Enable Inter-Site Synchronization
Explanation
This activity is used to activate inter-site rental event synchronization
for sites within the same company. This is done from the
Parameters for Supply Chain and Manufacturing
page and select the required option from the list in the Rental Event
Synchronization Company field. 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 Site 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 the 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 page or automatically.
- When Both Sites 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.
