Keep configuration, quotes and orders moving accurately.
Bi-directional sync is not copying everything twice. It defines which objects move, who initiates them, who has final write authority and how failures are found and handled.

Start with your integration needs.
Identify the problems to solve around your existing pages, product information and workflows.
Sync scope keeps expanding
Without an object inventory, projects easily pull unnecessary data and systems into scope.
Failures are found manually
After event loss, field conflict or duplicate writes, there is no clear handling path.
State cannot be traced
The same order shows different states across systems, and teams cannot quickly locate the failing step.
Prepare the essentials for this connection.
Confirm standard publishing and additional business integration separately. Availability follows development, testing and project acceptance.
List synced objects first
Assess the need to sync product, configuration, quote, order, BOM, inventory and status one by one.
Define direction and trigger
Clarify when data is pushed or read, who initiates it and who has final write authority.
Handle duplicates and conflicts
Set rules for duplicate events, retries, manual intervention and version changes in advance.
Create an audit view
Retain status, time, correlation reference and error information that explain sync outcomes.
Start with a concrete use case.
These examples show how products and workflows connect, helping you choose the right entry.
Product-change release
After product, option or rule changes, define which systems need notification and validation.
Quote and order handoff
Move an approved configuration summary with the necessary context into sales and fulfilment.
Event tracing and investigation
When a discrepancy appears, use correlation references and status records to locate the responsible point quickly.
Move from setup to integration in four steps.
Prepare source material, confirm content, validate the entry and deliver the agreed scope.
- 01
Choose the first sync objects
Prioritize the objects that close the most important business loop and keep phase-one scope controlled.
- 02
Confirm fields and ownership
For each object, define source, target, trigger event and conflict-handling principle.
- 03
Validate exception handling
Use duplicate, failure, timeout and field-change scenarios to validate handling.
- 04
Hand over monitoring and iteration
Ensure business and technical teams can see status and extend scope through a controlled change process.
Common questions
Understand the preparation and usage boundaries before you begin.
Can we sync only selected fields?
Yes, and it is usually best to start with the essential objects and fields. Selection is based on business closure, ownership and the receiving system’s actual need.
What happens if sync fails?
Failure state, visibility, retry and manual-handling entry points must be defined up front. Exact mechanics are confirmed by system capability and project risk requirements.
How do we trace a particular order?
Use shared or correlated references, event time and state records to trace the relationship among configuration, quote, order and downstream actions.
What does “real time” mean here?
Timeliness differs by object. The project should make trigger conditions, acceptable delay, retry and manual compensation explicit and testable.
