Power Automate for document attachments not working for Purchase Order attachments

Posted on by 15

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365-release-plan/2022wave2/smb/dynamics365-business-central/power-apps-power-automate-support-document-attachments

"The new capability of the connector allows for easy access to document attachments (for instance, an original order request linked as a PDF to a sales order), related record media (for instance, images linked to items) and other data linked to business records. "

I've tried doing this with document attachments on Purchase Orders, but it doesn't seem to work as I expected. Even getting the system IDs manually and plugging them into the PA action doesn't seem to work.

Here's the system ID of the attachment

Here's the system ID of the Purchase Order

I set up the simplest test that I could in Power Automate:

But I get an error "Resource Not found"

Does anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Have I just misunderstood what this update is capable of?

    Yes, the examples that you have (item picture, PI PDF) both work for me as well.  It's this particular path with the Purchase Order document attachments (table 1173) that I can't get to work correctly.  The ODATA Path I'm looking at is  "purchaseOrders/attachment/attachmentContent"

    Thanks.  I don't have any issue with the item picture.  That one works exactly as expected.  The issue just comes down to attachments on things like Purchase Orders.
