Outlook Add-in

General

With 3PL Dynamics, you can manage business interactions with your customers and vendors, directly in Microsoft Outlook. With the 3PL Dynamics Outlook add-in, you can view financial data related to customers and vendors. You can also create and send Logistics documents, such as Receipts, Shipments and Transport Orers.

There are two ways to get the Business Central add-in for Outlook installed, depending on your role in the organization:

As a Microsoft 365 administrator, use Centralized Deployment to install the add-in automatically for the entire organization, groups, or specific users.
