eCommerce shopping cart integration with Dynamics GP Order Processing Transaction

Microsoft Dynamics GP, formerly known as Great Plains Dynamics, eEnterprise known, flexible and powerful platform for B2B and B2C e-commerce shopping cart integration. If you are e-commerce programmer, please read this introduction level publications on the integration of e-commerce shopping cart intonation SOP invoice or sales order in Dynamics GP. Be bound Article genre rules, we will try to reasonably ask laconic and technical balance (for developers and programming) and functional (for IT managers) information.

1: We will be some attention to Microsoft Dexterity and its possible role in GP eCommerce integration Pay Order Processing invoice or sales orders as e-commerce shopping destination. In our opinion, this task is the most natural to consider as the shopping destination in the GP. SOP Transaction speed document header, where you customers, doc number, dates, addresses, shipping info, tax and other document-level information. It also has item lines where your shopping cart link tag and add to the information on the Availability in stock, assignment (if applicable), back-order or you-can-even your job as service or not inventory items where you do not Bound By Inventory Tracking are. If you think SOP transaction is the right property for E-commerce shopping cart integration, you must choose an integration tool or technology

2 Dynamics GP Dexterity proprietary technology. We do note recommend Microsoft Dexterity programming and customization to be done to integrate e-commerce shopping cart, because “Other tools similar job without having to program, especially Dynamics GP Integration Manager could do. If you are serious reasons to have tried skill path, we recommend that you discuss skill ecommerce integration with Microsoft Dynamics GP partner or experienced Dynamics GP Dexterity programmer. Skill Might Be The Way To Go, If you determine that Great Plains is your MasterCard application, from where you start pulling e-commerce shopping carts, and “Where You Your Inventory define items, price lists, rebates (price reductions on sales invoice document-level) and Sales campaigns and push these objects in your e-commerce web application

3 GP Integration Manager. If you represent quite small or medium-sized e-commerce trading (B2B or B2C e-commerce) or wholesalers (B2B E-Commerce) and you are a kind of OK with the option of daily e-commerce GP Integration (once per day) and e-commerce transaction volume of ice per a thousand new jobs days, we recommend you to check on IM in detail and only consider To The Next Step Is You Tried in pulling in and out and it’s something special and important to your e-commerce business processes that can integration managers do not. OK, Having said that, let’s review of the IM. This Tool is end user friendly (you can always use Dynamics GP for advice if you feel your organization has, it’s not internal support) you begin creating data sources -. we recommend, eller ecommerce shopping carts export separately Fading Text (comma or tab files) or even better the Create Advanced ODBC data sources, based on the SQL view, including any options for cross-platform SQL view in MS SQL create server with connection to Oracle, MySQL / PHP / Linux, Microsoft Access, Lotus Notes. Step Two – Connect your sources (you need at least two e-commerce shopping need, as the document header and lines should be integrated) in chat-you-can “continue to do VBA scripting and this script you-can custom tables in GP. through Microsoft ADO technology address if necessary. Plus, as additional (but not the last bit – call us for more information) peak-to-you-can-IM integration schedule for every trip, say, twenty minutes to make e-commerce integration GP etiquette, as in virtually Real-time

4th Dynamics GP eConnect. The integration tool and SDK could be in Microsoft Visual Studio, C #, VB.Net or any other programming language used as a library project and help with sample code (it is software development kit). eConnect enables real-time integration, mentioned as-you-can eConnect libraries intonation ecommerce web application. If you are experienced or even advanced Microsoft Visual Studio Programmer and you are familiar with C # (Microsoft Java Blend) or VB and a basic exposure to SQL Stored Procedures and XML – eConnect should open for you to experiment. Originally, the Great Plains eConnect eCommerce programming was devoted to e-commerce web applications with Dynamics GP 7.0 and 7.5 (eConnect was extended and later for Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 to integrate covers most of the core modules: GL, SOP, POP, Inventory Control, Accounts Receivable Management, payable management, Payroll, General Ledger, Project Accounting, etc.)

5 Direct SQL scripting for Dynamics GP and e-commerce integration. If you try out of nothing – it could come to Long Way from all errors and irregularities, so we recommend you to Alba Spectrum Order Connector viewing, you intuitively set of SQL stored procedures directly from e-commerce web application integration to the cart as GP SOP invoice or sales order. If you want to try it on your own, and you need to forward some Intro to Microsoft Dynamics GP tables structure and data flow training, we offer these services both nationally and internationally 6th U.S.

Dynamics GP Ecommerce Shopping Cart Transfer to SOP document

If you Dynamics GP (or even his old version, if known by the name Great Plains Dynamics), and now you think to explain this application ERP Corporate E-commerce shopping cart interface, you will probably want vehicles are converted into sales orders document. SOP transaction could either be the bill (with credit card deposits, in the scenario of B2C e-commerce) to control, return, (where you want to monitor the implementation of the separate process, probably in the warehouse management system) or Citation (useful in B2B scenario, if you sell the account and you want your customers to configure the contents with its price level, bar any additional discounts, etc..) Well, you say, these cards look very natural to me, but how they could be carried out or planned? And by the way – we already have e-commerce site, we coded our own IT programmers – we want to get e-commerce application. Try to keep your options:

1. In real time, near real time and the planned integration. We encourage you to check this “theoretical” first question could be the answer can save you a lot of software development or software licensing products e-commerce money. What is the real-time integration of e-commerce shopping cart? This is when customer makes the order, the document in SOP Dynamics GP as the same time (with a reasonable time for the server to run the code integration of real-time, maybe one or two seconds). How important is it in real time? The answer depends. Say, you have several thousand transactions per hour (which means that your site e-commerce transactions in matter of few seconds are supported), and the processing time of orders is so important, you’re absolutely you need to secure e-commerce in a to inform the matter of a few minutes ago that his order we received and allocated, and here you have with your UPS or FedEx shipment tracking number Free delivery tomorrow morning (or three to five business days). If this topic for your situation, in real time, B2C and B2B e-commerce integration could be considered a necessary feature. But what if you can wait, say five or twenty minutes and then send the lot of the “order received” confirmation e-mails to your customers e-commerce beginners or return? If this is acceptable or even if it is optimal to do business, then you can plan the integration of truck and move operations Dynamics GP SOP every few minutes (or maybe ten or twenty minutes). This scenario is almost in real-time e-commerce integration, and you may want to implement. Now we consider the case when you sell something really cheap and do not expect more than a dozen shopping carts per working day. If the customer has placed an order, you can immediately show by e-mail that the order has been answered, and then you can integrate into the night or morning and at the end of the day (twice run each day, with Saturday and Sunday and holidays). This scenario is the integration of the integration of demand and the planned

2 As each scenario, integration of e-commerce shopping cart could be implemented at minimal cost? We hope you will say – the real-time integration approach is the luxury and probably commands the highest price of implementation. And you are absolutely right, eConnect in real time requires custom programming (or such tools, such as connectors, are available from Alba Spectrum, where the amount of stored SQL procedures intuitive and requires no SQL programming exposure to objects and learning curve eConnect) to obtained. We do not recommend ad-hoc SQL Programming (writing process with limited exposure, the stored Dynamics GP table structure and data flow, Dynamics GP is mid-market business and the ERP and MRP its data flow is very complex). Now go to the customers, where you’ll have no power in real time and you would be very happy with the near-real-time commercial cart integration. Here you can avoid the phase of individual programming and used directly as user-friendly tool that end-users Dynamics GP Integration Manager. IM for all fires number of minutes could (perhaps even every minute, but realistically, every five, ten or twenty) are provided. If your department is enthusiastic software developers and engineers, they must find a way to integrate instant messaging via Windows schedule freeware macro applications. Also, if you want to get a planning tool for IM (cost) directly from Microsoft Business Solutions, it is also possible. And now the third way – if you have a limited number of e-commerce transactions per day, and you are ready to adopt the approach when the user opens Dynamics GP integration and operation once or twice per day. Dynamics GP consulting our practice and our experience with the integration needs of eCommerce for Dynamics GP or Great Plains Dynamics historical point out that this third scenario is the most common and fits Dynamics GP ERP software niche

3rd E-commerce products for Dynamics GP. Microsoft Dynamics GP so-called network of ISV partners, where one of add-ons for the GP of third-party integrated software (usually Microsoft Gold Certified partner that was given to sell the opportunity to present their products as extensions to Dynamics GP Microsoft native functional logic) . If you try to take this route, please note that not all add-ons directly from Microsoft Business Solutions support and you can cover the costs of annual improvements Dynamics GP ISV partner to pay directly. Well, if you Dynamics GP ISV presentations e-commerce, e-commerce in general add-ons or sometimes “turnkey solutions for electronic commerce requires moving possibly their e-commerce platform (relative fair offer connections ecommerce shopping cart). and compromise (giving up your existing ecommerce website heritage not only the product, which provides connections for your existing e-commerce shopping carts in productions such as Magento / MySQL / Linux / PHP, ASP.Net Storefront) – Here we suggest that you be extra careful.

Microsoft Dynamics GP to Shopping Cart Integration in B2B and B2C scenarios

If you already have the site e-commerce platforms to popular e-commerce shopping cart, such as ASP. Net Store Front or Magento / PHP in the business-to-business or business-to-client models, we want to put highlights on the integration of Microsoft Dynamics GP or Great Plains as ERP and medium-sized corporate application was initially unknown. First, we want to stress that have to think in our popular platforms E-commerce shopping cart quite a large number of institutions in the United States and abroad (they are pretty solid with the most bugs discovered and corrected by direct customer support of the original software development company ) and we advise you do not want to put in custom programming. We also believe that customers are not with existing e-commerce web application like the idea about e-commerce website and switch to a different raw material waste – we respect that position and we would be happy to help you get e -commerce site with your existing ERP application integration, in our case it is Microsoft Dynamics GP:

1. If basket is in Dynamics GP? The most natural way is to convert customer orders in a basket order or invoice number. They are mid-market or wholesaler of large e-commerce (B2B) and retail (B2C), we recommend the type of SOPs for the integration of electronic commerce with the elements select online manual assignment, as you probably need in order to fulfill the order on the floor of the warehouse with picking and packing, with scanning bar codes, see section below warehouse management system via the details below. If you sell, with full or partial payment (credit card the customer) – it is strong against second sales order document

eCommerce module Alba Spectrum. Here you will find the installation wizard and configuration engine have is our goal, the integration of e-commerce open for you in a couple of hours, select the e-commerce platform basket from the dropdown, select the e-commerce store by default SOP type and appropriate number of additional parameters. Ideal for e-commerce B2C, B2B in the scenario you need more control over customer-specific discounts and rates – we have the characteristics of B2B integration for a good, but you can expect additional programs and changes

3 Alternative low-budget way of integration of e-business. If the number of e-commerce transactions per day are low or moderate (say less than twenty or even a hundred) and the customer e-commerce does not need instant access to the status of your order, we consider the integration of e-commerce Dynamics GP-shopping in near real time (hourly or other short time interval). Is this acceptable in your e-commerce B2B and B2C Commerce – consider the basket for SOP integration of sales documents through the Great Plains Integration Manager. We case study in computer-parts-dealer e-commerce-chat can be used to add custom PHP / MySQL shopping cart out of the fire every 5 minutes, in which integration was a kind of macro for Windows freeware called programs. If you are responsible for the integration, we can ask for help, and if you do it yourself, we recommend you, your source Instant Messaging as an Advanced ODBC are selected, you can make transactions directly from the base of e-commerce website ( You are not limited to Microsoft SQL Server, MS Access, XML or text file – Advanced ODBC is possible in scenarios cross platform, where the data set is located in Oracle, Index, DBII IBM, Lotus Notes, Pervasive SQL, Ctree, MySQL and other ODBC DB open platform)

4 Warehouse Management System Add-On for Dynamics GP. WMS opens Dynamics GP sales orders, purchase orders and inventory (with additional components of Bill of Materials and Manufacturing suite of modules) for bar code technology. Typical warehouse management system contains the business logic processing of customer orders, inventory and increase transfers and adjustments (including cycle count, for the adjustment of the fuel mass). Alba Spectrum WMS server and client components. WMS client runs directly on your operating system, bar code scanners and LCD. Lectures WMS client to the server via a wireless or RFID gain information on existing sales orders / invoices, receipts POP transactions and balances. WMS server is usually Windows-based computer connected to the wired network (Ethernet cable from Level 5, fiber or wireless, if the transaction low WMS) and speaks with Dynamics GP database server via an ODBC connection

6 eCommerce legacy versions of Great Plains Dynamics and eEnterprise. If you are the committed version supports most of GP, such as 8.0, 7.5, 7.0, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0, 4.0, we recommend either integration manager of road work (if you on the older version, chances are high that the e-commerce transaction level is moderate or low – IM is for Microsoft SQL Server 2008, 2005, 2000, 7.0, 65 and Pervasive SQL 2000 and based versions Ctree Great Plains ) think, or upgrade to the latest version of Dynamics GP 2010 (sometimes referred to. Version 11.0), if the company uses, and you are ready to assign the Great Plains implementation of the budget. If you are still on Great Plains Accounting for DOS, Windows or Mac: 9.5, 9.2, 9.1 or earlier, we would discourage investment in the integration of e-commerce platform for the ERP Corporate archaic – to consider , upgrade to Dynamics GP 2010 / 11 We do not want you to invest in ERP software, is compatible only seventh with 32-bit platform
