Keep configuration, quotes and orders moving accurately.
Bi-directional sync is not copying everything twice. It defines which objects move, who initiates them, who has final write authority and how failures are found and handled.
- Event-driven
- Field mapping
- Traceability
Source system
Master data, status or business event
ii3d events & configuration
Rule outcome, quote and activity record
Target business system
Order, BOM, inventory or next action
See the business breaks clearly first.
Not another system layer — a way to connect configuration, operations and delivery in the workflow you already run.
Sync scope keeps expanding
Without an object inventory, projects easily pull unnecessary data and systems into scope.
Failures are found manually
After event loss, field conflict or duplicate writes, there is no clear handling path.
State cannot be traced
The same order shows different states across systems, and teams cannot quickly locate the failing step.
How the route moves from input to business outcome.
Agree responsibilities and information boundaries at each stage before choosing the technical connection.

Target business system
Order, BOM, inventory or next action
Design the key connection points for handoff.
These are the capabilities to confirm during assessment and delivery; they do not replace technical validation in the project.
List synced objects first
Assess the need to sync product, configuration, quote, order, BOM, inventory and status one by one.
Define direction and trigger
Clarify when data is pushed or read, who initiates it and who has final write authority.
Handle duplicates and conflicts
Set rules for duplicate events, retries, manual intervention and version changes in advance.
Create an audit view
Retain status, time, correlation reference and error information that explain sync outcomes.
Use concrete scenarios to decide what to connect first.
These are typical delivery scenarios that use no client names or sensitive data, helping define an initial scope.
Product-change release
After product, option or rule changes, define which systems need notification and validation.
Quote and order handoff
Move an approved configuration summary with the necessary context into sales and fulfilment.
Event tracing and investigation
When a discrepancy appears, use correlation references and status records to locate the responsible point quickly.
Use four steps for a controlled integration.
Use source material, samples and a test environment to reduce rework and align business and technical teams.
- Step 01
Choose the first sync objects
Prioritize the objects that close the most important business loop and keep phase-one scope controlled.
- Step 02
Confirm fields and ownership
For each object, define source, target, trigger event and conflict-handling principle.
- Step 03
Validate exception handling
Use duplicate, failure, timeout and field-change scenarios to validate handling.
- Step 04
Hand over monitoring and iteration
Ensure business and technical teams can see status and extend scope through a controlled change process.
Common questions
Before a project begins, clarify scope, ownership and the materials to prepare.
Can we sync only selected fields?
Yes, and it is usually best to start with the essential objects and fields. Selection is based on business closure, ownership and the receiving system’s actual need.
What happens if sync fails?
Failure state, visibility, retry and manual-handling entry points must be defined up front. Exact mechanics are confirmed by system capability and project risk requirements.
How do we trace a particular order?
Use shared or correlated references, event time and state records to trace the relationship among configuration, quote, order and downstream actions.
What does “real time” mean here?
Timeliness differs by object. The project should make trigger conditions, acceptable delay, retry and manual compensation explicit and testable.
