrade to Dynamics GP at least version 10.0
7 eComerce Combine with warehouse management system and barcode technologies. When the complete automation, where CART is run automatically on the floor of the warehouse looking through barcode dates, we recommend you review Alba Spectrum module for WMS
