Hello

The company I'm working with would like to implement expense management mobile app for D365FO but we don't want to enable dual-write because of various constraints. So we thought of creating our own Power app but we are stuck with what entity should be used to attach a picture/file so that it will be sent to D365FO. We just want to start with a basic Power App which sends the picture to D365FO and later on we want to add additional features to it. Can anyone please let me know what is the entity used to send the picture to D365FO from Power apps.

TIA

Hi @Chandra1234

Reconsider the expense management mobile app, as it does NOT require dual write.

The pre requisites are Virtual Entities (this is how EM read/writes with F&O), and enabling code components in Dataverse.

Please see the official docs here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/project-operations/expense/new-expense-mobile-app-install-and-configure

and my install guide here:

Thanks

Anthony
