Hello,

We want to have our AP email tied to Business Central so that incoming email invoices (PDF attachments) get uploaded into Business Central and then sent to a printer for printing. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any insights and/or links.

Stay well,

Paul

Hi, Igne suggested a lot of good solutions. In addition, you can find ready-to-use solutions provided by other Partners in AppSource.

Hope this also helps.

Thanks.

There are already several addon's to Business Central that does similar things. Except maybe the print.

Readsoft online is part of the standard functionality and can help you get far with your request.

But if i should create this functionality myself i think my approach would be something like:

Use Power Automate to fetch the attachment from the email and save it to a Azure blob storage.

Use the Azure blob managemt codeunit in AL to load the attachments into AL.

Write AL code that print the document, you will probably have to use universal printing for this.

But i would really look into the existing addons. Starting with the OCR service that is a part of standard BC.

If you're looking to implement AP Automation Continia Document Capture is an extension that will help with the process in Business Central.
