This integration is facilitated in part by the Oracle Retail integration solutions:
Oracle Retail Integration Cloud Service for SaaS implementations
Oracle Retail Integration Bus for on premise implementations
Both the on premise and SaaS versions of the integration solutions include the integration components that are leveraged in the integration: bulk-data integration (BDI), message-based integration (RIB), and a centralized repository of foundation and pricing information that is accessed by service (Omnichannel Data Service or OCDS).
The integration of the Merchandising Suite and the Xstore Suite consists of two major data flows:
Foundation and price data from Merchandising and Pricing flow into the Omnichannel Data Service (OCDS).
Xstore Office communicates directly with OCDS to request data-changes reported to OCDS by Merchandising and Pricing. When changes to Merchandising and Pricing data are detected, Xstore .mnt files are automatically generated and distributed for data loading into Xcenter and Xstore databases.
Point of Service transactions from Oracle Retail Xstore Point of Service to the Merchandising Foundation Cloud Service Sales Audit module.
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:
