Hi, im developing a web application that will post the major enteries to GP. Although have developed all the single headed transactions i.e Invoice, A/R, GL Transactions Posting. But now dont know with the following.

• How can i post Invoices/ POs in Batches through eConnect.
• When we post an Sales Invoice, we have an accounting entry in Distribution that further will be posted by pressing "Post" button. Can we do the "Post" through the eConnect so that user doesn't need to go to GP and press "Post"?

Please suggest, Thanks!

eConnect does not support POSTING transaction, but if you search this forum, there are references to third party vendors that address auto posting.

 Hi Mohsin,

 If you need automated posting of batches in GP after integration, I would recommend Post Master by Envisage Software. I recently reviewed two auto posting solutions and found Post Master to have a better design and more functionality.

 I have a review on my blog:

Ok, if you dont have the facility to POST the transaction then what about the Batch Posting? Do eConnect provide Batch Posting functionality or we need to use third party for this as well?

 Thanks!

 Hi Mohsin,

eConnect does not provide ANY posting capabilities.  It cannot post a transaction and cannot post a batch--it can only import the transaction data.  Posting is only available from within the Dynamics GP application, and not through eConnect or GP Web Services.

Because eConnect imports and effectively "saves" transactions, all transactions must be in a batch, so transaction posting is not really a viable option anyway.

However, Post Master allows you to post batches automatically on a scheduled basis.  You can setup rules so automatically post specific types of batches as frequently as you want.

You could theoretically write a macro to automate the posting process, but if you have enough transaction or batch volume where you truly need automated posting and need it to be reliable,  I definitely wouldn't recommend a macro, and would recommend that you use a 3rd party tool like Post Master.

Thank you so much Steve for your assistance. I was actually looking for some progrmatic solution that i can handle myself for future functional flexibility. But as there is no other way out then i must have to check the Post Master. :)

Thanks again.
