Create corresponding Manager Panel userA new user corresponding to the user created in Dynamics CRM should be created in the Manager Panel. This user would act as the super administrator and all roles are assigned to him. This gives him access to all menus and operations in the Manager Panel. Map this user with Dynamics CRM via the ‘CRM Sales Rep Id’ field.

Accounts/contacts are integrated real time from Dynamics CRM to Manager Panel and vice versa. The default password as setup during connection configuration is assigned to account or a contact while integrating to Dynamics CRM. To ensure password security, CSR’s can always turn on the ‘force password change’ feature in Manager Panel. As CRM contacts do not have a customer id field that can be mapped to the Manager Panel directly during integrations, fields such as ‘home phone’ is instead used for the purpose. The mapping for the same, can be done while configuring the Manager Panel gateway URL in Dynamics CRM. Either ‘account’ or a ‘contact’ can be configured to map with Manager Panel customers. The default installation has the ‘account’ entity selected, but there is an option to change it to ‘contact’ if the business demands it.

In similar way, address update/addition on web store is reflected real time in Dynamics CRM.

For non CC orders, the Manager Panel offers a feature to capture payments after an invoice has been raised, and these can be captured via credit card or by offline mechanisms such as check..

Catalogs integrate real-time from Dynamics CRM into the Manager Panel. As Dynamics CRM does not support categorization and HTML templates a default category and default template has been set in the catalog mapping XML file for this purpose. Additional product details such as product images, meta attributes, product descriptions etc. that are not supported by Dynamics CRM can be added by providing these values in CSV file and importing it to Manager Panel using catalog import.
Custom fields in Dynamics CRMTo create a Product and SKU a new custom field, ‘Parent Product’, has been created in Microsoft Dynamics CRM which provides the ability to select a parent product under which an item should be added. All children products are created as SKUs within a single parent product. All products that do not have a parent relationship are created both as a Product and SKU in the Manager Panel. Another custom field ‘available on web store’ allows the CRM Manager to determine whether or not the product will be displayed on the web store after successful integration.
