About This Release
Build no. – 432
Released – May 4, 2017
This version is built on Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2017, build no. 15601.
Note:
The 64-bit client is now the default client when opening NAV.
In this version the POS is only supported to run on the 32-bit Dynamics NAV Windows client. We recommend setting up the 32-bit client in the LS Nav Start tool for the POS.
The following is a list of changes and key features in LS Nav 2017 (10.04).
Retail:
Control When and Where to Update Replication Counters
It is now possible to control if replication counter fields in transaction tables are updated when records are inserted or modified. This is to improve POS performance when no replication is needed from a location.
This functionality is controlled by a new flag, Skip Repl. Counter Update, on the Distribution Location card where maintenance of replication counters can be disabled. The replication counter is not updated, if this flag is set for the counter's distribution location. The current location is controlled by the Retail Setup Distribution Location field.
The final control is that if the Retail Setup field points to a distribution location for which this flag is set, the replication counters in that location are not updated. In all other cases the process remains as before, that is the replication counter is updated.
This functionality can be used as performance boost wherever replication of transactions is not needed, for example in all online setups or at some specific location like Head Office.
For Mobile POS Purchases, LS Nav Now Registers Recommended Items
LS Nav now registers items that are recommended by LS Recommend in Mobile POS sales.
LS Recommend:
Code in POS Print Utility Removed and Print Bug Fixed
If the Print Recommendation on Slip check box in the Display on POS FastTab on the LS Recommend Setup card is the only check box that is selected, a call to get recommendations from Azure is triggered. If either one or both of the other options on the FastTab are also selected (including Print Recommendation on Slip), previous recommendation results within the transaction are used to print on the slip.
No Recommendations If the Transaction Includes a Display Rule and a Member
When a display rule is active, recommendations are not triggered, if there is a member in the transaction and no items that trigger recommendation according to the active rule.
Old Recommendations from Cache Are Not Displayed
Now old recommendation items from the POS cache are not displayed as recommended items.
Other:
New Functionality: Hierarchy
Multilevel hierarchies can now be created for items. A hierarchy can be filtered by Store Distribution as well as by Attributes. Hierarchy information can be retrieved by Web Requests. Items can be added to hierarchies directly from the Retail Item card, and users can look up where an item is located in the hierarchies.

The overview now provides access to the Hour Acceptance page where a supervisor for multiple locations can view status, contact local supervisors, accept or reject entries, all to clear the road for exporting a period to salary.
