Every store, every register, and every shift produces a flood of transaction data: sales, returns, discounts, voided receipts, and cash drawer counts. Most of it is correct. Some of it is not, whether because of a typo, a technical glitch, or something more deliberate. Checking everything by hand quickly adds up:
- over 25% of organizations estimate they lose more than 5 million US dollars a year to poor data quality (IBM Institute for Business Value, 2025)
- more than two-thirds of finance leaders spend at least five hours a week simply recreating reports (insightsoftware and Hannover Research, 2025)
- manual reconciliation of transaction data carries an error rate of 3 to 5 percent, and those errors compound the longer they sit unnoticed (Institute of Finance and Management, cited by Tier2 Systems, 2026
Combined with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition as your ERP core, OSTA ensures that what happens at your registers shows correctly in your books. The result is a retail process designed end to end.

Store and ERP – working as ane
Retail, Thought End to End
OSTA delivers its full value when it is not seen as an isolated audit tool but as the link between the places where you sell and the system where you account for it:
- Your POS estate – where sales happen: Every register in every store records sales, returns, discounts, and cash movements, regardless of the POS vendor.
- SAP Omnichannel Sales Transfer and Audit – where every transaction is checked: OSTA collects this transaction data, validates and audits it, and turns it into clean, aggregated postings.
- SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition – where the numbers are booked: Your ERP core handles sales postings, inventory updates, and financial accounting on SAP’s standardized cloud processes, based on data you can trust.
Together, these layers form one consistent retail process: what customers buy in your stores is recorded correctly, and what is recorded is what you report. Because NETCONOMY implements both OSTA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, you get one partner and one integration concept, instead of separate projects that have to be stitched together afterwards.
The NETCONOMY approach to delivering POS data auditing and processing
Ensure Data Quality at the Beginning, Not in the Close
Financial data is one of the most sensitive parts of your retail operations. Every error that slips through costs time in the close, and margin and credibility in the audit.
By the time a pricing error or a mismatched void shows up in your monthly reconciliation, you have already lost the chance to fix it at the source. We establish the validation and audit layer that catches it while the transaction is still fresh, right where your POS systems, warehouse, and ERP already meet. This fits naturally into a move to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition: clean, standardized transaction data is the basis for a fit-to-standard ERP.
SAP Omnichannel Sales Transfer and Audit
Financial Transparency by Design
SAP Omnichannel Sales Transfer and Audit is a cloud-native service that captures point-of-sale transactions in real time and validates them before they reach your ERP. It checks for duplicate receipts, gaps in receipt numbers, mismatched totals, and configuration errors. Anything it cannot resolve automatically is flagged for a person to review, and a complete, timestamped record of every change is kept for auditing purposes. Thanks to its modern, API-first architecture, OSTA can take in data from almost any point-of-sale estate and feed clean, finance-ready data into SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition or the ERP you already run.
