If you're consulting Great Plains Dynamics customers, you probably remember old good days when eCommerce solution could possibly be built on eOrder module platform. eOrder was written in Interdev as ASP application, and therefore could possibly be modified deirectly in its ASP pages. This customization did the task until new version upgrade, when included in the upgrade you had to reapply your custom changes to eOrder Asp pages as new version update simply was wiping out old version eOrder pages and placing new version pages on the top. Order Management module is basically successor of eOrder, however it's now hosted in MS Sharepoint and it's element of Microsoft Dynamics GP Business Portal modules family.

This excurse may appear not really informative, but you may expect eConnect and so, Business portal installation problems, if you may not have the theory about eConnect architecture
