Infor XA 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 Infor XA. Your team reviews the exceptions instead of retyping each one.

DynamoDocs automates Infor XA 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, 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 a mis-keyed part number never stalls a production run or a month-end close. 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 manufacturers, from inbox to posted record

Imagine a contract manufacturer running Infor XA 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. 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 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.

Infor XA for Manufacturing FAQ

How does DynamoDocs handle manufacturing documents on Infor XA?

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), 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 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 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 department and job or work order 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 department and job or work order 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 manufacturers post into Infor XA?

Purchase orders become a customer order and RFQs become a customer quote in Infor XA, with every line, raw-material and MRO 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 manufacturers 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 a mis-keyed part number never stalls a production run or a month-end close.
