Attach images in file storage to vendor attachments

Hello,

I will be moving several images to VendorAttachment which needs to be automated due to the number of incoming images.

I'm working on a process flow that takes an image in file storage and adds it to the VendorAttachment business class. I can successfully create the record on VendorAttachment and view the image in file storage but when I look in VendorAttachment the file will not open. I believe this is is due to the BinaryData in FileStorage being BinaryObject

and the Attachment.File in VendorAttachment being BinaryDocument.

So my question is, what is the method to get a BinaryDocument out of a BinaryObject?

How did you map the fields exactly? I think PfiFileStorage.BinaryData would go to VendorAttachment.Attachment.File and you maybe need to hard-code or derive both VendorAttachment.Attachment.MimeType and VendorAttachment.Title. I've not tested or done this one before.

Thanks for the response.

I'm using a For Each to pull an array of Images from file storage and getting the BinaryData from each image

I follow that by creating a vendor attachment by passing in the BinaryData to Attachment.File. Note that I have Attachment.MimeType="image/png" in the screenshot. I have tried others including omitting it.

This will create a vendor attachment but when you into the vendor to open the file you get invalid data. I have tried this with a few images and types.

you maybe need to hard-code or derive both VendorAttachment.Attachment.MimeType and VendorAttachment.Title

I think I might be doing this in my landmark transaction screenshot for VendorAttachments if I am understanding correctly.

Thanks!
