Dynamics 365 document automation for logistics and 3PL providers
DynamoDocs captures the carrier and freight invoices, customer orders and bookings, and rate quotes that logistics and 3PL providers deal with every day, reads them with AI, validates every field, and posts them into Dynamics 365. Your team reviews the exceptions instead of retyping each one.

DynamoDocs automates Dynamics 365 document entry for logistics and 3PL providers. For logistics and 3PL providers, carrier and freight invoices with accessorial charges plus customer orders arrive in every format and get reconciled by hand. DynamoDocs captures each document, AI reads and classifies it, suggests GL coding, validates it, and posts approved records into Dynamics 365 through the Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain OData data entities, so hours go to moving freight instead of reconciling accessorials by hand. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain powers finance and operations for mid-market and enterprise organizations.
The mapping
How Logistics & 3PL paperwork posts into Dynamics 365
Each document is validated, then delivered to Dynamics 365 as the record below.
| What logistics and 3PL providers send | Where it lands in Dynamics 365 |
|---|---|
| Carrier or freight invoice with accessorial line items | a vendor invoice |
| Customer order or booking request sent as a PDF | a sales order |
| Fuel or supplier invoice coded across cost centers | a vendor invoice |
| Rate quote or RFQ needing quick turnaround | a sales quotation |
| Made-to-order RFQ or request for pricing | a sales quotation in Dynamics 365 |
A worked example
Dynamics 365 for logistics and 3PL providers, from inbox to posted record
Imagine a 3PL provider running Dynamics 365 that receives a carrier invoice carrying detention and lumper accessorials, it has to reconcile against the original rate quote. 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 Dynamics 365 as a vendor invoice through the Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain OData data entities. Posts to the Finance & Supply Chain OData data entities, header first and then each line, signed in with an Azure AD app registration. Your logistics & 3pl team reviews the occasional exception instead of retyping the whole document, so hours go to moving freight instead of reconciling accessorials by hand.

Dynamics 365 for Logistics & 3PL FAQ
How does DynamoDocs handle logistics & 3pl documents on Dynamics 365?
For logistics and 3PL providers, carrier and freight invoices with accessorial charges plus customer orders arrive in every format and get reconciled by hand. 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 Dynamics 365 through the Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain OData data entities. Posts to the Finance & Supply Chain OData data entities, header first and then each line, signed in with an Azure AD app registration. Clean documents post automatically; only exceptions reach a person, so hours go to moving freight instead of reconciling accessorials by hand.
How does a carrier or freight invoice with accessorial line items post into Dynamics 365?
It becomes a vendor invoice in Dynamics 365, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Creates vendor invoices, sales orders, and sales quotations. A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what Dynamics 365 expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.
Does it assign cost center and customer or load on Dynamics 365 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 customer or load for you, but where a document prints them they can be captured as added fields and mapped into the record Dynamics 365 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 logistics and 3PL providers post into Dynamics 365?
Purchase orders become a sales order and RFQs become a sales quotation in Dynamics 365, with every line, carrier and freight invoices included, read and validated first. Fills the legal entity from your default when the document does not name one, and maps vendor and customer accounts, ledger accounts, and item numbers to yours.
How much time and money does this save logistics and 3PL providers on Dynamics 365?
Keying one document into Dynamics 365 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 hours go to moving freight instead of reconciling accessorials by hand.
