Add link to attachment in external ERP

Question

We have an ERP where scanned documents are stored.

The link to a documents comes in the format localhost:8080/doc/PONo=121212

We would like this link to be dynamically used on Navision in a Purchase Order workflow. For example when the document is attached to the ERP using the PO No. 121212 and the same number is filled as a field in Navision, then a link with the format localhost:8080/doc/PONo={PONo} should take you to the ERP; where {PONo} is selected from Navision.

Answer 1

Not quite sure that I understood your requirement. But from what if the goal is to Navigate from NAV to that external ERP it can be achieved.

Just create a text variable or read from a setup(if any) the general link to your ERP. So you will get a link in the following format localhost:8080/doc/PONo=%1. On validate of a required field or OnAction use STRSUBSTNO to substitute %1 with your PO number. After the link is ready and updated you can use something like HYPERLINK(STRSUBSTNO(LinkTxt,PurchaseHeader."External Document No.")) or whatever field contains the Document No. in your other ERP.
