Technical Integration Details: Connecting Epicor E9 and BNG

Our iPaaS provides the robust framework for connecting Epicor E9 and BNG, facilitating secure, scalable, and intelligent data exchange. It abstracts the complexity of disparate APIs, offering a unified platform for building and managing all integration flows.

Data Flow Steps

**Connect to Epicor E9 & BNG:** Establish secure connections using pre-built connectors that handle authentication (OAuth 2.0, API Keys) and API interactions for both systems.

**Define Event Triggers:** Configure webhooks (if supported by BNG/Epicor E9) or intelligent polling mechanisms within the iPaaS to detect data changes in real-time.

**Design Workflows:** Visually model multi-step integration flows using drag-and-drop tools, defining the sequence of operations (e.g., 'New Sales Order in BNG' -> 'Create Customer in Epicor E9' -> 'Create Sales Order in Epicor E9').

**Map & Transform Data:** Utilize the visual data mapper with AI assistance to transform data structures between BNG's schema and Epicor E9's requirements, including complex business logic and data validation.

**Implement Error Handling & Retries:** Configure automated retry mechanisms with exponential backoff for transient failures and dead-letter queues (DLQs) for persistent errors, ensuring message durability.

**Deploy & Monitor:** Deploy integrations across Dev, QA, and Production environments with version control. Monitor real-time dashboards for performance, errors, and data flow health, with proactive alerting.

Data Touchpoints

BNG: Customer, Product, Sales Order, Invoice, Payment, Inventory Item, Vendor, Purchase Order, General Ledger Entry, Employee
Epicor E9: Customer, Part (Product), Sales Order, AR Invoice, Cash Receipt (Payment), Part Master (Inventory Item), Supplier (Vendor), Purchase Order, Journal Entry (General Ledger Entry), Employee

"A central iPaaS platform acts as the integration hub. Data flows from BNG (e.g., Sales Orders, Customer updates, Inventory changes) to the iPaaS via webhooks or API calls. The iPaaS performs data transformation, validation, and enrichment, then pushes the harmonized data into Epicor E9 (e.g., Sales Order creation, Customer updates, GL entries) via Epicor E9's APIs. Bidirectional flows are supported for master data synchronization or status updates back to BNG."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Data Mapping: Epicor E9 and BNG

Understanding how core business entities map between Epicor E9 and BNG is fundamental to a successful integration. Our iPaaS provides a visual, AI-assisted mapping canvas to streamline this complex process.

Customer

Represents an individual or organization that purchases goods or services. Critical for CRM, sales, and financial modules.

Epicor E9 Fields

CustNum (Epicor E9 ID) CustID (User-defined ID) Name Address1 City State Zip PhoneNum EmailAddress CreditLimit TermsCode TaxExempt

BNG Fields

CustomerID (BNG internal ID) ExternalID (e.g., CRM ID) CompanyName FirstName LastName Email BillingAddress ShippingAddress Phone Status CreditLimit TaxExemptStatus

Mapping Notes

Requires careful ID mapping (e.g., BNG's ExternalID to Epicor E9's CustID, or a custom field). Deduplication logic is crucial. Epicor E9's 'TermsCode' needs to be mapped from BNG's payment terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General Integration FAQs

What is the best way to integrate Epicor E9 with BNG?
The most effective approach is to use a modern iPaaS platform. This allows for API-first, event-driven integration, syncing entities like orders, inventory, product data, and customer information in real-time between Epicor E9 and BNG. It moves beyond fragile point-to-point connections, offering scalability, robust error handling, and low-code workflow design for seamless operations.

Financial FAQs

Can Epicor E9 integrations support high-volume payment processing from BNG?
Absolutely. By integrating BNG with payment gateways via an iPaaS, you can handle high transaction volumes securely. The iPaaS orchestrates payment capture, applies payments to Epicor E9 invoices, automates reconciliation, and can trigger fraud detection. This ensures financial accuracy and accelerates your financial close processes.

iPaaS Capabilities FAQs

How do low-code/no-code tools enhance Epicor E9 and BNG automation?
Low-code/no-code tools within an iPaaS empower business users, not just developers, to design and deploy Epicor E9 and BNG-centric workflows. This democratizes automation, allowing teams to quickly build integrations for tasks like customer onboarding, report generation, or data validation, significantly reducing IT backlog and speeding up process improvements.

AI Features FAQs

What kind of AI capabilities can I add to my Epicor E9 and BNG integrations?
AI can augment Epicor E9 and BNG integrations in powerful ways. This includes AI-driven data validation for incoming orders, anomaly detection for financial transactions, intelligent document processing for invoices, and predictive insights for inventory or sales forecasting. AI within the iPaaS can also suggest data mappings and automate exception handling, making your Epicor E9 and BNG workflows smarter and more resilient.

Data Management FAQs

How do I ensure data consistency between Epicor E9, BNG, and other systems?
Data consistency is achieved through a centralized iPaaS that performs data harmonization and transformation. It maps disparate schemas, applies business rules, and validates data before it enters or leaves Epicor E9 or BNG, ensuring that entities like Customer, Product, and Order are always synchronized and accurate across all connected applications.

Challenges & Solutions FAQs

What are the common challenges when integrating Epicor E9 with BNG?
Common challenges include dealing with Epicor E9's specific data models and potential API limitations, managing API rate limits for both systems, ensuring data consistency across multiple systems, handling complex business logic, and maintaining integrations as systems evolve. A robust iPaaS addresses these by providing flexible mapping, error handling, governance, and scalable architecture.

Technical FAQs

Does Epicor E9 support event-driven architecture for real-time updates?
While Epicor E9's native eventing capabilities may vary by version, a modern iPaaS can enable event-driven architecture. It can use webhooks (if Epicor E9 supports them), change data capture (CDC), or intelligent polling to detect changes in Epicor E9 and trigger downstream processes in BNG or other systems in real-time, making your integrations highly responsive.

Error Handling FAQs

How do I handle errors and exceptions in Epicor E9 and BNG integration workflows?
Effective error handling involves automatic retries for transient issues, routing failed messages to a dead-letter queue (DLQ) for manual review, and configuring alerts for critical failures. An iPaaS should also allow for custom error logic, such as notifying specific teams or triggering alternative workflows, and AI can assist in predicting and resolving common errors.
