Dynamics GP for distributors
Dynamics GP 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 GP.

The short version
DynamoDocs automates Dynamics GP 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, codes it to SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse, validates it, and posts approved records into Dynamics GP through an eConnect or web-services connector into Dynamics GP, so orders ship on time and supplier bills reconcile against receipts. Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) has a huge installed base now facing end-of-life support, so cutting manual AP and order entry buys time while you plan a migration.
The mapping
How Distribution & Wholesale paperwork posts into Dynamics GP
Each document is coded to SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse and posted into Dynamics GP as the right native record. Nothing gets dropped into a CSV to clean up later.
| What distributors send | Where it lands in Dynamics GP |
|---|---|
| Bulk customer PO with many SKUs and unit-of-measure quirks | a sales order or purchase order, coded to SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse |
| Supplier invoice that must match a receipt and PO | a payables (AP) voucher, coded to SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse |
| Drop-ship PO routed straight to a vendor | a sales order or purchase order, coded to SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse |
| EDI 850 from a partner, or a PDF PO from everyone else | a sales order or purchase order, coded to SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse |
| Freight bill coded across cost centers | a payables (AP) voucher, coded to SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse |
| Made-to-order RFQ or request for pricing | a quote in Dynamics GP |
A worked example
Dynamics GP for distributors, from inbox to posted record
Imagine a wholesale distributor running Dynamics GP 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. It is coded to SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse from your rules and vendor or customer history, then 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 GP as a payables (AP) voucher through an eConnect or web-services connector into Dynamics GP. Connects through an eConnect or web-services connector into your Dynamics GP company. 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 GP for Distribution & Wholesale FAQ
How does DynamoDocs handle distribution & wholesale documents on Dynamics GP?
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), codes it to the right SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse, and posts it into Dynamics GP through an eConnect or web-services connector into Dynamics GP. Connects through an eConnect or web-services connector into your Dynamics GP company. 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 GP?
It becomes a sales order or purchase order in Dynamics GP, coded to the right SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Posts payables vouchers, sales orders (SOP), and purchase orders (POP). A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what Dynamics GP expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.
Can it keep our Dynamics GP coding right for distribution & wholesale?
Yes, that is the point. Each document is coded to the right SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse from your rules and vendor or customer history, so records arrive in Dynamics GP already coded instead of waiting on a clerk. Anything that fails a rule is flagged field-by-field for a quick fix, which keeps Dynamics GP clean and orders ship on time and supplier bills reconcile against receipts.
How do purchase orders and RFQs from distributors post into Dynamics GP?
Purchase orders become a sales order or purchase order and RFQs become a quote in Dynamics GP, with every line, bulk customer POs with many SKUs included, read and validated first. Runs against GP today and re-points to a successor ERP later by swapping the field map, not the workflow.
How much time and money does this save distributors on Dynamics GP?
Keying one document into Dynamics GP typically takes 5–10 minutes and costs $2–$6 in labor, before the cost of fixing mis-coded SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse. DynamoDocs does it in seconds and only flags exceptions, which commonly cuts document-handling labor by 80–95% while orders ship on time and supplier bills reconcile against receipts.
