Printing multiple invoices in Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365FO) just got easier!
Whether you need to reprint a few invoices or send hundreds to a different print destination, you can now do it directly from the Invoice journal form interactively or in batch.

The Print invoices in bulk and batch feature was introduced in Docentric AX version 3.5.0 Free Edition and supports these invoice journal forms and invoice types:

• Customer invoice journal - CustInvoiceJournal - supports Customer invoices and Free text invoices
• Open customer invoices - CustOpenInvoicesListPage (available from Docentric AX version 3.5.1)
• Project invoices - ProjInvoiceListPage - supports all types of Project invoices

In this article, we’ll walk through how to print in bulk and batch using the Print selected and Print range options, with or without using Print management.

Printing in bulk and batch

For this example, we’ll use the Project invoices, which you can access in Project management and accounting > Project invoices > Project invoices.

On the Docentric menu in the Project invoice tab, click the Print in bulk and batch button.

You will see two options:

• Print selected: prints only the records you select in the grid.
• Print range: prints reports based on a query.

Let’s go through both.

Print selected

Use Print selected when you want to print a few specific invoices directly from the journal grid.

In the dialog, you will find the following options:

1. Use print management: runs reports using your existing Print management setup.
2. Print destination: prints reports to an ad-hoc print destination of your choosing (Screen, Email, SFTP, Azure Blob storage, Azure Files, SharePoint etc.).
3. Run in batch: enables you to print asynchronously, ideal when printing many reports.

Print range

When you need to print many reports, selecting them one by one can be tedious.

The Print range option allows you to easily build a query to define which records to print. You can add joins, filters and other conditions to match your needs.

The Print range dialog includes:

1. Use print management: same as in Print selected, used to print using the Print management settings.
2. Print destination: allows you to configure Print destination settings per Print management document type (per different invoice type).
3. Records to include: the query that is used to filter the invoices to print.
4. Run in batch: same as in the Print selected option, use it if you plan to print a large number of reports or to print reports on a schedule by utilizing the Records to include query.

Summary

The new Print in bulk and batch functionality makes it simple to print multiple invoices directly from Customer and Project invoice journals in D365FO.

Use Print selected for quick reprints of chosen invoices, and Print range when you need to print large sets of invoices defined by a flexible query.

Combined with Docentric print destinations and batch processing, you can now schedule, distribute, and manage invoice printing more efficiently.
