eConnect: Microsoft Dynamics GP Integrations – Overview

By Andrew Karasev

Microsoft Dynamics GP, also often referred as Microsoft Great Plains or Great Plains Dynamics may be considered as very good ERP platform, ready for custom logic and integrations with legacy systems. eConnect is one of the tools of choice to be deployed in the case of creating and moving objects to Microsoft Dynamics GP.

• Master Records. Accounts, Customers, Vendors, Employees are typical master records. eConnect can create, update and remove these records. eConnect methods first try to validate business logic, so eConnect should be preferred over direct SQL scripting (trying to add or change records directly in Microsoft Dynamics SQL tables)

• Transactions. eConnect also allows you to create or modify so-called work transactions. However eConnect doesn’t typically go beyond work transactions, so-called open or historical transactions should be created through Microsoft Dynamics GP posting, moving to history, voiding, etc. routines and this requires MS Dynamics GP operation intervention

• Beyond eConnect. There are multiple options for you to deploy Microsoft Dexterity to automate such processes as posting. Imagine, you are moving daily eCommerce sales from your third party e-Commerce system to Great Plains and want them to be posted automatically. In this case you can deploy eConnect to bring work Sales Invoices and Payments and then you deploy Microsoft Dexterity Posting server to trigger posting all the way to the General Ledger
