Microsoft Dynamics GP is one of several ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning, or accounting software) solutions offered by Microsoft under their Dynamics brand.

Microsoft Dynamics GP is one of several ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning, or accounting software) solutions offered by Microsoft under their Dynamics brand. The application was originally developed by Great Plains Software, of Fargo, ND, which was acquired by Microsoft in late 2000 / early 2001. The application is typically self-hosted, with the primary means of end-user interaction being a native Windows application which communicates via ODBC with a single instance of Microsoft SQL Server. Most of the business logic is embedded in the client application, and there is no "middle tier", or dedicated application server between the client(s) and the database. Extensions to the application (such as Microsoft Business Portal for Dynamics GP) extend the interaction surface to Microsoft SharePoint, SQL Server Reporting Services, and Microsoft Excel.

The application is a popular solution for what Microsoft refers to as "SMB" (Small and Medium Business) clients, and is positioned above applications such as QuickBooks, and below the ERP suites sold by (e.g.) Oracle and SAP. There is a rich ecosystem of applications and tools, both from Microsoft and ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) that extend the base offering.

Most development work related to GP involves customization of the application for specific clients/industries, reporting, business intelligence, and integration.

This tag should be used for:

  • any questions relating to the development of applications, integrations, and reporting solutions for Dynamics GP
  • questions about applications which directly extend Dynamics GP, such as eConnect, or Dynamics GP web services
  • questions about the underlying technology stack (such as Microsoft SQL Server, or SharePoint) as it specifically relates to Dynamics GP
