Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping for Epicor E9 & Authorize.Net

Our iPaaS facilitates precise, field-level mapping between Epicor E9 and Authorize.Net entities, ensuring data integrity and consistency across your financial ecosystem. AI-assisted mapping accelerates this process, inferring relationships and suggesting transformations.

Transaction

The core payment event in Authorize.Net. Maps to Epicor E9's financial records like Cash Receipts, Invoices, or Sales Order payment details.

Epicor E9 Fields

{ "field": "SalesOrder.OrderNum", "type": "string", "notes": "Links to the originating sales order." } { "field": "Customer.CustNum", "type": "int", "notes": "Customer identifier." } { "field": "Invoice.InvoiceNum", "type": "string", "notes": "For settled transactions, links to the invoice." } { "field": "CashReceipt.ReceiptAmt", "type": "decimal", "notes": "Amount received." } { "field": "CashReceipt.Reference", "type": "string", "notes": "Stores Authorize.Net transaction ID." } { "field": "PartTran.TranType", "type": "string", "notes": "For inventory updates related to order fulfillment." }

AuthorizeNet Fields

{ "field": "transactionId", "type": "string", "notes": "Unique Authorize.Net transaction identifier." } { "field": "amount", "type": "decimal", "notes": "Transaction amount." } { "field": "transactionType", "type": "string", "notes": "AuthCapture, Refund, Void etc." } { "field": "transactionStatus", "type": "string", "notes": "Approved, Declined, Held." } { "field": "invoiceNumber", "type": "string", "notes": "Merchant-provided invoice number, often Epicor Sales Order Num." } { "field": "customerProfileId", "type": "string", "notes": "Links to CIM profile." }

Mapping Notes

Epicor E9's 'Reference' field in Cash Receipts is critical for storing the Authorize.Net `transactionId` for future lookups (e.g., refunds). `invoiceNumber` from Authorize.Net should map to Epicor E9 `SalesOrder.OrderNum` or `Invoice.InvoiceNum` for traceability. Transaction `amount` maps directly to `CashReceipt.ReceiptAmt`.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about integration implementation, security, and best practices.

General Integration FAQs

How does iPaaS enhance Authorize.Net's core functionality with Epicor E9?
iPaaS platforms transform Authorize.Net from a standalone payment gateway into a fully integrated, automated financial hub for Epicor E9. They provide connectors for Epicor E9, enable real-time data orchestration, automate complex workflows like reconciliation and fraud detection, and offer low-code tools for rapid integration development, vastly expanding Authorize.Net's utility within your ERP ecosystem.

Security & Compliance FAQs

Is Epicor E9 and Authorize.Net integration PCI DSS compliant with iPaaS?
Yes, when implemented correctly. Our modern iPaaS is designed with security in mind. By leveraging Authorize.Net's Customer Information Manager (CIM) for tokenization, ensuring raw card data never touches Epicor E9 or the iPaaS, and adhering to best practices for secure credential management, data encryption, and access control, you maintain full PCI DSS compliance.

Low-Code FAQs

Can I use low-code tools to build Epicor E9 and Authorize.Net workflows?
Absolutely. Our modern iPaaS platform offers robust low-code/no-code environments. This allows business analysts and citizen integrators to visually design, deploy, and manage complex workflows for tasks like order processing, recurring billing, and refund management between Epicor E9 and Authorize.Net without writing extensive code, accelerating development and reducing IT backlog.

Financial Reconciliation FAQs

How can I automate Authorize.Net payment reconciliation with Epicor E9's General Ledger?
An iPaaS can automate this by scheduling daily jobs to retrieve Authorize.Net settlement batch reports, transforming the data to match your Epicor E9's General Ledger structure, and then automatically posting journal entries. AI can further enhance this by flagging discrepancies or anomalies for investigation, significantly reducing manual accounting efforts.

Payment Processing FAQs

What's the difference between a 'void' and a 'refund' with Authorize.Net in the context of Epicor E9?
A 'void' cancels an authorized transaction before it has settled (typically within the same business day), meaning funds are never fully transferred. An iPaaS would update the Epicor E9 Sales Order status or reverse a temporary payment hold. A 'refund' reverses a transaction that has already settled and funds have been captured, returning money to the customer. This would typically trigger a Credit Memo and a Cash Receipt reversal in Epicor E9 via the iPaaS.

Technical FAQs

How do webhooks improve Epicor E9 and Authorize.Net integration efficiency?
Webhooks enable real-time, event-driven communication. Instead of constantly polling Authorize.Net for updates, webhooks push notifications (e.g., transaction successful, fraud alert) to your iPaaS as they happen. This triggers immediate downstream workflows in Epicor E9 (e.g., creating a cash receipt), significantly reducing latency, API overhead, and ensuring Epicor E9 always has the most current payment status.

Multi-Channel FAQs

Can Authorize.Net integrate with multiple eCommerce platforms and Epicor E9 simultaneously?
Yes, with a modern iPaaS, you can connect Authorize.Net to multiple eCommerce platforms (e.g., Shopify, Magento) concurrently, and then centralize all payment and order data synchronization with Epicor E9. The iPaaS acts as a central hub, orchestrating payment processing and data synchronization across all your sales channels and ERP from a single Authorize.Net account.

AI & Automation FAQs

What is the role of AI in Epicor E9 and Authorize.Net integrations?
AI significantly augments these integrations by providing intelligent capabilities such as enhanced fraud detection and anomaly scoring (integrating with Authorize.Net AFDS), automated reconciliation by identifying discrepancies in Epicor E9 GL postings, smart routing of payment exceptions, and even suggesting optimal data mappings for new Epicor E9 fields, leading to higher accuracy and efficiency.
