Payment / Transaction

Represents the financial exchange details. BridgePay handles the authorization, capture, and settlement, while abas ERP records the corresponding financial ledger entries and payment applications.

abas ERP & BridgePay: Fields

[field, Payment ID],[type, string],[description, Unique identifier for the payment in abas ERP] [field, GL Account],[type, string],[description, General Ledger account for posting] [field, Amount],[type, decimal],[description, Transaction amount] [field, Currency],[type, string],[description, Transaction currency] [field, Payment Status],[type, string],[description, e.g., Paid, Pending, Failed, Refunded] [field, Reference ID (Order/Invoice)],[type, string],[description, Link to originating order or invoice] [field, Payment Date],[type, datetime],[description, Date of payment] [field, Bank Statement Line ID],[type, string],[description, For reconciliation purposes]

Streamline Payments & Finance Fields

[field, paymentId],[type, string],[description, BridgePay's unique payment ID] [field, transactionId],[type, string],[description, BridgePay's definitive transaction record ID] [field, amount],[type, decimal],[description, Transaction amount] [field, currency],[type, string],[description, Transaction currency] [field, status],[type, string],[description, Payment status (sale, auth, refund, void)] [field, type],[type, string],[description, Transaction type (sale, auth, refund)] [field, settlementDate],[type, datetime],[description, Date of settlement] [field, referenceId],[type, string],[description, Often the originating system's order ID] [field, paymentMethodType],[type, string],[description, e.g., Credit Card, ACH] [field, token],[type, string],[description, Tokenized payment method]

Mapping Notes

The BridgePay `transactionId` is typically mapped to a custom field or a reference field in abas ERP's payment records to ensure a clear audit trail. BridgePay's `status` values must be carefully mapped to abas ERP's payment lifecycle stages for accurate GL postings and reporting. `amount` and `currency` require direct mapping and potential currency conversion rules if multi-currency operations are involved.

Method Endpoint Purpose

Transformation Logic

  • Currency Conversion: If abas ERP and BridgePay operate in different base currencies, the iPaaS applies real-time exchange rates for accurate financial reporting.
  • Status Mapping: Standardize payment and order statuses between BridgePay's specific event types and abas ERP's accounting/workflow statuses (e.g., 'sale_completed' to 'Paid').
  • Data Enrichment: Add abas ERP specific GL account codes, cost centers, or project IDs to BridgePay transaction data during posting.
  • Address Standardization: Format customer billing and shipping addresses to match abas ERP's schema.
  • ID Harmonization: Ensure consistent use of `Customer ID` and `Order ID` across both systems by linking BridgePay's `referenceId` to abas ERP's primary keys.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Payment Gateway Downtime: iPaaS retries payments, routes to dead-letter queue if persistent, and alerts stakeholders.
  • Invalid Data from BridgePay: AI-validation flags data, prevents posting to abas ERP, and triggers an alert for review.
  • abas ERP API Unavailability: iPaaS queues messages, retries connections, and notifies IT/finance.
  • Duplicate Transaction: Idempotency checks prevent re-processing, logs the attempt.
  • Mismatch in Settlement Amounts: AI flags discrepancies in `netAmount` vs. `grossAmount` - `fees`.
