• ReqMgmtDocument table. This table stores all your purchase requests created, submitted and approved in BP Requisition Management module, also you should be aware that this table resides in DYNAMICS database and so it has CompanyID field. You should compare company ID with GP SY01500 table, which also resides in Dynamics database, but it is Microsoft Dexterity table and it is within GP architecture realm.

• POP tables. In Microsoft Dynamics GP you should know the posting workflow. For the most of transaction types GP is batch processing system, however Purchase Order is an exception – it has statuses and PO lifecycle is the change of statuses. However when you receive against purchase orde – purchase receipt transaction is batch oriented and you can post either individual transaction (in this case the batch number will be your user id) or the whole butch upon the approval. Tools->Resource Description->Tables in GOP workstation will give you the names of the tables in POP, if you switch series to Purchasing. More likely you will need to research the following tables: POP10100 – Purchase Order Work, POP30100 – Purchase Order History (it goes to history when all the lines are received), POP10300 – Purchase Receipt Work, POP30300 – Purchase Receipt History

• SQL View or Stored Procs creation. As you can mention, both products – Microsoft Great Plains and Business Portal for GP reside in the same SQL server and even share former Microsoft Great Plains databases: Dynamics and company DB. This makes view or sp creation and easy task, as you don’t really need to create something like linked server and pass it as a parameter to the query.
