Retail POS Transaction Types Identification

Posted on by Community Member

in retail pos there are different types of transactions like customer order, sales and payment etc.

we can see these labels with transactions in the show journal form in the gridview under the title "Type" once these transactions are made.

My question is How can we differentiate these transactions in code.

I need to print transaction types and sub types on the receipt. for example there is a customer order transaction with sub type quotation and sales order separately.

Although the RetailTransaction object holds an object named TransactionType which gives us some information about the transaction type but it does not precisely differentiate them as it declares sales transactions and payment transactions as sales transactions.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Muhammad,

TransactionType field should be enough to determine exact type of transaction (AX uses this type to understand how to process transactions).

Could you, please, explain what you mean saying 'as it declares sales transactions and payment transactions as sales transactions'?

Thanks Oksana for your immediate reply.

By " it declares sales transactions and payment transactions as sales transactions" I mean that although in the form showJournal both these transactions are being separated by types as sales and payment. But we try to debug and check in the code then we find their TransactionType as sales for both. I beleive there is some other factor as well, in retailtransaction object that differentiate them.

For more clear understanding i have added an image please check that as well.

Hi Muhammad,

Why are you using RetailTransaction as parameter in the method? 'Payment' transaction will have different type - CustomerPaymentTransaction.

Base type for both transactions is PosTransaction - if you reaadTransactionType from it, it should be correct
