The Challenge

The Disconnected Reality: Why Dynamics GP & CRM Silos Hurt Your Business

Without a robust integration, your Microsoft Dynamics GP and Dynamics CRM systems operate in isolation, leading to a host of inefficiencies, inaccuracies, and missed opportunities. This disconnect fragments your customer journey and impedes holistic business operations.

  • Manual Data Entry & Duplication: Sales orders, customer updates, and financial details are manually re-entered across systems, leading to errors and wasted time.
  • Incomplete Customer View: Sales and service teams lack real-time access to financial history, payment status, or inventory availability, hindering effective customer engagement.
  • Delayed Order Processing: The gap between CRM sales and ERP fulfillment causes bottlenecks, slow order-to-cash cycles, and customer dissatisfaction.
  • Inaccurate Reporting & Forecasting: Disparate data makes it impossible to get a single source of truth for sales performance, financial health, and inventory planning.
  • Compliance & Audit Risks: Manual processes increase the risk of data inconsistencies and make it harder to maintain audit trails for financial transactions.

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping for GP-CRM Integration

Seamless integration relies on precise mapping of core business entities between Dynamics GP and Dynamics CRM. Our iPaaS provides intelligent tools to ensure data fidelity and consistency.

Customer / Account & Contact

The foundational entity for managing customer relationships and financial transactions. Harmonizing this ensures a unified customer view.

Dynamics GP Fields

CUSTNMBR (Customer ID) CUSTNAME (Customer Name) CUSTCLAS (Customer Class) ADRSCODE (Address Code) ADDRESS1, CITY, STATE, ZIPCODE PHONE1, EMAIL CUSTBLNC (Current Balance) CRCRDLMT (Credit Limit)

Dynamics CRM Fields

accountid (Account ID) name (Account Name) accountnumber (Account Number) primarycontactid (Primary Contact) address1_composite (Billing Address) emailaddress1 creditlimit (Custom Field) balance (Custom Field) contactid firstname lastname

Mapping Notes

Bi-directional sync. GP's CUSTNMBR often maps to CRM's accountnumber (or a custom field for external ID). Address fields require careful multi-field mapping. Credit limit and balance from GP are typically mapped to custom fields in CRM's Account entity for visibility.

Integration Use Cases

Explore how the integration behaves in real business scenarios, with clearly defined steps, outcomes, and execution patterns.

eCommerce Order Fulfillment & Customer Service

An online order placed on an eCommerce platform triggers creation of a Sales Order in Dynamics CRM. The CRM order then flows to Dynamics GP for financial processing, inventory deduction, and fulfillment. Updates on shipment and invoice status from GP are pushed back to CRM and the eCommerce platform, enabling customer service to track orders seamlessly.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 New order from eCommerce platform captured by iPaaS.
  2. 1 Customer 'Account' and 'Contact' created/updated in Dynamics CRM.
  3. 2 Sales 'Order' created in Dynamics CRM (linking to Account/Contact and 'Product').
  4. 3 Dynamics CRM Sales Order mapped to Dynamics GP 'Sales Order' (SOPHDRWORK, SOPLINEWORK).
  5. 4 Dynamics GP processes order, allocates inventory, generates invoice.
  6. 5 Invoice and shipment status from GP synchronized back to Dynamics CRM 'Sales Order' and 'Activity'.
  7. 6 CRM updates trigger notifications to eCommerce platform and customer.

Business Outcome

Real-time order processing, accurate inventory, improved customer communication, reduced order fulfillment errors.

Transformation Logic

  • Data Type Conversion: Convert GP's string-based IDs to CRM's GUIDs, or GP's numeric fields to CRM's decimals.
  • Field Concatenation/Splitting: Combine CRM first/last name into GP customer name, or split GP address lines into CRM fields.
  • Lookup & Enrichment: Enrich CRM customer data with GP's credit limit or payment terms via real-time lookups.
  • Conditional Mapping: Map fields based on specific conditions (e.g., map a product discount only if it meets a minimum quantity threshold).
  • Default Value Assignment: Automatically assign default values for non-mandatory fields if source data is missing.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • API Rate Limit Exceeded: iPaaS automatically throttles and retries with backoff.
  • Invalid Data Format: Data is quarantined in a dead-letter queue, and an alert is sent for correction.
  • Duplicate Record Attempt: iPaaS identifies existing record and updates instead, or flags for review based on rules.
  • Network/System Unavailability: Transactions are queued and retried until the connection is restored.
  • Business Logic Violation: If a GP business rule is violated (e.g., negative inventory), the transaction fails, and an alert is sent, potentially triggering a CRM workflow for sales rep notification.
