Dynamics AX - Retail Scheduler Gotcha
O n a recent project, I ran into a bit of a "gotcha" today around data replication to the Retail POS in Dynamics Ax 2012 R2. We had created our own schema in order to transfer customized table data to the POS, however, the data would never be written, no matter what we tried. Before I get to the solution, fist some background on the new Retail Channel Schema in R2. In R2, Microsoft has moved away from a single schema mentality when synchronizing data to the POS. It is now utilizing a more flexible multi-schema model. One of the advantages of this model is to allow AX 2012 R2 to seamlessly communicate with both old and new POS versions without issue. It does this by defining a schema for each version of the POS. Out of the box, it looks something like this: Notice there are schemas defined for most version of Dynamics AX (this model doesn't support the POS pre-2009). This will allow the Retail Scheduler to synchronize data between AX 2012 R2 and AX 2009 POS
