''Creating a connection using EDI'' 

These connections are created using the Web API, so please ensure that the "'''Web API Test'''" form is working correctly within the required TrueERP database, before attempting anything to do with the EDI integration 

*For this to work all remote IP&nbsp;Addresses '''Must be Fixed IP&nbsp;Addresses''', however the Main Server can be Dynamic. 
*'''All EDI'''&nbsp;set up is done on the '''Main Server''', nothing has to be done at a Remote Location

<br> 

<u></u><u></u>'''Two Way Synchronisation''' works on a '''Push – Pull''' basis, meaning the Main Server '''Pushes All''' data out to a remote location and then '''Pulls All''' data back from this remote location. The disadvantage of this set up is that '''All''' of the data from both Databases needs to '''Synchronise''' which is extremely slow and in most cases not required. 

'''One Way Synchronisation''' of only selected data is much faster as only relevant data is '''Pushed''' to a remote location eg Product/Inventory Data and then only the required data is '''Pulled''' back eg POS / Sales Transactions 

<br> '''Source vs Destination''' 

*When setting up Site Config for '''POS''' the '''Source''' is the Remote Location and the Destination is the Main Server '''(Pulling Data)''' 
*When setting up Site Config for '''Product''' it works in Reverse the '''Source''' is the Main Server and the Destination is the Remote Location '''(Pushing Data)'''

<br> '''Site Integration ''' 

*From the Main Menu Select '''Utilities – Preferences''' 
*Select&nbsp; '''EDI and Integration''' and Scroll down to the '''Site Integration''' header 
*'''Tick''' the '''Site Integration Enabled''' check box and the select the desired Logging Level

<br> 

'''Site Integration Config''' 

*Select the '''Add '''button to set up a new'''Integration Site Configuration'''

Fill out the '''Source''' field with the following <br> '''URL''' – URL of your Source server eg https://202.168.123.322:446<br>'''Database''' – ERP database name that changes will be read from eg sample_company <br>'''User''' – ERP user name to log into database with eg webuser<br>'''Password''' – ERP user password to log into database with eg webuser 

<br> 

Fill out the '''Destination''' field with the following 

'''URL''' – URL of your Destination server eg https://localhost:446<br>'''Database''' – ERP Database name that changes will be written to eg. sample_company<br>'''User''' – ERP user name to log into database with eg webuser<br>'''Password''' – ERP user password to log into database with eg webuser
