Dynamics Gp Customization Tools Selection Practical Advices

Great Plains custom programming might be done in a variety of ways

, including Dexterity, eConnect, Modifier with VBA, Extender, Microsoft Visual Studio Tools, directly in SQL scripts. If you are thinking about reporting, all the reports design methodologies, where native SQL driver or ODBC are supported could be deployed for managerial reports, while financial reports are recommended in such tools as Microsoft Management Reporter as well as in traditional one FRx. This paper is designed to help business owner or IT manager to hire the right programming resource for GP modification project:

1.Dexterity. This is for professional programmer, it is very difficult to get through Dex learning curve without being employed in Great Plains Technology Partner consulting firm. Dexterity might be recommended, when you are planning to modify direct user interface (please, be sure, we are not talking about Business Portal, as this is web based application, programmed in .Net), so called fat client

2.eConnect. This is rather integration tool however it eConnect libraries could be included into MS Visual Studio C# or VB .Net web project, where you may consider it as web based user interface extension. You can also combine Visual Studio Tools (for GP) with eConnect and by doing so enable eConnect direct fat client user interface modification, but in our opinion Dexterity would be simpler and more natural

3.VBA in Modifier and Integration Manager. Please, note, that VBA is not VB.Net, it is rather archaic VB, which was popular in old MS Visual Studio be sure that you are ready to recollect your old software coding skills, coming all the way back to the end of 1990th. Modifier is just a modification tool, it doesnt allow you to create new forms (they could be theoretically created in VBA popup dialogs, but this is not really something compliant to GP security model and interface code). IM allows you to add integration event handers in VB

4.Extender, there are two flavors, one is coming directly from Microsoft Business Solutions and the second one is from eOne, original Extender development company in Australia (eOne Enterprise). The Enterprise version allows you to animate Extender new forms with Dexterity Sanscript codes (please expect that no debugging tools available for eOne to trace Sanscript lines, but having spelled this caution, we still think that Enterprise version is the great one)
