Great Plains Var Newsflash: Posting Server and Automatic Batches Posting

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Microsoft Dynamics GP is standard ERp platform for eCommerce applications and business portals, where you have established shopping cart with customer registration, product catalog surfing and bits and pieces picking functionality.  Assuming that customer pays by credit card straight away, and you then send Sales Order Processing Invoice to Fantastic Plains through eConnect programming logic – there is excellent thought to close all the work in Dynamics GP, such as apply deposit against invoice and post SOP Invoice or Batch.  But eConnect, and this is limitation of Fantastic Plains Dexterity architecture, doesn’t have functionality to post GP batches.  You need Alba Spectrum Posting Server or Autopost.  Please read product highlights:

1.       Dynamics GP Dexterity source code programming and batch posting.  As the developer or SQL programming, all you do is place the batch name to the queue table, triggering GP that batch is ready to be posted.  Then, seeing batch in the queue, Posting Server initiates exactly the same posting process as if user hits Post Batch in GP user interface.  Please, note – as we use GP Dexterity posting logic, posting server is very reliable in GP version upgrades

2.       GP modules covered.  As we are using native Fantastic Plains Dexterity posting logic, all modules are covered, where you have batch or transaction posting functionality: SOP, POP, General Ledger, Payroll, Inventory Control to give you excellent examples

3.       Posting Server over stored procedures designed from scratch.  If you have SQL programmers in IT department, the thought might be fantastic on the first glance, but simple comment like that may be discouraging.  Fantastic Plains ERP application was written in Fantastic Plains Dexterity bombard, and it took several years of efforts for Fantastic Plains Software back in earlier 1990th with large development team to make it happen.  Batch posting logic is crucial and we could estimate that posting programming porting is close to 30 percent
