Inventory Lookup screen and Store locator group assignment in AX 2012 R3 POS

Hi Guys, this blog is related to the most simple form in POS. Untill now I was under impression that the Inventory lookup just utilize the Real time service to show the Inventory for the Retail stores, but I discovered a new feature in AX 2012 R3 to restrict the number of stores in the Inventory lookup screen. You might have experienced an issue that the stock is not showing up for other stores on Inventory lookup screen at POS. The Inventory lookup screen is blank.

You might have seen the Store locator group form under Retail >> Setup >> Store locator group , this form can be used to restrict the number of stores on the Inventory lookup screen at POS.

Instead of showing all the stores in the Inventory lookup screen , create a group and attach all the Retail stores (brick and mortar stores). Now this groups needs to be attached to the Retail store under Retail Store >> Setup tab >> Setup action pane >> Store locator group assignment. If this assignment is not available then the Inventory lookup screen will be blank. Run the scheduler job N – 1070 Channel configuration and check if the selected store is available on the Inventory lookup screen.

Hope this will help you resolve the Inventory lookup issue.

Enjoy RetailDaxing…..
