Hello, Everyone,
I have no experience in development for Microsoft GP. But it is Important for me to quickly dive into the development basis. And also It would be great if you could help me with time estimation for certain tasks. I really have no idea how hard it is to develop for this platform.
I have found a MSDN section dedicated to Microsoft Dynamics GP development: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics/gp/default.aspx Is this a good article to start the acquaintance with the technology? Or, could you please provide me with other useful links to such articles?
I do not have detailed information about the tasks yet. But could you, please, help me to estimate them. Are these very hard tasks or not?
Thanks in advance,
Leon.

Import Options.....
eConnect as mentioned above
SmartConnect from eOne
older Intgegration Manager
Do not try to write your own import tool unless you have many hours and are willing to support it forever. There are a number of tables that are touched (customer, customer address, item master, item quantity, order header, order line, many others......) and the business logic must be maintained.
There are several third party tools for turning orders into invoices. Look at Blue Moon. (why reinvent the wheel?)
Why would you create an AP transaction for an invoiced sale? If it is a commission item, see EthoTech's Commission Plan (again, why re-write tools that already exist.
If you MUST learn DEX, Download the DEX toolkit and look at that doc. There are DEX classes scheduled for Orlando, Florida in a few weeks, Contact IBG at 407-677-0370 or check out their web site at www.IBGNET.com
Leon,
Importing of any data into GP should always be performed via eConnect, eConnect is a set of tools which provide the business logic utilised by GP. Using this method ensures that you cannot put invalid data into the application.
eConnect comes in a number of levels: -
1 - SQL Stored Procedures, you may notice that in a GP database there are a number of stored procs which start with the letters 'ta', these are the eConnect procs. If you call these (in the right sequence and with the right parameters) the data will be imported. Be aware that at this level you are responsible for any transactional integrity.
2 - .Net\Com - eConnect provides .Net and com objects which you can call from your own applications. In this scenario you would pass the transactions as XML.
3 - Web Services - Web services sit above the .Net and com objects and provide a method of integration which can be used by web\remote applications.
In all instances you must get familiar with the concepts of eConnect by reading the eConnect SDK.
