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.
