I am currently working with a demo of RMS and trying to determine if it would be an appropriate product for us. I am also looking into moving our accounting from Quickbooks to Great Plains. I would much appreciate if someone can help me with the following:
- In the demo, I am trying to do a proof-of-concept with importing customer information from our current home-grown Access database. Basically, I'm using ODBC to link to both databases and run a query to import records from one to the other. Can someone tell me all the tables/fields associated with creating a customer record in the RMS DB?
- Assuming we go with GP, I would certainly be interested in integrating RMS with GP. I understand that this integration is currently limited and only at the HQ level. Is HQ a separately licensed product? Does MS plan to better the integration between GP and RMS anytime soon?
- I've noticed that the help files/documentation for RMS refer to several third party EDC applications. Does RMS actually handle processing transactions itself or would we have to license one of the third part applications that work with RMS?
- We would ultimately like to integrate purchasing and credit card processing with our website. Is this easy to do with RMS? Would it require additional apps? Would it be a good idea to link a website directly to the RMS database?
Thanks, Scott
