EDI Integration
From TrueERP wiki
Overview
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
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 the only the required data is Pulled back eg POS / Sales Transactions
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)
