Overview

The sync with Brink POS is a 1-Way interface where Yellow Dog Inventory pulls sales data and reduces inventory levels based on transactions.

Sync Approach

Yellow Dog Inventory pulls sales data from Brink's API.

Sync Frequency

The sync can be scheduled as often as every 30 minutes or as seldom as once a day, although by default, it will be run at the top of every hour during business hours.

Requirements

POS Partner

Provide

  • RVC Codes (Brink Location Tokens)

  • API Access Token

Yellow Dog

This sync requires Yellow Dog v360 or higher and .Net 4.6.2+ must be installed wherever this sync will be run.

Responsibilities

Client

Data Exchange and Mapping

Sales Data

Sales data is pulled from Brink’s api at a scheduled interval of your choosing.

Additional Information

Limitations

Brink does not send quantities. All sales quantities are 1 unless they provide a denominator for split/shared items.

Other Notes

Implementation

Multiple Brink Revenue Centers can be mapped to the same Yellow Dog.

Installation

This sync may be installed anywhere where it can access the Brink API, but it will run faster on the Yellow Dog server
