Every drawing and certificate on the record it belongs to

What this module does

A purchaser preparing a supplier package needs the latest drawings, the rev 2 spec, the inspection criteria, and the customer-specific requirement document, all on the lines of the purchase order going out today. Tagged to the records they belong to, they come out as one download. The package goes the same hour the line is approved.

Key pages

Documents is the central registry for every drawing, certificate, procedure, and record. Files are tagged to the records they belong to (projects, items, production orders, routing lines, purchase orders, NCRs) and appear inline on every page that shows those records. Upload goes from the browser straight to the company's own Azure Blob Storage account, so large files are not held back by the limits of routing them through Business Central. Business Central keeps the reference and the storage key. The file itself stays in storage the company controls.

A purchaser selects the BOM lines and combines the attached PDFs into one supplier pack. Operators see the drawing for the operation they are running. A QA lead assembling a customer trace combines the certificates on a BOM into one PDF. The Business Central administrator answers the sponsor's data-ownership question plainly: the files are in the company's own Azure account, scoped to private containers and signed download links, and Visual Tracking holds no copy.
