If master data is changed in the POS system, the changes cannot simply be transferred to the central master data in the R/3 System, as the head office alone is responsible for maintaining 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, since only the head office has the authority to make changes of this kind. Instead a work item is created in the R/3 System that is then passed on to a group of employees in whose area of responsibility the task lies. 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.
