Comprehensive Solution Details

  • Map custom fields from Ebay listings (e.g., specific item attributes) to Dynamics AX product master or sales order lines.
  • Create custom fields in AX to store specific Ebay order metadata (e.g., buyer feedback scores, listing format).
  • Extend standard AX entities (e.g., Customer, Sales Order) with additional fields to capture Ebay-specific details.

Robust Integration Architecture for Scalable Operations

Our integration architecture is built on a modern iPaaS foundation, designed for scalability, reliability, and security. It leverages an event-driven approach where possible, ensuring real-time responsiveness and efficient resource utilization.

Data Flow Steps

Event-Driven Architecture: Utilizing Ebay webhooks for immediate notification of critical events (new orders, refunds).

API-First Integration: Exposing and consuming APIs from both systems via the iPaaS for granular control and real-time data exchange.

Canonical Data Model: Defining a standardized data format within the iPaaS to simplify transformations between disparate schemas.

Batch Processing for Bulk Operations: Grouping non-real-time updates (e.g., daily product catalog sync) to optimize API usage and AX performance.

Circuit Breaker Pattern: To prevent cascading failures by temporarily halting integration flows when a connected system (Ebay or AX) is unresponsive or exceeding limits.

Idempotent Design: Ensuring that repeated execution of an integration step does not cause unintended side effects (e.g., duplicate order creation).

Ebay Microsoft Fields

[field, orderId],[type, String],[description, Unique Ebay order identifier.] [field, creationDate],[type, DateTime],[description, Date and time the order was placed.] [field, pricingSummary.total],[type, Decimal],[description, Total order amount including shipping and tax.] [field, buyer.username],[type, String],[description, Ebay buyer's username.] [field, shippingServiceSelected.shippingAddress],[type, Object],[description, Buyer's shipping address.] [field, lineItems[].sku],[type, String],[description, SKU of purchased item.] [field, lineItems[].quantity],[type, Integer],[description, Quantity of item purchased.] [field, orderFulfillmentStatus],[type, Enum],[description, Ebay's fulfillment status (e.g., FULFILLED, NOT_FULFILLED).]

Dynamics AX Fields

[field, SalesId],[type, String],[description, Unique Dynamics AX sales order ID.] [field, CustAccount],[type, String],[description, Customer account number in AX.] [field, OrderDate],[type, DateTime],[description, Date of sales order creation.] [field, TotalAmount],[type, Decimal],[description, Total sales order amount.] [field, SalesOrderLines[].ItemId],[type, String],[description, Product ID in AX.] [field, SalesOrderLines[].QtyOrdered],[type, Decimal],[description, Quantity ordered.] [field, SalesStatus],[type, Enum],[description, AX sales order status (e.g., Open order, Delivered, Invoiced).] [field, DeliveryAddress],[type, Object],[description, Customer delivery address.]

Mapping Notes

Ebay's 'orderId' maps to a custom field or 'SalesId' prefix in AX. 'lineItems' require iterative mapping to 'SalesOrderLines'. Buyer's shipping address needs to be parsed and mapped to AX's address structure. 'orderFulfillmentStatus' maps to 'SalesStatus' and triggers subsequent AX workflows.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
GET, POST /sell/fulfillment/v1/order Retrieve detailed order information from Ebay, manage fulfillment status, and update tracking details. Essential for order-to-cash workflows.
GET, POST, PUT, DELETE /sell/inventory/v1/inventory_item Manage inventory items on Ebay, including quantity, pricing, and product details. Central for preventing overselling.
GET, POST, PUT, DELETE /sell/listing/v1/listing Create, revise, end, or retrieve details about active or ended Ebay listings. Used for product master data synchronization.
GET /sell/analytics/v1/traffic_report Retrieve sales and traffic performance data for listings to inform business decisions.

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Order Mapping: Ebay's 'pricingSummary' elements are aggregated and mapped to AX 'TotalAmount', ensuring tax and shipping are handled correctly.
  • Address Standardization: Buyer addresses from Ebay are normalized and validated against postal standards before creating/updating customer records in AX.
  • SKU Harmonization: All product identifiers ('sku', 'ItemId') are cross-referenced to maintain a canonical mapping, preventing data discrepancies.
  • Status Synchronization: Ebay 'orderFulfillmentStatus' translates to specific 'SalesStatus' updates in AX (e.g., 'FULFILLED' to 'Delivered').
  • Financial Dimensions: Ebay transaction data is mapped to appropriate Dynamics AX financial dimensions for accurate GL posting and reporting.
  • Data Enrichment: Missing or incomplete data from Ebay (e.g., customer type) can be enriched with default values or derived logic before entering AX.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Ebay Order Creation Failure in AX: Due to invalid product ID, missing customer, or AX service unavailability. (iPaaS retries, then dead-letters).
  • Inventory Update Rejection by Ebay: Due to invalid SKU or insufficient quantity. (iPaaS logs, notifies, possibly reverts AX stock).
  • Duplicate Sales Order: Prevented by idempotency checks based on Ebay Order ID.
  • Data Type Mismatch: (e.g., string instead of numeric for price) Handled by transformation rules and AI validation.
  • Network Timeout: Between iPaaS and either system. (iPaaS retries with backoff).
