PURCHASING POLICIES

PURCHASING POLICIES

This Feature is New in Ax-2012. 

This feature is collection of purchasing policy rules that control the requisition process for a group of requisitioners (Legal entity level, departments, and even a specific category of items).

These policies will help the procurement administrators to implement their procurement strategy,  

creation of a policy structure that aligns with the organization's strategic purchasing needs should be done.

Simple example :-  A Policy rule can be defined in such a way that, once the RFQ is approved, then a Purchase order should be created automatically.

The policy rules are used by application logic in the following areas:

• Purchase requisition entry.
• Submission of a purchase requisition to workflow.
• Purchase order creation from approved purchase requisitions.
• Demand consolidation of approved purchase requisitions.
• Ordering products on the Employee Services site.

  These policies are optional (not mandatory) to have process the Purchasing policies.

Simple statement on Retail Data Flows or Synchronizations

Hi All,

A simple statement will give very good understanding of Data flows and Synchronizations of each Retail component of Retail-2012.



Data Flow: Master data (item, customer records, etc.) is synchronized from the retail headquarters to the store database via store connect. Master data in the store database is then synchronized to the offline database via the sync service. While the Retail POS is connected to the store database, transactions are saved directly on the store database. While the Retail POS is offline, however, transactions are save to the offline database. Once the connection to the store database is restored, transactions that were saved to the offline database are synchronized to the store database and then replicated to the retail headquarters through store connect as usual.

Hope you understood exactly what the statement is all about, Pleae send your feedback and doubts on same.

Having a Retail store Template Functioanlity in Retail Ax-2012

Hi All,

Last week we have developed a New functionality in Retail Application on our client requirement.

As per customer requirement, we have to develope a Store Template functiionality, where while creating the new store in the Head qurters, they need want to use Template functionality from where they can copy all the setups....    

This Template functionality is already equiped with Std:Ax functionality but where our requirement had follwing changes.

Step 1:- Need to create a Store Parameter form where Templates should be created where there are soo many Setups are included, like

• Store number ( from which we are going to copy the setups)
• Which things need to copy like
• Copy Screen lay out (Till layout)
• Copy
• Price setups
• Taxes
• Payment types
• Site/Warehouse setups
• Assortments
• Replinishment
• POS terminals etc..

Step2:- If Retail company neeeds it may assign the default Store number at Parameters form.

Step 3:- While creating the new store just Select the creted template which was created in Step 1 and 2 and proceed further.


Business scenario:-

Customer is having three different format of store which we have discussed in http://ax-2012.blogspot.in/2012/06/assortments-hi-today-we-will-learn.html artical. So Simply it will use the above Store template form and do all the setups.

Off coures, there are plenty of setups are available in the above form, but this articale is only ment for giving an Idea to Design the Store template form functioanlity.
