Here are details of how you can do it with ease Many of the time when You don’t want Existing Data Types(Base Enums, EDTs) or Data Models(Table, Views etc)  and many more elements which can ultimately cause naming conflict while development. So Option is either you want to delete those data type or Model consisting those Data Model/Data Types. Following methods are needed to be performed while Deleting model: 1.First Open Services and Select  Microsoft Dynamics 365 Unified Operations: Batch Management Service and Stop that services 2.Navigate To following path K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory And Select Your Respective package/Model and delete that Note:- Here I’m using One box machine so my “AosService” is located at K drive. For other machine users “AosService” can be located at other location so you will look for it and Follow steps same as above. 3. Don’t forget To start Microsoft Dynamics 365 Unified Operations: Batch Management Service again. 4. Now refresh models from Visual Studio as follows You have successfully Deleted the Respective model/Package. Hope this helps!

Hello guys, The two types of point of sale or POS in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Retail Management Solution are MPOS and CPOS. MPOS is Modern Point of Sale and CPOS is Cloud Point of Sale. There is no offline functionality when it comes to Cloud POS. It has a unique design that allows you to pair it up with the hardware station. The MPOS, on the other hand, is a POS app that one can access with ease on tablets, and PCs. Migrating from MPOS to CPOS is a good option because Cloud POS can run on any platform since the browser accesses the application code from the CPOS server but it can become a time-consuming task if you do not follow the standard process. In this article, I am going to demonstrate how to change/migrate from Modern POS to Cloud POS in Dynamics 365 for Retail. Once you activate Cloud POS you can access POS directly from any web browser. However, you do need to install the Hardware station. Because CPOS runs in a browser, the application isn’t installed on the device. Therefore, CPOS can’t directly access POS hardware or work in an offline state. Step 1: Go to all Retail stores Step 2: Click on the Register for which you want to change from MPOS to CPOS Step 3: Click on the device Step 4: In the application type Select Retail Cloud POS Step 5: Change Activation status to Pending and click on Validate devices for activation. Click Ok for all workers Step 6: Click on Cloud POS URL Step 7: Activate it using HQ user ID and password. Select appropriate store and register that you had activated on HQ which is in pending state. If it’s in activated state then it wont reactivate. Step 8: Next step is to install the Hardware station so you can connect hardware peripherals to your POS. Go to your store and scroll down to Hardware stations. Select shared. In the Hostname field enter the name of your computer(find it in system information of your system) and click on download. Step 9: Run the downloaded file. It may ask you to install OPOS Common control driver from the link. Download the latest one and click next. Step 10: Enter the Retail server URL Step 11: Open IIS then go to SSL certificate Step 12: Double click on Server certificate and click on Create self signed certificate Step 13: Select the SSL certificate Step 14: Use any of the open ports or you can use 9091 Step 15: All the setups are done. Now go back to the POS and click on select hardware station and pair it with the hardware device Hope this helps!

Let’s say you need to create a new store with multiple registers on CPOS.   It is now possible to have a retail store with multiple registers each running CPOS and each having their own dedicated hardware.   For example: A store with two registers both running CPOS and both having their own receipt printer, scanner, etc. . Here comes the concept of a shared hardware station for CPOS, It may seem impractical to have multiple registers sharing the same scanner, pin pad, etc but it is actually possible.   You’ll need to install a hardware station per CPOS and then you should be good to go.   Sharing hardware can be handy in scenarios with limited space or lesser sales persons moving around taking the sales and so on and it’s valid for CPOS.   Note: However, for MPOS you need a dedicated hardware.   Please notice that you can’t have multiple hardware stations installed on the same machine. Please do correct me anyone if that has changed 🙂 This can be done absolutely and is perfectly possible. Just deploy a Hardware station on each device and it will work as discussed in the example above.

Hi, In this blog I am going to illustrate how to get past the printing issues when you are trying to print Customer order, Quotation etc. Let’s consider a scenario: You are using a POS printer which is connected to your CPOS system. After finishing a transaction you want to print the receipt again from the ‘Show journal’ tab. When you go to show journal and attempt to print a order receipt you get following error Here, you dont need to panic and start troubleshooting the hardware station. The issue may not be with the hardware station but with receipt itself.  The issue is when you attempt to print a receipt from show journal sometimes it displays large receipt format such as the below one. Now this receipt will not print from the POS printer such as Epson and is bound throw an error. Hence you get hardware station error. However there is a way to resolve this. You can switch to a small receipt format by direction keys button located on the bottom right of the page. After switching to a smaller receipt format, you can go ahead and print it easily with POS Printer. Hope this helps!

Microsoft Dynamics Nav Integration is one of the most popular ERP solutions that most of the medium and large enterprises use today. It is an ERP solution that is not only easy to learn but is easy to learn and implement. Your staff is going to become a lot more efficient when they use this ERP solution.  Microsoft is one of the best companies in the world for all the right reasons. This software contains some of the best and unique features that will not only raise the productivity of the staff but will also improve your performance. But, if enterprises want to enjoy the benefits that come from this ERP solution, they need to plan on upgrading Dynamics NAV to a cloud-based environment. Introduction: Working with failed Scheduled Jobs can be a tiresome process. This is exactly the case where one of my clients has an Invoicing & Payment Jobs which run once a day and Job Queue Entries fail to trigger these Jobs. No Errors in the Logs, No Execution Entry, Simply No Way of Figuring it out as to why Job didn’t trigger. Contacting Microsoft Support, they are asking to simply Upgrade the Application to the latest version. Which is not a preferred option as the database size is around 200GB. Let’s see how to resolve this in a smarter way. Pre-requisites: Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler Microsoft Windows Powershell Microsoft Dynamics NAV(Administration Module for PowerShell & Development Environment) Books & References: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.dynamics.nav.management/?view=businesscentral-ps Demonstration: 1. Building Objects to Run through a Codeunit: As you know that Job Queue Entries support Reports and Codeunits and NAV Administration Module only supports Codeunit. So, in order to make it work, create a Codeunit to execute all the Reports and code units. 2. Creation of PowerShell Script: This PowerShell Script executes with the help of NAV Administration to Run the Codeunit. Prior to running the script, you need to set the Execution Policy. Syntax: Invoke-NAVCodeunit <Codeunit No.> – ServerIntance <ServerInstanceName> -CompanyName  <Company Name> -Force 3. Setting Up Task Scheduler Triggers: By Setting up the Triggers, you can decide recurrence to execute the Codeunit. It can be Hours, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, One-Time or Infinite. You can also set the time for precise execution. 4. Setting Up Task Scheduler Commands: Whenever we execute the PowerShell Script through CMD, we run the commands as follows. Command: PowerShell.exe <PS Script File Path> Here, we pass the PowerShell.exe into the script and PS Script File Path as a Parameter. Conclusion: Thus, using NAV Administration Module, Power-Shell and Task Scheduler I was about to replicate Job Queue Entries functionality. Although this works perfectly for NAV and Business Central – On-Premise, it works for Business Central on SaaS. In my upcoming blog, I’ll also show we can achieve this. Hope you guys find this blog useful 😇

Many of the time while development we have problems due to IIS services which are necessary while debugging in D365 Finance and Operations, many of the time problems can be just resolved by restarting IIS services on one box machine. IIS services can be restarted using two methods one is from Visual studio itself and the other is from Command prompt. Let’s see both the methods one by one: 1.Restart IIS services by Visual Studio:- this is a quite easy method only needs that your visual studio should be opened with administrator permissions. Now in Visual Studio Navigate to Dynamics 365 option and click on it Now select Option Restart IIS Express thats it Now your IIS Express service will restart 2.Restart IIS services by Command Prompt:- Other than Visual Studio IIS Express can be restarted using Command Prompt as follows Open Command Prompt as an Administrator Now enter the command as “iisreset” and Hit enter After completion, you will see the following screen That’s it, your IIS Service will get restarted using Visual Studio and Command Prompt.

Introduction: Recently In Business Central, I have observed the format for General Journals where the unnecessary fields are hidden in order to avoid confusion. Pre-requisites: Microsoft Dynamics Business Central Demonstration: There are 2 Views of General Journal in Business Central. 1. Limited field view: Limited Column View 2. All field view: Full Column View 3. Switching to Limited Field View: Switching to Limited Field View 4. Switching to All Field View: Conclusion: Thus, this limited view from all field view is helpful to avoid confusion during data entering but it has drawback. If you are entering Account No. as G/L Account and want to switch the Customer as Account Type, there is no way of doing it from Limited field view.This is because in General Journal functionality, Business Central automatically selects the Account Type from previous entry causing this drawback.

“Run Jobs” – as the name suggests is a process between Retail Channels and Retail essentials through which we transfer data between channels and database. Please Note: Jobs Run at a specified time which may be different for every Retail Scheduler. Be aware of what the time is set for jobs to run automatically.  Running jobs at a specific time requires setting to be done so that we can schedule a specific job to run at specific time. It can be easily done manually. You’ll have to follow the below steps: Step 1: Go to distribution schedule or Channel database in Retail Dynamics 365. If the job doesn’t run from distribution schedule run it through channel database. Step 2: Go to download sessions and make sure your Job is available or in applied state. If it is in available state, go to “Batch Jobs“. Step 3: Now you will have to find the same batch job that you were searching and need to run it at a specified time. Step 4: Here, since the Job is in waiting state, you need to change it’s scheduled date and time to current time. This change must be according to the time at which you want your job needs to be run. The specified time will make your job run immediately.   Step 5: You can check if Job is being applied in “Download sessions” whenever required. Step 6: You can also change how often the job should run from going to Recurrence. Step 7: Only things highlighted in Red boxes should be checked. Hope this helps!!! Thank you! Please feel free to post any doubts you have.
