Connect E-Documents to external access points
To begin your setup, follow the steps in E-document core app. After you complete those steps, return to this article and complete the following steps:
- Select the
icon, enter E-Document Services, and then select the related link. - In the Service Integration field, select one of the integration codes that are offered for the endpoint service setup.
- Select Setup Service Integration.
You can use E-Documents in Business Central to send and receive electronic documents with your business partners. To receive documents, you need to connect E-Documents to an external access point that handles the communication and validation of the documents.
Note
These connections require communication with external service providers who might be subject to additional payment and require contracts with them. To obtain all the necessary credentials, contact the service providers.
The steps to connect E-Documents to an external access point depend on the type of connector you choose.
Note
Ask your service provider for all the necessary details to establish a connection with their access point that follows.
Pagero service
On the E-Document External Connection Setup page, select the Open OAuth 2.0 setup action to open the OAuth 2.0 Setup page.
On the OAuth 2.0 setup page, select the Request Authorization Code action. You're redirected to the external service authorization webpage and prompted for your sign-in details.
Copy the authorization code into the Enter Authorization Code field.
Select Refresh Access Token to make sure that you can refresh the token.
On the E-Document External Connection Setup page, fill in the following fields:

Available service providers
At this moment, Business Central supports Pagero and Avalara access points for e-documents, but more access points are in the process of development. This page is updated with the parameters for new connectors when they're ready. You can also find more connectors on AppSource.
Note
This page doesn't show how to connect with the local service providers. If Business Central support some of them, it will be explained in the country-specific documentation.
Microsoft doesn't have a contractual obligation with Pagero and Avalara. That means, if you want to use their connectors, you must have a contract with them.
