Automatically Explode BOM in Sales order

Posted on 2 May 2023 12:35:42 by 12

Hello,

we have the Shopify connector integrated into our Business Central instance, which allows our customers to create sales orders themselves. On some items, we have to explode the BOM before continuing with the fulfillment.

Is there any way to set up perhaps a Microsoft Flow, to automatically check all lines in a new sales order and try to explode them since going through each sales order manually and checking if there are BOMs to explode takes up a lot of time.

Thanks in advance

    You need to make it customized then try to contact your partner they will make it auto-explode.

    they can use two approaches :

    1.) Create the Explode Bom Functionality in Custom Codeunit for all the listed Sales orders at once and run the Codeunit by Job queues and you can set the Frequency of the job queue as per your requirement i.e. once a day or frequently.

    2.) They can customize the Explode Bom Action to be Autorun by AL code after creating each line in a Sales order or each document whatever the feasible.

    I've tried it with Power Automate, but I can't find a function for exploding BOMs.

    Need to customize this functionality with AL code or you can try the Power Automate as well.
