Temporary Stores

There are two types of temporary stores:

• Extension Stores - uses the same store number as the brick and mortar store (physical store). The store is extended to a remote location such as in a mall. Stock and sales are associated with the parent store. Only Extension Store requests can be created/maintained in Xstore POS.

• Event Stores - unique store number with no affiliation to an actual brick and mortar store. Also referred to as a standalone popup store. Store operates completely standalone, reporting its own sales and handles own inventory. Event Stores can only be created in Xadmin. See Oracle Retail Xstore Office User Guide for more information.
