Publishing BODs

The sequence of the BODs that are published from your ERP differ across functional area but the general order is important, especially where General Ledger balances are involved.

When adding an additional function in LSP, the BODs that have already been published and operational must be accounted for when using our recommendations. In this case, only new BODs should be taken into consideration.

Note: Ensure that you only set up BODs that your ERP supports in LSP. Setting up more than the required increases BOD traffic in your tenant, leading to a significant decrease in the performance of ION and LSP.

Note: See the ERP Integration Guide. for the supported BODs.

The first BOD to be published must always be the Accounting Entity, since this is the BOD that will automatically create the subscriber and subscription, if not being created manually.

Afterwards, the Financial Calendar, the Accounting Chart and Chart of Accounts should be published if they are required in the functionality you are implementing. This then gives you base data. Subsequently, you should ensure that all the Master data is published in an initial data load. This can be done in any order.

If your function requires historical transactional data such as invoices, then these must be published in an initial data load also or you may encounter validation errors, which prompts you to publish them.

After all the initial loads have been completed, then you can start to trigger the transactional data on an as needed basis.

Note: The initial data load may take some time, depending on data volumes.

See BOD usage in LSP for the consolidated BOD list.
