Menu Levels from a POS System

Menu items are posted from Simphony, or another POS system, to Reporting and Analytics, and then posted to Inventory Management via the web service. Each POS system handles menu level mapping to Inventory Management differently. Inventory Management supports up to 10 menu levels. The tables below explain this mapping from each POS system option to Inventory Management.

Each POS system option is represented by a numeric value in the configuration parameter PRODUKT.MENULEVELSALES.

Standard and 3700

There is a maximum of 10 menu levels. If a menu level from the POS source is greater than 10, a warning message appears in the log file. An example message reads: WARNING: Invalid price level (“17”), skipping row.
