Does GP Have A Web-Based REST API That Can Be Accessed By Salesforce?

Posted on by numberforty1 5

I see some third-party applications documentation like below, but I cannot find any documentation from Microsoft, which makes me question if this exists. Other documentation seems to suggest that GP must be run on the customers server and could only be accessed that way.

https://docs.axway.com/bundle/AMPLIFY_Integration_Builder_allOS_en/page/microsoft_dynamics_great_plains_api_documentation.html

Does GP have a modern web based rest API, with a simple base URL like https://api.msdynamics.com/api-v2/, with different endpoints that we can query from SF? We have several other similar integrations and with a company as big as Microsoft it seems this should be easy to find.

Thank you!

    Have you looked at Service Based Architecture (SBA) for Dynamics GP?

    The main reason SBA was created, was to make a REST API available for Dynamics GP.

    SBA is designed as a set of services using REST, so that almost any type of application / reporting platform can use it, as Android, Apple and Windows based mobile platforms can all use REST services.

    As for expanding SBA, there are ISV products that have done the Dexterity development work to ‘wrap’ GP windows in SBA code so that they can be exposed to SBA, which you can find online and/or maybe someone on this Community Forum has more detailed information.

    Thanks,

    Thanks, but this does not appear to be a RESTful API, and it seems that it requires some kind of configuration on a customer's server, as opposed to a cloud-based API that be accessed without any customer configuration. Am I correct in thinking that GP does not have a cloud-based API that can be accessed the way that modern tools like Salesforce and Snowflake do?
