Default Replication Category Descriptions
The default replication categories included in the system are listed and briefly described below. These standard categories have been tested to ensure that they include all the necessary database tables, stored procedures, and/or XML documents required to replicate the information used in the specified system function (A/P, G/L, etc.). The categories can be included as-is in your replication rules.
Some tables exist in multiple categories; however, if you replicate these multiple categories to a site, only one set of table records is sent to the site.
More information about when to use each category is included in the Multi-Site Planning Guide.
