eCommerce B2B and B2C Shopping Cart Integration to Microsoft Dynamics GP Programmer Notes

If you are working for the organization, deploying Microsoft Dynamics GP, formerly also referred as Great Plains Dynamics and your next step is ecommerce shopping cart integration to your Corporate ERP (Microsoft Great Plains Dynamics GP), we may perhaps like to recommend you this small publication written inside FAQ technical approach. eCommerce and Microsoft Dynamics GP integration is very popular topic, mainly among ecommerce Microsoft Visual Studio C# and VB developers, because there is special SDK, named eConnect. Plus, we may well recommend you to review Microsoft Dynamics GP Integration Manager in eCommerce integration environment, especially in batch or quasi real time mode (scheduled every hour or every twenty minutes). Let’s start to review details:

1. eConnect SDK for Dynamics GP. If you are experienced or even brand new Microsoft Visual Studio programmer with some exposure to C#, VB, XML, SQL Stored Procedures, then eConnect should be open for your self discovery. In eConnect ecommerce integration you can realize both Business to Business and Business to Customer scenarios, where B2C is realized for special walk in customer ID. If you decided to study eConnect because programmer, please consider reviewing sample codes in C# plus VB.Net

2. Microsoft Dynamics GP Integration Manager. For GP version 10.0 Integration Manager was rewritten in eConnect connectors, so there is less concern about formerly known IM performance issues, as eConnect is based on encrypted SQL Stored Procedures and their performance is definitely faster comparing to traditional Great Plains OLE Server (in earlier versions of Integration Manager). As we mentioned above IM might be scheduled to run every hour or half an hour (to imitate quasi factual time integration mode)

3. Breaking through eConnect and Integration Manager limitations. Both tools do not allow automatic batch posting in Dynamics GP and this is architectural limitation. Microsoft Dynamics GP Batch posting is something you normally expect to be recommended and conducted by GP user. However there is the way to post Dynamics GP batches from eConnect libraries directly. Please review Alba Spectrum Posting Server, trip at our video presentation on Alba Spectrum web page. For those of you who are on old Great Plains or Microsoft Dynamics GP version, we recommend Order Connector to assist with eCommerce B2B or B2C integration. Order connector is programmed in SQL Stored Procedures to provide compatibility as well as the older versions: 9.0, 8.0, 7.5, 7.0, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0
