This post is part of the New Functionality In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2 series in which I am taking a look at the new functionality introduced in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central 2024 Wave 2.
The 11th of the new functionality in the Application section is add invoice and receipt documents to e-documents in bulk.
The e-documents framework in Business Central is the cornerstone for exchanging electronic documents and the import and export of data that supports operations and finances. In this release wave, it’s easier for people in accounts payable to import invoices and receipt documents so they can work with them. This speeds up total processing time and ensures a single point of entry for overhead invoices or other documents that use the e-documents framework.

Feature Details
Today, you can import e-documents manually, and only one at a time. In this release, Microsoft have extended the e-documents framework to handle the import of multiple files, and importing them from a SharePoint folder. These capabilities drastically decrease the time it takes to import e-documents.
This feature is part of an enrichment of accounts payable scenarios for core bookkeeping. Microsoft are streamlining the processes for bookkeepers and accountants end-to-end, so they can be faster and more precise
My Opinion
It would seem good that Microsoft are extending the e-documents functionality and allowing bulk updates, but it would be nice to have an option for OneDrive for Business rather than just SharePoint.
