Great Plains gurus, I need your assistance.

How do you connect to multiple companies in which you manage their accounting information?

Is it similar to QuickBooks where you connect to a company file when you login? This is an actual flat file that resides on your computer.

Or is it more along the lines of a database with multiple companies within it and you select the company to connect to when you sign in?

While I am getting GP installed in our internal environment for testing I wanted to reach out to you and get your expertise.

We are in the beginning stages of coding our integration to GP and we would like to get your feedback on how you connect as this is how we will need to build the "connection" between our upcoming YM GP Connector and the company to which you want to import invoice items.

Keep in mind we are building the integration so you can schedule invoice synchronization. We are not going to require that you download the financial batch and perform a manual import into GP. If you are an AMC and manage several associations we need a way for you to define some connection settings so the GP company is connected to the correct YM site. We assume the company in GP has a unique company ID.

I look forward to your feedback.
