Customer

Synchronizes customer records critical for sales, invoicing, and CRM across both ERPs.

Dynamics NAV Fields

No. Name Address City Post Code Country/Region Code Phone No. E-Mail Currency Code Customer Posting Group Gen. Bus. Posting Group

Epicor E10 Fields

CustNum (Epicor ID) CustID (External/User-defined ID) Name Address1 City State Zip Country PhoneNum EmailAddress TermsCode SalespersonCode

Mapping Notes

NAV's 'No.' often maps to E10's 'CustID' (user-defined external ID), while E10's internal 'CustNum' is auto-generated. Address formats may require transformation (e.g., combining NAV 'Address' fields into E10 'Address1', 'Address2'). 'Customer Posting Group' and 'Gen. Bus. Posting Group' in NAV need to align with E10's financial segments or be derived from E10 'TermsCode'.

Absolutely. Modern iPaaS platforms offer low-code/no-code visual designers that empower business users and citizen integrators to build and manage complex workflows connecting Dynamics NAV and Epicor E10. This significantly reduces development time and reliance on specialized developers.

AI Features FAQs

How does AI enhance Dynamics NAV and Epicor E10 integrations?
AI can augment these integrations by providing intelligent data validation to prevent errors, detecting anomalies in financial transactions, offering automated mapping suggestions between disparate schemas, and even routing exceptions for human review based on context. This improves data quality and reduces manual oversight.

Challenges FAQs

What are the common challenges when integrating these two ERPs?
Common challenges include reconciling schema differences between Dynamics NAV's structured data model and Epicor E10's, ensuring real-time data synchronization for high-volume scenarios (like orders or inventory), managing specific API authentication (Web Service Keys for NAV, token-based for E10), and robustly handling errors. A modern iPaaS is designed to abstract away these complexities.

Reliability FAQs

How do you handle error conditions and failed transactions?
Robust error handling is paramount. Our iPaaS includes comprehensive logging, configurable retry mechanisms (with exponential backoff for transient errors), and dead-letter queues (DLQs) for messages that persistently fail. Dashboards monitor errors, and critical failures trigger automated alerts to relevant teams. AI can even suggest resolutions for common error patterns.

Workflows FAQs

Is real-time inventory synchronization possible between NAV and E10?
Yes, real-time inventory synchronization is a key capability. By leveraging Epicor E10's Business Process Management (BPM) triggers for inventory changes and event-driven workflows in the iPaaS, `OnHandQty` updates can be pushed to Dynamics NAV's `Inventory` in near real-time, preventing overselling and ensuring accurate stock visibility across both systems.

Data Management FAQs

How do I ensure data consistency for master data like Customers and Vendors?
Data consistency is achieved through intelligent data mapping, transformation rules, and validation logic within the iPaaS. By defining canonical data models and leveraging the iPaaS to enforce these standards, data flowing between Dynamics NAV and Epicor E10 (e.g., Customer.No. and CustID, Vendor.No. and VendorNum) is always accurate and in the correct format. AI further assists in validating data quality and identifying duplicates.

Security FAQs

What are the security considerations for this integration?
Security is paramount. We implement strong authentication (least privilege service accounts, secure token/key management), TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit, IP whitelisting, and robust access controls. All credentials are stored securely within the iPaaS's encrypted vault, and comprehensive audit trails ensure compliance.
