Activate POS editor

The POS editor gives users the option to set up POS actions and buttons directly from within the POS UI, without having to work in Business Central in parallel. However, to make sure it’s operational, you first need to activate it by configuring several options in Business Central.

  1. Click the Lightbulb button, enter POS Layout, and choose the related link.
  2. Create a New layout with a Code, Name, and an adequate Template - Classic1.
  3. Navigate to the POS Unit List.
  4. Open a POS unit, and select the newly created layout from the POS Layout Code dropdown list.
  5. Open the POS, and reload by pressing F5.
    A blank/empty layout without any buttons is displayed. If you wish to predefine buttons, follow the instructions in the Next steps section below.
