Installation information

Important To take advantage of this hotfix, you must enter the number of days that transactions should be preserved in the POS database in the Days transactions exist field in the functionality profile for each store. You must make sure that you run P jobs more frequently than the number of days that you fill into the Days transactions exist field. If you do not do this, the transactions that have not yet been pulled into Microsoft Dynamics AX will be deleted. We suggest that you run P jobs daily and delete only those transactions that are older than 30, 60, or even 90 days.

Note Depending on other hotfixes installed, you might have to upgrade the Retail POS database after you install this hotfix. If database upgrade is required, you will see a message when you run Retail POS that says the database versions do not match

If you have customizations for one or more of the methods or the tables that are affected by this hotfix, you must apply these changes in a test environment before you apply the hotfix in a production environment.
