Dynamics CRM & GP Integration: Architecture & Flow

Our iPaaS acts as the central nervous system, orchestrating data movement and workflow automation between Dynamics CRM's Dataverse and Dynamics GP's robust ERP functionalities. We prioritize an API-first, event-driven approach for optimal performance and real-time accuracy.

Data Flow Steps

Event Trigger: A change occurs in either Dynamics CRM (e.g., new Sales Order, updated Account) or Dynamics GP (e.g., new Item, updated Customer).

iPaaS Listener/Poller: The iPaaS uses Dynamics CRM's Dataverse events/webhooks for real-time triggers and intelligently polls Dynamics GP Web Services/eConnect for relevant changes.

Data Extraction: Relevant data is extracted from the source system via its respective API.

Data Transformation & Validation: The iPaaS's visual mapping engine transforms the extracted data to match the target system's schema. AI-assisted validation rules ensure data quality, consistency, and adherence to business logic (e.g., deduplication, data type conversion, default value assignment).

Business Logic & Orchestration: Conditional logic and workflow rules are applied (e.g., only push qualified leads, route orders based on region). The iPaaS orchestrates multi-step processes.

Data Ingestion: The transformed and validated data is pushed to the target system via its API.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Any failures are logged, retries are attempted (with exponential backoff), and critical errors are routed to a dead-letter queue with notifications to relevant teams. Real-time dashboards provide end-to-end visibility.

Data Touchpoints

Customer/Account: CRM 'Account'/'Contact' <=> GP 'Customer' (RM00101)
Sales Orders: CRM 'Sales Order' => GP 'Sales Order' (SOPHDRWORK, SOPLINEWORK)
Products/Items: GP 'Item' (IV00101) => CRM 'Product' / 'Price List Item'
Financial Data: GP 'Payment' / 'GL Transaction' => CRM 'Account' (custom fields)
Opportunities/Leads: CRM 'Lead' / 'Opportunity' (no direct GP equivalent, feeds into GP Sales Orders)

Data Mapping

Core Entities & Intelligent Mapping for Dynamics CRM & GP

Achieving a single source of truth requires meticulous mapping of key entities between Dynamics CRM and Dynamics GP. Our iPaaS streamlines this process with AI-powered suggestions and robust transformation capabilities.

Customer / Account (CRM: Account, Contact | GP: RM00101)

Harmonizing customer master data is fundamental. Dynamics CRM's 'Account' and associated 'Contact' records map to Dynamics GP's 'Customer' master (RM00101). This includes billing/shipping addresses, contact details, and credit terms.

Dynamics CRM Fields

accountid name accountnumber primarycontactid address1_composite creditlimit

Dynamics GP Fields

CUSTNMBR CUSTNAME ADRSCODE ADDRESS1 CITY STATE ZIPCODE PHONE1 EMAIL CRLIMIT

Mapping Notes

Primary key mapping uses `accountid` (CRM) to `CUSTNMBR` (GP) or a custom external ID. Address entities often require complex transformations for standardization. `CRLIMIT` in GP can be mapped to a custom `Credit Limit` field in CRM.

eCommerce Order Synchronization & Inventory Update

When an order is placed on an eCommerce platform, it's captured by the iPaaS, creates/updates the customer in Dynamics CRM, creates a Sales Order in CRM, and then pushes to Dynamics GP for fulfillment. Inventory levels in GP are updated in real-time, and these updates reflect back in CRM and the eCommerce platform.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer places order on Shopify/Adobe Commerce.
  2. 1 iPaaS captures order event.
  3. 2 iPaaS creates/updates 'Account' and 'Contact' in Dynamics CRM.
  4. 3 iPaaS creates 'Sales Order' in Dynamics CRM with line items.
