Import of already posted sales orders (Web Service API)

Greetings,
 
we are currently working on integration of the BC with third party external system used by commercial travelers. Once sale is made, sales order will be posted in that external system and then sent to BC trough API. All of the necessary data (items, variants, sale prices, customers etc.) will be sent to external system from BC also by API on daily basis so that sales orders can be created and posted. Once sales order is imported in the BC, it will be manually posted in BC as well.
 
Question is, how can we make sure that all price amount values are exactly the same in BC and they are in external system (to avoid any possible differences)? There is always a risk that some values will not fully match between the systems for any kind of reasons (different rounding methods, possible changes to sales prices in Business Central etc.). I'm asking this because validation of the different fields during the sales order import in BC will override price values on order.
 
Has anyone had any experience with these kinds of integrations?
 
Thank you.

    Hi, according to my experience, if there are two different systems, there is no way to make them completely consistent, and only one side shall prevail. As you mentioned, this may be due to different rounding methods, decimal point, or foreign currency exchange rate calculations and adjustments. Even if the values are exactly the same, there may be differences during the posting process.
    You may consider adjusting these differences periodically.
     
     
    Hopefully other experts can give you better advice.
    Thanks.
