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. Your team reviews the exceptions instead of retyping each one.

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, suggests GL coding, validates it, and posts approved records into Dynamics GP through a REST endpoint in front of Dynamics GP, or CSV files for a GP import, 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 validated, then delivered to Dynamics GP as the record below.
| 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 |
| Supplier invoice that must match a receipt and PO | a payables (AP) voucher |
| Drop-ship PO routed straight to a vendor | a sales order or purchase order |
| EDI 850 from a partner, or a PDF PO from everyone else | a sales order or purchase order |
| Freight bill coded across cost centers | a payables (AP) voucher |
| 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. 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 GP as a payables (AP) voucher through a REST endpoint in front of Dynamics GP, or CSV files for a GP import. Posts mapped records as JSON to a REST endpoint you name (GP sites often have one wrapping eConnect), or writes CSV files for an Integration Manager import. There is no prebuilt GP connector. 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), suggests a GL account for each line, and posts it into Dynamics GP through a REST endpoint in front of Dynamics GP, or CSV files for a GP import. Posts mapped records as JSON to a REST endpoint you name (GP sites often have one wrapping eConnect), or writes CSV files for an Integration Manager import. There is no prebuilt GP connector. 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, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Delivers payables vouchers, sales orders (SOP), and purchase orders (POP) shaped to the fields you map. A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what Dynamics GP expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.
Does it assign cost center and warehouse on Dynamics GP 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 GP 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 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 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.
