Data Mapping

Data Entity Mapping

Explore how data flows between systems with intelligent field mapping and transformation logic.

Payment Transaction

The core financial event representing authorization, capture, sale, refund, or void from Cybersource, mapped to payment applications or journal entries in Epicor Eclipse.

Epicor Eclipse Fields

[field, SalesOrder.OrderNum],[type, string],[notes, Used for linking payment to the specific sales order.] [field, Invoice.InvoiceNum],[type, string],[notes, Reference for captured payments or refunds.] [field, GLJournalEntry.DebitCredit],[type, decimal],[notes, For posting payment amounts to respective GL accounts.] [field, Payment.PaymentAmount],[type, decimal],[notes, Applied amount from the payment.] [field, Payment.PaymentReference],[type, string],[notes, Stores Cybersource transactionId for reconciliation.]

Cybersource Fields

[field, transactionId],[type, string],[notes, Unique identifier for the Cybersource transaction.] [field, merchantDefinedData],[type, object],[notes, Custom fields to pass Epicor Eclipse OrderNum, CustomerID, etc.] [field, amount],[type, decimal],[notes, Transaction amount.] [field, currency],[type, string],[notes, Currency code (e.g., USD).] [field, status],[type, string],[notes, Payment status (e.g., AUTHORIZED, CAPTURED, REFUNDED).] [field, authCode],[type, string],[notes, Authorization code.] [field, reasonCode],[type, string],[notes, Reason for failure or success.] [field, requestID],[type, string],[notes, Unique request identifier for Cybersource API call.]

Mapping Notes

The `transactionId` from Cybersource is crucial for cross-referencing in Epicor Eclipse. `merchantDefinedData` within Cybersource requests is leveraged to pass Epicor Eclipse's `OrderNum` or `InvoiceNum` for direct linking. Payment status changes in Cybersource drive updates in Epicor Eclipse (e.g., Sales Order status, Invoice payment application).

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General FAQs

What is Cybersource and how does it fit into my enterprise ecosystem?
Cybersource, a Visa solution, is a global payment management platform offering payment gateway, fraud management, and payment security services. In an enterprise ecosystem, it acts as the secure conduit for processing all digital payments, integrating with your eCommerce platform (for online sales), Epicor Eclipse ERP (for financial reconciliation), CRM (for customer payment profiles), and billing systems (for subscriptions).

iPaaS Benefits FAQs

Why should I integrate Cybersource with Epicor Eclipse using an iPaaS instead of custom code?
An iPaaS provides a scalable, low-code/no-code environment for connecting Cybersource to Epicor Eclipse and all your enterprise systems. It offers pre-built connectors, robust data mapping, error handling, and monitoring, significantly reducing development time, maintenance costs, and technical debt compared to custom-coded point-to-point integrations. It also centralizes orchestration and governance, accelerating your time to value.

Fraud Management FAQs

How does iPaaS enhance Cybersource's fraud management capabilities with Epicor Eclipse?
iPaaS can ingest fraud decisions from Cybersource Decision Manager in real-time via webhooks. It can then orchestrate automated responses across systems – such as holding an order in Epicor Eclipse, creating a review task in CRM, notifying a fraud analyst via Slack, or even triggering an AI model for further risk assessment, creating a more dynamic and efficient fraud workflow that proactively protects your revenue.

Security & Compliance FAQs

Is Cybersource integration PCI DSS compliant when using an iPaaS with Epicor Eclipse?
Yes, when implemented correctly. The key is to ensure that your iPaaS and Epicor Eclipse never store or process raw cardholder data. By leveraging Cybersource's tokenization services (e.g., Secure Acceptance), your iPaaS only handles secure tokens, keeping sensitive data out of your environment and significantly reducing your PCI DSS scope and compliance burden.

Financial Reconciliation FAQs

Can I automate payment reconciliation between Cybersource and Epicor Eclipse's General Ledger with iPaaS?
Absolutely. iPaaS can be configured to automatically download daily settlement reports from Cybersource, parse the data (gross sales, refunds, fees, chargebacks), harmonize it with your Epicor Eclipse's chart of accounts, and then create corresponding journal entries or payment batches in your ERP's General Ledger. This dramatically speeds up financial close, reduces manual effort, and improves accuracy.

Technical FAQs

What kind of data transformation is typically needed for Epicor Eclipse Cybersource integrations?
Data transformation often involves mapping eCommerce order fields to Cybersource payment request fields, converting currency formats, harmonizing customer addresses, passing Epicor Eclipse `OrderNum` via `merchantDefinedData`, and transforming Cybersource settlement data into Epicor Eclipse-specific journal entry formats and GL account mappings. iPaaS mapping engines are crucial for these tasks.
How do I manage different Cybersource environments (sandbox, production) with iPaaS for Epicor Eclipse?
A robust iPaaS supports environment promotion pipelines (Dev -> QA -> Prod). This allows you to configure separate Cybersource sandbox API keys and endpoints for testing and then seamlessly promote your integration flows to production using production API keys and endpoints, ensuring proper segregation and thorough testing before impacting live Epicor Eclipse data.

AI Enhancements FAQs

Can AI help with Cybersource data mapping and validation for Epicor Eclipse?
Yes, AI can significantly augment data mapping by suggesting optimal field mappings based on historical data patterns and semantic analysis. For validation, AI can detect anomalies in transaction data, flag potentially incorrect amounts or customer details before they are sent to Cybersource or posted to Epicor Eclipse, improving data quality and reducing errors and reconciliation effort.
