Conflicting Definitions

There are scenarios where two or more configured definitions (at the same level but distant from each other in a structure) conflict. This can cause unpredictable results on the POS client because it cannot determine which record to use.

The following diagram demonstrates how this conflict can occur:

Figure - Conflicting Definitions


This diagram displays a way in which two definitions can cause a conflict in a record.

For instance, creating a menu item price record for the same item in both Zone 1 and Zone 2 results in a conflict on the POS client, because the values are defined at the same relative distance and it is not possible to determine which value takes precedence.
