Plex 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 Plex. Your team reviews the exceptions instead of retyping each one.

DynamoDocs automates Plex 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 Plex through a REST endpoint in front of Plex, or CSV files for a Plex upload, so a mis-keyed part number never stalls a production run or a month-end close. Plex (Rockwell) is a cloud-native manufacturing platform built for the plant floor, where AP and order entry compete with production for attention.
The mapping
How Manufacturing paperwork posts into Plex
Each document is validated, then delivered to Plex as the record below.
| What manufacturers send | Where it lands in Plex |
|---|---|
| Multi-page supplier invoice with dozens of part-level lines | an AP voucher |
| Raw-material or MRO purchase order | a sales order |
| Customer PO that has to become a production-ready order | a sales order |
| Made-to-order RFQ needing a same-day quote | a quote |
| Freight or MRO bill coded to a cost center | an AP voucher |
| Made-to-order RFQ or request for pricing | a quote in Plex |
A worked example
Plex for manufacturers, from inbox to posted record
Imagine a contract manufacturer running Plex 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 Plex as an AP voucher through a REST endpoint in front of Plex, or CSV files for a Plex upload. Delivers each mapped record as JSON to a REST endpoint you name, or as a CSV file for an upload. There is no prebuilt Plex connector. 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.

Plex for Manufacturing FAQ
How does DynamoDocs handle manufacturing documents on Plex?
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 Plex through a REST endpoint in front of Plex, or CSV files for a Plex upload. Delivers each mapped record as JSON to a REST endpoint you name, or as a CSV file for an upload. There is no prebuilt Plex connector. 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 Plex?
It becomes an AP voucher in Plex, with header and line-item fields validated before anything posts. Shapes AP vouchers, sales orders, and quotes to the fields you map. A visual field-mapping engine shapes the record into exactly what Plex expects, so nothing is retyped and nothing posts half-filled.
Does it assign department and job or work order on Plex 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 Plex 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 Plex?
Purchase orders become a sales order and RFQs become a quote in Plex, with every line, raw-material and MRO supplier invoices included, read and validated first. Maps suppliers, customers, accounts, and part numbers to the ones already in Plex.
How much time and money does this save manufacturers on Plex?
Keying one document into Plex 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.
