Dynamics AX allows you to organize your products into what are referred to as Retail Product Hierarchies, which allows you to create a tree structure of products with an unlimited number of levels and groupings. This allows you to then use these hierarchies to choose what products are to be used by the retails stores by group rather than by individual product, making the maintenance and deployment of the products much easier as you add and remove products from your catalog.

The final step in setting up a Worker to allow them to use the Retail functions is to assign them to a Retail Position. This will assign them all of the correct rights so that they are able to access the POS Registers, and also dictate what transactions they are able to perform.

Before a worker is able to allow Workers to use the POS Registers, they need to be assigned a Retail Position on the organization so that they have the required rights and privileges. If we don’t already have an open Position for the employee, then we will need to create one.

Once you have your Store configured, you will want to assign workers to them so that they will be able allowed to use the POS Registers. This is done by adding them to the stores address book, and also configuring their default Retail options.

In order to start selling via the Retail Channels, we need to create a Store to sell through. The Store will be associated with warehoused for stocking, customer address books for sales, and also employee groups to manage who can work at the store and their permissions. Also, later on we will be able to attach POS Registers to the stores so that we can access all of the store information and transactions through a disconnected session, and synchronize with the store later on.

After creating a Store there is a small housekeeping step that needs to be performed. And that is to add the Store to the Organizational Hierarchies. Later on we will use this as we are defining the Product Assortments to assign valid sellable products to stores.

Before we set up the Store, we need to quickly create a Warehouse that we will use to manage the store inventory. This will be replenished from our main warehouses, but will allow the store managers and users to use the POS system for cycle counts, and also allow all of the organization to view the available inventory separated out by store.
