I get Purchase Orders from my customers as PDF's in emails. I want to use OCR to convert these to Sales orders in Business Central to reduce the data entry time. Is there a way to do this?

Hi,

Yes. This is possible in many different ways use.

You can explore AppSource for add-ons that integrate with Business Central and update fields. There are many excellent apps available for this functionality.

You can utilize the Power Platform to develop a custom solution.

Customization is another option to tailor the system to your specific needs.
