  According to Microsoft, there is no roadmap to add workflow approval, rejection and delegate comments to the BC out of the box email notifications. You can always add an extension, but this should be OOB.  I need the community to help vote this up!  Please go here and vote today:  https://experience.dynamics.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=a2be05ef-3d3c-eb11-8fed-0003ff68d921

Verifying Email Messages Sent from Business Central

-
In Dynamics GP, you could always track if an email was sent by visiting the sent box of your inbox after sending the emails. 

 After much research, this does not occur with Dynamics BC. When setting up email, you set up one universal email account and therefore it does not prompt you for credentialing when sending emails. This leaves the user to wonder where will you find if an email was sent to a customer or vendor and how do you resend it?

 Enter- Interaction Log Entries in Dynamics Business Central

 In the search box, look for Interaction Log Entries. 










The first checkbox will show you if the interaction was cancelled. The second will show you if the attempt failed. 

 If you go to Actions in the taskbar, you can several other options for the interactions. 
















If a user needs to create an interaction in 365 for Sales/BC, they can do that from this window. You can also evaluate the interaction as well. 

 If the user did not get the email, from here you can resend. 

 To clean up the entries, you can also remove cancelled entries. 

 Need to create a task to remind yourself to contact the customer or vendor again? You can do that from here as well. 

 You can setup different interaction templates in the interaction template setup. 

 Pretty cool stuff. 

 You can read more about these entries here:

Formatting Phone Numbers in SQL Reporting Services

Every time, without fail, I need to create a phone number on an SSRS report for a client and get stuck with phone formatting. Every time I am searching forums. I thought it would be awesome if it was in some amazing blog that I could visit and copy from each time. So... here it is, if not for myself, then for others: In Report Builder or visual studio, add your phone number field to the report.  Right click on that text box where you added the field and click on expression.  Clear the formula box and type in the expression below. Formula to Use:  =IIF(Fields!Phone.Value Is Nothing, Nothing, IIF(IsNumeric(Fields!Phone.Value), Format(Val(Fields!Phone.Value), "(000) 000-0000"), Fields!Phone.Value)) Note:  My field is actually called Phone. If your field is not called phone, you will need to replace it with your phone field name. (Like: Fields!E_T_PHONE_HOME.Value) Then click on OK at the bottom of the expression box. Run your report.

  Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) vs. NetSuite and Other Competitors- Common Myths Debunked A former colleague of mine was recently emailed a copy of the NetSuite partner monthly newsletter. The head article from NetSuite sales was regarding Business Central and it's upgrade versions, all taken from a personal blogger/system administrator. They were using this blog as facts as what was going on with Business Central. After digging on the World Wide Web a little deeper, I was able to find many sites and documentation from NetSuite on what appeared to be "facts" about Business Central (BC). I also found similar articles from other competitors: Acumatica and Intaact. Here are some of the common myths I am seeing published online: Business Central is siloed Business Central doesn't have automated upgrades and users are all on different versions Business Central is not a robust ERP Business Central is new Business Central doesn't have a lot of customers Business Cen
