(1888PressRelease)
June 23, 2007 - We heard multiple complains from Microsoft Dynamics GP eCommerce developers, who are deploying eConnect to move eCommerce transactions to GP why eConnect doesnt post them in Great Plains? This is probably because GP has very structured architecture and eConnect mission is to create so-called work transactions (in the case of eCommerce these are more likely SOP Orders and Invoices: tables SOP10100 and SOP10200).
Posting routine in GP is the duty of GP user. If you look at the posting process it should have audit trail who did post, who did approve, etc. However as eCommerce in some cases requires posting automation, we developed the product, which utilizes Microsoft Dexterity internal code and procedures to enable automatic posting. In this article you will see some technical highlights, for additional details please visit our web site and read product specifications:
GP Dexterity engine. Microsoft Dynamics GP is written in former Great Plains Dexterity, current product name is Microsoft Dexterity. Dexterity itself is written in C programming language and has its own compiled scripting language sanscript. Sanscript has procedures and functions, the descriptions of these objects you can find in Microsoft Dynamics GP SDK. However, do not be too optimistic it is really difficult job to program Dex and also interpret SDK.
The approach. Instead of exposing you to Dynamics GP SDK, we decided to simplify your life and have you as programmer place records into specific tables which should be considered as approved batches in GP for posting. Posting Server checks the appearance of new records in these tables and if so, launches posting process. All this happens in quasi real time (5 seconds interval to check the table if new records are there 5 sec are chosen as a compromise do not clog the network)
Beyond eCommerce. Posting Server allows you to post virtually every batch in GP, not only Sale Order Processing batches. You should be familiar with GP architecture and its modules. In some cases Autoposting server was tried to post so-called third party products batches: WennSoft, for example and as it is third party module, we can not guarantee the success.
