Resolving Conflicts

Use

You can maintain the calendar in the SAP system or in Microsoft Outlook. The calendars are compared with one another during synchronization and are both updated. Conflicts arise if an appointment has been changed in the SAP calendar and in Microsoft Outlook since the last synchronization took place. You can specify how these conflicts are to be resolved. You can also specify whether, and in which cases, you want to receive a query before an appointment is synchronized.
