How it is done:

Create an action called Order Picture in the Sales Order page for capturing the photo of an Order and attach it to the Sales Order page:

When you click on this action, the camera in your device (if supported) starts, and you can take the picture:

After the picture has been taken, click on use to save in a Media type field, which will be displayed on the Sales Order page (in a Cardpart):

Here’s an example of using AL code to import a sales order image into Business Central.

Step: 1 Add a new Media type field called Order Image to the Sales Header table.

Step: 2 Then, create a CardPart page called Order Picture object for displaying the Order Image field in the Sales Order page.

Step: 3 Next, create the Order Picture action in the Sales Order page.

Use the Camera page to set properties for the Camera Control and open the Camera (by using Camera.RunModal). When the picture is taken, call the GetPicture method to receive the stream of the taken photo and import this stream into the Order Image field.

By allowing users to take and attach pictures directly within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, the camera picture functionality developed utilizing AL increases operational efficiency. For businesses where real-time image documentation is essential, such as retail, warehouses, and field services, this capability is very helpful. It streamlines workflows and boosts overall productivity by making tasks like inventory management, product quality inspections etc. easier to complete.
