Objective

To manually synchronize the data in Sage 300 CRE® with Procore. 

Background

To keep the data in your Sage 300 CRE® and Procore systems synchronized, you can perform an on-demand sync. An on-demand sync is a manual process that ensures the data in your company's Sage 300 CRE® database remains concurrent with your company's data in Procore. 
To perform an on-demand sync, the Sage 300 CRE® Connector requires your company to have an active account with the hh2 cloud service (www.hh2.com). In addition, an hh2 syncrhonization client must be installed on your Sage 300 CRE® server. Both of these steps are completed during the setup process and with the help of your Procore point of contact. See Sage 300 CRE®: Setup Guide.

After the systems are configured, users with the appropriate permissions can perform an on-demand sync by completing two steps:

It is important to note that when you add data to Sage 300 CRE®, Procore can only retrieve that data from the hh2 cloud service. That means, it is imperative that you always ensure that the data in Sage 300 CRE® server is synced with the data in hh2 before you attempt to refresh/sync your hh2 data to Procore.  Sage 300 CRE®is configure to auto-sync with hh2. However, if you do not want to wait for the  auto-sync to occur, you have the ability to manually perform an auto-sync using the steps described below (see Step 1: Sync Your Sage 300 Data with hh2). Once that step is complete, you can proceed with Step 2: Refresh/Sync Your hh2 Data with Procore.
