Great blog post! Thanks for sharing.
Can OSDTA work as a stand-alone application without needing to have SAP CAR ? or Would this eventually replace POSDTA ?
SAP Omnichannel Sales Transfer and Audit is a cloud-native stand-alone application.
Do we really need SAP CAR ?
CAR and SAP Omnichannel Sales Transfer and Audit (OSTA) are two separate solutions. OSTA offers the sales auditing and data transfer functionality. CAR offers many other product capabilities so it depends on the customer requirements. OSTA is an Industry Cloud solution and not dependent on CAR.
Thanks for your reply Karen , so its now clear that OSTA is not dependent on CAR . Need one more info which modules which are available in SAP CAR and not available in OSTA ? This insight will be helpful to understand more if we can really need OSTA or still go with SAP CAR . Also , is OSTA a subscription based and not on primise ?
OSTA provides the sales transfer and sales audit functions. Similar , but not identical, to POSDT from CAR. OSTA is a cloud solution that is subscription based. If the customer needs any features more than what I described they would need CAR, or if they are not read to move to Industry Cloud solutions they would also need CAR.
Thanks Karen
I see the system landscape of OSTA , not sure why it is interfaced to SAP CAR . Can you provide us some insights . Also , what capabilities I can see in OSTA (is there any list which we can refer )- is that only AUDIT , ENRICH and send transactional data to S4 (using WPUTAB ; WPUUMS ; WPUBON ; WPUFIB ? And can we customize custom tasks ?
