Centara additions to the BC E-Document card and list: a Recreate Document action that handles purchase orders and purchase return orders correctly.

This page documents the Centara additions to the standard Business Central E-Document service pages. Standard BC fields (Document Type, Direction, Service, Status, etc.) are documented on Microsoft Learn.
The Centara eMessaging extension adds outbound-purchase-order support to the Recreate Document action. The base BC action skips outgoing Purchase Order and Purchase Return Order documents; Centara replaces it with a version that handles those types via the Centara export logic.

Actions
The standard Recreate Document action is restricted to documents that are not outgoing Purchase Orders or Purchase Return Orders. For those two document types, a Centara-supplied Recreate Document action appears in its place.
| Action | When visible | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Recreate (standard, modified) | Outbound documents that are not Purchase Order / Purchase Return Order, and all inbound documents | Standard BC behaviour. Centara only narrows when this action shows. |
| Recreate Document (Centara) | Outbound Purchase Order and Purchase Return Order documents | Asks you to pick an E-Document Service, then regenerates the outbound e-document via the Centara export pipeline so the purchase order / return order is correctly re-serialised and re-sent. Promoted alongside the standard action. |
E-Documents list
The list adds a single bulk action in the Processing menu.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Recreate Document | Asks you to pick an E-Document Service, then loops over every selected E-Document and re-runs the Centara export for it. Use this to bulk-rebuild outbound e-documents — for example, after fixing an issue with an upstream BC document or after switching service. |
