Data integration can be enabled to exchange transactions between Calem and a third party application. For instance, an ERP integration is done for the following transactions. We will use the ERP as an example to discuss ways to pause integration and perform data maintenance in Calem.
| Integration Direction | Transaction |
| Calem to ERP | Inventory Stock Transactions |
| Calem to ERP | Requisition Approval Transaction |
| Calem to ERP | Inventory Edit Transaction |
| ERP to Calem | Purchase Order Creation Transaction |
| ERP to Calem | Vendor Creation Transaction |

If a maintenance window is required to perform inventory transactions without sending to ERP. Use the following steps to achieve it.

- Edit the inventory transaction object, uncheck the "Active" flag and save the change.
- When you are done with the maintenance, edit the record, check the "Active" flag and save the change.
