Introduction

We have two products, one is Absolute (PMS) and Burrp (POS), by using POS2ABS interface we

can enable room posting settlement operation between these two applications.

As usual this interface also expects some settings needs to be done in both the applications.

Once we have those settings done we are ready to take advantage of this interface.

To enable this interface we need to create one logical link between these two applications from

where both applications can exchange data between each other. Basically this whole interface

running with Request and Response Model. Where Absolute becomes passive server and Burrp

becomes active client. As Burrp is active it initiates all operation and make request to Absolute,

in response Absolute accept the request data first it validates the request to check if this

request has been made from authorized client or not. If everything looks perfect then Absolute

will respond to Burrp with needful requested data.

As describe in operation main thing is to open one communication channel and to validate

request we need to obtain the authorization key. These information (communication link and

authorization key) needs to be obtained from Absolute Team.

This document contains all aspects of POS2ABS interface starting from basic configurations to

operations. We will see each of them one by one in steps.

link and authorization key. Once you have that information you can go ahead with settings.
