Sending sales invoice through BizTalk

Hi,

Would it be possible to send an invoice in PEPPOL format to a BizTalk server?

And if so, how?

So far I have found no clear answer for how to do this using NAV. There is a possible solution using AX with AIF.

Would it be easier to rather use AX, considering the cost of setup/licenses?

Our requirements:

Create an invoice in NAV -> Send invoice to BizTalk in PEPPOL format -> BizTalk converts invoice into custom XML format -> BizTalk sends invoice over AS/2 channel.

Thanks

Basically, NAV can make export in any imaginable format, including PEPPOL. Definitely, the cost of implementing AX would be higher than having NAV and developing the needed export.

Then, why do you want BizTalk to convert the file into XML? Why don't you want to make export from NAV already in needed XML format (which is totally possible), so BizTalk would just send the needed file?

To me it is much easier just to develop an export from NAV to needed XML format, skipping PEPPOL totally, if you do not have a specific reason for the opposite. If you have XSD scheme of the needed XML export, it should be not a problem.

for creating xml files you can use xmlports in dynamics nav. it's quite easy to handle.

to create complex xml formats is also no problem, can be done programmatically or use one of the third party edi addins (edifact formats), e.g. https://www.anveonav.com/en/dynamics-nav-edi-x12-edifact/

Thanks for the answers.

I have decided to use NAV for the XML conversion as well.

Regarding sending the invoice to BizTalk using the Data Exchange framework. How would I set that up? Are there any resources available specific to NAV and BizTalk setup? All I could find was resources for setting up the framework to work with an existing Document Exchange Service like Tradeshift.

I did some reading on Data Exchange framework but could not find a way to send the invoice to the BizTalk server.

I did also setup Document Exchange Service but could find no method to integrate with the BizTalk server. Am I missing something or does it require a custom CodeUnit?

Thanks in advance.
