PC Repair Tips

Microsoft Business Solutions Great Plains, former Great Plains Software Dynamics and eEnterprise ERP was designed in earlier 1990th, which can be easily transferred to the conquest of the database and operating system platform that was originally available on Mac and PC, Mac OS and Microsoft Windows respectively. Combat platforms table is almost completed, and now with e-commerce applications, we study the structure of the tables in the Great Plains Dynamics:

 • Naming Convention. Great Plains was designed to be ready to go to the database platform to win and is probably why we find it a bit complicated convention Naming on location: SOP10100, RM00101, IV00101 Â-these are samples: SOP header, Customer Master, master inventory. It argues firstly, a prefix, see Module: A-SOP Sales Order Processing, RM-VAT management – Inventory control, etc., then 0 stays for master files, 1 A so-called work files (before transaction is counted), 2 A-files open (after the transaction is posted) and 3 A-log files (to close the year with a general ledger transactions move to open the file history). So as you see – this is the logical and structured, but not easy for the developer, had never seen and worked with Dynamics Great Plains.

 • Groups of the table. Great Plains was designed to serve primarily to midsize companies, and the availability of modules third is to compete in the corporate ERP market with Oracle PeopleSoft, SAP and other big players. Therefore, we view the whole set of tables for storing, for example Invoice: SOP header, lines of SOP, SOP, RM file distribution, number, etc.

From the side forms (or screens) you can see the names legible: SOP entry RM_Customer_Maintenance, POP_Entry or similar. But these names inherited from Great Plains Dexterity does not help a developer of electronic commerce is likely only as a reference on the table that works with a specific screen.

Leta at a glance the tools available:

 • A-to eOrder electronic commerce and other products Exxx should consider the legacy and the product stage, based on the Microsoft e-commerce and ASP technology, Microsoft has now new paradigm -. World Net and ASPX

• Â Â eConnect was specially created for developers of electronic commerce, which are integrated with Microsoft Great Plains e-commerce Web Interface. This tool covers many of the objects of creation of the Great Plains and recovery functionality, but has its limitations, as it was not expected to replace the shell Great Plains Dexterity. For example, if you create SOP orders through the web interface / eConnect is difficult to to handle these orders (shipments to invoices, waiting, reassignments, etc.). Another problem with eConnect, developers are kind used to the fact that Microsoft provides free SDK for their products, Microsoft CRM, for example, can be downloaded free from Microsoft CRM SDK. EConnect you must pay for the license and be in Microsoft Business Solutions annual support for the updated version. Also, if you are a software development and integration of your personal physician for their clients, their license with Microsoft.

 • Custom SOP / AR stored procedures. Microsoft Business Solutions practice in general have integration projects several Great Plains where the integration is carried out in stored procedures and transactions are created and manipulated in the Great Plains SOP. Thus ends in May requiring assistance
