New or changed functionality
| Functional area | Description | ID |
|---|---|---|
| Documents and Templates | You can now create custom HTML templates for payment links embedded in emails. The templates support merge fields for payment information from standard Business Central Payment Services and allow inclusion of inline images and branding. This enables a more professional and consistent payment experience while ensuring alignment with your company’s visual identity across all payment communications. | 71929 |
| Documents and Templates | The Fallback to Email option on the output profile now works with the new eDocuments flow. When enabled, the system checks whether the recipient is registered in the CDN network before sending. If the recipient is not found, the document is automatically sent by email instead of failing with an error. | 73365 |
| Documents and Templates | A confirmation dialog now appears when sending documents, and it shows the output profile (or “multiple selection”), the selected sending method, and the number of documents being sent. DO Setup now includes Hide Send Action Confirmation to suppress the dialog box. | 74870 |
| Documents and Templates | A new feature module, Enhanced Continia eDocuments, has been introduced. When enabled, this feature replaces the legacy XML Export functionality in Document Output (DO) with the more modern and flexible eDocuments Framework. A new Sender Profile code has been added as a replacement for Document Output's eDocument send code feature. Sender profiles contain all the information required to send electronic documents. For more details, see: Summary of changes to the sales eBilling flow from 2026 R1 | 74978 |
| Documents and Templates | The setup for hiding and showing standard Send actions on pages was previously managed through DO Setup and did not support configuration per category. A new Send Actions Visibility setup with categories and options to hide standard Email, Print, and the Document Output group is now available, with upgrade code that moves existing settings to the new setup. | 75012 |
| General Application | Role Centers that use Document Output have been refactored, and the queues are now separated into their own page to avoid showing them twice. A new Document Queue section now shows the status of documents being sent, printed, or downloaded, and a new Continia Delivery Network section shows the status of outgoing eDocuments, including failed deliveries for easier follow-up actions. | 71286 |
| General Application | The Document Output setup pages have been simplified and improved. Fields are now organized using toggles and conditional visibility, while legacy fields have been hidden to reduce visual clutter. | 72389 |
| General Application | You can now access Document Output menu options directly from the Account Receivables Administrator Role Center, including customer statements, unhandled sales documents, customer cards, and Document Output setup. This improves workflow efficiency for receivables management tasks. | 72937 |
| General Application | Added an OnBeforeGetOutputProfile event publisher to the GetOutputProfile method, enabling custom output profile selection logic based on location, dimensions, or other criteria. You can override the default customer/vendor-based lookup by setting IsHandled, while existing behavior remains unchanged when no subscribers exist. | 74221 |
| General Application | Participation management on the Continia Delivery Network Participation page has been extended with new actions that provide greater flexibility when onboarding and off-boarding participations. Two new actions, Get pre-existing participations and Delete, have been added under Actions > Management. The previous Delete action has been renamed to Suspend and remains available in the same location on the action bar. The following actions are now available:
| 74304 |
| General Application | When copying a company in Business Central, all participation-related data is now removed from the newly created company, ensuring a clean database without duplicates. | 74309 |
| General Application | Test capabilities for eDocuments and Continia Delivery Network have been enhanced to support more flexible and realistic testing scenarios. Onboarding and document exchange can now be tested in sandbox and on-premises environments without being restricted to test mode, including integration with external test networks. Test mode handling has been simplified and centralized in Continia eDocuments Setup, ensuring consistent behavior for participation creation, lifecycle management, and visibility. Additional improvements include the ability to upload XML files directly to the Continia Inbound Documents page for testing purposes, as well as clearer separation of test and production data. | 74489 |
| General Application | The email compose and preview experience has been redesigned with a modern interface that aligns with standard email layouts, delivering a more intuitive, streamlined, and user-friendly experience. | 75148 |
| Platform and Technology | The Shared Access Signature (SAS) and Microsoft Entra ID authentication types have been added as configuration options to the Azure Blob Storage document storage type in the Document Output Setup page. For more information, see Setting up Azure Blob Storage. | 73309 |
| Platform and Technology | Support for custom URLs (private endpoints) has been added as a configuration option to the Azure Blob Storage document storage type in the Document Output Setup page. For more information, see Setting up Azure Blob Storage. | 74702 |
| eDocuments | The eCandidates functionality has been enhanced with several improvements.
| 69665 |
| eDocuments | Configuration of participation and electronic format on the Customer Card, Vendor Card, Continia eDocuments Customer Setup, and Continia eDocuments Vendor Setup pages has been updated. Instead of selecting values in the Electronic Format and Send From Participation fields, configuration is now handled through the new Sender Profile field. The Electronic Format and Send From Participation fields remain available as non-editable information fields, reflecting the values defined in the selected sender profile. Selecting the Sender Profile field opens the Sender Profiles page, where electronic format and sender information are maintained. This page can also be accessed directly through search. | 74600 |
| eDocuments | The eDocuments XML structures have been updated to align with Document Output's XML export formats for OIOUBL invoice and credit note exports. For more information, see XML structure changes in Document Capture 2026 R1 (only available to partners). | 74877 |
Bug fixes
| Functional area | Description | ID |
|---|---|---|
| Documents and Templates | When using merge fields %4 (last statement code) and %7 (next statement code) in customer statement templates, statement numbers were inconsistent between the generated file name and the email body. Statement numbers now remain consistent across document outputs by using session-based merge field caching. | 66858 |
| Documents and Templates | When sending documents using templates that merge many/large PDF attachments, the queue stopped and documents were not sent when the merged file exceeded the size limit, causing the following error:
| 73008 |
| General Application | When you clicked No in the Post and Send/Print confirmation dialog for service invoices, service credit memos, and service orders, the document was still sent or printed. The document is now only sent when posting is confirmed and successfully completed. | 72982 |
| General Application | When using email templates with a specific report ID configured, request pages could appear during write transactions. This has now been fixed, and the IsInWriteTransaction() check is applied consistently across all report execution paths. | 74254 |
| General Application | Previously, when opening a posted purchase invoice or credit memo, the following error could occur:
| 75306 |
| eDocuments | Previously, when importing the OIOUBL XML structure configuration, related network profiles had to be mapped manually. Without this mapping, exporting eDocuments could fail. Network profiles are now automatically mapped to the XML structures during import. | 75968 |
