Business value

Electronic documents (e-documents) include documents such as invoices and receipts for directions, delivery, and receipt. Using e-documents requires some configuration, and sometimes things go wrong. If a problem occurs when you post sales documents and Business Central doesn't create e-documents for them, you can generate new e-documents from the posted documents. For example, generating related e-documents helps you stay compliant with local or industry requirements.

Feature details

If there's a problem with your setup for e-documents, and Business Central doesn't create a related e-document when you post a sales invoice, for example, you can quickly create the e-document yourself. To check whether Business Central created an e-document, open the Posted Sales Invoice page and select the Open E-Document action. If you don't find a related e-document, run the Create New E-Document action to generate one based on the workflow rules. If a related e-document exists, you can't use the action.
