When Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations was released the POS functions in a Single Architecture where Store POS is connected directly to Azure in Real Time .Later on after multiple research from Microsoft Understood there are retailers who works in Offline Mode where Internet connectivity is Weak. The Outcome of the research has made to work on Retail Store Scale Unit which enables the retailers to make the Modern POS work in Offline and Cloud POS for Each Store.Now each retailer can choose the Architecture based on the business needs and Purpose To Deploy the Multiple Architecture Microsoft has released Retail Store Scale unit .What does RSSU Address?Retail Store Scale Unit is targeted towards Retailers who Want to use Dynamics 365 Operations Cloud based Solution ,but at the same time have the infrastructure challenges beyond their control to remain always Connected to the Head Quarters,like weak internet Speed in different locations of the Store ,Frequent Disconnects,Different Verticals of stores.

1. Different Architecture Topology for Dynamics 365 Retail

2. Different Types of Topology
1. Cloud Only Architecture : This Type of Architecture is used by Retailers who has very strong internet
connectivity where there is no disturbance in transactions
2. Cloud Only With Hardware Stations:This architecture is same as Previous Topology but with the
Hardware stations attached to the POS
3. Cloud Only With Hardware Station and Offline Capabilities:This Architecture is for the Retailers Who
wish to use the POS Offline capabilities but with a Single Store Database in Cloud
4. Retail Store Scale Unit with Offline and Local Hardware capabilities:This Architecture is mostly fit for
the hypermarket and Supermarket Scenarios where always a Connectivity is a major factor to be
considered

3. So Based on the Retail store scale Unit ,Value Propositions are
1. Provides Business Continuity and reduced latency
2. Perform Cross terminal operation scenarios Without HQ connectivity
3. Channel DB and Retail Server that can be Co Located in Single location
4. Browser based Cloud POS and MPOS with Offline
5. Simple Flexible deployment using Self Service Package
6. Service to Service Authentication through Https between Retail Store and HQ
