AX for Retail: The Blank Operation Explained

Kamran - this sounds like it is similar functionality that is available in the Price Check form which resides in the Dialog plug-in. You should be able to grab code from that form. Essentially what it does is creates a temporary transaction with the currently-selected customer and adds the item to that transaction. This then gets run through the same price/discount/tax engine as a normal transaction.

Look for the "checkItemPrice()" method in the frmPriceCheck.cs file.

Hi Shane,

I want to create a new form to display the item information. How to get the item price. I want to enter the item is and it should display the item price taking into consideration the discount if any on the same item.

Thanks

HI Asad and Tahir,

What you're after is the ability to conclude the current transaction from the blank operation - I'm not aware of a way to do this programmatically. The product will do this automatically at the end of operations if it determines that it is time to do so (i.e., after a payment has been made that brings the outstanding balance to zero).

If you are looking to integrate to an online payment processor (I'm wondering if this is the same request that you have been working on with one of my colleagues from Dubai?) then this should be something that could be accomplished with a customization to the EFT plug-in. You can find the 2009 version of the sample here: blogs.msdn.com/.../ax-for-retail-a-better-sample-for-eft-plug-in-credit-card-processing.aspx

Hi Shane,

we are customizing AxRetail POS using the blank operations. We are facing a problem in posting the current transaction on the screen through a button on our custom form. How can we post the current transaction using our own code?

I thought that I responded to these comments... sorry 'bout that.

Antonio - I believe you are missing a reference to one of the DLLs. In 2012 you don't have to worry about that since we provide the .csproj files for you. For 2009 it's still kind of a pain to get them all correct. If you're still having problems getting the DLL compiled, please open a support case and we can help them out.

Lars - you may have already found it, but there is now an article out there with the bug fixes for 2009. See the link above.

Hi Shane!

Thank you for another excellent article regarding POS, however I'm intensly awaiting the bug-workarounds that you mentioned: "There are two bugs in these support classes which I will address in another article"

Any idea when you will publish that?

Lars
