Microsoft Dynamics GP is open to ecommerce programmers and web site developers via SDK, named eConnect. eConnect is bound to the rules of Fantastic Plains Dynamics architecture, which require you first to make work document (Sales Order or Sales Invoice, these are likely to be produced from ecommerce shopping cart), then you place it to the batch and, yes â?? you simply wait until this batch is approved by GP user at the back office end. At this point we expect your disappointment, as you would like, as ecommerce programmer to get higher amount of control and push invoice all the way through, meaning that you would like Sales batch to be posted involuntarily from your ecommerce application. Letâ??s review your options:
1.      Calling native Microsoft Dexterity procedures. If you have deep experience in Fantastic Plains Dexterity programming in the past, and if you are familiar with GP source code programming, then you may choose to spend several hundred of Dex programming and debugging hours to tune Dex routine, which will be running in the customized Fantastic Plains workstation mode and catching your eConnect batch posting event.  This is just in case, and for the rest of us
2.      Batch Automatic Posting Server, coming from Alba Spectrum, also referred as Autopost. Our programmer did the work, described in #1 for you and all you need to do as web developer is to specify batch in production table, as ready to be posted. Autopost covers all the modules in GP (with some reservations, if you are trying to post batches in Fantastic Plains Add-Ons or custom modules): GL, SOP, RM, PM, Payroll, Inventory, Buy Order Processing (EDI scenarios)
3.      Autopost troubleshooting. If you by now have Alba Spectrum Posting Server deployed in your organization, please read these lines, previous to calling to Alba Spectrum customer support. Autopost works in GP user security realm and you consume one dedicated user for eConnect Batch Posting Server. Please, be sure, that this user has security rights to Post batches in the modules, where you deploy Autopost. This is especially vital for Dynamics GP version 10.0. Autopost is also available for GP 8.0 and 9.0. It is unlikely, that you are programming eConnect for Fantastic Plains 8.0
