Understanding POS Data

POS data is data that originates where a transaction takes place, such as a cash register terminal. You can import POS data from an external system, such as a cash register, into the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system.

POS transactions often involve unidentified customers, such as an individual purchasing something in a retail location. Because you might have a high volume of transactions for unidentified customers, you can use a generic customer to record the sales in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system, and relate all of the GUI records to one general ledger transaction.

To work with POS data:

  1. Use the GUI/VAT POS Review program (P75T101) to enter or import POS data to temporary tables.

  2. Associate a general ledger transaction to the transactions.

    You can associate a range of GUI numbers to one general ledger transaction.

  3. Run the GUI/VAT POS Interface Inbound program (R75T101) to remove records from the temporary tables and create GUI records in the GUI/VAT Transaction Header table (F75T004) and GUI/VAT Transaction Detail table (F75T005).

    Your GUI/VAT records for POS transactions can now be included in your period-ending reports.
