Retailers operating across multiple regions often face challenges with distance unit consistency in Dynamics 365 Commerce. By default, distances in points of sale are hard-coded to miles, regardless of the store's locale. This limitation can cause confusion for customers in metric-based countries and lead to operational miscommunication across international teams.
This feature introduces automatic distance unit display in Store Commerce, ensuring values are presented in the correct format for each legal entity. Distances are determined by the registered country address of the legal entity. For example, kilometers in metric countries and miles in non-metric countries.
The setting is enabled by default and requires no per-entity configuration. Conversion is centrally managed in the Dynamics 365 Commerce runtime, providing a seamless and consistent experience across all regions.
Business Value:
Automatic, locale-aware distance units in Store Commerce reduce customer confusion and prevent operational miscommunication by displaying distances in the correct format for each legal entity. By aligning point-of-sale distance values with regional standards, retailers can deliver a more intuitive customer experience and support smoother collaboration across global teams.
