What’s happening?
Customers are seeking guidance on how to perform an initial sync on dual write from Finance and Operations (F&O) to Customer Relationship Management (CRM) specifically for newly added entities, while excluding existing legal entities.
 
Reason:
This arises when customers want to ensure that existing legal entities are not affected during the initial sync process, as they have already gone live with multiple entities.
 
Resolution:
To resolve this of excluding existing legal entities from the initial sync, follow these steps: 1. Remove the existing legal entities from the list. 2. Perform the initial sync for the newly added entities. 3. Re-add the old legal entities to the list. 4. Ensure to select the option to skip initial writes for the added (old) legal entities so that pre-existing data is not copied.
By following these steps, customers can successfully perform the initial sync for newly added entities without impacting existing records.
