SAP Customer Activity Repository includes functionality that allows you to

achieve a near real-time view on inventory in your business. Typically, your
inventory information is stored and managed in your SAP ERP source system.
Some examples of how inventory counts in SAP ERP are updated include:

 Processing of sales documents: sales documents include information

on what items and in what quantity are sold, and the inventory counts
are adjusted accordingly.
 In-store operations, such as the entry of a goods receipt: as the
store receives goods, the inventory counts are increased by the
received amount.
 POS transaction sales data received from SAP POS DM or SAP
Customer Activity Repository: data on what items and in what
quantity are sold in brick-and-mortar stores is posted to SAP ERP at
regular intervals. SAP ERP inventory counts are updated accordingly.
This particular type of update does not necessarily occur frequently
enough to obtain a near real-time view on your current inventory.
