Site-to-Site Transfers

You use this component to pass information among suppliers, manufacturers, contract manufacturers, virtual manufacturers, logistics providers, wholesale distributors, retailers, and customers.

You can transfer SFC numbers or product-related information from one site to another.

Your source and destination sites can be in either the same database or two different ones.

Note Note

You must create the representative site records when the source and destination sites are not in the same database, even if the sites are at the same physical location.

End of the note.

Implementation Considerations

When you transfer SFC numbers, you must decide:

Which sites you will transfer SFC numbers from and which sites will receive those SFC numbers
At what level the transfer will be defined
Whether the SFC numbers you transfer will be ready for consumption or will need further processing (span production)
Whether the transferred SFC numbers are received automatically or manually at the destination site

When you transfer product-related information, you must decide:

Which sites you will transfer information from and to
What data you want to include during a transfer

Features

Site-to-site transfer uses both Xchange and the Outbound Collaboration Framework to transfer data between sites.

You can transfer the following:

SFC numbers that have reached the last step on the routing and have the Done status at the source site (see SFC Number Transfer)
Product-related information (see Product-Related Information Transfer)
