What anomaly detection uses from each

POS Systems is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
SAP on its own
SAP holds the booked order, the invoice and the customer master. It has no record of the marketing that produced the order.
Timing. SAP data usually reaches outside systems in scheduled extracts, so it runs as current as the extract schedule your ERP team sets.
Access. Read-only OData services or scheduled exports set up with your ERP team.
POS Systems on its own
A POS sees the sale at the counter. It only knows who bought when the customer gave a phone number or email for a receipt or loyalty account.
Timing. Many POS systems settle and export transactions in end-of-day batches.
Access. The POS vendor's API where one exists, or a daily export.
