: Used in AL (Business Central) to create zip archives, add streams (like PDF reports), and then export the final archive to the user. Technical Implementation (AL & C/AL) : Used in
: In NAV 2017 and later, this codeunit provides native functions to import and export files as zip archives without needing third-party software.
Modern implementations of NAV and Business Central include functionality to automatically bundle reports into a zip archive to streamline delivery.
: Systems can be configured to loop through shipment lines or invoices, generate a PDF for each, and save them all into a single zip file for the user to download at once.
