What is Dynamics 365 Retail C-POS(Cloud Point of Sale)  & M-POS(Modern Point of Sale)

Dynamics 365 Retail Server is a component of the Dynamics 365 suite that enables seamless integration and management of retail operations. It acts as a communication hub between the Dynamics 365 F&O (Finance and Operations) backend and various retail channels. C-POS (Cloud Point of Sale) is a cloud-based retail application that runs on web browsers and allows sales transactions and customer interactions at physical stores. M-POS (Modern Point of Sale) is a Windows-based application designed for in-store sales and provides advanced features for handling complex retail scenarios. Both C-POS and M-POS are client applications that interact with the Dynamics 365 Retail Server to ensure consistent and efficient retail operations across different touchpoints.

How to Extract and generate a CSV File and Retrieve a List of Project Addresses in AX 2012 Using SQL and X++

In this post, I will share how to retrieve a list of project addresses in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 using both SQL queries and an X++ job. This guide includes both approaches to ensure flexibility depending on your requirements. Background and Requirement A client required a report listing all the addresses associated with projects in AX 2012. To fulfill this, I identified the necessary tables and their relationships to retrieve the relevant data. The key tables involved are: ProjTable : Stores project-related data. LogisticsLocation : Stores location details. LogisticsPostalAddress : Stores postal address details. LogisticsAddressCountryRegion : Stores country/region information. After confirming the relationships between these tables, I wrote a SQL query to extract the required data and later implemented an X++ job to automate the extraction process into a CSV file. SQL Query for Project Addresses Here is the SQL query I used to fetch the project addresses: SELECT     ...

Extracting Project Addresses to Excel in Dynamics AX 2012

 In this blog, I’ll demonstrate how to extract project address details into an Excel file using X++ in Dynamics AX 2012. While CSV is a great format for small-scale data export, it has limitations when dealing with large datasets, as it lacks the concept of multiple sheets. To overcome this, I transitioned to Excel, which supports multiple sheets and can handle larger volumes of data seamlessly. Why Excel Instead of CSV? In my previous implementation, I used a CSV format to extract project addresses. While it was simple and effective for smaller datasets, it became evident that: CSV files are single-page only : If the record count exceeds the limit, we cannot paginate to a new sheet. Excel offers better structure : With multiple sheets, we can organize and store large amounts of data efficiently. Usability : Excel files are more user-friendly, especially when filtering, sorting, or visualizing data. X++ Job for Exporting Project Addresses to Excel Below is the X++ code to extract p...
