Microsoft Dynamics GP EDI Integration
Add EDI and order automation to Dynamics GP without migrating to the cloud
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Microsoft / Wipro) requires third-party tooling for EDI order processing. OrderSync connects via direct API to sync EDI, PDF, and email orders as Microsoft Dynamics GP sales records automatically. Most Microsoft Dynamics GP integrations go live in 2 to 4 weeks.
Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly Great Plains) remains active at thousands of distributors and manufacturers who built their operations around it. Originally acquired by Microsoft in 2001, GP was sold to Wipro in 2023 as Microsoft shifted investment to Dynamics 365. Many GP users have no near-term migration plan and need EDI capability to retain retail accounts without touching their existing ERP setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. OrderSync integrates directly with Dynamics GP and does not require a cloud ERP. If you eventually migrate to D365, the OrderSync integration can be redirected to Business Central or F&O without changing your trading partner connections.
OrderSync supports Dynamics GP 2016, GP 2018, and GP 2018 R2. Earlier versions may work depending on the eConnect API version available.
Microsoft sold Dynamics GP to Wipro in 2023. Wipro has committed to continued support. Most industry observers expect GP to remain in mainstream support through at least 2028, with extended support beyond that. OrderSync can support you on GP for as long as you run it, and can migrate to D365 when the time comes.
