Hi Experts

I notice that whenever we create and then print or create a PDF of a document in SAP B1 8.82 a copy of the PDF is left in our SAP\Pictures folder.

The current format is something like "Purchase Order_20151007_174212.pdf"

Is it possible to alter this format to also include the BP code?

Regards

Geoff

Does anybody know if there has been any update on this request.

It would make my life so much easier if I can add the business partner code into the format of the document name.

Thanks

This can be done using a third-party solution, for example Coresuite add-on.

Hi,

If you export via File-->Export, then you change file name.

Thank you.

Hi Geoff,

As far as I know it is not currently possible to adapt the naming convention of exported files.

Currently, the format is simply:

[document type]_[date at moment of export]_[time at moment of export].pdf

As you can see, there is nothing in the name that says anything about the content (except for the document type).

This would actually be very helpful functionality, considering how often I have had to export a price list, and the naming convention is simply price list.txt

So please suggest this to SAP as a development idea.

Regards,

Johan
