Hi there,
What we need?:
An API for "Microsoft Dynamics Point Of Sale" application for 2 way communication between our Bespoke Application and the POS
Background:
We are currently in the process of architecting an enterprise solution for our clients. As a part of this solution we will need our system to integrate with various other external systems including some POS (Point Of Sale) applications. This effort needs to start off with one of our vendors, to whom we need to suggest a POS product which will fit their needs. We came to know about "Microsoft Dynamics Point Of Sale".
We need...
An API (Application Programming Interface) - either in the form of directly consumable libraries (preferably in .NET or COM/COM+), or through some standard interface like a Web Service. I earlier thought that the eConnect libraries will be sufficient but later found out that they are only for GP (Great Plains).
V. V. Important: We are also looking out for a facility of plugging-in some custom actions into MS POS which will run in response to certain transactional events. E.g. when a cashier on a counter of a departmental store enters the details of items bought by a customer, using the POS application, the application should be able to trigger an action to perform a custom activity like calling a specific Web Service.
We will appreciate if you could respond to us on this as soon as possible.
