Help Configuring Sharepoint Document Handling Menu Paths for Attachments - D365 F&O

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Context** This is prior to go live migration from AX2012R3 to D365 F&O. I have been able to successfully configure the file type to upload an attachment to the desired storage solution, Sharepoint, Blob Storage, etc. 

In my case I want to use Sharepoint since we have a lot of company related documents stored here. What I have found is it is easy to create a new File Type for an attachment an point the upload location to a specific Sharepoint Document Library of Folder. The challenge is the ERP will just "dump" all the files into the Sharepoint document library and it isn't very organized from the back end. If I move the file from one folder to another after upload I will lose the file in D365, it doesn't recognize that the file has been moved. (Okay not a huge deal). That said I still cannot edit a file path in D365 once it has been uploaded, or be able to browse the "upload" file path at the time of uploading. Anyone have any suggestions?

The goal is to be able to access documents/attachments from the back end Sharepoint document libraries and folders to be able to bulk download or edit accordingly. Ex. We might want to pull all of our Vendors Packing Slip documents for review vs. going through each PO one by one. We might have a specification sheet on multiple Product Masters that require the same modification to their word document and can bulk edit.

Anyways is anyone using Sharepoint for their document storage in D365 F&O and if so have you been able to configure any advancements to the standard configuration for better backend filing and organization in the document libraries?

Thank you! ps. I would classify myself as a user and not a developer.

    Hi SajunVins,

    Why you have to move the file from one folder to another after upload it from D365FO, this is not a standard operation.

    You could explore Power automate and Logic Apps. There must be connectors to fetch a file from sharepoint and pass it to D365FO.

    There are lot of example on the web, please see the blog to use LogicApps to scan a Sharepoint folder and send the file to D365FO.

    If you have developers, you could also use the REST API provided by Sharepoint to retrieve all of the files in a sharepoint, and it can be called from D365FO. I think customization can meet your needs better.

    Hi, I am trying to do something very similar where I work, although the other direction.  We are looking for a solution that uses Sharepoint as the document storage for an Vendor Invoice, once it has been scanned and attached to a Vendor Invoice posting.

    I have been trying to search for someone that has written up step-by-step instructions on how to set up the Power automate/Logic App (whichever is best for this) with Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations over to Sharepoint (with any config that needs to done in here as well), but I have not found the whole solution.

    I wondered if you had any luck with your solution and would be willing to share any knowledge with me please?

    Many thanks

    I had developers write custom code to allow us to change the File location Sharepoint address/URL after the file was initially updated. Our User will upload the file in D365 then click on the file location to access Sharepoint. They will then move the file to the desired file/Sharepoint location. They will copy the new File URL and past this as the "new" Sharepoint file location and D365 F&O updates

    Its very tedious but does the job for now. I will work on fixing this in the future but no time with our ERP Launch as of 01-Jan-2021. (Ps. Found a huge issue with D365 Picking List Registration that is up for Hot Fix but MS is way too slow fixing).... Cant believe how many functions from AX are broken or lost in D365! Hopefully Microsoft improves this D365 F&O soon!
