In order to save on Dynamics GP user licenses, it is commonto see simple or complex timecard custom made application on the front, oftenweb based, where employees are logging their time on the daily base after eachshift and then this timesheet logging application should be automatically ormanually integrated with Great Plains Dynamics GP.

Regarding Payrolltransactions integration here you can integrate Hourly Pay Codes to the coreUS or Canadian Payroll module logic to make them available for batch processingin Great Plains Dynamics GP.

Ifyou are on Great Plains Dynamics GP versions 9.0 or 10.0 please know thatIntegration Manager can use eConnect connector as the technology base for theintegration. eConnect breaks throughformer limitations on the transaction volume, as eConnect is based on encryptedSQL stored procedures 3. Third party Payroll integration products andadd-ons. In this small publication theseare out of scope, here we only stress the fact, that IM or eConnect programmingare so simple and cheap in their installation and implementation, that theymight be better way to go 4.

If your IT department is strongenough to the level of hosting your Microsoft Sharepoint and .Net website,please review Dynamics GP Business Portal HR Employee Self Servicefunctionality, where you can save on Payroll Check stub mailing postage (as youare required to either mail stub or provide gateway for self service to readstub out of the web), plus BP HR has other cool features
