[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.

Kudos to the team at Microsoft for going the extra mile to provide this document and sample extensions.

PS: If you have access to the LCS Deployed VM please access these materials there, I would not be in a position to share these as copyrights apply.

Update - These documents have been discussed in the Tech Conference Video ->Retail customizations: Part 1 which have been uploaded in the last week. Use below link to access https://mbs.microsoft.com/customersource/northamerica/AX/learning/pres

Handy Tips on working on Microsoft Word or Outlook

I have complied a small set of handy tips for working on Microsoft Word or Microsoft Outlook – 1. To change case (toggle between upper case, lower case and camel case), select the text and press Shift+F3 2. While editing documents, it is not uncommon to delete words, phrases, and the like. Different people take different approaches to the task. For instance, some people just select the text and press Delete, while others may simply hold down the Delete or Backspace keys until the unwanted characters disappear. If you are in the latter group, and you spend a lot of time pressing Delete or Backspace, you may be interested in a handy shortcut provided by Word. All you need to do is hold down the Ctrl key to speed up your editing tasks. Here is a list of what you can achieve with this Ctrl+ <-- (left arrow key) Goto Previous word Ctrl+ --> (right arrow key) Goto Next word Ctrl+Delete ...

A simple customization in MPOS (Blank Operation) with AX7

Hi All, I recently had to add a Blank Operation to Modern POS (MPOS) to open a url from MPOS. Blank Operation as you may already be aware enable you to extend Microsoft Dynamics Retail for POS by adding custom logic that can be triggered from the Retail POS Register buttons. The way to implement Blank Operations in MPOS is different from Enterprise POS as MPOS is a modern app as compared to EPOS which is a windows forms based app. So lets explore a very simple customization i.e. we want to open a URL on triggering a button from MPOS. 1. We would need to start with AX to add a button to the layout of MPOS. If you do not want to disturb the standard layouts its better to copy one of the existing layouts and then modify it using the designer. Please note the designer only opens in Internet Explorer so it will save you time by not trying to open it in other browsers e.g Chrome 2. Next we need to add this layout to the Store where we intend to use it...
