Finding Documents and Entries Efficiently in Dynamics 365 Business Central


One of the top features we love about Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Wave 1 release is the Find Entries feature. It has been available on most pages that display posted document or document entries, but now it's also available on all Role Centers.

Business Value: Getting a fast answer to a customer on the status of an order, quickly finding a vendor invoice's due date based on the invoice number, or tracking down a purchase order for an item based on its serial number are of utmost importance in today's fast-paced world.

In the Find Entries tab, you will see the three features: Search for Documents, Search for Business Contact, and Search for Item Reference. When looking for records that resulted from a certain transaction, you can pick between these three.

For the example, using the Search for Business Contact feature requires you to fill in at least one of the three fields: Business Contact Type, Business Contact No., and External Document No.


In this example, I used the Business Contact Type field and clicked Customer, which brought up all the records relating to that customer.
