Data Synchronization

You can create and modify data synchronization parameters for an integrated ERP system:

• Search for a Data Synchronization Item
• Edit a Data Synchronization Item
• Create a New Data Synchronization Item

The Procurement application stores some of the ERP data locally. This data includes:

• Accounting information used in creating shopping carts, and
• Unit of Measurement (UOM) information used to map from the application's UOM codes to the UOM Codes of the selected ERP application.

The Integration Administration application allows you to setup the Data Synchronization elements such as Cost Centers, Vendors, UOM, Company Code, and so on, and group them according to Buying Organizations.

A single Data Synchronization Item may be associated with one or more Buying Organization.
