POS Interface - Inbound: Master Data Processing (Store) 

Use

This business process allows you to use the point of sale (POS) interface to process all the master data changes that have been made in the POS systems in your stores.

Changes made to master data in POS systems are not usually updated automatically in the master data central system. Reasons for this may be to ensure consistent master data, or to ensure that master data can only be changed in the head office. Changes made in the store are therefore sent via workflow to the employee responsible at head office.

Examples of a master data change are:

This relates to a change in the standard sales price. However, this change is of an informative nature. Thus, there is also no link to sales price revaluation.

If you wish to process a sales price change relevant to valuation, inbound processing must take place via Processing Revaluations at Retail.

Process Flow

  1. Master data is changed outside SAP Retail in a POS system or in a distributed retailing system (DRS).
  2. The data is made available at POS interface - inbound in the central system (SAP Retail).
  3. The relevant employees are informed via workflow.

Notes and Remarks

For information on master data processing (store), please see the inbound information in the POS interface section of the Implementation Guide (IMG).
