This feature provides the facility to connect with each principal to receive masters and send the corresponding transaction data. As long as stock numbers are unique across principals, each business can run independently. Businesses can maintain the item attributes as per their logic and not as governed by the principals, using a one-time attribute mapping to establish correlation. In essence, Stock and Sales Visibility across Multiple Businesses lets the principals get the business data they want and the POS locations to operate with their preferred item attributes.
