Provides a high level API to perform point-of-sale functions.

The SI Application Extension Facility (AEF) provides interfaces to allow client applications to perform many of the functions provided by the point-of-sale system. The interface provided by the AEF is a general purpose interface that allows a remote client to interact with the point-of-sale system at a low-level.

POSProvider interfaces provided by the High Level AEF API are targetted to a more narrow range of applications and therfore can provide a simplified API to those applications. Implementations of POSProvider utilize the low level AEF API calls to deliver POS function while managing many of the tasks normally delegated to the client application. This approach is intended to allow easier integration with the targetted client applications.
