Introduction: LS Central provides an easy way to add Custom functionality through the use of POS External Commands. These commands are executed on the POS and let me know you how to create them. For this example, we will create a POS Command, to remove all the lines from the current transaction. Pre-requisites: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central On Premise V16.5 LS Central V16 Demonstration: You will need a Codeunit in which we define all the custom commands, all your Custom commands can be added in a single Codeunit. Make sure to set the “TableNo” property to “POS Menu Line” table. In the OnRun trigger, we have to handle two cases: Registering the module and associated commands. Procedure to execute when a command is called. For handling the first case, we create a procedure “Register” which takes a “POS Menu Line” as a parameter. In this procedure we use the “POS Command Registration” codeunit to register this module and all the associated commands. I prefer to use Global Labels to store the Module Code/ Module Description and Command Code/Command Description, as this way, any and all changes need be done only once but it is not necessary. Once this is done, the next step is to register the POS Module, this can be done in two ways: Using Retail Modules: Search for Retail Modules in BC Search. Click on “Process” and then “Register.” Search for your Codeunit and click on OK. Using “POS External Commands”: Search for Retail Modules in BC Search. Click on “Process” and then “Register” Search for your Codeunit and click on OK. You can confirm that your commands are visible by checking the list of POS External Commands. Now on the POS, we right-click on a button and click on “Button Properties” Then set your custom command, Now we add multiple Items. And when we press the button, this is the result, as expected. Conclusion: Thus, in this blog, we saw how to create Custom commands which can be used on POS. Thanks for reading!

Introduction: There are some needs where the client wants to add fields in the standard business central report. You cannot make changes in the Standard Business central report. We can change the layout of standard reports by using a custom layout that is present in Report Layout Selection. Steps to achieve the goal: 1. Go to Visual Studio Code -> Download the AL Object Designer Extension I want to modify Sales Credit Memo and I will make a copy of the standard report from the AL Object designer. Create a new report and paste the standard report code. Change the Report ID and Name and add a field that you want to be present in the Standard report. Build and Publish the code in business central. Go to Report layouts selection->Custom layouts download the original layout of the standard report and import it to the new report which you created -> Update Layout. Download the report layout from the new report. Change the layout according to your needs add the new fields which you want to be in the standard business central report. After adding the fields in the new report layout. Import the layout file and Update it. And use your customized report. Conclusion: Thus we saw how we can add fields in a standard business central report by using the AL Object Designer extension. Thank you very much for reading my work. Hope you enjoyed the article!

In Canvas PowerApps, we usually show an image that lies over the screen until an execution is completed. But tracking real-time update might be confusing. I’ll show you a simple custom loading control that not only show execution status but also look good and is highly customizable. Here’s a preview how it will look (Note: Determine your layout before hand like X,Y, Height and Width)(Customize your look, I’ve added dots above just for demonstration purpose.)How to make this, Elements used visually are, Create a Rectangle as main background and set Height, Width, X and Y. (I’ve used light grey color) Insert another Rectangle to show loading animation which will fit inside main Rectangle.Determine its Height, Width, X and Y. Label control to show current status or add a simple static label. Gallery Control having circle in them i.e.: Dots (Optional, I used to show how i retrieve data as its similar to Navigation Screen Gallery Control used in 1 of predefined template in Canvass PowerApps) Functionality behind used are, Gallery Control under ‘Items’ I’ve added table. (Based on your content, keep total count of steps you would like to see in loading page. In my case, i have 6 steps) Label Control that shows current status based on current step. Rectangle with loading animation. (Note: Your step count and width may vary) Now you may have a button that will call list of execution that you will perform. To track every successful completion of process just add this, Later reset count and turn visibility off. (Note: This is re-usable and can be used as component.) Hope this helps.

If you’re using a Tier-2 sandbox or production environment that has application version 8.1.2.x or later, you must initialize Commerce Scale Unit before you can use retail channel functionality for point of sale (POS) operations that use Retail Server in the cloud. Initialization will deploy a Commerce Scale Unit (cloud). Prerequisites: Deploy a Tier-2 sandbox or production environment that has application version 8.1.2.x or later. Initialize Commerce Scale Unit as part of a new environment deployment Make sure the headquarters environment is available and not in Maintenance mode. Steps: In LCS, on the environment details page, Click on Manage. Click on initialize Select your region And initialize. Inside HQ, go to channel Database new channel DB created. Add channels inside that new Channel DB. Go to channel, click on channel profile and select that new channel DB. Run 9999 jobs from channel Database. I hope this helps!

If you want to keep track of the Commits of any Critical Project and want to discuss with your Project Team Member regarding commits made on TFS. We can create a flow that will post the Commit details of that Critical Project on your Project Channel. Step 1: Create a Team and a channel to post the Checked-in Details. Here I have created a Team with the name “Project Team” and a separate channel “Azure DevOps” to post all the messages related to Development and DevOps. Step 2: Create a Cloud flow to post Message when someone commits any changes in Azure DevOps (TFS) Search for Azure and select the triggering condition as “When code is checked in (TFVC)” Configure the Triggering block with Project for which you want to post a message to MS Team. If you want to track the commits of any specific user then you can set a user in Team Member otherwise it will post a message for all checked-in commits made by all Project Members present in Member. Now, we will add Post a message (v3) block in Cloud flow. Make sure that you should select the right channel while configuring the post message block, after configuring your block it should look like the below screenshot: Save the Cloud flow and Test it by making commits from your Visual Studio or Azure DevOps from the browser. Testing. Here, I will make commit using Visual Studio: Result

Introduction: There is a need where you want to replace your customized report with the standard business central report. In which the customized report is a copy of the standard report along with new fields added. So how can you avoid to show two reports with same caption one is your customized report other is standard Business central report. Steps to achieve the goal: In my example, I want to add a field in the Vendor Payment Receipt field. I copied the standard report code. Once you have updated the Layout and add the field publish the code you will be able to see two reports of Vendor Payment Receipt. So in order, that client doesn’t use the old report we can use the Report Management Codeunit. Publish the code and open the report you will be redirected to your Customized Report. Conclusion: Thus we saw how we can replace the Standard report with our own Customized Report using the Report Management Codeunit. Thank you very much for reading my work.
