A USEFUL BOUNDARY
Everything does not need to move at once.
Keep financial posting and consolidation in your ERP. Evaluate Helix for the operational records and review decisions that precede them. Specify shared identifiers, posting boundaries, and reconciliation responsibilities; a connection is an implementation scope, not an assumed ready-made connector.
