IFS Cloud for manufacturers
IFS Cloud document automation for manufacturers
DynamoDocs captures the raw-material and MRO supplier invoices, customer POs with dozens of part-level lines, and made-to-order RFQs that manufacturers deal with every day, reads them with AI, validates every field, and posts them into IFS Cloud. Your team reviews the exceptions instead of retyping each one.

The short version
DynamoDocs automates IFS Cloud document entry for manufacturers. For manufacturers, supplier invoices for raw materials and MRO, customer purchase orders with long line-item grids, and RFQs that need fast, accurate quotes all arrive by email and get retyped by hand. DynamoDocs captures each document, AI reads and classifies it, codes it to GL account, department, and job or work order, validates it, and posts approved records into IFS Cloud through the IFS Cloud REST/OData APIs, so a mis-keyed part number never stalls a production run or a month-end close. IFS Cloud runs ERP, EAM, and field service for asset- and project-intensive enterprises in manufacturing, energy, and aerospace & defense.
The mapping
How Manufacturing paperwork posts into IFS Cloud
Each document is coded to GL account, department, and job or work order and posted into IFS Cloud as the right native record. Nothing gets dropped into a CSV to clean up later.
| What manufacturers send | Where it lands in IFS Cloud |
|---|---|
| Multi-page supplier invoice with dozens of part-level lines | a supplier invoice, coded to GL account, department, and job or work order |
| Raw-material or MRO purchase order | a customer order, coded to GL account, department, and job or work order |
| Customer PO that has to become a production-ready order | a customer order, coded to GL account, department, and job or work order |
| Made-to-order RFQ needing a same-day quote | a quotation, coded to GL account, department, and job or work order |
| Freight or MRO bill coded to a cost center | a supplier invoice, coded to GL account, department, and job or work order |
| Made-to-order RFQ or request for pricing | a quotation in IFS Cloud |
A worked example
IFS Cloud for manufacturers, from inbox to posted record
Imagine a contract manufacturer running IFS Cloud that receives a 40-line supplier invoice for steel and fasteners, the vendor uses its own abbreviated part codes. 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 GL account, department, and job or work order 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 IFS Cloud as a supplier invoice through the IFS Cloud REST/OData APIs. Connects through the IFS Cloud REST/OData projection APIs. Your manufacturing team reviews the occasional exception instead of retyping the whole document, so a mis-keyed part number never stalls a production run or a month-end close.

IFS Cloud for Manufacturing FAQ
How does DynamoDocs handle manufacturing documents on IFS Cloud?
For manufacturers, supplier invoices for raw materials and MRO, customer purchase orders with long line-item grids, and RFQs that need fast, accurate quotes all arrive by email and get retyped by hand. 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 GL account, department, and job or work order, and posts it into IFS Cloud through the IFS Cloud REST/OData APIs. Connects through the IFS Cloud REST/OData projection APIs. Clean documents post automatically; only exceptions reach a person, so a mis-keyed part number never stalls a production run or a month-end close.
How does a multi-page supplier invoice with dozens of part-level lines post into IFS Cloud?
It becomes a supplier invoice in IFS Cloud, coded to the right GL account, department, and job or work order, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Posts supplier invoices, customer orders, and quotations. A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what IFS Cloud expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.
Can it keep our IFS Cloud coding right for manufacturing?
Yes, that is the point. Each document is coded to the right GL account, department, and job or work order from your rules and vendor or customer history, so records arrive in IFS Cloud already coded instead of waiting on a clerk. Anything that fails a rule is flagged field-by-field for a quick fix, which keeps IFS Cloud clean and a mis-keyed part number never stalls a production run or a month-end close.
How do purchase orders and RFQs from manufacturers post into IFS Cloud?
Purchase orders become a customer order and RFQs become a quotation in IFS Cloud, with every line, raw-material and MRO supplier invoices included, read and validated first. Maps to your IFS company, site, and part numbers, with project references where they apply.
How much time and money does this save manufacturers on IFS Cloud?
Keying one document into IFS Cloud typically takes 5–10 minutes and costs $2–$6 in labor, before the cost of fixing mis-coded GL account, department, and job or work order. DynamoDocs does it in seconds and only flags exceptions, which commonly cuts document-handling labor by 80–95% while a mis-keyed part number never stalls a production run or a month-end close.
