Sync Engine

SimepleLedger already has a synce egnine built in. We are going to explore it and add our Employee sync to it.

1. Polls FileMaker for records that need to be sent to QBO
2. Polls QBO for records that have changed and need to be updated in FileMaker

Key Concepts

• Bidirectional synchronization flow
• Scheduling and automation considerations
• Error handling and retry mechanisms

1. Send new records to QBO
2. Then, push FileMaker changes to QBO
3. Update sync status and prepare for the next cycle
