5. EDI. If you order goods from large manufacturers, you may need Electronic Document Interchange integration with their ordering systems. As EDI rules are typically simple – fixed length text fields in the text file, consider simple way of formatting SQL select statement output with convert and cast commands
6. Sales Tax. If you sell to all 50 states, Sales Tax calculation accuracy and tax filing should be addressed. In Great Plains it is reasonably straightforward routine and you may deploy Sales Tax web service from various vendors: Avalara would be one of them
7. Reporting. You should be ready to face cross-platform DB queries to address reporting requirements. From MS SQL Server you can create Linked Servers to create distributed queries: SQL Views and Stored Procedures. Then you deploy standard reporting tools: Crystal Reports or Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services – SRS. In the case of strictly financial reports, including consolidated financial statements, you should consider FRx reporting. FRx is proper tool for Balance Sheet, P&L, Statement of Cash Flow, it allows you to pull GL data from GP databases as well as combine budgets and simple balances from Excel
