Microsoft Dynamics GP Logistics Custom Extensions and Development Tools

Formerly this Corporate ERP application was known as Great Plains Dynamics and eEnterprise.  Microsoft Dynamics GP is good platform for Distributions, Logistics, Supply Chain Management, Warehouse Management, Consignment functionality.  Plus it is open for external SCM and WMS applications via such technologies as Integration Manager, eConnect, Microsoft Dexterity, Modifier with VBA scripting, Microsoft Visual Studio libraries (often in combination with light Dexterity programming), direct ODBC connection to Dynamics GP company tables and via SQL Stored Procedures.  In this small publication we would like to review several modules, typically involved in Logistics business logic integration and custom programming:

1. Sales Order Processing.  SOP Transaction Entry screen is probably the leader in the popularity of being customized in Dexterity, Modifier/VBA and MS Visual Studio.  If you are looking for Warehouse Management System Order Fulfillment via Barcode scanning on the warehouse floor – the good way to do this is to trigger SOP Order line allocation logic in SOP Entry screen when item ID and QTY are scanned and now ready to be pushed to Dynamics GP

2. Purchase Order Processing.  Here Purchase Receipt is often used for integration with WMS system, when you are receiving merchandize on the floor of the warehouse by scanning Receiving sheets and item barcode labels

3. Inventory Control.  Here you typically expose to SCM extensions such screens as Inventory Adjustment, Transfer, Cycle Count (often referred as Physical Count, or Stock Count)

4. Integration Manager and External WMS or SCM integration.  We recommend this approach as the most reliable, however it is probably not real time one.  Consider the following scenario.  Your external WMS does Sales Order Fulfillments, Purchase Receipts, Inventory Counts and other transactions and saves them in its own Database (MS SQL, Oracle, MySQL/PHP/Linux, MS Access or another platform).  Then you run on demand Integration Manager integration, based on Advanced ODBC data query, running cross platform ODBC view to pull data from external WMS DB and push it into Dynamics GP SOP, POP, Inventory or other modules

5. eConnect.  As we already mentioned above IM doesn't do real time integration (however it is possible to set it firing every twenty minutes to imitate quasi real time integration) and if this is your goal or you would like to have better control from custom WMS system (especially when you are in house programmer of the WMS itself) – consider eConnect.  In MS Visual Studio C# or VB.Net projects (we are mentioning these programming languages simply due to the fact that eConnect SDK has code sample in C# and VB – if you prefer another .Net compliant language you are free to use it) you can include eConnect libraries to call Dynamics GP objects to be created, modified or deleted.  All modules mentioned above are available for eConnect programming

6. Dexterity, Modifier, SQL Scripting.  We recommend you other articles, posted on the major info portals, composed by Alba Spectrum technical writers.  The most powerful would be Great Plains Dexterity, where you physically do not have the limits in reaching and manipulating Great Plains document and master records.  In fact we are offering Alba Spectrum Posting and Workflow Automation Server, where you can add Dexterity scripts to automate such routines as Manufacturing Order automation steps and then finally post MO without user intervention

How To Write Annual Reports

How to write a finanical evaulation of a company?

We had to get annual finanical report of a company, after we learn about the report. Now we must write a finanical evaluation, assessment of the company from the perspective of an investor.

Can't really answer your question other than barking up the wrong tree unless we know what kind of industries you are working with. Each industries have their own particulars and strategic issues and analysists watch those tendencies very closely. You have to understand what critical elements confront that particular industry before you do your anaysis.

In general, you start with your ratio analysis. There are many, many ratios that you can track. Some are critical while others may be meaningless. If you are looking at a financial statemenst there should be plenty of numbers to come up with a bunch of financial ratios and give you a good idea at least on the numbers stand point how a company is doing.

1. Asset to liability ratio.... your are looking at how much you own to how much you owe. Some industries are highly leveraged. Some are not. In general a 2 to 1 of Ok.

2. Current Ratio... your short term asset against your short term liability. This is liquidity...our ability to pay bills quickly.

3. Quick ratio....short term assets minus inventory against short term liabilities. This really tells the companie's ability to meet its day to day cash position

4. Inventory turn over...if the company is in sales or manufacturing but is meaningless if you are and airline company.

5. Return on total assets and return on investment...how efficient is the company using its money (or its stoch holders investment)

6. Dividend payments...an investor gets two things back for investing ...dividend and appreication in stock value. Is my dividends pay better than a CD or money market? If the company is not paying dividends, can I expect the stocks to take off like the Dot Com companies a while back?

7. price to earning (P/E ratio), the higher reflects investor confidence in the compay.

8. Profit margin... it tells you how quickly you can break even and how risky the business may be. The road to hell is pathed with volume. Airlines have a very high B/E point and a spike in fuel will put them in the red (That is another thing to watch).

This list goes on and on. But you need to know what are the strategic issues in that industry is in order to have some meaningful analysis. Crunching numbers doesn't do anything. There are other aspects that does not always appear on the financials. Market share, paterns held, management team, research and development, goodwill (the ability to charge premium because of the companies reputation), the company's dependency on an uncontrollable strategic supply such as fuel for an airline company. These are things an investor need to have to assess the health of a company. The following is a place you can find just about any financial you want. I am sure some of them may be useful to you. Have fun.
