Infor XA document automation for distributors

The short version

DynamoDocs automates Infor XA 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 Infor XA through an on-premises connector or a REST/API bridge into your Infor XA environment, so orders ship on time and supplier bills reconcile against receipts. Infor XA (formerly MAPICS) runs core finance, manufacturing, and distribution for many mid-market manufacturers, and it's well known for heavy manual order and AP keying.

A worked example

Infor XA for distributors, from inbox to posted record

Imagine a wholesale distributor running Infor XA 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 Infor XA as an Accounts Payable voucher through an on-premises connector or a REST/API bridge into your Infor XA environment. Runs against an on-premises Infor XA (MAPICS) environment through a local connector or a REST/API bridge. 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.

Questions, answered

Infor XA for Distribution & Wholesale FAQ

How does DynamoDocs handle distribution & wholesale documents on Infor XA?

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 Infor XA through an on-premises connector or a REST/API bridge into your Infor XA environment. Runs against an on-premises Infor XA (MAPICS) environment through a local connector or a REST/API bridge. 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 Infor XA?

It becomes a purchase or customer order in Infor XA, coded to the right SKU, unit of measure, and warehouse, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Posts invoices as AP vouchers and customer POs as Customer Order Management orders. A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what Infor XA expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.

Can it keep our Infor XA 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 Infor XA already coded instead of waiting on a clerk. Anything that fails a rule is flagged field-by-field for a quick fix, which keeps Infor XA clean and orders ship on time and supplier bills reconcile against receipts.

How do purchase orders and RFQs from distributors post into Infor XA?

Purchase orders become a purchase or customer order and RFQs become a customer quote in Infor XA, with every line, bulk customer POs with many SKUs included, read and validated first. Handles the abbreviated vendor and item codes common in long-running XA installs.

How much time and money does this save distributors on Infor XA?

Keying one document into Infor XA 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.
