NAXML POS/Back Office Guidelines

The POS/Back Office Guidelines document is the result of concerns expressed by the retail community related to the ability to pick back office solutions independently of POS solutions and have the two exchange data in an efficient electronic manner. This document is designed to offer Point-of-Sale and Back Office solution providers a starting point for discussion regarding the exchange of information between their systems. It provides a common framework, data dictionary, and data interchange mechanism for those common data elements that are likely to be exchanged between systems. The Guidelines recommend using the XML as a vendor-neutral data exchange medium.
