Hi Dynamics Community,
I need to export PDF-files that are attached to objects created by a third party solution provider. They are stored in Document Management for their tables. They have not created a DMF entity for these attachments.
There is an attachment export in D365 Finance and Operations, however it only exports attachments to attachments in the export table. So I don't see much point of this solution. There is a DMF entity for this attachment export, however it only exports the settings of the export, not the attachments. As far as I could see.
I have found there is an ability to export attachments using Electronic Reporting. They then become embedded in the created XML-format. I have not experimented with other export formats.
So, has anyone had a similar issue? Any suggestions on how to move forward with this? It seems to me as the currently easiest solution may be to reuse the functionality I found for exporting notes using Electronic Reporting and create a new report for this type of attachment. Or for any type of attachment, preferably. Maybe there already is an ER report for export of attachments, but I couldn't find one.
