Patch Power Apps images and signatures to D365 F&SCM
Diesen Beitrag auf Deutsch lesen
Use camera or add picture controls in a canvas app, convert images to base64, and patch them to D365 F&SCM attachments.
TL;DR
A canvas app can collect camera photos or add picture images, convert each image to base64 with JSON and patch the data to the D365 F&SCM sales order attachments table. A signature is patched separately using the same Archive file approach, while the add picture control changes only the Capture formula.

Why it matters
- Makers: Store each captured image with a unique ID, the selected sales order, and its image value, then use ForAll and Patch to create D365 F&SCM attachments.
- Makers: Use JSON with IncludeBinaryData and extract the base64 payload for the Archive file field, because that field carries the image data.
- Admins/IT: Set up the canvas app connection to the D365 F&SCM virtual entity and attachment table, since the pattern relies on those data sources.
