• Key Concepts: 
  Synchronization type is a feature of ICM Incentive and Commission Management (ICM) that allows users to synchronize data between different systems. It enables users to keep their data up-to-date and consistent across multiple systems. This helps to ensure that all systems are working with the same information, which can help to reduce errors and improve accuracy.
  
  How to use it: 
  Synchronization type can be used in ICM Incentive and Commission Management (ICM) by setting up a synchronization job. This job will run at a specified frequency and will compare the data in the different systems to ensure that they are in sync. If any discrepancies are found, the job will update the data in the other systems to match the source system.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a synchronization job, it is important to consider the frequency of the job. If the job runs too often, it can cause performance issues, while if it runs too infrequently, it may not be able to keep up with changes in the data. It is also important to consider which data needs to be synchronized and which systems need to be kept in sync.
  
  Related Information: 
  Synchronization type is related to other features of ICM Incentive and Commission Management (ICM), such as data replication and data integration. Data replication allows users to replicate data from one system to another, while data integration allows users to combine data from multiple systems into one unified view.
