RE: ParentID for attachments

Hello the correct syntax for retrieving attachments is as follows:

https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/TenantID/environmentName/api/v2.0/companies(companyId)/attachments?$filter=parentId eq SYSTEMID and parentType eq 'RECORDTYPE'

RECORDTYPE can take these values:

" "

Journal

Sales Order

Sales Quote

Sales Credit Memo

Sales Invoice,

Purchase Invoice

Purchase Order

SYSTEMID is relative to the record that has attachments (e.g. the systemid of a Sales Invoice, a Journal)....

RE: ParentID for attachments

are you sure the attachment is in the right section? this API reads table 130, not 1173.
Check which section your document has the attachment in.

If it is not in the indicated section, you can upload it via the appropriate action:

RE: ParentID for attachments

in the v22 release of Business Central it is possible to obtain the attachment of table 1173 with this call:

api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../salesInvoices

up to release v21 you can only have expand=attachments (table 130)

if you want to get all attachments in table 1173 , you can use the call:
