Is it possible to delete old Notification Entries?

Posted on by ScwB

For some reason, old notification entries were not cleared after the related records were approved. Now those old notifications are being resent every single time a new notification event occurs. E.g., when a new purchase invoice or GL approval is sent out, the notification email includes a list of the old notifications that say the record was approved. This only occurs in one of our BC companies, and I've traced it do these old notifications still showing in the Notification Entries page. Within our other BC companies, the Notification Entries page is either blank or only shows currently actionable notifications. There's no feature to delete the entries after selecting them, so I'm trying to find an alternative approach to clear them out. Any thoughts? This is occurring on BC on cloud v26.3.

This is not possible with standard Business Central the Notification Entries page does not allow deletion. However, you can achieve it with a small AL codeunit that has delete permission on table 1511 "Notification Entry".

codeunit 50100 "Clear Notification Entries" { Permissions = tabledata "Notification Entry" = d; trigger OnRun() var NotificationEntry: Record "Notification Entry"; begin if NotificationEntry.FindSet() then repeat NotificationEntry.Delete(); until NotificationEntry.Next() = 0; end; }

Hello,

There’s no option to delete them in the UI, a customization is required for example, a small AL routine to mark those entries as handled.

Hope this answer will help you as well!

Not out of the Box for sure.

If you want to customize just make sure this data you never need for any auditing.

Is it possible to delete old Notification Entries?

Hi,

In Business Central (v26.3 cloud), Notification Entries are typically managed by the system and aren't designed to be manually deleted through the UI. However, if old entries persist and are being resent with new notifications, this could indicate a data inconsistency or a workflow issue specific to that company setup.

Here are a few suggestions you might consider:

Check Notification Setup: Review the notification rules and workflow configurations for the affected company. Ensure that completed approvals are not being retriggered due to misconfigured conditions.

Use PowerShell or API: If deletion is necessary, and you're comfortable with technical tools, you might explore using PowerShell scripts or the Business Central API to remove stale entries. This should be done with caution and ideally in consultation with your partner or Microsoft support.

Contact Support: Since this behavior is isolated to one company and not reproducible in others, it may be worth raising a support ticket with Microsoft. They can help investigate whether this is a known issue or if a backend cleanup is required.

Please verify if this helps resolve your issue.

Thanks and best regards,

Daniele

In standard BC cloud there’s no UI option to delete old Notification Entries

options are either to build a small AL cleanup report against table 1511 Notification Entry or raise a support ticket with Microsoft if they can do something.

As far as I know, the Notification Entry (1511) table, like the GL Entry table, cannot be directly deleted. This requires customization. I hope the following information can give you some tips.

Dynamics 365 Business Central: Can we insert/modify/delete posted data (Posted Documents & Posted Entries) via AL???
