An email in Outlook can be selected and the user can press the 'Send to Dynamics NAV button'. This will search the Dynamics NAV contacts database for any contacts with a matching email address to the email sender, take the email contents and any attachments and present them to Dynamics NAV for the creation or update of various Dynamics NAV documents (e.g. Sales Orders, Purchase Invoices, Service Orders, Sales Quotes etc.). Once created, the email details and attachments can be viewed against the document using the Document Receiving functionality. Additional details and attachments can be added to the document from further emails using the same functionality.
The video below shows the functionality in use with Service Orders in Dynamics NAV.
If you would like to know more about the Outlook Integration or our Dynamics Document Receiving add-on, then please contact us for more details.

Choosing the right CRM system can make or break your growing business. You need a platform that scales with your team, connects your data, and helps you close more deals without draining your budget. Two names dominate the CRM market: Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Salesforce.
When your sales team operates without real-time visibility of stock levels, credit limits, or lead times, deals slow down and customer satisfaction suffers. Disconnected CRM and ERP systems force your teams to work in isolation, leading to double data entry, delayed quotations, and missed opportunities.
Growing a business in the UK requires tools that can keep pace with your ambitions. Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM has become a leading choice for organisations that need more than basic customer management. It combines powerful customer relationship capabilities with the flexibility to adapt as your business evolves.
