Microsoft Great Plains, designed back in 1990th as database transferable and graphical platform independent ERP application ? Great Plains DynamicsDynamics CS+eEnterprise. For eCommerce developer the most important is to understand Great Plains tables structure and business processes in Sales Order Processing, Accounts Receivables, Inventory Control (inventory items allocation, backordering Joe Smith Jersey , etc), posting to Bank Reconciliation and General Ledger. And this is where Great Plains structure seems to be not transparent. Let?s give you highlights:


Great Plains Tables Structure. Open Great Plains, if on version 7.5 or prior, Tools->Resource Description->Tables, then you should select Sales series Mateen Cleaves Jersey , explore these tables: Sales Order Processing module (SOP)
SOP10100 ? Sales Order Processing header SOP10200 ? Sales Order Processing lines SOP10102 ? Sales Distribution Work and History ? it is how Invoices will be distributed in GL ? in case if you are creating quote or sales order with the following processing in GP backend ? you do not need distribution
Accounts Receivable module:
RM00101 ? Customer Master RM00102 ? Customer Address Master ? each customer can have multiple addresses for delivering, billing, statement mailing, etc.
Possible issues and recommendations:
If using eConnect ? you may decide to transfer Sales Orders to Invoices automatically with eConnect ? this might be tricky and additional scripting might be needed, especially if you are doing automatic order allocation by line item. If you are trying to relay on eConnect exclusively and not researching Great Plains Architecture ? you will need additions to eConnect from third party vendor Dennis Rodman Jersey , such as Alba Spectrum Technologies, which has the whole set of SOP populating stored procedures If you are not using eConnect and creating your own custom stored procedures ? you should probably create orders or other objects in Great Plains and then look at the way how they were recorded in SOP tables If you feel that you need to relay on Great Plains engine behind the scenes (because you feel that imitation will require you to rewrite substantial portion of Great Plains logic) ? you could deploy Dexterity triggers from Great Plains side ? this solution requires professional Dexterity programmer and is more reliable and upgrade ? proof

Most MBA students, even those from the best b-schools of India, believe that reading theory is a waste of time.
Take the adage Terry Mills Jersey , 鈥淕ive a man a fish and he is not hungry for a day; teach a man to fish and he will not be hungry ever!鈥?what we want is the fish, not the theory behind catching fish.
When I ask someone for help in a particular situation, and he gives me theoretical answers and asks me to figure it out, I feel impatient and betrayed. I want a quick pill that will help alleviate the symptoms.
Theoretically, once the symptoms are gone Joe Dumars Jersey , I can do a root cause analysis to prevent recurrence. But this rarely happens. We do not revisit the doctor if the symptoms are gone.
Let us take the doctor analogy further, should we go to:
1. A doctor knows the theory of medicine?
2. A person who has not attended medical school but has assisted a doctor in his rounds, say, a nurse?
3. Other persons who have some past experience in similar symptoms?
The answer is logically obvious:
1. no assistant or non-professional would have come across all the cases and variations and there-fore
2. cannot guess or set up the right tests to understand the root cause of the problem.
But emotionally, we do it the reverse way -
1. Other persons first Ben Wallace Jersey , then
2. someone who has had similar symptoms, then
3. a quack and finally
4. a doctor.
Even in corporate life, we try the old tested ways based on the experience of the employees. Sometimes we hire consultants because like doctors, they are detached from the problem and they have learnt more theory.
Only a doctor trained in root cause analysis would ask the right questions and recommend the tests to find the cause of the fever. A good doctor has the following characteristics:
1. He has learnt the theory of analysis and possible method to derive the root causes
2. He knows how to apply the theory 鈥?this requires creativity
3. He has the experience of some of the applications
A quack, on the other hand Chauncey Billups Jersey , know only point 3 above: some experience and a smattering of bookish knowledge form the most convenient layman book available.
So, why read theory?
1. It is the distillation of the thoughts and experiences of other persons and their perspective.
2. Healthy scepticism is necessary. It is not gospel truth, it is simply a theory and a perspective.
3. If we do not understand the author鈥檚 perspective and then, more importantly, do not argue in which situation it will work and in which it will not Tracy McGrady Jersey , we are believing that the theory is a law of nature. That is incorrect. It is the argument about the theory.
