I have an SSIS package with VB .net code in it to import purchasing receipts in GP2016. Package runs fine.
I am now been assigned to create one for creating new items in INVENTORY. While i was dabbling with documentation and other resources, I found the encrypted stored procedures for eConnect. Rather than writing .net code, I realized I could just make calls to eConnect SP taUpdateCreateItemRcd and create the items by passing the required parameters to this stored procedure.
Questions are:
1) Am I correct in assuming this process to create items?
2) How is the result different calling SP directly rather than creating XML and passing it to the .net Classes?
3) Could I have used the appropriate SP for importing the purchasing receipts also?
