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, suggests GL coding, validates it, and posts approved records into Infor XA through the Infor XA connector, which posts JSON to your XA or Infor ION API endpoint, 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. 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 Infor XA as an Accounts Payable voucher through the Infor XA connector, which posts JSON to your XA or Infor ION API endpoint. Posts each mapped record as JSON to the Infor ION or XA API endpoint you name, authenticated with a bearer token. 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), suggests a GL account for each line, and posts it into Infor XA through the Infor XA connector, which posts JSON to your XA or Infor ION API endpoint. Posts each mapped record as JSON to the Infor ION or XA API endpoint you name, authenticated with a bearer token. 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, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Shapes invoices for AP vouchers, customer POs for customer orders, and RFQs for quotes. A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what Infor XA expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.
Does it assign product line and lot or date code on Infor XA 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 product line and lot or date code for you, but where a document prints them they can be captured as added fields and mapped into the record Infor XA 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 food and beverage producers post into Infor XA?
Purchase orders become a customer order and RFQs become a customer quote in Infor XA, with every line, ingredient and packaging supplier invoices included, read and validated first. Carries your XA company number, and maps vendor and customer numbers, GL accounts, item numbers, and warehouse to yours.
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 a mis-keyed line. DynamoDocs does it in seconds and only flags exceptions, so the labor left is the review time on those, while traceability holds and thin-margin orders are entered fast and accurately.
