Great Plains Customization Technologies: Highlights for Software Developer

When Microsoft acquired Great Plains Software as good as afterwards integrated Great Plains in to supposed Microsoft Dynamics ERP products family as Dynamics GP, alteration collection became some-more Microsoft as good as .Net oriented, as we could expect.  However in a primary pattern in progressing 1990th Great Plains Dynamics was dictated as multi height product as good as a fundament was built upon latest record declared Great Plains Dexterity.  Considering difficult start of GP, let’s examination growth tools:

 

1.       Dexterity.  Great Plains Dexterity, as we already referred to is a heart of GP design, as good as it is in spin created as a bombard in C programming denunciation to secure sure flexibility, generally a choice to switch from a single handling complement or mechanism height to another.  Being really absolute as good as flexible, Dex doesn’t promote supposed fast growth unfolding as it is not intent oriented as good as it requires we as programmer to have multiform years of endless Dexterity programming before to appearance in Dexterity programming project.  Dexterity has a own scripting denunciation Sanscript.  Latest versions of Dex await such cold Microsoft technologies as COM objects as good as Web Services, as good as we can call SQL Stored procedures from Dex code.  To get discerning debate in to Dexterity architecture, we might implement it from GP CD #2 as good as open Dynamics.dic record – this compendium has core GP proof as good as it is created in Dexterity

 

2.       VBA as good as Modifier.  We were examination closely a foe in between assorted GP customizing tools.  And we still cruise that Modifier should be reviewed before to eConnect.  Modifier is in hint a module, created in Dexterity, that allows we to supplement buttons as good as fields to existent screens of GP as good as take them off.  To spur latest fields we operate VBA scripting language, mostly we operate ADO record to entrance GP tables from mutated forms

 

3.       eConnect.  This SDK opens for we GP objects: master annals (customer, vendor, GL Account, employee, prospect) as good as work exchange (SOP invoice, Purchase Order, Payroll Entry).  eConnect is formed upon encrypted SQL stored procedures, as good as it has multiform layers of record wrappers – in actuality it is accessible for Microsoft Visual Studio C# or VB developer.  If we have been integrating eCommerce website with your GP behind office, we suggest we to cruise eConnect as a categorical formation tool, additionally cruise Autoposting Server to post batches of SOP invoices in GP

 

4.       SQL Stored Procedures Integrations.  If we cruise eConnect is as good complicated as good as formidable as good as we have been gentle to do light SQL insert matter to stock GP tables, afterwards SQL scripting is an option.  However, we daunt newcomers from perplexing SQL insertion before to researching alternative formation collection first

 

5.       GP Integration.  Of march formation is not a same as customization, however we would similar to to asian we here as well.  GP traditionally has Integration Management Module.  With stream chronicle 10.0 IM has latest connectors – from right away upon we can operate eConnect connectors to do integrating
