    It was SSRS report. I managed to print it via Hardware station.

    hi code,

    you can simply used the Report builder software or for query base report, base functionality is a good option.

    please once go though Mauro solution.

    this query base report is best and fast.

    Hi Ammar,

    POS can use different reporting engines:

    1) For X-report and Z-report POS simply builds text string and sends it to printer;

    2) For 'Advance invoice' report (Polish functionality) it calls AX via RTS to build SSRS report and print received report on Windows printer;

    3) For reports shown on POS screen (like Sales per hour / Sales per worker and etc. ) MS article can be helpful to understand how it works:  technet.microsoft.com/.../dn497829.aspx

    Crystal reports are not used in standard code, but if your POS needs to print documents with complex design, Crystal reports are nice solution.

    Regards,

    Oksana

    Hi,

    I'm assuming you're talking about the "View reports" operations. This isn't SSRS, neither Crystal. It's only a query that runs on top of the store SQL database. You can see the ones deployed by default in AX > Retail > Setup > Channel reports configuration (the last option in the menu). It's a lesser XML with a query definition. Create your own and send to the POS using the proper job.

    Regards, Mauro.
