Hii Retail Master Data Management and Processing Concepts
Overview
This page introduces the core concepts of master data management and processing in Hii Retail.
Master data management and processing enable integration with external ERP systems, allowing you to input master data for a single store (Business Unit) or distribute master data across multiple stores (Business Unit Group).
The master data management and processing framework covers several key entities in retail operations, primarily Item, Price Specification, and Additional Item Id. More advanced integrations may require other entities.
The following pages provide detailed information about each entity, related services, and their relationships.
