Dynamics 365 Business Central: Document Sending Profile (Post and Send…? & Post and Print…?)

Dynamics 365 Business Central

Hi readers.
Yesterday, a partner asked me, is it possible to print orders while posting in Business Central? For example, Sales orders, because sales staff may forget to print the document when posting. Yes, what they wants is the Post and Print function. If you have the experience of Dynamic NAV, you might know this button.

For example:
Dynamics NAV 2015
Sales Order list: Post and Print…

Sales Order Card: Post and Print…

The “Post and Print…” action was removed since Dynamics NAV 2017, it has been replaced by a new “Post and Send…” function which allows you to do more things by configuring specific Document Sending Profile.

Dynamics NAV 2017: Post and Send…

Business Central: Post and Send…

If you choose Post and Send… on Sales Order page, Do you want to post and send the document? dialog box will be opened. And The default setting of Send Document to is Disk(PDF).

If you continue to post, the report will be automatically downloaded to the local disk after completion.

So, can we change it back to the Post and Print function?
Of course.

1. Enter Document Sending Profiles, and then choose the related link.

2. On the Document Sending Profiles page, choose the New action.

3. Fill in the fields as necessary. Hover over a field to read a short description.

4. Enter Customers, and then choose the related link.

5. Open the card of the customer who you want to set up a sending profile for.

6. Choose Show more in General tab.

7. In the Document Sending Profile field, select a profile that you have set up as described in the previous procedure.

Now the setting of Send Document to is Printer.
