POS 2009 as an RMS 2.0 upgrade?

Question

A heads up to anyone who is planning on moving from RMS v2.0. You should first download an evaluation copy and load it to a computer that is not using your store's RMS. We have documented more than a dozen features in RMS that have been removed from pOS 2009. A few of these being;

-the field to put an item's weight

-the flag to denote item is available on the Web

-selecting items for sale in a matrix grid view Microsoft's documentation highlites the new and enhanced features, but does not note or address the commonly used features that have been removed.

Once you request the new POS 2009 license key you may be entitled to because you kept up your annual MS Foundation, your RMS key will not allow you to reload and re-license RMS.

A detailed list of fields not migrated from RMS to POS can be found in the in the help file for partner tools(partner tools being the set of tools that includes the data migration from RMS 2.0 to POS 3.0). Once partner tools are installed, you can locate the tools under to following path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics - Point of Sale\POSTools.chm

Then navigate to Microsoft RMS Migration Tools-->Appendix B: Migration details.

The partner tools(aka- Microsoft Dynamics POS 2009 Rapid Implementation Tools) are not publicly available. Parties interested in a list of the differences between POS 2009 and RMS 2.X, need to contact their RMS partner.
