Business value
Before this feature was added, many Commerce localization features were delivered as part of the out-of-the-box product, but they had to be enabled using extension configuration files for corresponding Commerce components. This method of enabling required additional configuration steps. Some end-to-end localization solutions, such as various fiscal integration samples, were included in the Retail SDK and were required to be packaged with other customizations. The new feature provides the possibility to enable Commerce localization features from Commerce headquarters by using the feature management framework or parameters. Fiscal integration samples are included in the new Commerce SDK and support independent packaging, which reduces Commerce deployment, configuration, and maintenance efforts. This feature also enables the adoption of the Store Commerce app by global Commerce customers.
Feature details
With this new functionality, Commerce localization features are delivered either as end-to-end sample solutions included in the Commerce SDK on GitHub or included out-of-the-box in the core Commerce solution. In the latter case, you no longer need to enable Commerce localization features by using extension configuration files. You also no longer have to rebuild point of sale (POS) when enabling these features. Instead, you can enable the features from Commerce headquarters in the Feature management workspace, Commerce parameters page, functionality profiles, and more.
The features include:
- Localized audit events for Austria, France, and other countries or regions.
- Custom receipt fields for the Czech Republic, Germany, and other countries or regions.
- Localized end-of-day statements (X- and Z-Reports) for France, Norway, and other countries or regions.
- Localized customer information, such as tax registration ID or lottery code, for Brazil, India, and other countries or regions.
For end-to-end sample localization solutions included in the Commerce SDK, such as various fiscal integration samples, you can use the modern independent packaging and extension approach.
You can also use all Commerce localization features with the Store Commerce app.
Below is the timeline for Commerce localization features per country or region:
- Features for Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Poland, and Saudi Arabia were shipped in October 2022.
- Timeline for features for India, Brazil, Russia, and Sweden will be defined later.
