Dynamics GP integrations: Eliminate the need for perfection

On the Dynamics GP Land blog, Steve Endow wrote that he recently had a call with a customer who wanted to review an error he was seeing with the AP Invoice integration. The custom integration is fairly complex as it involved importing invoices from 90 retail locations into 30 different Dynamics GP companies, with distributions between companies.

Endow wrote that there was an interesting twist to this particular integration - although the invoice data contained a retail store number, it didn't tell the import which GP company the invoice belonged to.

Not only that that, but nothing in the GP companies indicated which retail stores belong to which database.

Some retail stores have their own dedicated GP company database, while other retail stores are managed together in a GP company database. The users just know which retail store belongs to which GP company.
