Make a query with all the info you need.

Expose it through AIF as an O-data feed by adding it to the available document sources in the orgmng>setup>Document handling.

Pull data from that feed through an app using JSon and expose it to the store customers.

Hi Mohammed,

You can also use POS store database to fetch the price.
As for me, this is not great idea to touch AX every time when customers wants to check the price.

In standard POS you can have a look at 'Price check' operation that has functionality similar to your requirement.

Yes... If you have retail (which you probably have) then the price check looks to be a nice off the shelf solution.

Hi Mohammed,

If you touch AX every time, it can influence on AX general performance (if you send a lot of requests) + devices become fully dependent on AX: if AX is not running (for example, during model store update deployment), your customers will not be able to use 'Price check' devices.

If your devices has Windows OS, you can simply install POSes to each of them + configure them to allow 'Price check' operation only.

Otherwise you can use AX web services to contact AX; or maybe create a web service that will connect to store database to read price and return the result to your device.

Regards,

Oksana
