Importing the ERP to LSP document flow

    A list of existing document flows is displayed.
  2. Click Import and browse for the document flow to be imported.
  3. Open the newly imported document flow.
  4. In the document flow, select the ERP application connection point.
  5. Under Application Activity Properties, click Add.
  6. Select your ERP application connection point and click OK.
  7. Specify the selected ERP connection point to add BODs used in the document flow.
  8. In the document flow, select the LSP application connection point.
  9. Under Application Activity Properties, click Add.
  10. Select your LSP application connection point and click OK.
  11. Specify the selected LSP connection point to add BODs used in the document flow.
  12. Return to the document flow.
  13. Click the document icon between the two connection points
  14. Click plus sign (+) under Documents.
  15. Select ALL DOCUMENTS and click OK.
  16. Add the Filter by dragging Filter icon between the two connection points.
  17. Go to Attributes tab under Filter properties and click add (+).
  18. Expand the BOD that needs filtering and click on the AccountingEntityID.
    Note: These are the transactional BODs that needs to be filtered:
    • Sync.AssetTransaction
    • Sync.InventoryAdjustment
    • Sync.InventoryCount
    • Sync.InventoryHold
    • Sync.Invoice
    • Sync.PayableTracker
    • Sync.PayableTransaction
    • Sync.ReceivableTracker
    • Sync.ReceivableTransaction
    • Sync.ReceiveDelivery
    • Sync.SourceSystemGLMovement
    • Sync.SourceSystemJournalEntry
    • Sync.SupplierInvoice
    • Sync.Shipment

    You can filter the Master BODs if you know that they are published from your ERP with an Accounting Entity and that they are part of the service you are setting up.

    You can select multiple entries by holding down the Ctrl button and selecting the entries.

    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: The Source System GL Movement and Source System Journal Entry BODs can create high volumes of data. We recommend you consider BOD prioritization to ensure that these do not prevent other more important BODs from processing.
