Global Data Distribution Template Setup of Intercompany Solution

The global data distribution template enables you to create predefined data distribution templates. The global data distribution template defines a custom recipient list (SAP Business One companies) for master data replication. The data distribution template always supersedes standard recipient lists during the replication cycle.

In the Global Data Distribution Template window, you can select the branches to which you want to replicate the following global masters:

Business partner master data
Item master data
Bill of materials
Price lists
Chart of Accounts

The global data distribution template added in a branch company replicates to other branch companies.

Note

This setup is used by the Global Data Distribution feature.

To open the Global Data Distribution Template window, choose Administration → Setup → Intercompany → Global Data Distribution.
