(SWE) Set up parameters for a control unit in Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail POS

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3

This topic explains how to set up the parameters that are required for a control unit to register transactions that are completed by a cash register. A control unit is a device that processes data from receipts that are generated by a cash register. The control unit produces a digital signature called the control code that is used to validate the integrity of the receipt data. You can store the receipt information in the control unit and print the receipts at the retail point of sale (POS).
