    Business Central doesn't support incoming email.

    You can add an extension to your outlook, to have direct access from there.

    Hi Mauser,

    Thanks for your response!

    I have another question if we use this extension then where it will place that document. Will it be place in Incoming document page or Somewhere else?

    Thanks & Regards

    Hi

    If I understood you correctly you want a method that team send an email with PDF file to BC and those email show up in BC? I am not aware of such a solution. But you may need to look into Incoming Document

    docs.microsoft.com/.../across-income-documents

    some sample of OCR are

    Hi

    I just notice in new release (2022 Wave 1) Microsoft will have a similar function. See below

    Hi, In addition to Incoming Document, you can also use attachments.

    I recently did a similar development, you can also use an interface, or Power Automate to pass values in.

    Hope this gives you some inspiration.
