Change Request and Recertification
This section defines the process for requesting changes to a certified POS integration and the conditions that require recertification.
Change Request Process
- All changes to a certified integration must be documented and approved before deployment.
- Submit a formal change request including:
- Description of the change.
- Impact analysis (functional and operational).
- Proposed deployment plan.
- UEAT will review and confirm if recertification is required.
When Recertification Is Required
Recertification or partial recertification is mandatory for:
- API Changes
- New endpoints or modifications to existing ones.
- Changes in authentication or security mechanisms.
- Order Flow Adjustments
- Alterations to order creation, update, or rejection logic.
- Menu Synchronization Logic
- Changes affecting menu mapping or pricing.
- Tax and Total Calculation
- Any update impacting totals, taxes, or discounts.
- Integration with New Features
- Hub, Kiosk, or other advanced workflows.
Recertification Steps
- Validate changes in non-production environment.
- Complete full regression testing.
- Submit updated documentation.
- Obtain UEAT approval before production deployment.
Best Practices
- Plan changes during low-traffic periods.
- Maintain backward compatibility where possible.
- Communicate timelines and rollback plans in advance.
