"The integration architecture features a central iPaaS acting as the orchestrator. Data flows from Dynamics AX (e.g., Sales Orders via AIF) to the iPaaS. The iPaaS then transforms and validates this data, before pushing it to Oracle JD Edwards (e.g., Sales Order Entry via Orchestrator). Conversely, JD Edwards data (e.g., Inventory Balance updates via Orchestrator) can flow to the iPaaS, be transformed, and then update Dynamics AX (e.g., Inventory Journal via AIF). Master data (Customer, Vendor, Product/Item) typically flows bi-directionally, with conflict resolution handled by the iPaaS based on defined business rules. All communication is secured with TLS/HTTPS, and AI-driven validation layers are applied at various stages."

Data Mapping

Key Entity Mapping: Dynamics AX to Oracle JD Edwards

Achieving seamless data flow between Dynamics AX and Oracle JD Edwards requires meticulous mapping of core business entities. Our iPaaS provides a visual, AI-assisted mapping canvas that simplifies this complex process, ensuring data integrity and consistency across both ERPs.

Sales Order

The customer's request for products/services, central to order-to-cash. Involves both header and line item data.

Dynamics AX Fields

SalesId CustAccount ItemId QtyOrdered SalesPrice SalesStatus DeliveryDate SalesOrderLines (ItemId, QtyOrdered, SalesPrice)

Oracle JD Edwards Fields

DOCO (Order Number) DCTO (Order Type) AN8 (Customer Address Book Number) ITM (Item Number) UORG (Quantity Ordered) LNID (Line Number) DRQJ (Requested Date) UOM1 (Unit of Measure)

Mapping Notes

Requires careful mapping of `SalesId` to `DOCO` (potentially with prefix for uniqueness). `CustAccount` must map to `AN8`. `ItemId` to `ITM`. Sales Order Statuses (`SalesStatus`) need translation to JDE Order Statuses. Consider UOM conversions. Header and line items must be created atomically for consistency.
