When you think about the future of your Microsoft Dynamics GP architecture, you probably expect that business logic will be increasingly exposed or even moved as in the case of Requisition Management module through web technologies, or application, which you run in internet browser, such as IExplorer. Good example of such solution among Microsoft Dynamics family of products is Microsoft CRM. In the case of ERP products, MBS moves them into Business Portals. This small article is about Requisition Management module, which is built on Microsoft Dynamics GP Business Portal platform
• Sharepoint. Business Portal in turn is based on Microsoft Sharepoint and it could only be installed on the Sharepoint extended web server. If you are not very comfortable with this statement and expect that you will have to learn a bunch of stuff about Sharepoint, this is not the case – if you don’t have Sharepoint Business Portal Installation will install Sharepoint in MS SQL Server select
• eConnect. Technically eConnect is the set of stored procedures, which allow you to create, modify, delete GP objects: Account, Customer, Sales Order, etc. eConnect is a connector, which allows such products as Microsoft Business Portal for Great Plains do not use traditional technology as Microsoft Dexterity or former name Great Plains Dexterity and deal with GP data manipulation via eConnect. Business Portal utilizes eConnect seamlessly behind the scenes, all you should take care of is install eConnect properly following installation guide for Microsoft Great Plains Business Portal
• Licensing. Business Portal user license cost is typically a way lower than Microsoft Dynamics GP System Manager user license. And this is natural – you do not expect all your employees who places Purchase Request (probably all your permanent employees, or at least all your office inhabitants) to be Great Plains users – instead they will be just Business Portal users, creating purchase requests in Requisition Management and using others BP modules: HR and Employee Self Service, for example
