Hi Team,

I am going to receive invoice PDF via API from Business Central, but BC returns the error message.
I use the cloud version of Business Central.

Example of the request:

https:/api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/api/v2.0/companies(111e9e8a-5177-ee11-817e-6045bdc893e2)/salesInvoices(f57ff210-c5af-ee11-a568-000d3a0b28bf)/pdfDocument/pdfDocumentContent

Response:

{

/error/: {

/code/: /RequestDataInvalid/,

/message/: /Request data is invalid./

}

}

What is the reason of this issue and how to fix it?

Also, I added web services:

I used this documentation - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/api-reference/v2.0/api/dynamics_salesquote_pdfdocument

So, my request is

https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/api/v2.0/companies(111e9e8a-5177-ee11-817e-6045bdc893e2)/salesInvoices(f57ff210-c5af-ee11-a568-000d3a0b28bf)/pdfDocument

But Business Central returns that the request is invalid.

{

    "error": {

        "code": "RequestDataInvalid",

        "message": "Request data is invalid."

    }

}

what is the reason of the issue and how I should fix it?

Hi, an attachment in the Business Central standard API is defined as an Incoming Document (table 130), not Document Attachment (table 1173).

I have used this standard API in Power Automate and hope it can give you some tips.
