Abstract

The disclosure provides a method of generating business rules for a retail system. Particularly, a computing device receives rule data from a user interface. The rule data comprises retail context information associated with a retail business operating the retail system. A business rule template is then generated based on the retail context information included in the rule data, and validated based on the retail context information and on sample business data. Validation may occur by conditionally performing one or more Point of Sale (POS) functions on the sample business data according to the retail context information. If valid, the business rule template is activated for use in the retail system.
