MICROS system for hospitality and Dynamics for Financials

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Dear All,

May I ask if anyone here knows about the MICROS system that is for hospitality industry?

Can you help me for the below inquiry please?

The sales data will be stored in MICROS database as and when the transactions are carried out on the POS. After each EOB day; we will schedule the Micros POS Server to run a SQL script which will export the data as required by Microsoft Dynamics 365 into a flat file and copy the same on to an identified directory on Micros Server. The flat file directory can then be mapped to Microsoft Dynamics 365 server to automatically pickup or can be manually imported as well.

The flat file’s format will be ‘csv’. The format of data can be decided along with the Microsoft Dynamics 365 team or we can share the details or currently existing generic flat file data formats. Below is one example of a similar flat file used.

Once these are confirmed as acceptable by dynamics then we could set the same. Please feel free to call for any clarifications.

    Hello Hazel,

    We're not familiar with the MICROS system.  if anyone else is they can chime in.

    Is this specifically for Dynamics 365 for Financials?

    It looks like they want you to provide details into what fields\data should be included in a .csv so that it can be easily imported into whatever Dynamics 365 product they are talking about.  There are several different options for doing this depending on what data you need to bring in, but it will likely require a custom solution using Web Services\API's.... Unless there is already an Extension that will do it.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Micros is a system for Hospitality industry which will be under our company. I would just like to know if there's any way that it can be linked to our Dynamics 365 for Financials?

    Hi hazel_mflores,

    With a POS system like MICROS, your best bet for an ongoing integration to Dynamics 365 for Financials would be to use a 3rd party mapping and integration tool.

    Using a tool gives you an easier path to mapping data between Dynamics 365 and MICROS, handle exceptions and errors, create conditions and rules, and also automate the process of importing the data from a file or feed.

    While we have Web Services and automation tools built-in with Dynamics 365, the absence of access to the backend means we cannot write any code, rules, error handling, etc. directly in Dynamics 365.

    In alphabetical order, here are two tools that we recommend to our clients:

    1. eOne SmartConnect (www.eonesolutions.com/.../overview) - pricing available on the website, available in subscription and perpetual licensing options

    2. Scribe Online (www.scribesoft.com/.../scribe-online)

    Don't be discouraged if you don't see the MICROS logo on either site. What eOne and Scribe offer is a toolbox and you can map any two disparate systems to each other. We've used these tools in the past to connect Dynamics 365 to homegrown systems, obscure 3rd party apps, etc.

    I hope this helps. If my response has answered your question, please verify by clicking Yes next to "Did this answer your question?"
