Writeback

Writeback allows you to transfer data from an IFS Business Analytics report and update IFS Applications. If Writeback is supported for an information source it will be defined in the information source definition. The same report can be used to analyze as well as to write back information. It is possible to compare new values with existing database values before writing back new values to IFS Applications.
