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

DynamoDocs automates SAP 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 SAP through SAP OData services (S/4HANA APIs, or a Gateway service on ECC), so orders ship on time and supplier bills reconcile against receipts. SAP S/4HANA and ECC run finance and supply chain for enterprises worldwide, where AP and order-entry teams handle high document volume.
The mapping
How Distribution & Wholesale paperwork posts into SAP
Each document is validated, then delivered to SAP as the record below.
| What distributors send | Where it lands in SAP |
|---|---|
| Bulk customer PO with many SKUs and unit-of-measure quirks | a sales order |
| Supplier invoice that must match a receipt and PO | a supplier 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 supplier invoice |
| Made-to-order RFQ or request for pricing | a sales quotation in SAP |
A worked example
SAP for distributors, from inbox to posted record
Imagine a wholesale distributor running SAP 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 SAP as a supplier invoice through SAP OData services (S/4HANA APIs, or a Gateway service on ECC). Posts to S/4HANA's standard OData APIs, or to a Gateway OData service on ECC. 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.

SAP for Distribution & Wholesale FAQ
How does DynamoDocs handle distribution & wholesale documents on SAP?
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 SAP through SAP OData services (S/4HANA APIs, or a Gateway service on ECC). Posts to S/4HANA's standard OData APIs, or to a Gateway OData service on ECC. 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 SAP?
It becomes a sales order in SAP, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Creates supplier invoices, sales orders, and sales quotations. A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what SAP expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.
Does it assign cost center and warehouse on SAP 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 SAP 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 SAP?
Purchase orders become a sales order and RFQs become a sales quotation in SAP, with every line, bulk customer POs with many SKUs included, read and validated first. Carries company code on invoices and sales organization on orders and quotations, with suppliers, customers, GL accounts, and materials mapped to yours.
How much time and money does this save distributors on SAP?
Keying one document into SAP 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.
