Accurate and Reliable Retail Data: SAP Omnichannel Sales Transfer and Audit
- For instance, when dealing with such a large and diversified set of data, processing errors are inescapable, and they might result in inaccurate updates and ineffective decision-making. Mislabeling or cashier errors might result in incorrect inventory levels. Inaccurate inventory levels result in classic “out of stock” problems when sales are not recorded.
- Second, and this may sound antique, but sales transaction duplication is a big source of erroneous records. It is common for POS systems to simply resend data that has been dropped in the middle of the transfer process, resulting in the described dilemma.
- The third key difficulty is that the amount of data acquired is typically not stored consistently in one spot and hence is ineffective. Many retailers aggregate their data, resulting in the loss of useful information. Granular data is frequently available for only a few months at a time.
- Fourth: Traditional POS terminals with POS sales auditing are still in use today, but new business models that demand similar functionality are emerging. The data created by Scan & Go programs, as well as cashierless checkout apps, must be communicated to backend systems such as SAP S/4HANA, in order for the transactions to be completed. To guarantee that the correct inventory and financial records for a location are updated, these transactions should not be treated as “conventional” orders but rather as POS transactions.

We have a long history of success, extending back to the release of SAP POS Data Management, SAP Customer Activity Repository, and now SAP Omnichannel Sales Transfer and Audit.
