If you are integrating Microsoft Great Plains with you existing e-commerce frontapplication, you are more likely deploying Microsoft Dynamics GP eConnect. Thistool allows you to create or update master records: customer, address, credit cardinfo; also you can create or update work documents Sales Order Processing (SOP)order or invoice. If needed, eConnect allows you to work with the majority of GPmaster records and documents: purchasing, payroll, inventory control and othermodules (in some cases, eConnect doesn t work Invoicing module, for example, butit is not heavily used in ecommerce automation anyway). Some ecommerce integrationmodels require automatic posting this is not possible if you use eConnect only. In this small article we describe Autoposting server technology: Microsoft Dexterity posting engine. The heart of Microsoft Great Plains is wellstructured and allows Dexterity developer to submit the batch for posting andtrigger posting process. In theory it looks nice, however if you are .Net C# or VBdeveloper it doesn t look as the programming guideline for you: Microsoft DynamicsGP Dexterity is proprietary tool and it requires years of software developmentexperience to program such intrinsic processes as instructions to post the batch Posting Server approach. Autoposting server is Dexterity customization, whichchecks newly entered records in approved batches table it checks the table everyfew seconds and if the new record is there it initiates the posting process foryou. All you need to do is to place approved batch records into the status table. Posting Server works with almost all the types of posting batches, however the mostpopular are Sales Order Processing batches, where we post SOP invoices Other eCommerce integration options. If you need very light version of eCommerceintegration, then you may decide to utilize stored procedures, placing Sales Ordersinto SOP10100 and SOP10200 tables, especially when you do not charge taxes and allyour items are non-inventoried ones. This simplification might be efficient inlight weight ecommerce scenarios. The reason, why we recommend you to create SalesOrders and not Invoices you should avoid complex GL Sales invoice distributionrecords. If you need to create records for inventory items, then we recommend younot to do automatic allocation it might be difficult to program inventoryallocation in SQL scripts you can always do order allocation in GP later on
