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.
