Bulk synchronization of outbound events

The bulk synchronization feature allows Business Central to synchronize multiple records such as vendors, order addresses (supplier sites), currencies, and payment terms with target products in a single operation. This helps ensure that all master data is consistent between systems without manually updating each record.

Steps to perform bulk synchronization

The following steps are involved in bulk synchronization:

Initiate bulk synchronization
A bulk sync event is triggered in Business Central to start the process.

Upload Data
The system generates a file containing the data to be synced and uploads it to the integration platform (AIP).

Transform Data
A transformation process formats the uploaded file so that it can be correctly processed by the related product.

File Status Updates
The system tracks the progress of file generation, upload, transformation, and processing, providing status updates throughout the process.

Export to associated product
Once the file is transformed, it is exported to the associated product. The data is then available for the related product to download and process.

Supported records

• Vendors
• Order Addresses
• Currencies
• Payment Terms

This ensures that all these records in Business Central are reflected in the related product accurately, reducing manual effort and preventing inconsistencies.

Outbound events

The following outbound events support both real-time updates and bulk synchronization:

Vendor events

Business Central sends vendor information to the target product through the vendor-createdormodified-v1 outbound event.
The target product consumes this data through its vendor-created-v1 event.

Business Central includes the Currency Code and Payment Terms Code field values in this event.

Currency events

Business Central sends following events when currency records are created, modified, or deleted.

• currency-createdormodified-v1
• currency-deleted-v1

Payment terms events

Business Central sends following events when payment terms records are created, modified, or deleted.

• paymentterms-createdormodified-v1
• paymentterms-deleted-v1

Order address events

Business Central sends the following events when order addresses are created, modified, or deleted.

• orderaddress-createdormodified-v1
• orderaddress-deleted-v1

However, the target product does not yet have corresponding inbound events to process currency, payment terms, and order address data.
