The short version
DynamoDocs automates Infor XA document entry for food and beverage producers. For food and beverage producers, ingredient and packaging invoices plus high-volume grocery and foodservice POs demand fast, accurate entry under thin margins. DynamoDocs captures each document, AI reads and classifies it, codes it to product line and lot or date code, 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 traceability holds and thin-margin orders are entered fast and accurately. 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 food and beverage producers, from inbox to posted record
Imagine a food and beverage producer running Infor XA that receives an ingredient invoice from a co-packer, it has to carry lot and date-code references for traceability. 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 product line and lot or date code 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 food & beverage team reviews the occasional exception instead of retyping the whole document, so traceability holds and thin-margin orders are entered fast and accurately.

Infor XA for Food & Beverage FAQ
How does DynamoDocs handle food & beverage documents on Infor XA?
For food and beverage producers, ingredient and packaging invoices plus high-volume grocery and foodservice POs demand fast, accurate entry under thin margins. 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 product line and lot or date code, 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 traceability holds and thin-margin orders are entered fast and accurately.
How does a ingredient or packaging supplier invoice post into Infor XA?
It becomes an Accounts Payable voucher in Infor XA, coded to the right product line and lot or date code, 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 food & beverage?
Yes, that is the point. Each document is coded to the right product line and lot or date code 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 traceability holds and thin-margin orders are entered fast and accurately.
How do purchase orders and RFQs from food and beverage producers post into Infor XA?
Purchase orders become a purchase or customer order and RFQs become a customer quote in Infor XA, with every line, ingredient and packaging supplier invoices 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 food and beverage producers 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 product line and lot or date code. DynamoDocs does it in seconds and only flags exceptions, which commonly cuts document-handling labor by 80–95% while traceability holds and thin-margin orders are entered fast and accurately.
