Connect Edifact and Microsoft Dynmics GP

Connecting Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics GP for a company could enable the automated exchange of standardized business documents, such as purchase orders and invoices, between trading partners and the accounting or ERP system. This could reduce manual data entry, improve transaction accuracy, and support efficient processing of financial and supply chain information.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Edifact and Microsoft Dynmics GP around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Edifact and Microsoft Dynmics GP?

A company that operates both Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics GP could benefit from connecting these systems to enable direct data exchange between them. Such a connection could reduce manual data entry, which is often required when the same information must be entered separately into each system. Without this kind of integration, there is a risk that records in Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics GP could diverge over time, leading to inconsistencies between operational and financial data. This could result in decisions being made based on outdated or incomplete information, as updates in one system may not be promptly reflected in the other. If a connection were established, it could enable the transfer of business documents, such as purchase orders, invoices, and shipping notices, between Edifact, which is a standard for electronic data interchange, and Microsoft Dynamics GP, which is an enterprise resource planning solution. This could streamline processes such as order-to-cash and procure-to-pay by ensuring that critical transaction data is consistent across both platforms. The specific data that could be exchanged would depend on the capabilities and data models of each system, as well as the needs of the business. Ultimately, what can actually be exchanged between Edifact and Microsoft Dynamics GP depends on the APIs and data structures each system makes available, and would need to be determined for each specific implementation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Edifact and Microsoft Dynmics GP make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
