Vendor invoice business event

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 72

Hello,

I am using Power Automate so users can approve pending vendor invoices via e-mail. My problem is that the "Vendor invoice workflow () - Approve vendor invoice" business event contains only certain fields from Dynamics. For example it does not contain the Invoice number (Number). Can a developer extend the business event? Can I extend it as a consultant? What am I missing? What is your approach to this?

Thank you

Lukas

    Hi Lukas,

    Yes there is also a guidance on this from MS doc and I think it is rather clear, please check:

    Hello Alex, thank you very much. Do you have any idea why MS did not include basic fields such as Amount, Invoice number, Invoice date into the standard business events? There are not many useful elements which give the approver the right information.

    Events are intended to be very lightweight, which also means that they shouldn't load and transfer huge amounts of data.

    Consider making a request to F&O (via OData) when you receive an event and need extra details.

    Hi Martin,

    well I do not know how I would do that. In Power Automate I see a straight way to just adding the data in the business event so I can use them further down as Dynamic content. For example as you can see workflow ID

    There is an F&O connector that you can use for that.
