Data rules must be defined to load from an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to an EPM application, synchronize data between two EPM applications, or write back from an EPM to an ERP system.

EPM Applications to Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Applications (write-back)—Moves data from EPM Applications to ERP applications, for example, writing back budgets created in Planning to Peoplesoft or E-Business Suite ERP GL, or moving Adjustment Journals from Financial Management or the Accounts Reconciliation Manager to ERP Systems like E-Business Suite or Peoplesoft.
