Hi Readers,

Managing the Evolution of Service Documents

Service documents, like quotes, orders, and contracts, often undergo changes throughout their lifecycle. To ensure data integrity and maintain a clear audit trail, Business Central 2024 introduces robust archiving capabilities specifically tailored for service management.

Key Benefits of Archiving Service Documents:

How Does Archiving Work?

Business Central offers flexible archiving options:

• Automatic Archiving: Set up documents to be archived automatically when certain actions occur, such as:
  • Changing document status
  • Deleting documents
  • Printing, downloading, or emailing documents
  • Posting service orders
  • Converting quotes to orders or contracts
• Manual Archiving: Use the “Archive” action to manually archive specific versions of service documents.

Customization and Control:

You have full control over the archiving process. On the Service Management Setup page, you can configure the following settings:

• Archive Service Quotes: Choose from “Never,” “Questions,” or “Always.”
• Archive Service Contract Quotes: Select “Never,” “Question,” or “Always.”
• Archive Orders: Specify “Yes” or “No.”
