Posted on by Jan de Mul

I'm trying to perform the "receiveAndInvoice" action in a LogicApp flow. the action gives the following error.

"ErrorCode: Application_DialogException You need to enter the document number of the document from the vendor in the Vendor Invoice No. field, so that this document stays linked to the original. "

Hi there! Good morning, evening, or afternoon - depending on where you are :) Hope you are well today!

I am unable to open your file, however - here are some suggestions (and apologies if you've tried these already)

The error message indicates that the Vendor Invoice No. field is missing a value, which is required to link the document to the original vendor invoice.

Check the Input Data:

Ensure that the Vendor Invoice No. field is populated in the data being passed to the "receiveAndInvoice" action. This field is mandatory for the action to complete successfully.

Modify the LogicApp Flow:

Locate the step in your LogicApp where the "receiveAndInvoice" action is being called.

Add a step before this action to populate the Vendor Invoice No. field. You can use a dynamic value from a previous step or manually set a default value if appropriate.

Validate the Data Source:

If the data is coming from an external system (e.g., Dynamics 365 or another database), verify that the Vendor Invoice No. is being correctly retrieved and passed into the LogicApp.

Test the Flow:

After making the changes, test the LogicApp with sample data to ensure the issue is resolved and the action completes without errors.

Error Handling:

To prevent similar issues in the future, consider adding error-handling steps in your LogicApp. For example:

Use a Condition step to check if the Vendor Invoice No. field is empty before calling the "receiveAndInvoice" action.

If the field is empty, send a notification or log the error for further investigation.

Hi,

Can you please double to Check the data mapping: Review the LogicApp flow to ensure the "Vendor Invoice No." is correctly mapped from previous steps or dynamically populated.

Thanks

Hi, There seems to be something wrong with your screenshot, it would be best if you could re-upload it.

I have done the salesOrder-shipAndInvoice test of Sales Order in Power Automate, and it should be similar in Logic app.

Hope this can give you some hints.

Thanks.

I turned off the "Ext. Doc. No. Mandatory" option in the "Purchase & Payables Setup", It wasn't nessecary for the process and solved the issue.
