In integrated environments, this transaction publishes item data changes that are directed to an external system.
When item changes occur in Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation, they need to be communicated to the external system.
The business process may require the synchronization of items all at once in a batch. For example, at the end of each business day, the sendItemChanges agent can be configured to synchronize items based on the synchronization logic. This transaction retrieves all items that are not logical kit or dynamic physical kit items and whose SyncTS is null or MaxModifyTS is greater than the SyncTS.
The MaxModifyTS of an item is updated with the current timestamp whenever an item is modified. The transaction then retrieves detailed information about those items and raises the ON_SUCCESS event. This event should be configured to invoke the Send Item Changes action.
For more information about how this integration is implemented, see the Configuring integrations with other systems.
