Definition

An interface to maintain point-of-sale transactions.

Business Context and Use

A Point-of-Sale Transaction can be a type of Retail Transaction, Cash Transaction or Summary Transaction.

This web-service is used to maintain Point Of Sale Retail Sales Transactions, Cash Transactions and Sales Summary Transactions from an External System.

The Point Of Sale Interface contains an operation which is used to maintain the Point Of Sale Transaction bundle. SAP ByD supports two web-service protocols:

reliable messaging and plain soap.
Our recommendation is to use reliable messaging.

Prerequisites

Techinical Prerequisties

The web service must be activate it within a communication arrangement maintained for the Point-Of-Sale Transaction Integration.

If the Point-Of-Sale is not visible, you must activated during the definition of the project scope.This is a part of Business Configuration(BC) of SAP Business ByDesign.If no entry can be seen there, activate the SAP Store add-on solution for the Point Of Sale Transactions.

Constraints and Integrity Conditions

General Rules for Using This Web Service

An error can occur when the web service is used with invalid data. This can result in inconsistent point-of-sale transactions and are visible while monitoring the UI, it cannot be released due to their inconsistent status. However there are three exceptions to this behaviour

Missing or invalid company ID on the element PointOfSaleTransactionBundleNotification (the corresponding master data does not exist).
Missing or invalid point-of-sale transaction type code on the message element PointOfSaleTransactionBundleNotification.
Missing or invalid SenderParty-InternalID on the element MessageHeader. This must be a valid Communication System ID.

To avoid a heavy workload, we highly recommend that all input to a productive system should contain valid data only.

In order to create an instance of Point-Of-Sale Transaction from external system you should specify:

In message header SenderParty-Internal ID must be provided with a valid CommunicationSystemID (master data exists) else the message will not be accepted by ByDesign

 
<SenderParty>
    <InternalID schemeID="CommunicationSystemID" schemeAgencyID="310">TICKETSALE_001</InternalID>
</SenderParty>

Sending process component (fixed values: business scope type code 3, ID 301):

<BusinessScope>
    <TypeCode>3</TypeCode>
    <ID>301</ID>
</BusinessScope>

Receiving Process Component (Fixed values: business scope type code 2,ID:300)

<BusinessScope>
    <TypeCode>2</TypeCode>
    <ID>300</ID>
</BusinessScope>

Example

Sales item does not contain the (optional) reference to a project task. The cash item has only filled the cash storage ID and the amount. There is no buyer or payer information available.

Summary Transaction
This Summary Transaction uses the ValidationTransactionBatchID "July2012". All Sales Transactions which use this as their BatchID are validated. A total of 20 sales transactions are expected in this batch, as defined in attribute TransactionNumberValue. The sum of their net amounts is expected to be 2000,00 EUR, of the gross amounts 2380,00 EUR and of the tax amounts 380,00 EUR. If the system collects more than or less than 20 sales transactions belonging to this batch, or if the amounts don’t sum up as expected, the summary transaction will be marked as a deviation.

Example with discounts

For sales transactions it is possible to explicitly denote discounts given to customers.

For this purpose a dedicated element of the sales item must be used as illustrated in the following example.

The example below depicts a scenario in which a discount of 20 Euro has been granted on the net amount. So an item has been sold for 95.20 EUR incl. tax (80 EUR without tax) instead of 119 EUR inclusive of tax (100 EUR without tax). To notify ByDesign about the discount the message element, RetailTransactionSalesItemPricing has to be used. The message needs to comprise of two instances of this element, one denoting the list price without taxes (PurposeCode = 1000, CategoryCode = 1) and one denoting the discount amount without taxes (PurposeCode = 1010, CategoryCode = 2).

Gift Certificate Payment Examples

Gift certificates entitle the recipient to receive tickets or other kind of articles of a defined value. They can be sold to customers and are cashed in at a later point in time, typically by a person other than the original buyer. From the seller’s perspective, issued gift certificates build up payables that are then reduced when the gift certificate is cashed in.

The first example depicts the sale of a gift certificate with a value of 40 EUR.
