Entity Relationships

Entities in Hii Retail are eventually consistent. Many entities reference others via foreign keys, but these references are not strictly enforced. You can send entities in any order, as long as all required entities are eventually provided.

Consistency is enforced in downstream services, such as the Store Data Service, which assembles and distributes data to POS systems. The "Complete Item" concept is used for legacy integrations and edge communication.

If a referenced entity is missing, the link remains broken until it is supplied. Learn more in Integrating master data.
