Integration Detail
MC Trade integrates with Microsoft Dynamics GP to help streamline your accounting data entry. You can set up the connection to Great Plains in the Admin section, and use this connection to import General Ledger accounts for setup, and to actually post transactions entered into MC Trade as journal entries to Great Plains.
To set up the integration, you will need to download MC Trade Financials Desktop Integration if you have not done so yet. You will need to contact Support for your license key.
When setting up the integration, there are some steps that must be performed on Microsoft Dynamics GP server prior to setting up MC Trade. These steps will have to be performed by your Microsoft Dynamics GP VAR (Value Added Reseller).
VAR Setup Steps
- Microsoft Dynamics GP needs to be running on a SQL server.
- Set up SSPI Authentication from the workstation(s) to the server.
- Set up eConnect service.
- Provide the Connection String, example below:
data source=ServerName;initial catalog=DatabaseName;integrated security=sspi
The string will be used in the next set of steps in MC Trade. You can get ServerName and your unique DatabaseName from the Support Team.
- From the MC Trade Financials desktop application, click the Accounting Package Integration tab.
- Click the Edit/View Accounting Packages link.
- Click New to add a new Accounting Package.
- In the Package Type drop down, choose Microsoft Dynamics GP.
- Enter a name for the package so you can identify it in MC Trade
- Fill in the Microsoft Dynamics GP Connection String field to tell MC Trade where your Microsoft Dynamics GP database is located. You will likely need to get this from your VAR (see above).
- Click Save
- To test, post a single transaction to Microsoft Dynamics GP via Post Transactions.
Troubleshooting
If for any reason you do not get a successful test, double-check that you have entered everything correctly.
If you still cannot get the test to complete successfully, contact Support.
Account Code Assignment
Once you have completed this integration, you can set up your Revenue Codes in the Admin section to connect with your General Ledger Accounts.
