audit rules

Audit rules allow you to set your own sales data validation criteria.

errors

Errors arise when the conditions of a rule definition are not met. You can either correct these errors or you can override them.

error impact

Errors arising out of the transaction data validation performed by Sales Audit may have impact on the export of data to the external systems. At times, the data should not be exported to the external systems until the error is corrected. At other times, the impact of the error may be very negligible and limited only to the internal Sales Audit application. In such situations, the data can be exported to external systems.

overriding errors

There are some errors that cannot be corrected. For such errors, you need to acknowledge the error and then override these errors.

rules definition

By providing a Rule Definition in the Sales Audit system, you are actually defining the conditions that the Sales Audit system should meet to perform an additional level of transaction data validation.

sales audit

Sales audit is essentially the process of reviewing the point-of-sale transaction data for accuracy.

store day

A store day is the time spent between opening cash registers at the start of a calendar day and closing the registers at the end of the day. For some retailers, a store day spans over more than one calendar day.

totals

A total is a summation or count of two or more entities. For example, a total can be a summation of the quantity of items sold in the store on a particular store day.

total definition

By providing a Total Definition in the Sales Audit system, you are actually defining from where the total values will come into the Sales Audit system.

total level

Total level indicates the level at which the totals are calculated. The total level relates to the balancing level that is chosen for the system.

total values

This refers to the actual numeric value produced when the Total Definition is run against the transaction data.
