LS Central provides functionality for Product Level Blocking (PLB) and Cashless Debit Card (CDC) transaction reporting on top of the Australian version of Business Central.

Product Level Blocking is used at the POS to identify restricted items in a basket whenever the shopper pays with a CDC. Restricted items must be removed (or paid for with a different tender) before the CDC payment can be approved. Transaction data is then uploaded to the Australian Government's Central Platform for reporting and audit.

For general information about the Australian version of Business Central, see Australia Local Functionality (Microsoft Learn).
