LS Express is an app that extends Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with Point of Sale functionality for retail. In order to get LS Express, you first need an active Business Central tenant.

 

Log in to businesscentral.dynamics.com.

Get the LS Express app

From the Business Manager Role Center, search for Extension Marketplace.This will open up the AppSource Marketplace. In the search window, type in LS Express.

 

Tips: Make sure you select the correct LS Express app according to your region. Get the LS Express (NA) app if you are located in North America. All other countries use the LS Express app.

 

For more information on how to do that, see the Business Central documentation here.

 

After adding the LS Express extension, a notification will display in the Business Manager role center, where the assisted setup can be accessed directly.

 

The point of sale cannot be used until the setup process has been completed.

 

Once the extension is installed, a notification is visible in the Business Manager role center, and a new list item is available in the Assisted Setup list called "Set Up LS Express". This must be run before LS Express can be run.

    Change to the LS Express Role Center

    After the installation is finished, a new Role Center will be added to your BC tenant. To operate the LS Express Point of Sale, you need to switch to the new LS Express Point of Sale - Sales Associate Role Center. All actions are running from the role center, and all users intending to use the Point of Sale system must choose this role center.

     

    For more information about how to change the role center, see the Dynamics 365 documentation here.

     

    Note: Users that are non-administrators, such as "business" users, cannot use the system unless LS Express permissions are added.
