Item Master Data Replication in Intercompany Solution

Item Master Data Replication in Intercompany Solution

This feature enables you to replicate item master data across branch companies.

To synchronize item master data, you must set the item as a Global Item on the Item Master Data window of SAP Business One. 

To open the Item Master data window, from the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose Inventory → Item Master data

The following field has been added to the window and is relevant to the Intercompany Integration Solution. For details of other fields on the Item Master Data window, refer to the SAP Business One Online Help.

Field

Description

Global Item

Select this checkbox to replicate the item master data to all branch companies for use in interbranch transactions. 

Once an item is set as Global Item, the selection cannot be reversed (you cannot deselect the checkbox).


You can set all Items as Global Item in one go in the Set item to Global Item window. To access this window choose Administration → Intercompany Implementation wizard → Set Item to Global Item. 

You can also set the system to automatically mark an item as a global item when the item is added. In the SAP Business One Main Menu, choose Administration → Setup → Intercompany → General Settings.

Note
When adding or updating global items which have been assigned a distribution template code, the global items are replicated to the branch companies defined in the data distribution templates.
If no distribution template code is assigned, this indicates that the global item master is replicating to all branch companies.
