Email - Invite External Accountant Scenario

If you get the following message after clicking on Invite External Accountant, then follow these steps.

Email is not set up for the action you are trying to take. Ask your administrator to either add the Invite External Accountant scenario to your email account, or to specify a default account for email scenarios.


  1. Search for Email Scenario Assignment



  2. In my case I have email set up so my email is showing in the Email Scenario Assignment window already. If it is not showing or blank, then you need to go through the process of setting up email yet. 

    Click on Assign scenarios and then select Invite External Account > OK.


    Email Scenario Assignment window should show the scenarios by email accounts now.

Applying posted credit memos to posted invoices isn't a hard task to complete in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The example I use below is for a vendor credit, but the same process applies to customers.  Version: US Business Central 20.0 Open up the vendors list. Search for vendor that you'd like to apply the credit memo to an invoice for.  Click on Balance field to open up Vendor Ledger Entries window. This will show all the 'open' documents on the vendor ledger. Select the line for the Credit Memo that you want to apply to a posted invoice. Click Process > Apply Entries Within the Edit - Apply Vendor Entries window select the line(s) that you'd like the credit memo applied to.  Click Process > Set Applies-to ID This will put the users name into the Applies-to ID field on the line selected. To post the application select Process > Post Application. Written by: Kristen Hosman, Microsoft MVP
