[AX 7 Retail]: Retail SDK Handbook

Just a short but nevertheless important post. I discovered this document AX7 Retail Handbook while browsing my LCS deployed AX 7 RTW VM Retail SDK folder. Overall the document is made up of two parts. The first covers the Retail Sdk, build, configurations that can be done to be more productive. Additionally, typical branching strategy is discussed in order to work effectively in teams. The second part contains details about the main extensibilities that are possible with the Retail Sdk. Anyone getting started with writing code against the Sdk can use it as a reference in order to get started. Some sample extensions are also provided in the same folder path.

If the images on your environments have different indexes , you need to again associate each of the button wi
