Node Dynamics GP

Read only inquiries into Microsoft Dynamics GP using a SQL Server connection.

The purpose of this project to make it easy to incorporate on prem Dynamics GP data into custom business applications. It connects to the underlying SQL Server directly, and returns data in easy-to-use Javascript objects.

Built to validate transactions linked from the City of Sault Ste. Marie's Sunrise CMS.

Tested with Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018.

Features

• 🙌 TypeScript types. Easy to get started.

• 🙌 Temporary caching to reduce database hits and function return times.

• 🙌 All whitespace trimmed from the end of the char data. Strings are ready to use!

• 🙌 Consistent and clear field names. For example:

  • PRIMVNDR becomes primaryVendorId
  • PHNUMBR2 becomes phoneNumber2
  • PHONE3 becomes phoneNumber3

Good Use Cases

• ✔️ Validating a corresponding receipt number was properly entered.

• ✔️ Displaying the status of an outstanding invoice in a business application.

• ✔️ Populating contact fields based on customer information.

Not So Good Use Cases

• ❌ Reporting on all of the inventory items at a specific location. Use a SmartList instead.

• ❌ Modifying Dynamics GP data. Use Dynamics GP.
