Import an XML File as an incoming document

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by SaidBRK 25
Hello everyone,
I need to allow BC to read a specific format of an Xml file (an invoice) as an incoming document, but I'm lost between the different settings and definitions (xmlPort, codeUnit, etc...). Does anyone have a procedure or a tutorial to do this?
Thanks for your help,
I am a beginner and I use the latest version in Cloud

    Hello Steve,

    Thank you for your feedback which helped me a lot, indeed with the 1st tutorial you just have to replace the CSV by the XML and it's done.

    Thanks again and if I have any information on my side, I will not hesitate to share it here

    Hi,

    Based on some initial searches, I'm not finding a comprehensive guide, but found a few items.

    Here is a blog post from Yun Zhu, but it looks like his import example is CSV:

    It looks like there is a section on XMLport in this BC dev book:

    Here is a video by Erik Hougaard with some alternatives to XMLport, and it looks like he codes the solutions:
