Create a Dataset

To create a new dataset, do the following:

Open IC Suite Master Data Dataset.
Select New to create a new dataset.
Enter a name for the dataset.
In Originating Company, select the company you want to send data from.
In Table ID, select the type of record you want to synchronize.
1. Vendor
2. Customer
3. Item
4. Salesperson/Purchaser
5. G/L Accounts
6. Dimensions and Dimension Values
Select Field Options to select the fields from the record of the dataset.
Select Partners > Add Partners to add the partners as the destination companies.
Under Table Fields, specify the fields you want to include in the synchronization process.

The following field boxes are available:

Field	Description

Delete Records	Specify whether on synchronization, records should be deleted in the destination companies if they are not present in the originating companies.
Auto Synchronization	Specify whether this dataset will be automatically synchronized to the selected partners, whenever there is a change. Example: A user has defined Dataset A for Vendor master data with Auto Synchronization enabled. Dataset A has "Name" field added for synchronization, and has Partner 01 and Partner 02 linked to it. Partner 01 has Auto Synchronization marked, but for Partner 02 it is not marked. When the user goes to the Vendor card, makes a change to the "Name" field and when closes the Vendor card: Auto Synchronization will run using Dataset A for Partner 01 and it will synchronize the "Name" field change.
