What we need to do before the implementation of ERP or selection
shows the trend of the market, all companies that choose to implement an ERP system. Not only big companies but small businesses and midsize companies are also following this trend. If you are implementing an ERP system as well, the only question in your mind should be what we need to do before the application or the selection of ERP for our society? To determine this, it is important to assess your business and analyze where the company is incurring losses. The utilization of old and obsolete and not the latest technologies can cause problems in business. First, these methods should be identified, because it can backfire and cost you more than it should. If these methods are not corrected, will be complicated and expensive to implement an ERP system.
Another thing to do before the application or the choice of ERP for your company is accepting the fact that cost you time and money. There are many expenses related to the planning application resources such as software costs, license fees, consulting service charges, etc. The process also involves many steps and takes only a few months before it can run smoothly .
Be prepared with a good amount of income and the time to invest. It is necessary to analyze and evaluate the characteristics of software is best for your business. A team of people required to be dedicated to this process in order to expedite the proceedings and decision making. Consultants and staff will be needed to assess needs. Before the application or the selection of ERP for your company, you must ensure that procedures to get through the industry standards of regulation and supervision. This will facilitate the automation of processes. A list of key business processes must be marked to leave the service both of these procedures. The proposed solution should include business processes, and therefore vital customization must be done.
What we need to do before the ERP application or choose our business depends also on the leaders of various departments. They must be convinced that the company needed an ERP system in the first place. Everyone should be aware of the change that will occur after implementation and be prepared for it.
The focus should be for business functions because it is necessary for the desired system. Choosing the best ERP package available on the market depends on the needs of your business. The price factor, the amount of time, effort and resources must also be taken into account before the application or the selection of ERP for your company. A full assessment should be performed, then the ERP package should be chosen. You should also make arrangements for equipment that is necessary for the implementation of ERP system in your company. The consultant team of functional and technical ERP hired who will be responsible for implementation. Be sure to hire competent and capable consultants prior to the application or the selection of ERP for your company.
Dynamics GP data migration from legacy accounting software
When implementing a new ERP business application, the issue of data conversion and migration is often at the top of the list. Sometimes their parents department can say, if Dynamics GP is MS SQL based server application must be able to convert all legacy data tables in the Great Plains ERP for SQL injection. You should be aware that the modern enterprise, ERP systems such as Dynamics GP, AX, SAP Business One is a high level of abstraction between the three mentioned, only Dynamics GP allows direct integration of data, while Business One Microsoft Dynamics AX does not allow you to edit data records on the table level (you can try to see what happens …). Let us now focus on the Great Plains Dynamics GP. For the initial data conversion, we recommend reviewing Integration Manager. If you plan only one time data conversion initial license may be considered IM conversion, or if you plan on going integration (especially in e-commerce carts daily operations of outlet import, or even simple custom EDI, which files you want to integrate electronic data interchange without having to buy expensive products capable of integrating EDI) -. Instant messaging has a full license (or you can choose or financial distributions only) In some cases, when you walk from the legacy accounting and application of medicine, there may be migration tool, especially when you’re in medical monitoring header (as if you are on Great Plains Accounting for DOS, you can upgrade to Dynamics GP through 2010, or if you are on Great Plains Dynamics on Pervasive SQL or Ctree 2000/Btrieve – no need data conversion – upgrade path that leads to the current Dynamics GP 10.0 2010 or earlier version and it is also rapid migration tool that will help you migrate from QuickBooks or Peachtree Dynamics GP) Now let us examine the stages of data migration and conversion of the recommendations.
..a decision on the degree of conversion Some customers may say -?. Why not simply migrate “all” or “everything possible” The answer may lie in the cost Theoretically, you can migrate all legacy accounting data, but may be impossible, especially when it has plenty of historical data and not intend to use (some applications may be necessary, perhaps, if you expect future audit firm, but other than that …). We recommend. taken into account to maintain his legacy ERP business applications in independent team for consultation as possible and start from new page with its new ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics GP Consider move cards only: accounting (you may decide to re-structure their reach and clean up a little), customers, suppliers, employees, addresses and general ledger balances. This approach should allow to minimize the conversion of budget data and be ready to begin using the new accounting method within several weeks if you want to view reports for GL, which compares the current year compared to last year (overall P & L or balance FRx or Microsoft Management Reporter) -. then you can decide to convert the GL transactions for the last year (the best way is to combine all the transactions for the fiscal year is often a calendar month, after one and open them in the previous year). The conversion is relatively simple to design in Integration Manager. If you think this doesn t work conversion method “for you and you really need to convert historical transactions in modules such as sales orders, purchase order processing, inventory control, payroll, we will try to take that in the next paragraph
..
two historical data conversion may be necessary, try to answer the following questions Is it really necessary to base my historical prices for the customer specific orders go far to go down in history -.? One, two, five years before returning to list prices for customers in my current standard price? I want to negotiate the price with my supplier, based on my history of purchase orders. If my client had in my self-service portal for B2B electronic commerce, which is the historical time period for them to see if you have the answer, indicate that one or more of these questions were answered “Yes” – is it possible that Historical Data Migration We will review the amount of historical data can be migrated
3 Integration Manager conversion of historical data … It is very difficult to integrate sales, purchasing, inventory, payroll operations of MI. The challenge is usually related to the volume of historical data, which is the subject of migration. If you have several million sales transactions in the last ten years – you can wait several hours or even days to move in the GP, as IM validated the business logic for each of them and you can expect the migration process is repeated several times until you are satisfied with the results Another recommendation from the conversion of the historic -. by not unchecking Show by and for General Ledger balances are more likely to years beginning GL historical are handled directly in the conversion of the historic GL
4. Some facts about Integration Manager for programmers. The easiest way to install the integration is based on a text file (tab, comma delimited character or special). But the Cat is not limited to text files. may request source based on simple or advanced ODBC call, you can extract data from databases such as Microsoft SQL Server, Access, Excel, Word and platforms other than Microsoft DB like MySQL / Linux, FoxPro, Pervasive SQL, Ctree, Oracle, just to name a few DBII Advanced ODBC can also help to manipulate a text file (Microsoft ODBC text driver files). – You can use the buildings as the Union, GROUP BY, HAVING, etc. Integration Manager also allows you to listen to logic integration via VBA scripts triggered events: before document commits document before. ..
5 technical aspects of Dynamics GP Integration Manager is a kind of transition, in implementing SQL stored procedures as possible .. (and exposure to technologies like. NET, XML, Web Services, C #) . im not the exception, with 10.0 Dynamics GP, there is a strong influence of eConnect (SDK eConnect core technology is encrypted SQL Server stored procedures). With the introduction of version 10.0 and, in particular 2010/11.0 eConnect Integration Manager recommend alternative queries based on OLE server (formerly Great Plains consultants good morning “to start all know -. instant messaging windows must be closed and change the base GP application, allowing GP OLE server) eConnect is based on SQL stored procedures, and does not require workstations that use Great Plains users (and consumption of licensed concurrent users). eConnect over Integration Manager connectors are naturally faster (OLE server is the abstraction of a very high level and complete all fields and then submit the form of treatment that you would in the user interface, simply call eConnect encrypted SQL stored procedure)
6. further integration. We will review this routine to routine cases, such as integrating a shopping cart ecommerce SOP invoice. Integration Manager can be activated to start the integration of SOP in the application, or can be programmed to be called every ten minutes (about the integration real time). We believe the integration of near real-time realistic option for most e-commerce retailers and wholesalers. If you really see the origin of e-commerce transaction in a shopping cart Within seconds, you can decide for eConnect libraries program

Dynamics GP Posting Batches Automatically from Ecommerce or Custom Application
It is known restriction in such tools, as eConnect SDK for Microsoft Dynamics GP, Integration Manager, where you are restricted to the methods, available to regular Great Plains user in the sense of entering, editing or deleting document, placing it in the batch for following approval by the manager. Just to remind you – GP is mid-market Corporate MRP, ERP, HR and Accounting application, where transaction entering could be assigned to the user with low level of credentials with the ability to save the record in the so-called “batch” for the following approval cycle and final posting by the user with higher level of credentials. This flexibility (and especially with virtually unlimited capabilities of such database platform as Microsoft SQL Server), allows you to implement Dynamics GP in large organization, where responsibility should be segregated. Now, let’s review why eConnect doesn’t allow you to do all the work, including final batch posting. Initially eConnect was introduced as SDK, opening Great Plains Dynamics SOP transactions for e-commerce programmers to transform Shopping Carts (including such popular platforms as Magento/PHP, ASP.Net Storefront and even custom programmed ones) into Sales Order Processing Invoice or Order with Customer Deposit (Credit or Debit Cart prepayment). If you think about the security level of walk-in customer (typical internet surfer, who are willing to purchase something cheaper online), or even on-account customer (in B2B ecommerce scenario), this guy probably should not be allowed to post ecommerce transaction all the way through the General Ledger in Great Plains. Well, at least this should not be allowed to the programmer, who is not really sure what is behind it. But now, let’s assume that you are very comfortable about your grip on Dynamics GP business rules, settings and processes:
1. Transaction validation directly in ecommerce web application. Popular eCommerce shopping carts might have the abilities to validate Credit Card and reserve the amount of payment. Plus, they might be advanced to look at your stock status to be sure that ordered merchandise is available on your default ecommerce warehouse; as additional precaution, you are sure that customer cannot override price level (sometimes it might be difficult to combine legitimate discounts and manufacturer coupons). If you believe that you validate ecommerce shopping cart legitimacy directly through your web application, you may decide to process your shopping cart image, likely SOP Order or Invoice all the way through, including posting in SOP, Inventory Control, Bank Reconciliation and in General Ledger modules. This scenario has some advantages, especially obvious immediate opening the order for fulfillment and shipping directly on the warehouse floor (in good scenarios you may already have Warehouse Management System implemented with sophisticated Barcode scanning, picking and packing, etc.). Let’s now take a look on the additional software tools, that you might need to enable this scenario
2. Dynamics GP Batch Posting Server. Available from Alba Spectrum, this product is based on Microsoft Dexterity technology and it posts the batches, submitted for posting from your external application (it might be web project, generic Microsoft Visual Studio application written in C#, VB.Net and deploying eConnect libraries), or even non-Microsoft platform based application, where you are ready to place batches into custom tables in Microsoft SQL Server to trigger your batch for quasi real time posting (MySQL/PHP/Linux, Oracle, FoxPro, or you name it – good idea to be sure, that you can send the records into MS SQL Server through something like ODBC DNS or native MS SQL Server drivers, if they are available for your computer platform). Posting server posts batches in quasi real time (every five minutes it checks the table if new record – batch number was submitted and it initiates the posting immediately after)
3. Not only e-commerce. Yes, most of the modules in Dynamics GP deploy Batch editing and posting method. And Posting Server handles automatic posting in all the modules (there might be some restrictions, especially when you are deploying Dynamics GP ISV add-ons with posting functionality or when you are programming your own custom module in Great Plains Dexterity). In the case of custom Dexterity programming, it typically possible to open your custom add-ons for auto posting, you need to call Alba Spectrum for the resolution, expecting reasonable budget
4. Posting in multiple Great Plains companies. Yes, Posting Server is capable to post batches in multiple companies without the need for your (or PS itself) to log off current company and login the targeted company in Dynamics GP. Posting Server is programmed directly in Dynamics GP Dexterity with the references to Dexterity Source code (Dynamics.DIC with Dex Sanscript functions, procedures, and fields scripts sources not stripped out), this is why our Dexterity programmers were able to go beyond the normal expectations
5. Versions supported. The product was initially introduced for Dynamics GP (Microsoft Great Plains) 7.5 and it is available for all the subsequent versions: 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 2010/11.0 (we are writing these lines in December 2010, so if you are reading this paper few years from the date, please check with your Dynamics GP Reseller on the status or call us directly)

business electronic commerce for ERP or accounting application, the technology parade of notes
Probably the day that their concerns were mostly about selecting and implementing ERP companies are gone and now the question today is how to integrate new technologies such as electronic commerce (B2B and B2C), Basket , a catalog of customized items, promotional pricing, customer specific pricing e-commerce, electronic exchange of documents (often referred to as EDI). We are not college or university professors, consultants are pretty useful, so do your homework and compare our ideas and recommendations with our Dynamics GP and SAP Business One, competition from channel partners.
2. Is the goal of integration with ERP applications, e-commerce business. We try to be objective, but for future customers to integrate e-commerce, you should know that we are committed as Microsoft Dynamics GP, SAP Business One VAR and distributors. That said – who are interested to help with Great Plains Dexterity, eConnect, SAP Business One SDK programming, design integration of Dynamics GP Integration Manager, SAP B1 Installation Data Transfer Workbench integration, programming, integration EDI for SAP B1 GP or through SQL Server stored procedures with the specific format of EDI SQL SELECT
4. e-commerce credit card processing. Usually ERP business or accounting application is not involved in processing credit and debit cards, but in terms of commerce may decide to reverse this trend. E-commerce credit card processing is too sensitive to give a recommendation to the Internet article, please call
p <6. We try to be neutral generic e-commerce Dynamics GP sales process, and suggests that the commitment to stay away from promoting the sale of one or two existing e-commerce
SAP Business One, the logic and methods of application
SAP B1
functionality covers a wide range of typical ERP topics: financial, banking and bank reconciliation, sales and purchases, inventories, lists of materials requirements planning (also called production or discrete manufacturing), services human resources (contracts guarantee also applies to leases), CRM, sales opportunity management, or simply that is the module for managing customer relationships. Let’s review SB1 implementation scenarios and highlights:
1. License. Traditionally it has been all-in-one user name, but there are variations in the length of user name, usually associated with limited functionality CRM: sales and service, more components of CRM. All-in-one means that you pay for user name and user name that has access to all modules in the PRS BO
2. Integrated modules. In the case of SAP Business One modules integration is natural and modern – do not expect the integration of the command modules of things overnight, or terrible as that. This small and medium businesses ERP is integrated or united only by their very nature to be initially programmed />
Business One
5. Business logic flexibility. As expected, SB1 does not cover the full complexity of the manufacture or distribution of the actual processes of service management, but it is so flexible that small business owners or the user may conclude SB1 ERP to use so mimics appropriate or necessary on the business logic. A good example is the lease that could be implemented to ensure the contracts in SAP Business One, which leased items are simply moved to a technician and the expiration of the contract of new coach – SB1 transfers are implemented as transfers of shares one tank to another
Dynamics GP in manufacturing and logistics: the application of the procedure
modern company
MRP and ERP systems are generally very flexible and have unlimited potential to be implemented in different business environments. However, being able to adapt to you often means you must have reasonable budget for Microsoft Dynamics GP Consulting (assuming that you take this route) to implement Therefore, we recommend that you check with your local doctor Dynamics GP or consultant if implemented Great Plains modules, where it is expected that the business logic, if available, or not -. What is the ballpark estimate of the missing program logic. Zero in the news today, we give some ideas about how Dynamics GP can be implemented in the company where you make light of discrete manufacturing and shipping the finished products to customers in the United States and Canadian national and international level:
Dynamics GP Manufacturing Suite. GP is often associated with mid-market niche corporate ERP, where his production is quite simple. However, Great Plains Dynamics is a suite of production of all engine functions, where one might expect full PLC discrete manufacturing. There are also options for the manufacturing process through Dynamics GP ISV channel. If you are looking for implementation after manufacture, we recommend making your business processes by mapping to Dynamics GP Partner specializing in the production planning needs and also our experience tells us -. manufacturing company often has unique requirements (such as the complex mapping logic serial number, security requirements, quality control, medical and health care regulation, pedigree, “best before …” , regular maintenance, etc.) If this applies to your business, you should expect some custom programming on top of the standard manufacturing application
. BOM As mentioned above, Dynamics GP is a good candidate for the midmarket If you are not pretending to be a thousand employees in the manufacturing plant and warehouse production were rather small, with dozens of workers -. Microsoft Dynamics GP can be the best fit (compared with major ERP packages as Navision, SAP, Oracle eBusiness Suite) Consult your Dynamics GP VAR to give a demonstration in the module BOM -. perhaps this simple and economic solution to meet their needs with a moderate alteration (modification is often done in VBA / Change, Dexterity, Extender)
Manufacturing Automation. When the manufacturing company only has to implement manufacturing BOM or Suite, you may have the need to “automate” the list of input materials, processing and visualization. Through our consulting practice, we have seen cases where to do the manufacturing processes at the plant store bar code, which is scheduled automated home custom application (Microsoft Access with VBA, Visual Studio C # or projects VB.Net, Delphi, Fox Pro and other popular instruments of codification). Below is a list of materials has to be integrated directly in the manufacture Dynamics GP (with some exceptions, when Great Plains user must make a decision on the replacement of the components of maturity). Recommend Alba Spectrum Posting Server and workflow where you can set the manufacturing bill of material lots (and lots of all backgrounds:. GL, payroll, AP, AR, etc.) Also, you can schedule workflow or skill Sanscript pretreatment, VBA, or simply calling EXE or DLL procedure of the
Warehouse Management System. Manufacturing is often associated with scanning bar codes (by transferring items from one place to another, picking and packing, counting inventory, order processing, replacement of the goods). WMS Dynamics GP is available as an extension of the Great Plains modules such as sales order processing, inventory control and purchase order processing
direct output of the plant. Here you may have to explore options for implementing these outlets and commercial applications such as Microsoft RMS (Retail Management System, including warehouse operations, and modules in the field), Counterpoint, more RetailPro, Cybex, Epicor, Cegid Comcash, QuickBooks POS System, POS Aldelo, Logic Control, core retail and other
award controlling manufacturing through exposure to EDI and electronic commerce (B2B and B2C). Dynamics GP modules ISV support EDI (electronic documents), these supplements may be too expensive if you have moderate EDI requirements. We recommend that you contact our office for more budget-oriented options Dynamics GP EDI. Dynamics GP B2B or B2C (business to business or business to consumer). Recommend Alba Spectrum Dynamics GP ISV e-commerce module, where you can integrate these cars popular shopping e-commerce, as Magento (PHP and Linux), ASP. Red Shop. in the case of several hours
Local Service We offer local support Dynamics GP in Michigan (area code 269 – St. Joseph, Benton Harbor, New Haven, Kalamazoo) area location (Chicago, Downtown, 773 North City of sub-base, with the suburbs back to the west and south of Naperville code 630). According to the fields of local support in Houston, San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, California. For local service, please do not hesitate to call 1-866-528-0577, write help@albaspectrum.com
Around the world and the dynamics of international support GP. Yes Please do not hesitate to share your application dynamic general protection or support case with us. We are particularly focused on helping the dynamics of general application in such countries as Honduras, Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, Venezuela, Canada ( including French speaking Quebec), Turks and Caicos, Bahamas, UK Australia, New Zealand, Ireland
Andrew Karasev Great Plains Dynamics GP and eEnterprise Certified Master, Microsoft MVP and consultant with 10 years experience expertise and good if you give me the word -. My personal opinion is strong belief in the revolution in barcode scanners, mobile computing designs e-commerce Microsoft Windows harvest (as they should – we live in an age of technology).

Improve Application Performance with Solix Solutions Database File
1) What are the problems if the data are not archived?
Databases have grown much larger than anticipated by their creators and are filled with unnecessary data. Many companies, therefore, try to prepare for the essentials and archive little used content.
“Data is growing at 125 percent a year, even up to 80 percent of these data remains inactive in production systems where performance is deteriorating,” sad Charlie Garry, senior program director at META Group. “Compounding this problem, many companies are compliance measures requiring the retention of more data for longer periods, as well as consolidation projects that results in significant data growth.”
Database systems that have not adopted the data file are facing many problems such as rising storage costs and lower performance. Continue to store unnecessary data that has no value after a certain time. They argue these unwanted data, including server maintenance and increased storage costs.
Here is an example of a company that uses the data file to improve performance while copying and even the rigors of global compliance issues: Tektronix Inc. Beaverton, Oregon, focuses on measuring and monitoring tests. All financial data of companies is a huge Oracle database. Tektronix previously operated 486 different legacy systems worldwide. Countries like Japan, India and China use complex systems and unique character sets. “All systems inherited from his own computer software and resources,” said Lois Hughes, senior systems analyst Business, Tektronix. “As we continue to add countries, we have expanded the complexity.”
Tektronix current production environment including Oracle 10.7 running in all countries. This means that two instances of />
1) Oracle Financials for accounts payable (AP), general ledger (GL), and other transactional systems running on a Sun UE5000 database with 8 x 336 MHz processors and 3 GB of memory. This instance is 35 GB
2) customer satisfaction Oracle – invoicing, accounts receivable (AR), etc. This database production is about 85 GB and is a Sun UE6000 box 12 x 248 MHz processors and 6 GB of memory. It also includes a forms server – a Sun S2000 Processors 10 x 60 MHz and 2 GB of memory.
This system has a fairly constant traffic volume of around 800 concurrent sessions all day and night. Hughes noted that the greater the number of instances of Oracle Financials, plus costs. Standardization also means the company could improve its level of consumer acceptance, increased inventory visibility throughout the world and reduce global IT spending. The monthly closing of financial data can now be done in three days and a half.
However, this philosophy has contributed its share of problems. The database has expanded rapidly to 60 GB, increasing at a rate of 1.25 GB per month. Performance began to suffer. “Despite years of development and hardware upgrades, the growth rate has increased due to the smaller operation,” said Hughes. Run times for batch programs increased despite fewer executions. ”
Faced with rising costs and lower performance storage, the company has studied the patterns of use of the data. He realized that the implementation of all data from all times when a system has been slow current transactional traffic. Over time, data usage diminished. However, users have reported that the current account of simple queries took forever -. Time enough for coffee, a chat, and then return to your terminal to display the results
2) different solutions:
Data can be organized or stored as reserves. Through tiered storage, snapshot-based backup to disk and / or virtual tape libraries, backup and data recovery has improved since the old standard process of backing up directly from the disk on the main street (and I hope to be able to locate and recover from tape to disk if necessary.)
Data can be archived, where records are removed from production systems and stored or kept for easy access and reference to the detention has expired or the data has no value.
Below is the solution adopted by the previous company to solve this problem is: Tektronix compared the costs and possible outcomes of the two routes forward
a) Keep records of purchases, networks, servers, processes and people or
b) Implement best practices to manage growth of data through intelligent archiving.
From b) seems to be the most attractive, the department first instinct was to use their own resources and existing software. It seemed to serve the best option to reduce the footprint of the data.
However, international financial regulations mean that the bleeding must be parallel to your file. Hughes said that Oracle had several mistakes in the purge of the office. The company has tried to develop its own purge / archive software. But when the administration realized that it could take two years, looked elsewhere. The goal was to be able to manage data by country, while at the same time, centralization. And in different languages and character sets, many countries have very different regulations for data retention.
The company adopted a system for archiving data, which operates in conjunction with Oracle to purge and archive data. Hughes has successfully undertaken a pilot project to apply for entry to the international adoption business wide.
Consequently, the company now realizes transactional data file every three months.
