The integration of the Merchandising applications and the Xstore Suite consists of two major data flows:
Foundation and price data from Oracle Retail Merchandising System (RMS) and Oracle Retail Price Management (RPM) to Oracle Retail Xcenter and Xstore Office
Point of Service transactions from Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service to Oracle Retail Sales Audit (ReSA)
In combination, these data flows represent the round trip of data between the stores and headquarters. New items, other foundation data, and prices from headquarters are communicated to Xstore. Sales and returns from Xstore are communicated to Merchandising, where these transactions impact inventory. Merchandising further integrates summarized sales and inventory information from Xstore to other Oracle Retail applications, such as Planning and Analytics.
The details of the integration are covered in the remaining sections of this guide:
