Summary
Companies receive many business documents as an email attachment. This approach is typical of purchases, where incoming document files represent payment receipts for expenses or small purchases.
With the Incoming Documents function in Business Central, you can have an external Optical Character Recognition (OCR) service generate electronic documents that can be converted to document records inside Business Central.
