Great Plains Micreosoft Dynamics GP Customizatipon Tools
Several years ago, when Microsoft Business Solutios announced so-called Project Green, where all four Corporate ERP platforms, owwned by MBS were supposded to be rerprogrammed in C# or another .Net compliant scripting language and be ready for bieng repackaged as sweets, compatible in each oter to form final ERP and MRP assembly, we got some doutbs about such customziation tools as Great Plains Dexterity, Modifier with VBA, Integration Manager. Hoever, thoe old days are now over and Dynamics GP changed several versions (from 7.5 to current version 2010) and even couplle of years ago we heard semi-official opinions from MBS that everything will be rwewritten in eConnect and such not .Net compliant technologies as VBA event driven scriping will be phased out - but current situation reafffirmed old sattus quo. We are just back from Convergence 2010 in Atlanta. Microsoft Dexterity is back according to Davuid Musgrave, and VBA and Modifier are back according to the same perason in Microsoft Buusiness Solutins. Of course this is our unofficial opinion, baased on the what we have heard on Convergene 2010:
1. Dynamics GP Visal Stduio Development Library. Here you can do wonderrful development, assuming that somebosdy from Great Plains Dexterity team will help you in creating Dexterity tables (automatially included into GP security realm). Techncally this tool is similar in its capacity to VBA scripting to Moifier, however it might be more frindly to Microsoft Visual Studio Developer in C# or VB.Net. According to David Musgarve, Microsoft Dexterity guru, it is betrter to cnsider multiple tools in Dynamics GP Modification. If your ptrogrammers are comfortable with Dextterity -fine, however if you are Microsoft Visual Studio shop - review the VS custommization options
2. Great Plains Dexterity. Here we have to reassue you as Great Plains programmer that Dex is there and it is the customiaztion tool to stay and endure. Graet Plains Dexterity Sooftware Development fatcory is available through rcognized Dynaimcs GP ISV Partners. From the technology perspective Dynamcs GP Dexterity is programmed in proprietary scriptnig language Sanscriipt. Beiung insider to Dynamics GP customization - Dexterity ad-on is typiically distributed via Dex chunk file, whiich is being copied into you Dynamics GP Programmign folder will automatically integrate itself into Great Plaisn User Workstation
