Dynamics GP in the sales chain: point of sale, barcode, Logistics
Microsoft Dynamics GP is also known as Great Plains Dynamics GP the user community. In the retail business often have such difficult conditions of their future corporate ERP system, such as POS (point of sale terminals, so general cash register with barcode scanner, printer coupon credit / debit card processing, checks and cash, dot screen Sales for the customer to see the progress of exploration, etc), bar code scanners in automatic goods, such as sales order fulfillment, inventory replenishment, increase / decrease adjustments, cycle counts (these functions are typically implemented in software warehouse management system). A Sometimes we also do the assembly in order, which could be made in these modules simpler manufacturing BOM, or even sales level order processing kits. Let's review the highlights of how the retail business could be automated in Microsoft Dynamics GP. This publication is primarily aimed at IT director is not overloaded with programming and technical terminology:
1. GP Dynamics Retail products external add-ons. If you like to have only the point of sale functionality very limited and open Great Plains Sales Order entry transaction code scanning bar, there are several add-GP dynamics to consider. One is the extension Compass Technologies. However, if you plan to do more advanced Retail sales, including support to several stores, sort of goods that have mobile shops (which are following seasonal trends retail and deployment of its flowers, landscaping or outlets Farmers Market in the parking lots of supermarkets), you may consider to deploy outside the on less to automate these processes. Dynamics GP as part of Microsoft's offer, please keep in mind Microsoft RMS (Retail Management System) for the unique selling point and Retail
2. The extended position against external RMS. Obviously this is a decision that must be done internally, as it defines their advantages and disadvantages future direction. If you choose POS extensions for Dynamics GP route is not necessary phase of data synchronization, point of sale add-on working directly with major Plains transactions and master records. External POS system gives you the advantage of the logic of rich retail business, but there are disadvantages such as the need to synchronize POS transactions with Dynamics GP Sales Order Processing or notes receivable management and procurement system originated Retail and Inventory adjustments and transfers to similar operations in the Great Plains
3. Dynamics GP and barcodes. You can try to integrate bar code scanned directly into the windows of GP, but this is not very efficient (especially considering the bar code scanner powerful, such as documents options Scan Mode batch, then batch mode up to its ERP application.) Normally it is recommended that you buy or external RMS or extent of the medical position header, where bar codes are integrated. And when you need barcodes in the store, please keep in mind WMS (Warehouse Management System) add-on for the GP, which have features such as Sales Order allocation, inventory adjustments, transfers and physical features, restocking merchandise
4. POS and barcode hardware. When you are in the process of the next Corporate ERP system selection for retail businesses, it is important check your barcode, cash registers on the issue of being compatible with the software retail potential. Please note that the bar code scanners and printers are progressing. For example in the selection dilemma barcode scanner that have multiple choices for luxury or budget, rather oriented : to have the graphical user interface, or support only a few lines of text in the exploration, the internal processing power, memory size, protocols wireless, etc RMS and Microsoft Dynamics GP workstation should be compatible with modern computer with Microsoft Windows (when at the cash register you may want to reduce minimizing the cost of hardware and software in order to achieve these goals you may want to choose something that is quite the minimum)
5. Sitting in his headquarters and see the numbers. Here we are nearing the design theme of financial reports such as Balance, P & L, cash flow statement, most likely versions consolidated these reports (which you would like to consolidate the sales results for stores some or all stores compared with the last month or results last year to give you an idea). Here you have the privilege of using the power of Microsoft Dynamics GP reporting options. If you implement current version should 2010/11.0 implement financial reports Microsoft Management Reporter. For customers in previous versions: 10.0, 9.0, 8.0, 7.5, 7.0, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0, 4.0 – you have FRx Reporting Financial. Both tools are in our view equally powerful
6. Supply Chain Management or go beyond the position and characteristics Retail (Speaking of Logistics and Distribution). SMC is the term that is considered to be broader than the Warehouse Management System. It may include features such as shipments of goods, delivery truck route optimization. If you think that the classical concepts as point of sale retail application, warehouse management system does not work in your case, you should consider to discuss their concerns with Dynamics GP consultant or a partner. Microsoft Dynamics GP is definitely able to address business processes customized requirements, but not the cost of doing that – either in Great Plains Dexterity programming, or even Microsoft Visual eConnect GP Studio SDK
7. Opening e-commerce operations. Here we should consider as technical characteristics of electronic commerce shopping cart (Magento, Shop ASP.Net or similar) integration with your ERP Sales module, in the case of Dynamics GP Sales Order Transaction Processing, Invoice probable or sales orders with customer deposit (credit card payment). Alba Spectrum recommend e-commerce add-on for Dynamics GP
8. Dynamics GP and international business. Multicurrency is compatible with all Great Plains modules. We recommend reviewing the concept of ERP business location where the application ERP must be translated into local languages, in addition to (and in our opinion is more important) – must comply with local law business of the country. Dynamics GP is located in most English speaking countries, in addition to Spanish-speaking Latin America (except Brazil, where Brazilian Portuguese is spoken). At this moment Dynamics GP is not localized to languages such as Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Russian, though translated interfaces are available, please call us for more details
