Use documents to define which data you want to exchange and in which format and structure.
Each document is set up with the same basic structure. A document has a:
Header
In the document header, you define the general format settings in:Properties
Custom handler
Read settings
Write settings
Record layout settings
Line
In the document lines, you define the data model in:Records
Fields
Relations
Sorting
Ranges
When a document is used in a message run or when you test it, based on the document setup, a query is created that reads the data.
Document types
The available document types are explained, grouped by common format and purpose characteristics:
External documents - File based: Used to read data from or write data to files.
External documents - ODBC: Used to read or write data using a Database connection.
Internal documents: Used to read data from or write data to D365 F&SCM.
Using documents in message
Use a message to link and map a source document and a target document. A message to:
Read data from D365 F&SCM has an internal type document as source and an external type document as target.
Write data to D365 F&SCM has an external type document as source and an internal type document as target.
