Overview

The NCR Silver 1-Way Interface is a one way sales interface that uses NCRSilver’s API to pull sales into Yellow Dog. More information on our two way interface with NCR Silver can be found here.

Sync Approach

The NCR Silver 1 -Way Interface contains two elements:

  1. Yellow Dog’s NCRSilverConsole to pull sales and locations from NCRSilver’s API.

  2. Yellow Dog’s Balto application to assign locations from GoTab stores in Yellow Dog.

Sync Frequency

By default the console is scheduled to run hourly. Additional configuration options are available upon request.

Configuration

This integration supports multiple instances of NCRSilver connected to the same YD database.

This integration supports two methods to map sales for inventory depletion:

  1. Menu Items and Recipes are mapped to the POS Item Sold using Yellow Dog’s POS Item Mapping

  2. Sales can be matched to Yellow Dog Items based on SKUs or UPCs

Please confirm the preferred method with your Implementation Guide.

Requirements

Client

If the Yellow Dog database is not hosted by Yellow Dog Software, there may be additional firewall rules or port configurations necessary to facilitate communication. In order to exchange information with the NCR Silver API an internet connection will be needed.

The client will need to provide the Location to Store mapping, and inform Yellow Dog their preferred method of matching sales.

POS Partner

The POS partner will need to provide the ClientID and Client Secret.

Yellow Dog requires the following:

  • Yellow Dog database version 375 or higher
