Let’s say you need to create a new store with multiple registers on CPOS.   It is now possible to have a retail store with multiple registers each running CPOS and each having their own dedicated hardware.   For example: A store with two registers both running CPOS and both having their own receipt printer, scanner, etc. . Here comes the concept of a shared hardware station for CPOS, It may seem impractical to have multiple registers sharing the same scanner, pin pad, etc but it is actually possible.   You’ll need to install a hardware station per CPOS and then you should be good to go.   Sharing hardware can be handy in scenarios with limited space or lesser sales persons moving around taking the sales and so on and it’s valid for CPOS.   Note: However, for MPOS you need a dedicated hardware.   Please notice that you can’t have multiple hardware stations installed on the same machine. Please do correct me anyone if that has changed 🙂 This can be done absolutely and is perfectly possible. Just deploy a Hardware station on each device and it will work as discussed in the example above.

“Run Jobs” – as the name suggests is a process between Retail Channels and Retail essentials through which we transfer data between channels and database. Please Note: Jobs Run at a specified time which may be different for every Retail Scheduler. Be aware of what the time is set for jobs to run automatically.  Running jobs at a specific time requires setting to be done so that we can schedule a specific job to run at specific time. It can be easily done manually. You’ll have to follow the below steps: Step 1: Go to distribution schedule or Channel database in Retail Dynamics 365. If the job doesn’t run from distribution schedule run it through channel database. Step 2: Go to download sessions and make sure your Job is available or in applied state. If it is in available state, go to “Batch Jobs“. Step 3: Now you will have to find the same batch job that you were searching and need to run it at a specified time. Step 4: Here, since the Job is in waiting state, you need to change it’s scheduled date and time to current time. This change must be according to the time at which you want your job needs to be run. The specified time will make your job run immediately.   Step 5: You can check if Job is being applied in “Download sessions” whenever required. Step 6: You can also change how often the job should run from going to Recurrence. Step 7: Only things highlighted in Red boxes should be checked. Hope this helps!!! Thank you! Please feel free to post any doubts you have.
