DynamoDocs automates Business Central document entry for field service and equipment companies. For field service and equipment companies, parts invoices, equipment POs, and service quotes shuttle between the field and the office and get re-keyed before billing or dispatch. DynamoDocs captures each document, AI reads and classifies it, suggests GL coding, validates it, and posts approved records into Business Central through the Business Central API v2.0, so billing and dispatch stop waiting on re-keyed parts and equipment paperwork. Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly NAV / Navision) is the go-to ERP for growing SMBs on the Microsoft stack.

A worked example
Business Central for field service and equipment companies, from inbox to posted record
Imagine an equipment service company running Business Central that receives a parts invoice tied to a specific work order, the parts have to post against the right unit for warranty. 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 Business Central as a purchase invoice through the Business Central API v2.0. Connects to Business Central online through the standard API v2.0, signed in with an Azure AD app registration. Your field service & equipment team reviews the occasional exception instead of retyping the whole document, so billing and dispatch stop waiting on re-keyed parts and equipment paperwork.

Business Central for Field Service & Equipment FAQ
How does DynamoDocs handle field service & equipment documents on Business Central?
For field service and equipment companies, parts invoices, equipment POs, and service quotes shuttle between the field and the office and get re-keyed before billing or dispatch. 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 Business Central through the Business Central API v2.0. Connects to Business Central online through the standard API v2.0, signed in with an Azure AD app registration. Clean documents post automatically; only exceptions reach a person, so billing and dispatch stop waiting on re-keyed parts and equipment paperwork.
How does a parts or component supplier invoice post into Business Central?
It becomes a purchase invoice in Business Central, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Posts purchase invoices, sales orders, and sales quotes, creating the header and then each line. A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what Business Central expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.
Does it assign work order and equipment or unit on Business Central 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 work order and equipment or unit. The Business Central connector posts a fixed set of fields (party, dates, currency, and each line's account or item, quantity, and amount), so those codes are added in Business Central after the record lands. 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 field service and equipment companies post into Business Central?
Purchase orders become a sales order and RFQs become a sales quote in Business Central, with every line, parts and component invoices included, read and validated first. Carries the vendor or customer no., the vendor invoice no., and each line's item or G/L account no. through the map.
How much time and money does this save field service and equipment companies on Business Central?
Keying one document into Business Central 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 billing and dispatch stop waiting on re-keyed parts and equipment paperwork.
