POS Interface with SAP

Hi,

We are currently using SAP ECC6.0, not on IS Retail.

As we have quite a few POS machines being used in the business, we would like to interface POS with ECC6.0.

Is there any third party tools available in the market for achieving this solution?

Thanks

Ram.

Hi Ram

SAP offers regarding POS integration to IS Retail basically two options:

- POS DM (see http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=113246846)

- classic POS interface direct in ECC (WPUBON/WPUFIB/WPUTAB IDoc's for POS transactions)

You want to interface directly in to a non IS Retail ECC system.

Question is what do you want to interface only financial postings or also goodsmovements?

How are the stores represented in SAP (customers/plants?)

The transaction logs (TLOG) info from the POS should be converted to a IDoc that will represent you functional needs on the ECC side.

For this mapping SAP offers SAP PO (proces orch), formally know as PI (or before that XI).

There are also several middleware solutions from third party vendors that can work with SAP.

In such a tool you have to map the TLOG to the desired IDoc you want to use in SAP.

(IDoc could also e replaced with a BAPI/RFC for instance).

Regards

Bob
