DynamoDocs automates Macola 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 Macola through a mapped CSV import into Macola, or a REST endpoint you put in front of it, so traceability holds and thin-margin orders are entered fast and accurately. Macola (ECi) is a long-standing manufacturing and distribution ERP where a file import is the practical path to automating data entry.

A worked example
Macola for food and beverage producers, from inbox to posted record
Imagine a food and beverage producer running Macola 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 Macola as an AP invoice through a mapped CSV import into Macola, or a REST endpoint you put in front of it. Writes a mapped CSV file per document for a Macola import to pick up, or posts JSON to a REST endpoint you name. No on-premises agent is involved. 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.

Macola for Food & Beverage FAQ
How does DynamoDocs handle food & beverage documents on Macola?
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 Macola through a mapped CSV import into Macola, or a REST endpoint you put in front of it. Writes a mapped CSV file per document for a Macola import to pick up, or posts JSON to a REST endpoint you name. No on-premises agent is involved. 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 Macola?
It becomes an AP invoice in Macola, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Delivers AP invoices, sales orders, and quotes for Macola 10 or Macola ES / Progression, shaped to the fields you map. A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what Macola expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.
Does it assign product line and lot or date code on Macola 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 Macola 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 Macola?
Purchase orders become a sales order and RFQs become a quote in Macola, with every line, ingredient and packaging supplier invoices included, read and validated first. Maps vendor, customer, and item codes, terse ones included, to the ones already in Macola.
How much time and money does this save food and beverage producers on Macola?
Keying one document into Macola 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.
