Considerations: Sharing data between sites

Generally, the data that needs to be shared falls into one of the default replication categories - for example, Centralized Order Entry, G/L, or Inventory/Transfers. The default categories are described in the Background Information. These standard categories have been tested to ensure that they include all the necessary database tables, methods/stored procedures, and/or XML documents that must be included when replicating data for these areas of SyteLine.

When you set up a multi-site system, you usually start by replicating the default categories between the sites where you think the information is required.

After your system is running, you might need to revise the rules, and possibly customize the categories, to achieve optimal performance based on your specific system’s needs.

List the categories of data that need to be shared through replication, and the sites that need to share that type of data.

Does the data need to be shared in both directions?
