Local service is technically not required, when you have to implement technology challenging projects, such as custom ecommerce integration to Great Plains Dynamics GP, however it is always good idea to have your Dynamics GP Partner to be available across the street and ready to face you in your office. We would like to review custom ecommerce programming techniques and steps, related to Microsoft Dynamics GP platform:1.Real Time ecommerce integration to Great Plains. Here you have to look at eConnect SDK, which allows you to include its libraries into Microsoft Visual Studio (typically C# or VB, as these languages have code samples in eConnect help and this makes your development discovery and learning curve easier and shorter) ecommerce web application project, where you can program instant push of ecommerce shopping cart to Great Plains Sales Order Processing Invoice (with customer deposit, if you are getting instant credit card payment). Real time integration might seems like perfect option for you, however it has development and implementation cost. If you are on the tight budget, consider quasi real time or even batch mode ecommerce integrations2.Quasi Real Time ecommerce integration. Quasi is philosophical term, here we mean that it is about every hour you see ecommerce transactions propagated to GP. Quasi real time integration could be set in Integration Manager module of GP and it doesn't require programming (if you are not looking for custom integration logic, and if you do - programming could be event driven in VBA scripts). IM integration could be scheduled with Windows macro add-ons (often available as shareware or free software) or could be purchased from Microsoft Business Solutions through you Dynamics GP Reseller. If you schedule your integration to run every twenty minutes, it is probably quasi real time compliant3.Batch mode ecommerce integration. This is the simplest one and could be developed and maintained internally. Open Integration Manager, design ecommerce integration to SOP Invoice, and then train your GP user to run integration every morning4.eConnect automatic batch posting. There are some nuances in eConnect programming. One of them is tightly related to Great Plains architecture: eConnect is for work documents and master records integrations. Work transactions are saved into the batch and the batch is subject for Great Plains user approval. If you need to post the batch directly from your ecommerce application, consider Alba Spectrum Posting Server
