The till stays fast
Cashiers sell against local data, online or offline, and SAP is never on the critical path of a sale.
SAP Business One
SalesLife with SAP Business One: retail and POS that post clean documents to SAP
SAP Business One stays your system of record. SalesLife gives it a retail front end that trades offline, and posts sales, payments, purchasing and production to SAP through SalesLife Central, so finance sees clean, traceable documents.
How a sale reaches SAP Business One
The path from the till to the right SAP documents, through SalesLife Central.
StartCustomer sale
- Till
Take the sale and payment
Cashiers sell and take tenders, online or offline.
- KRA eTIMS
Sign for KRA
The invoice is signed in the sale flow.
- Branch
Save locally
The posted sale is stored on the branch database, so the till never waits for the ERP.
- SalesLife HQ
Push and validate
The branch pushes the sale to HQ, which validates and stages it.
- HQ worker
Create the documents
HQ integration workers create the A/R invoice, the incoming payment and the inventory issue in SAP.
- SAP Business One
Reconcile at month end
A month-end POS-to-ERP report confirms the two match.

What flows between SalesLife and SAP Business One
| Flow | What moves through SalesLife Central |
|---|---|
| Master data | Items, business partners, price lists and warehouses are pulled from SAP by SalesLife Central and published to the branches. |
| Sales | A/R invoices, incoming payments and inventory issues from POS sales. |
| Procurement | Purchase orders are published, goods receipts become goods receipt POs, and supplier invoices post as A/P invoices. |
| Production | Work orders for food-scale items and kitting post as production documents. |
| Reconciliation | A month-end POS-to-ERP report, idempotent posting and audit references on every document. |
Why a hub in the middle helps
No SAP credentials on tills
Secrets stay with SalesLife Central, and the branch POS never calls the service layer directly.
Safe retries
Failed pushes wait in an outbox and replay, and a duplicate is never posted twice.
Visible exceptions
A queue shows each held document and the reason, so finance fixes causes, not symptoms.
More than posting
- Full procure-to-pay at the branch, with a three-way match of order, receipt and invoice
- KRA eTIMS signing, M-Pesa and card tenders at the till
- Stock transfers, cycle counts, and batch and serial traceability
- 112 standard reports and live store and head-office dashboards
FAQ
Common questions
Do tills connect directly to SAP Business One?
No. Tills sync with SalesLife Central, and Central posts to SAP. This keeps SAP credentials off the tills.
What master data comes from SAP?
Items, business partners, price lists and warehouses are pulled from SAP through SalesLife Central.
What posts back to SAP?
A/R invoices, incoming payments and inventory issues for sales, goods receipt POs and A/P invoices for procurement, and production documents.
Can we also use Dynamics 365 Business Central?
Yes. SalesLife Central also posts to Business Central, with its own mapping and an extension that runs inside Business Central.
