If master data is changed in the POS system, the changes cannot simply be transferred to the central master data in R/3, as only the head office is responsible for maintaining master data. Master data changes of this kind are sent to the employees responsible in the form of worklists.

The changes are uploaded from the POS system and displayed in the R/3 system. They are not transferred to the database automatically, as only the head office has the authority to make changes of this kind. Instead a work item is created in R/3 that is then sent to the employee or group of employees responsible. (The work item message sent by the system contains the current master data and the change suggested as a result of the upload. However, you must then enter the data manually in the R/3 system).
