Business value

When you send an electronic document, such as an invoice, you can attach the document as a PDF, which enhances transactional transparency and streamlines auditing processes to increase efficiency and reduce potential disputes.

Feature details

Before this release, you could create E-Document files (for example, in the Peppol BIS 3 format) when you post sales documents. You could only send this e-document file to the electronic document service provider. The Peppol BIS 3 format includes the possibility to include attachments as encoded objects within the XML file.

In this release, you can include PDF attachments with the electronic document and Business Central can encode it in the XML file (alongside invoices or credit notes) when you send documents to various end points.
