Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3

Retail in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 supports call centers as a type of retail channel. In a call center, workers take orders from customers over the phone and create sales orders.

Call center functionality includes features that are designed to make it easier to take phone orders and handle customer service throughout the order fulfillment process. Call center workers can enter payment information directly into the sales order. Workers can also view a detailed summary of charges and payments before they submit the order. Workers have options for controlling pricing, and can access various data about customers, products, and prices from the sales order form. Call centers also have enhanced functionality for tracking customer history and order status.

You can use both the Call center and Retail modules to perform key setup and configuration tasks for call centers. You can also use the Call center module to perform ongoing management of call center data.
