Hi All,

I am using D365 Finance and Operations (Update 11) version. I want to add a body to invoice emails being sent from the system. I have read some helpful links and am trying to replicate the method mentioned in https://organicax.com/2014/11/26/adding-message-body-text-to-email-destination-for-reports/, but I am facing a lot of issues as I am unable to understand how to add the backend code in D365 FO , for the form. Can anyone please guide me through this ?

Hi Luthful, please separate tags with comma, individual words with spaces and don't prefix tags with #. You attached a single long tag #Email #AttachBody #D365FO #Customization, which clearly wasn't your intention.

This actually helped and the emails are going with a body. But unfortunately I am unable to add the attachment. The main purpose was an invoice email should go along with the generated attachment and a body. Can you help me there ?

Can you please elaborate what you mean by "unable to add the attachment"? If you construct the message by yourself using SysMailerMessageBuilder class, you can use its methods addAttachment() and addAttachmentFromFile(). Do you have any problem with it?

Note that I thought your question was about e-mails created automatically when you print reports with print destination = email, not about sending e-mails by yourself.

Hi Martin ,

I think I may have composed the main question in an unclear manner. I will explain the situation here :

after invoicing a sales order , an email containing the generated invoice as an attachment is sent out to different emails which are defined in print management system settings. This email contains only the email header and the attached invoice. We need to add a body to the same email. So the final product should be : Email containing header + body + pdf of the generated invoice. And I wanted to do the same using print management because the setup of sending out emails is already done in the environment.

If I use addAttachment() I have to provide the a specific file link there and it will not help as different pdf's are generated everytime and i cannot specify a path.

I hope I have made the situation clear :)

Then I don't understand how the code helped you. It's for sending e-mails from your code, which isn't related to your requirement. You want to use the normal logic for sending reports via email (which handles attaching the report) and you merely want to change the body; you don't want to reimplement the whole sending logic.

Therefore you should simply change the body through SrsReportEMailDataContract.parmBody(). Here is an example:

SrsReportRunController controller = new SrsReportRunController(); controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(SysUserRoleInfo, Report)); controller.parmShowDialog(false); SRSPrintDestinationSettings settings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings(); settings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::Email); settings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF); settings.fileName('SysUserRoleInfo.pdf'); // Here we configure the email SrsReportEMailDataContract emailContract = new SrsReportEMailDataContract(); emailContract.parmTo("user@example.com"); emailContract.parmSubject("Security report"); emailContract.parmBody("Hi there! Here is your report."); settings.parmEMailContract(emailContract); controller.startOperation();

Hi Martin,

Your code was really helpful for sending email with ssrs report as attachment, but in my case attachment is going as .csv it is not taking .pdf as extension even after specifying SysUserRoleInfo.pdf attachment in email is coming as SysUserRoleInfo.pdf.csv in D365 for finance and operations.

Request you to please help me with the same.

Hi,

It worked, just added one line code in above provided code and it solved my problem.

emailContract.parmAttachmentFileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);

Thank you
