This chapter describes some known issues, as well as troubleshooting options for dealing with some issues.
The Oracle Retail Back Office data field Authorized for Sale is mapped to the status of an item at a store (item_loc). If the item is Active at that location, then true is extracted. Other statuses, such as Discontinued and Delete cause the value false to be extracted.
When Currency.XML is imported with Fill Type KillandFill, the Foreign Currency Exchange Rates table in the UI is empty even though the import is successful.
Point-of-Service, Back Office and Central Office must be restarted after the currency import.
If an individual batch fails but the rest of the data import completes successfully, there is no retry mechanism to import only the batch that failed.
If the integrity of the incoming data cannot be guaranteed as Data Import expects, it is possible to avoid rolling back valid data within a failed batch by adjusting the size of the import batches from the default size of 1000 to 1 by editing the spring.properties
file and restarting the application server. Note that this resolution will have a negative impact on performance.
All VARCHAR(255) sizes were changed to VARCHAR(250) to match Oracle Retail Merchandising System and Oracle Retail Price Management sizes.
This was done as of version 12.0.
In a new store situation, items currently on promotion may download to Point-of-Service with the original price on the item, not the promotion price. This occurs because the import process assigns a creation date equal to the current date, but this date is after the start date of the promotion.
The following lists identify attributes that are hardcoded in Oracle Retail Merchandising System extracts:
Item Extract
RegistryEligible = true
SizeRequired = false
SerializedItem = false
Discountable = true
DamageDiscountable = true
EmployeeDiscountAllowed = true
MinimumSaleUnitCount = 1
ItemCoupon Extract
ItemCost = 0
Taxable = false
Discountable = false
Returnable = false
EmployeeDiscountAllowed = true
CouponPrice Extract
PromoCompID = -1
PromoCompDetlID = -1
NbrTimesPerTrans = 1
AccountingMethod = Discount
AllowSourceToRepeat = false
In the Item Maintenance screen, the Item Cost attribute is set to 0.00 by default.
Extracts from Oracle Retail Merchandising System and Oracle Retail Price Management are typically scheduled to happen once per day.
When multiple regular prices are passed for an item, the last regular price passed is the regular price that is used.
Special characters in an XML file, such as <, >, & and so forth, must be escaped. For more information, see the following:

Data in the Preload section of ItemImport is treated as an UPS
which stands for Upsert. DIMP tries to Update data and if fails to update, then it Inserts data.
An Oracle Retail Price Management Price Promotion/Discount Rule imported through DIMP that has no specified end dates will default to December 31 at 11:59 PM, 19 years in the future. That is, the endDateTime is set to 12-31-(calendar year+19) 11:59 PM
.
For example, if current year is 2009, the year in the endDateTime of promotion/Discount rule will be 2028 (2009+19):
12-31-2028 11:59 PM
When a Promotion ID that is associated with an item that is greater than the value 231 (2,147,483,647), then that item is considered an item not on file.
Promotion ID, Promotion Component ID and Promotion Component Detail ID cannot have a value greater than the maximum allowed for a Java int datatype (231).
Oracle Retail Sales Audit is unable to identify the reason codes for a Price Discount transaction.
The RegistryEligible field is hardcoded with the value true in Oracle Retail Merchandising System extracts.
Current Point-of-Service column length for Unit Retail Price supports six whole digits (Decimal 8,2) only.
By default, all coupons imported through Data Import will be Special Order Eligible.
The Oracle Retail POS Suite products support a maximum store ID length of five digits.
Use a store ID that is not greater than five digits in length.
Even though POS can pass multiple IGTAX/TTAX lines to ReSA and from ReSA to RMS, RMS only supports one VAT_CODE per item.
If multiple taxes for an item is sent from POS to ReSA, they will be summed to a single tax in RMS and assigned one of the applicable tax codes when writing TRAN_DATA 88.
