Centara eMessaging additions to Warehouse Shipment, Warehouse Receipt, Transfer Order, Posted Sales Shipment, and the E-Document service — shared status fields, tracking, and send actions.
Warehouse Documents — Centara e-Document fields
BC pages: Warehouse Shipment · Warehouse Receipt · Transfer Order · Posted Sales Shipment · E-Document Standard BC documentation: Microsoft Learn — Warehouse Management Centara narrative: eMessaging for Warehouse overview
The Centara eMessaging for Warehouse extension adds a small set of e-document fields and actions to several standard warehouse and logistics pages. The same three header fields and an E-Document action group appear on each page so the user experience is consistent across the warehouse flow.
This help page documents the Centara additions only. Standard BC fields on these pages are documented on Microsoft Learn.
The same set of fields and actions appears on Warehouse Shipment, Warehouse Receipt, Transfer Order, Posted Sales Shipment, and is also reflected on the shared E-Document service page. The descriptions below apply to all of these pages.
E-Document status fields (General group)
These three fields are added to the General group on each warehouse document. They track the lifecycle of the outbound PEPPOL document that is generated from the warehouse record.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| E-Document Status | The current Centara document status for this shipment/receipt/transfer — blank when no e-document has been generated, then progressing through New, Waiting to be sent, Sent, Delivered, or Failed. Drilling down opens the CentaraIQ service portal for this document. |
| Identifier in Centara | The CentaraIQ tracking ID assigned when the document is dispatched. Use this identifier to look the document up in the CentaraIQ portal or to reference it in a support request. |
| Sent to Centara On | Timestamp recording when the document was first submitted to CentaraIQ. Empty until the first successful submission. |
All three fields are read-only — they are populated by the eMessaging engine when the document is processed.
E-Document actions
A new E-Document action group is added to each warehouse document (under the document’s primary action group, e.g. &Shipment, &Receipt, O&rder). The actions only become enabled while no e-document has yet been created.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Send Shipment / Send Receipt / Send Order | Generates the PEPPOL e-document for the current record and submits it to the configured e-Document service. The caption reflects the source document — Send Shipment on Warehouse Shipment, Send Receipt on Warehouse Receipt, Send Order on Transfer Order. Disabled once an e-document already exists; use Recreate Document on the E-Document card to regenerate. |
| Open | Opens the underlying E-Document card linked to this warehouse record, where you can inspect the generated XML, view delivery history, and trigger resend/recreate from the e-document side. |
The Posted Sales Shipment page only shows the three status fields — the send action for posted sales shipments lives on the Send Despatch Advice flow described in the Warehouse overview.
E-Document service page additions
On the standard E-Document card, the Centara Warehouse extension adds:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Recreate Document | Companion to the base Recreate action. Used specifically for warehouse e-documents (Warehouse Shipment, Transfer Order, Warehouse Receipt) — these document types are excluded from the base Recreate action because their regeneration uses a different export pipeline. Prompts for which E-Document Service to recreate against. |
The base Recreate action remains visible for non-warehouse outbound document types.
