Microsoft Great Plains, current version in 10 historically had very robust
integration tool - Great Plains Integration Manager (IM). GP customers historically
deployed IM since earlier 1990th up to today and this tool should be utilized in the
future. IM integration design is often end-user routine, however is some cases you
will need IM to be given professional consultant touch. Let's come through few
examples
1. GL transaction import, one source. This is classical IM design task, however if
your case is complicated, where you have to cancel to integrate specific lines
without real data (comments lines in text file and things like that), then you will
need to deploy VBA scripting in the IM events handler - in this case 'Before
Document' event
2. ODBC data sources. Especially when you have data to be integrated sitting in SQL
Server tables, where you need stored procedures to preprocess integration dataset
and send it to GP. This type of assignment requires strong SQL scripting, knowledge
of GP tables and IM linking
3. Translation technology. IM allows you to deploy translation table. The typical
scenario is something like that - you have to integrate payments on behalf of your
customers to the bank (which is your GP customer). Or similar, but reverse scenario
in AP - typical to collection management business. You can further advance
translation rules with VBA scripting, if required
