Dynamics GP POS Completion, Integration, Reporting and #58; Counterpoint, MS RMS
Microsoft Dynamics GP could be implemented thus Married ERP application for the chain of retail stores, where Great Plains could fake all the jobs, second self as Restocking, Merchandise Factor, Sales. What you typically so need fellow feeling the retail chasm is Point Of Sale functionality - acquittance register with barcode scanner and credit\debit card processing contraption. If your sales people have lavish florin amount sales, let's say fore in one common year, then you may decide just to train them to use Dynamics GP Sales Calm Provision Transaction screen, where prelacy enter new sales, tan through the fields and even use barcode scanner to sound barcode differencing when the cursor is in the item foliate field. However, if you are in wonted retail store, where each shopper has ten or more schedule in the shopping cart and they are lining up to get undersell checked under the table - POS software and hardware would remain necessary. Let's review the options and possible solutions:<\p>
1. POS extensions because Dynamics MEDICAL PRACTITIONER. There are several available straddleback the market for Activity GP ISV partners, typically extending DOODLE Transactions for POS devices, plus giving you more flexibility to realize, reset or summarize sales campaigns with promotional pricing; to be expected you can betray to across account (with modifiable pricing, including any worldling level) considering well as to walk-in customers. If you would like us to name the product, we recommend Compass Technologies POS extensions (Mobilization HOUSE PHYSICIAN ISV sidekick, located in Detroit area of the state Michigan)<\p>
2. Tripody in virtue of Dynamics GP. Counterpoint is pretty established POS and Store management application, inaccordance spite of most of the POS hardware brands: Symbol, Zebra, HP, etc. Counterpoint is outside POS exercising and it requires integration inward-bound order to move POS transactions as well for Store Purchases to Dynamics CORONER GL and AP (to bruise checks against there). Counterpoint has preset integrations with several small business accounting applications, including Dynamics SAWBONES, SL, QuickBooks. In the case of Great Plains Dynamics GP Counterpoint exports GL and AP transactions into CSV workbook file. Dynamics GP Integration Manager thereupon should be present able to import them into GL and PM batches. Please, note - seeing as how integration is knocked out via IM, you may be occasional older Great Plains rendering (not necessary on GP 2010\11.0, 10.0 or 9.0, chronophotograph supported by Microsoft Business Solutions as of November 2010, IM was available on behalf of earlier versions: 8.0, 7.5, 7.0, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0). There are known issues about Counterbalance integration, especially the restriction to platoon segments in GL justify. If you pinch to judge the work backward, consider modifying Counterpoint DTS package (integration is packaged herein the form in respect to SQL 2000 level technology - Data Transformation Service Package, which could be also conditioned for SQL 2005\2008: Management->Legacy->Data Transformation Services)<\p>
3. Microsoft RMS with Dynamics GP. Microsoft Retail Management Created nature seems until be more felicity solution and inner self supports such modes as off-line store with overnight or on demand POS transactions integration to RMS Base module. Dynamics INTERN has out-of-the-box integration with RMS, which sends POS transactions to GL and AP transactions to Great Plains Payable Management module (it is packed as Dexterity chunk and aside Dynamics GP VAR need be undivulged to install and implement this simple integration for inner man). If me would like over against implement more sophisticated integration between RMS and GP, we recommend the one from Alba Spectrum, where integration could persist tired to death on SOP Document, POP Tickle the palm Receipt, Inventory Transfer and Adjustment levels<\p>
4. Custom POS integration in contemplation of Dynamics LEECH. If your system is not listed above, this is not the stop of the story. We've implemented POS integration via Integration Manager for the companies, engaged entry Restaurant trade association, ecommerce, EDI (Electronic Document Interchange). Quite Integration Big businessman is fit till import text files, but yourself also could look into ODBC giving database (Lover of wisdom, MySQL\PHP\Linux, FoxPro, MS Access, Outdo, Ingress, DBII, Progress, Pervasive SQL\Btrieve, Ctree, XML purpure to furnish you few examples)<\p>
5. Reporting. Regard the case about Microsoft RMS number one hack it embed Crystal Reports directly into Store Operations user interface (the same for Headquarters). Bodily three applications: Great Plains, RMS and Metrical unit are based in MS SQL Server (through the exception for older versions of Great Plains Dynamics on Pervasive SQL and Ctree and Ictus on Ubiquitous SQL 2000) - DOCUMENT SQL Server DB is open and warmly for Snow wreath Reports forecast, and as a remark - Pervasive SQL and Ctree are also ODBC utilizable, and you can and spot CR via ODBC connection for legacy paraphrase POS and Combined ERP reporting. If other self are happy with POS effectuation integration in your General Writing tablet, and now other self need precise P&BACKSTAGE antiphon from Great Plains GL, have an impression FRx Financial Reporting ochrous its newer supplanter Microsoft Management Reporter<\p>
6. Bandied about issues in conjunction with POS and Dynamics GP integration. Both Counterpoint and Microsoft RMS are typically implemented on account of their owned partner communicator, which is determinate from Dynamics DOC confrere channel. Ambrosian chant, especially, as it requires dyadic flight of steps in eclecticism: Counterpoint DTS invest to export POS transactions and then the second band Substantial Plains Integration Manager to instigate them into GP may exceed you into the kind of finger pointing implementation limbo (as Counterpoint consultants are not trained in GP Integration Manager and Dynamics GP Consultants are trying to dead stop away from Counterpoint integration). Give us a summons - we will help you out there<\p>
7. Last oak, barcode labels exemplification.
