Thanks for the information. And let me admit up front I have only been
using Great Plains for about 2 months (The company I work for has been using
it for almost 2 years). So my overall knowledge of Great Plains is limited
at best. Know one has taught me about the ability to transfer a whole
batch.
However our current problem we would like to solve is we have a separate
shipping program. What happens is our Orders get sent to that program and
when they actually get shipped that program updates Great Plains with the
new information and is supposed to transfer the order to an invoice for me.
However it does not work as smoothly as we hopped. The best I can tell it
completes the order and then create a whole new invoice based on that order.
I'm not completely sure but I believe this is different than if I had
transferred the order in Great Plains.
The way all this ties in to our eConnect pilot is we are wanting to use
eConnect for several other smaller things but all of them combined still
does not justify the purchase of eConnect where if eConnect provided this
functionality it would justify the purchase of eConnect!
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Allen Tuggle

I am currently developing a Dexterity customization to fulfill orders based
on a fulfillment report - i.e. a text file that lists Order Number, item
Number, quantity shipped, ship date and so on. This customization has a UI
to import the text file and process the fulfillment. This client uses a
separate fulfilllment process for their orders.
We did consider adding functionality to transfer the order to invoice when
the order is fulfilled, and even to move these invoices to a separate batch.
We decided to wait and see and postponed this part to Phase 2. We felt the
transfer process could just as well be handled at the batch level. i.e.
pull up the batch and click on Transfer.
One drawback of the batch transfer method is that it creates the new invoice
in the same batch. Development on Phase 2 may be acceleratd if the current
method proves to be inadequate.
I'd be interested in hearing about your needs - it might help us with our
customization.

Post by patNot going to happen unless you write it yourself. Or somebody else
recreated this process as a stored procedure and you could get the proc
from
Post by patthem. The Dexterity code that manages the transfer document types is all
bound on the Transfer SOP Document window. So in order to use it you have
to have great plains running and you have to use that window regardless.

eConnect does not support transferring SOP Orders to Invoices.
taIVTransferHeaderInsert is for the inventory tables, not the SOP
tables.
