This processing report transfers document attachments from Business Central to SharePoint. It is useful for attachments that were not transferred automatically after posting or that must be processed again after a temporary SharePoint connection problem.

What the Report Does

Reads the document attachments that match the selected filters.
Finds the related Business Central record and the SharePoint folder from the configured table mapping.
Uploads the attachment with a sanitized file name and its original file extension.
Writes the configured mapping metadata to the SharePoint file.
Deletes the Business Central attachment only when the upload succeeds.

Available Filters

Filter	Purpose
Table ID	Limits processing to attachments for a specific table.
No.	Limits processing to a specific document or record number.
Attached Date	Limits processing to attachments created in a selected date range.
Document Type	Limits processing to a selected document type.
User	Limits processing to attachments created by a selected user.

Supported Records

Records with a one-field primary key can be processed. For two-field primary keys, the report supports sales and purchase header records. An unsupported key structure stops the report to prevent attachments from being associated with the wrong record.

When an Upload Fails

The attachment remains in Business Central when SharePoint rejects the upload or the transfer cannot be completed. Review the SharePoint Connector authentication, folder mapping, and permissions before running the report again.
