Adding a multi-facility setup in enterprise level

When Infor YMS is connected to a warehouse management system (WMS) or an enterprise resource planning system (ERP), Infor YMS is the system of record and the owner of the equipment. In this case, Infor YMS must publish a Sync when generating a TransporationStatus BOD.

If another application such as a transportation management system (TMS) is included into the connection, then the system of record is the TMS application and the TMS application would then publish a Sync when a generating a TransporationStatus BOD. In this situation, Infor YMS publishes a Process when generating a TransportationStatus BOD and consumes and subscribes to the Sync TransportationStatus BODs.

This task provides you with the ability to specify how the TransportationStatus BOD is generated and consumed in Infor YMS.
