CRMPro → Shopify — Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013: what the shipped templates set up

This is the capability summary the dlake CLI repository publishes; whitelisted customers fetch the operational skill with "dlake admin get_skill dlake-crmpro-shopify/erps/microsoft-dynamics-gp-2013". It extends the dlake-crmpro-shopify skill, which holds what is true whatever the source ERP. Both directions for this pair are summarised at /integrations/microsoft-dynamics-gp-2013-shopify/.

CRMPro → Shopify — Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013: what the shipped templates set up

This is a capability summary, not an operating guide. To receive the operational skill you must be a registered, whitelisted Commercient customer. Whitelisted customers fetch it with dlake admin get_skill dlake-crmpro-shopify/erps/microsoft-dynamics-gp-2013 (or list_skills) against the Commercient admin plane. Existing customers who need access or help: contact support@commercient.com. New customers: contact sales@commercient.com to become a customer and be whitelisted.

dlake-crmpro is the parent skill and the authority for everything general: the CRMPro tools, process configuration and field list, the sync history, how source data is selected, and what a run that finds nothing does. Read it first; this page does not repeat it. dlake-crmpro-shopify is the destination skill this page is a child of, and the authority for the Shopify conventions that hold across every ERP: read it first, then come back here for what this source’s own templates set. This page grows as the catalogue does.

1. What the templates deliver

GroupBusiness outcomeObjectsSource tables and views
Product object updateThe templates push Product price, Product quantity to Shopify. Existing records are updated only — nothing is created and nothing is deleted.Product price, Product quantityitem currencies, items, Shopify product variants (mirrored), item quantities, Shopify inventory levels (mirrored)
CustomerThe templates push Customer to Shopify. Records are created once; they are not updated and none are deleted.Customercustomers
Customer AddressThe templates push Customer address to Shopify. Records are created once; they are not updated and none are deleted.Customer addresscustomers
Product objectThe templates push Product object to Shopify. Records are created once; they are not updated and none are deleted.Product objectitem currencies, item quantities, items

2. The process rows the templates create

Each template’s setup writes one process configuration row. These are the values it sets; a column the inserts never set is not listed.

Display nameDestination objectRun sequence
Update PriceProduct price1
Create CustomerCustomer1
Create ProductProduct object1
Update QuantityProduct quantity1
Customer addressCustomer address2

Every one of these inserts the active setting as 0, so an imported process is inactive until an operator activates it.

3. The views

“Change detection” names which of the three kinds dlake-crmpro defines the view’s own filter makes it; where a view’s shape is not one of those three the column is left empty and the view’s own filter is the authority.

ViewChange detectionSource tables

new customer feedinsert onlycustomers
new product feedinsert onlyitem currencies, item quantities, items
product quantity update feed—item quantities, items, Shopify product variants (mirrored), Shopify inventory levels (mirrored)
new customer address feedinsert onlycustomers

4. Order of work

The templates set run sequence to 1, 2. A run processes active rows in ascending run sequence, which is the order the templates put them in:

  • 1 — Update Price, Create Customer, Create Product, Update Quantity
  • 2 — Customer address

Several of these rows share a run sequence value: each template group carries its own numbering, so give the imported processes an order across the whole set rather than taking the template values as one.

These views read another process’s sync output, which is what makes the order a dependency order: the row appears in the view only once the process that writes that sync output has run, so a parent flows on one run and its children on the next.

  • new customer address feed reads new customer sync output

5. Field mapping

Each template carries its intended mapping in field mapping.

The detail of this section is part of the operational skill. Whitelisted customers fetch it with dlake admin get_skill dlake-crmpro-shopify/erps/microsoft-dynamics-gp-2013.

7. Where this sits

dlake-crmpro is the general operating surface — the CRMPro tools, the setup and transaction tables, field mapping, and the source view contract that applies to every destination. This page adds what the shipped Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 → Shopify templates set up. dlake-crmpro-shopify is the destination skill this page sits under: its own text is the authority for the Shopify conventions that hold across every ERP, and its ERP table lists this page alongside every sibling ERP page for this destination. For the extract leg that fills the source data, see dlake-normalsync; for the on-premises agent that runs it, dlake-syncagent; for the writeback leg, dlake-txdownloaderpro; for standing an integration up, dlake-integration-setup.
