Business Central – Create E-Docs from Posted Sales Invoices

Electronic documents (e-documents) are documents such as invoices and receipts in both directions, delivery, and receipt. Using e-documents requires some configuration, and sometimes things go wrong. If there was a problem when you posted sales documents and Business Central didn’t create e-documents for them, you can generate new e-documents from the posted documents. For example, generating related e-documents can help you stay compliant with local or industry requirements.

From April 2025, if there is a problem with your setup for e-documents, and Business Central didn’t create a related e-document when you posted a sales invoice, for example, you can quickly create one 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, you can run the Create New E-Document action to generate one based on the workflow rules. If a related e-document does exist, you can’t use the action.
