Microsoft Dynamics GP EDI Integration
Add EDI and order automation to Dynamics GP without migrating to the cloud
Microsoft Dynamics GP (Microsoft) 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) still runs thousands of distributors and manufacturers. Microsoft has set an end date: product enhancements, tax and regulatory updates and technical support end on December 31, 2029, and security updates on April 30, 2031. Many GP users aren't ready to migrate yet and need EDI that keeps retail accounts compliant without touching their existing ERP setup.
Who Uses Microsoft Dynamics GP?
EDI Challenges for Microsoft Dynamics GP Users
Microsoft Dynamics GP users face specific challenges when they need to process EDI orders from retail trading partners:
Common Pain Points
- EDI providers increasingly deprioritize GP as Microsoft shifts to D365
- eConnect API requires technical expertise to use reliably
- No cloud-native integration options exist for standard GP installations
- PDF and email orders still require manual entry into GP
- Trading partner EDI mandates arriving faster than the GP-to-D365 migration timeline
How OrderSync Integrates with Microsoft Dynamics GP
Available today on any Microsoft Dynamics GP deployment that can consume them: EDI 850 purchase orders over SFTP, with 855, 810, 856, and 997 on the same channel. A native connector is available on request and scoped per deployment: Dynamics GP eConnect API and Web Services integration. It would sync orders as GP Sales Transactions with customer and item master matching against GP company databases. It would support multi-company GP setups.
