Symptom

Now you would like to know how to schedule a Data Flow Verification run to synchronize the Quantity between the 2 views.
Data Flow Verification (DFV) compares pairs of business documents that are related to each other in a Data Flow Verification run. Data Flow Verification is available for a defined set of business document pairs covering the different applications in SAP Business ByDesign. The business documents contain the same data, if the system is running correctly and all data has been maintained correctly in the business documents. If the data is not correct, data flow verification finds differences in the data when comparing the business documents and collects the differences in the data flow verification result and the associated Application Log.
