SynchManager Business Object Synch Directions

Question

Is there a list of all of the business objects synching in SynchManager and which direction they go? For example, Orders are synched both ways, while Items are only synched from SAP to Web Tools.

Answer 1

Webtools does not manage inventory.  It simply reflects inventory changes that have been recorded in B1. Placing an order on the web does not reduce inventory, creating a shipment in B1 reduces inventory.
Item groups used to synch both ways to a WT catalog.  This behavior has been eliminated because catalogs and item groups are not functionally identical and synchronization can have unintended consequences.  Now the item groups will synch only when the synch is initialized as a convenience to help in setting up categories.
Item groups synch to an unedittable catalog called B1ItemGroups which is not visible in the UI, but is used to set true item group values like Item Group on an item and create item group service contracts.   There is no attempt to create a UI for item groups because WT does not implement any of the item group functionality from B1.
As for pricelists, the DI API does not expose this functionality and it has generally been deemed to risky to do direct manipulation of tables that are the center of critical and complex business logic.
