Dynamics 365 document automation for construction and contracting firms
DynamoDocs captures the subcontractor invoices, job-coded material bills, and POs across active job sites that construction and contracting firms deal with every day, reads them with AI, validates every field, and posts them into Dynamics 365. Your team reviews the exceptions instead of retyping each one.

DynamoDocs automates Dynamics 365 document entry for construction and contracting firms. For construction and contracting firms, subcontractor and material invoices arrive against many active jobs and AP must code each to the right job, phase, and cost code by hand. DynamoDocs captures each document, AI reads and classifies it, suggests GL coding, validates it, and posts approved records into Dynamics 365 through the Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain OData data entities, so AP stays audit-ready and job costs are never off because a bill was mis-coded. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain powers finance and operations for mid-market and enterprise organizations.
The mapping
How Construction & Contractors paperwork posts into Dynamics 365
Each document is validated, then delivered to Dynamics 365 as the record below.
| What construction and contracting firms send | Where it lands in Dynamics 365 |
|---|---|
| Subcontractor invoice with retention or retainage held back | a vendor invoice |
| Material supplier invoice tied to a specific project | a vendor invoice |
| Purchase order for materials across active job sites | a sales order |
| Progress billing or AIA-style pay application | a vendor invoice |
| Vendor bill that needs clean job-cost coding | a vendor invoice |
| Made-to-order RFQ or request for pricing | a sales quotation in Dynamics 365 |
A worked example
Dynamics 365 for construction and contracting firms, from inbox to posted record
Imagine a general contractor running Dynamics 365 that receives a subcontractor invoice with 10% retainage split across three cost codes, it spans two active jobs. DynamoDocs picks it up from the monitored inbox (or a drag-and-drop upload), and AI reads every field and line, no template required. Each line gets a suggested GL account from your rules and coding history, then the document is validated against totals, required fields, and your own checks. Anything that fails is flagged field-by-field for a quick review; everything clean posts straight into Dynamics 365 as a vendor invoice through the Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain OData data entities. Posts to the Finance & Supply Chain OData data entities, header first and then each line, signed in with an Azure AD app registration. Your construction & contractors team reviews the occasional exception instead of retyping the whole document, so AP stays audit-ready and job costs are never off because a bill was mis-coded.

Dynamics 365 for Construction & Contractors FAQ
How does DynamoDocs handle construction & contractors documents on Dynamics 365?
For construction and contracting firms, subcontractor and material invoices arrive against many active jobs and AP must code each to the right job, phase, and cost code by hand. DynamoDocs captures each of those documents from a monitored mailbox or upload, reads every field with AI (no per-vendor template), suggests a GL account for each line, and posts it into Dynamics 365 through the Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain OData data entities. Posts to the Finance & Supply Chain OData data entities, header first and then each line, signed in with an Azure AD app registration. Clean documents post automatically; only exceptions reach a person, so AP stays audit-ready and job costs are never off because a bill was mis-coded.
How does a subcontractor invoice with retention or retainage held back post into Dynamics 365?
It becomes a vendor invoice in Dynamics 365, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Creates vendor invoices, sales orders, and sales quotations. A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what Dynamics 365 expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.
Does it assign job, phase, and cost code on Dynamics 365 records?
DynamoDocs suggests a GL account for each line from your keyword rules and from how the same part or description was coded before, and a person confirms it. It does not assign job, phase, and cost code for you, but where a document prints them they can be captured as added fields and mapped into the record Dynamics 365 receives. Anything that fails a validation rule is flagged field-by-field for a quick fix before it posts.
How do purchase orders and RFQs from construction and contracting firms post into Dynamics 365?
Purchase orders become a sales order and RFQs become a sales quotation in Dynamics 365, with every line, subcontractor invoices included, read and validated first. Fills the legal entity from your default when the document does not name one, and maps vendor and customer accounts, ledger accounts, and item numbers to yours.
How much time and money does this save construction and contracting firms on Dynamics 365?
Keying one document into Dynamics 365 typically takes 5–10 minutes and costs $2–$6 in labor, before the cost of fixing a mis-keyed line. DynamoDocs does it in seconds and only flags exceptions, so the labor left is the review time on those, while AP stays audit-ready and job costs are never off because a bill was mis-coded.
