Dynamics 365 document automation for distributors
DynamoDocs captures the bulk customer POs with many SKUs, supplier invoices to match against receipts, and drop-ship orders that distributors 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 distributors. For distributors, bulk customer POs with many SKUs and supplier invoices that must match receipts arrive nonstop and get keyed line by line before anything ships. 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 orders ship on time and supplier bills reconcile against receipts. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain powers finance and operations for mid-market and enterprise organizations.
The mapping
How Distribution & Wholesale paperwork posts into Dynamics 365
Each document is validated, then delivered to Dynamics 365 as the record below.
| What distributors send | Where it lands in Dynamics 365 |
|---|---|
| Bulk customer PO with many SKUs and unit-of-measure quirks | a sales order |
| Supplier invoice that must match a receipt and PO | a vendor invoice |
| Drop-ship PO routed straight to a vendor | a sales order |
| EDI 850 from a partner, or a PDF PO from everyone else | a sales order |
| Freight bill coded across cost centers | a vendor invoice |
| Made-to-order RFQ or request for pricing | a sales quotation in Dynamics 365 |
A worked example
Dynamics 365 for distributors, from inbox to posted record
Imagine a wholesale distributor running Dynamics 365 that receives a 60-line bulk purchase order from a grocery chain, every line uses the customer's SKU, not yours. 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 distribution & wholesale team reviews the occasional exception instead of retyping the whole document, so orders ship on time and supplier bills reconcile against receipts.

Dynamics 365 for Distribution & Wholesale FAQ
How does DynamoDocs handle distribution & wholesale documents on Dynamics 365?
For distributors, bulk customer POs with many SKUs and supplier invoices that must match receipts arrive nonstop and get keyed line by line before anything ships. 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 orders ship on time and supplier bills reconcile against receipts.
How does a bulk customer po with many skus and unit-of-measure quirks post into Dynamics 365?
It becomes a sales order 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 cost center and warehouse 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 cost center and warehouse 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 distributors post into Dynamics 365?
Purchase orders become a sales order and RFQs become a sales quotation in Dynamics 365, with every line, bulk customer POs with many SKUs 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 distributors 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 orders ship on time and supplier bills reconcile against receipts.
