HOLSPOSDATA – Runs Codeunit 99008803 which performs necessary data conversion by actions. Data from following NAV tables is converted into tables 99008800 – 99008809 which are replicated to the LS POS. 6 Customer Price group 325 VAT posting setup 340 Customer discount Group 341 Item discount Group 5404 Item Unit of Measure 7002 Sales Price 7004 Sales Discount 10001412 Extended Variant Dimensions 10001413 Extended Variant Values 10001414 Item Variant Registration The PriceGroupTypes in the LSPOS table PRICEDISCOUNTGROUP contains combinations of data from 3 different tables in NAV: Module 0 PriceGroup: Data from NAV Table 6 Module 1 LineDiscGroup: Data from Tables 340 and 341 Modules 2 MultiLineDiscGroup and 3 EndDiscGroup are not implemented for the time being. The functions Insert LSPOS Start Jobs creates HO2LSPOSNORM with subjobs equivalent to the default jobs but the subjobs except those are of the type Normal. All subjobs created have Field Transfer Type = Include List and the field lists are created for each subjob. It is not recommended that the function Update Field List is run for any of those jobs because of the difference in data structure between the NAV tables and the LS POS tables. LSPOS layout and printout changes are not supported from NAV. This needs to be configured outside NAV for the time being but will be addressed in future version.

Data Connections Setup Guide

3 Web Services Web service framework is a set of tables to define supported request and how their request and response xml are constructed. The module consists of: 1. Setup table to define if the module is active and some command Node Names to be used in xml documents. 2. Request setup table to define supported requests and if they are active or not. 3. Request xml setup table to define both request and response xml for each request. 4. Common support functions to read requests process and create response xml. 5. Report to print out xml document layouts. When the web service module is activated for the first time (also if active later and not requests found) and no request exists in the request table the system will create all the default requests. When each request is activated and xml setup is not found for the request (both request and response) the system will create default xml setup for both request and response document. The web services module can be activate or deactivate independent of other parts of the system. The module has to be active for the Web Service to work.

3.1 3.1.1

Setup Common Nodes

In the Web Service Setup form (LS Retail BackOffice, Setup, Web Services Setup), define all the common nodes, top, ID and response.

3.1.2

Activate the Services

In the Web Service Setup form (LS Retail BackOffice, Setup, Web Services Setup) you can activate or deactivate the web service module. If no request exists in the WS Request table when you activate the services, the system will create all the default requests.

3.1.3

Activate Requests

Select WS Request List from the Web Service setup menu Web services. In this form you can active or deactivate Web Requests. If no XML Request Setup exists in the WS Request Setup table the system will create the default XML request and response setup for the request.

3.1.4

Setup Requests

From the menu button Web Service in the WS Request Setup form (LS Retail BackOffice, Setup, Web Services Setup) select Web Requests. From the menu button Request select Request/Response xml. In this form you can work with and define layout of XML documents. Note that when activating the request, the system creates the default setup for each request. Also note that though setup can be changed that doing so will always depend heavily on changing the request process as well. So in fact it is normally not practical or recommended to change the request document. On the other hand changing the response document especially if it is based on a table, that is to add or change field in the response document might be needed.

3.1.5

Print Requests Setup

In the WS Request form (LS Retail BackOffice, Setup, Web Services Setup). From the menu button Web Service select Web Requests), select menu button Request and hit Print xml.
