If you are eConnect ecommerce programmer and your goal is to do all the way directly from ecommerce web application code: Create New customer, Create Shopping Cart (probably equal to Sales Order Processing Invoice), Get Customer Credit Card Payment (deposit against Sales Order or Invoice) and finally post individual transaction or the whole batch of transactions from the customer
Transaction or Batch posting functionality is not available in Microsoft Dynamics GP eConnect SDK. In this small publication we would like to review Add-On, which should allow you to post batches directly from your ecommerce web front:
1. Dexterity programmed Posting Server. This application was developed in Sanscript programming language of Dexterity with detail reference to Dexterity internal scripts. This Server in fact calls the same Dexterity procedures, which are called by batch posting directly in Dynamics GP user interface (this technology allows Posting Server be bugs free, as we are not replicating the logic of batch posting, as directly using original posting scripts)
2. How to deploy Posting Server. You should dedicate special computer (or run one Dynamics GP workstation directly on the server ) with Posting Server add-on installed and integrated. PS creates custom batch status table, which it monitors every few seconds. You, as eConnect programmer should place the batch number record into this table with the flag Ready For Posting - the rest is the job of Automatic Posting Server
3. Posting Compatibility in various Dynamics GP modules. If you are posting ecommerce batch, normally you are doing it in Dynamics GP Sales Order Processing (SOP) module (SOP10100, SOP10200 and other tables). However, if your objectives are non ecommerce, but something like Electronic Document Interchange (EDI), Inventory Transfers and Auto Adjustments, or any other Batch deploying logic in Core Dynamics GP (meaning that you batches are described in Dynamics.dic dictionary, if you are deploying custom add-ons, please check with us, as it covers most of custom modules, but we should be give you more accurate info on your specific Great Plains Customization batch posting)
4. Posting Server compatibility with older GP versions. Current version of GP (October 2009) is 10.0. Posting Server is available for versions 10.0, 9.0, 8.0, 7.5
5. Help with eCommerce programming and integration for Dynamics GP, SAP Business One. If you need help with such methodologies as GP Integration Manager and eConnect or SAP B1 Data Transfer Workbench, DI Server, SB1 SDK, then you are reading the right article with directions to the right people
