Startup Phase
Companies <---> Customers
Vendors
Typically, an organization will implement Corecon either before or at the same time as SAP Business One. Given this scenario, the CoreconLink application would be used immediately to copy customers and vendors to either system.

However, after the implementation phase is complete, the estimating staff will pursue project leads and generate estimates in Corecon. If a lead has been awarded, the new customer and those vendors that have supplied the most competitive pricing are transferred to SAP Business One if they are not already present.

Employees <---> Employees Like Business Partners, Employees are typically copied in the implementation phase from Corecon to SAP Business One or vice versa.

Tax Codes Linked
<----
Tax Codes Depending on the country, Tax Codes can represent sales tax, GST, PST, HST or VAT codes and are referenced on financial transactions such as those shown below. Tax Codes should be identical in both systems along with the rates. Having these codes linked will alleviate the accounting administrator of having to specify the correct code when sending transactions over to SAP Business One.

Note: If Tax Codes are already setup in SAP Business One, one can import these codes into Corecon.
Project Setup Phase
Projects ----> Jobs If a Project in Corecon has been awarded, management or accounting staff would then setup the Project Directory, Job Cost Codes, Prime Contract and budgets. With exception for the Project Directory, Corecon includes wizards that can automatically setup this information from a Corecon estimate or spreadsheet. Once this is complete, the CoreconLink would then be used to create the Job in SAP Business One.
Job Cost Codes Linked Items
Chart of Accounts
Classes
All financial transactions in SAP Business One (i.e. AP Invoices and AR Invoices) require either an Item or Chart of Account reference for the line items. Since project financial transactions will be entered in Corecon and then transferred to SAP Business One, the CoreconLink has a feature to create relationships between Corecon's Job Cost Codes and SAP's Items and Chart of Accounts. Similar to linked Tax Codes, this will alleviate the accounting administrator of having to specify the correct item or account when exporting transactions.

Project Transactions: Accounts Payable
Bills * ---> AP Invoices Vendor Bills that originated from a PO must be entered in Corecon first and then sent to SAP Business One. Typically, these type of transactions are for materials or simple services.

Sub Invoices * ----> AP Invoices Sub Invoices derive from Subcontracts and the invoice process in Corecon changes based on the contract type: fixed lump sum, cost plus or unit price. In addition, Sub Invoices can include retainage (i.e. holdbacks). Like Bills, Sub Invoices are entered in Corecon and then exported to SAP Business One.

Project Transactions: Accounts Receivable
Prime Invoices * ----> AR Invoices Prime Invoices are entered in Corecon and then exported to SAP Business One. Like Sub Invoices, the billing method for these transactions are based on the contract type and can include retainage.

* If the transaction has a negative total, it will then appear as a credit in SAP Business One.
