Enable Inter-Company Synchronization
Explanation
This activity is used to activate inter-company rental event synchronization
for sites in different companies. The activity requires that you select one of three options.
The first option None implies that this functionality is not activated.
The other two options mean the functionality is in active state with different
constraints.
Prerequisites
This activity has no prerequisites.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- When None is selected (default option), it means that synchronization
is not activated (i.e., the event creation happens in each site
individually).
- When Supply Company is selected, it means that synchronization is
activated (i.e., the events created manually/automatically in the supply
site gets recorded at both sites automatically). However, this does not
allow the creation of
any manual/automatic rental events from the demand site. Here, option Manage Rental will not be disabled
from the purchase order line, but an error will be triggered upon attempting
to create an event from the Mange Rental
window or automatically.
- When Both Companies is selected, it means synchronization is
activated (i.e., the events created manually/automatically in the supply site gets
recorded in the Rental Events History page
of both sites automatically) and the events created manually/automatically
in the demand site gets recorded in the Rental
Events Approval page and then recorded in the
Rental Events History page of both sites
after being approved manually by the supply site.
Note: In general, for inventory-tracked parts, the particular
purchase order should be in Received status to create rental events.
However in this case, it is not mandatory and the Reserved status of
the relevant customer order line is sufficient to allow rental events to be
created in the Rental Events History page
of the demand site.
