Generating a URL to a Document in BC from an external application

Posted on by Ibu

I'm building a Power BI report presenting Customer Ledger Entries by their Document No. I would like to make those clickable to send the user to the Document in BC directly.

Is it possible to generically link to a document (of any "Document Type") and if so, what is the URL format?

I did find documentation on Web Client URL - Business Central | Microsoft Learn, though it isn't clear to me which parameters correspond to this use case (is it a page, a table, a query, ...?).

Hi,

I dropped the protocol from the begining of the url

businesscentral.dynamics.com/fe3e3fd0-xxxx-xxxx-9af5-52421afbd979/sandbox?company=CRONUS%20USA%2C%20Inc.&page=42&filter='Document Type' is 'Order' and 'No.' is 'S-ORD101002'&showparts=0&showribbon=0&shownavigation=0&isembedded=1

businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../sandbox Type' is 'Order' and 'No.' is 'S-ORD101002'&showparts=0&showribbon=0&shownavigation=0&isembedded=1

Thanks. Could you re-post the complete URL of your example? It seems like some characters were stripped out. The "'Type' is 'Order' and ..." part seems like the value to a query parameter but what's the query parameter name?

Hi,

You can use multiple filters to limit the view, if you want to embed the page in another app you could use something similar to -

businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../sandbox Type' is 'Order' and 'No.' is 'S-ORD101002'&showparts=0&showribbon=0&shownavigation=0&isembedded=1
