WARNINGS:
- Vantiv/Worldpay users should be aware installing SP4 prevents credit card voids (you must refund the transaction instead).
- 'Item is not discountable at POS' option in Item Properties does NOT work with SP4 unless subsequent hot fix is installed.
- Service Manager v1.0 users must upgrade to v1.1 to avoid 'Ambiguous column' error.
Update 4/15/11: There have been numerous problem reports regarding performance issues after FP1+SP4 is installed. As a result, SP4 Refresh is scheduled to be released soon.
Feature Pack 1 (FP1) for RMS 2.0 users is available. However, FP1 must be installed with Service Pack 4 and MS Fixit 50537 for FP1. You may also need to apply hot fixes or a SQL script after upgrading if POS transaction processing is slow. For this reason, make sure to file an MS support incident before upgrading your system.
This feature pack is cumulative and contains all service packs and hot fixes previously released for RMS 2.0. The feature pack can be installed on any version of Microsoft RMS 2.0. See the Readme.txt file for instructions on preparing your system prior to installing the update.
DO NOT BLINDLY INSTALL THE FEATURE PACK WITHOUT READING THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST.
For a list of new features in Feature Pack 1, click here. For a list of hot fixes and services packs released for RMS 2.0, click here. You can file a support request to receive the required service packs, feature packs, and hot fixes.
WARNING: New features such as GMROI/turnover reports, sales order info, and inventory valuation only work moving forward from date of upgrade. These features DO NOT work on your current historical data unless you run the MS Fixit utility to populate the new tables with historical data. You must also immediately install Service Pack 4 after installing FP1. This resolves errors with opening purchase orders on multiple PCs and issues with slow performance.*
Follow the instructions to install this update -- Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System 2.0 Feature Pack 1 (v.2.0.0150) -- then install Service Pack 4 (SP4 Refresh, not original version issued before 5/2/11), then all hot fixes to date, then upgrade your RMS database (and any offline databases if applicable), then run MS Fixit 50537 for FP1, then reload receipt templates in Manager (especially X report) and edit templates as necessary (if previously customized).
*The delay viewing items in the Content tab of PO's can be diminished by enabling "Hide Details by default" in Manager, File, Configuration, Options, Purchase Order options. Keep in mind that means crippling this new function (view item stats when reordering).

Step by step instructions are also posted to our self-service knowledge base under the Downloads sections.
If you have not already installed RMS 2.0, make sure to follow our step-by-step instructions from the Self-Service Center or visit the DRS Support center for assistance.
WARNING: DRS add-ins such as Service Manager will require an update to run with Feature Pack 1. Only Service Manager v.1.1 is supported with FP1. See Service Manager, About, About to confirm what version is running now. If you rely on this add-in, make sure your DRS maintenance plan is current before upgrading to FP1 so you can install v1.1. Otherwise, Service Manager will display "ambiguous column name" error when running certain procedures after upgrading to FP1.
WARNING: You cannot install FP1/SP4 with MSDE (Microsoft SQL Desktop Engine). You must be running SQL 2005 Express or higher. You should upgrade SQL before installing FP1/SP4.
