Starting the POS

To be able to run the POS terminal, the active LS Central user has to be set up as Retail User in the BackOffice:

  1. Open Business Central in a browser (path: hostname:port/service).
  2. Open the Retail Users page, and create a user with a POS terminal assigned.
  3. You can set up the Store number and/or POS Terminal number for each retail user in the Retail Users page.

After configuring the user and terminal, you can run the POS terminal by typing Run POS in the search field in the top-right corner of the client.

You can also type a path to the POS directly in a browser window: http://hostname:port/service/?page=99008880.
Example: http://localhost:8080/BC150/?page=99008880).

Note: If you want to run the POS in full screen and kiosk mode, you can add the argument -kiosk --start fullscreen to the path:
http://hostname:port/service/?page=99008880 -kiosk --start fullscreen

The LS Central Demo Data for the POS
