Running Epicor Eclipse and SAP S/4HANA in isolation creates a fragmented enterprise, hindering efficiency and data accuracy. Organizations struggle with manual data transfers, delayed insights, and inconsistent information, leading to operational bottlenecks and increased costs.

  • Data Silos & Inconsistency: Critical business data like customer details, product information, and financial records reside in separate systems, leading to discrepancies and unreliable reporting.
  • Manual Processes & Errors: Relying on manual data entry or file transfers between Epicor Eclipse and S/4HANA is time-consuming, prone to human error, and delays critical business cycles.
  • Delayed Insights & Decision-Making: Lack of real-time data synchronization means business leaders operate with outdated information, impacting strategic planning and responsiveness.
  • Operational Bottlenecks: Processes like order fulfillment, procurement, and financial close are slowed down by the need to reconcile data across two complex ERP environments.
  • High Maintenance for Custom Code: Point-to-point integrations or custom scripts are fragile, expensive to maintain, and break with every system upgrade, creating technical debt.
  • Compliance & Audit Risks: Inconsistent financial data and lack of clear audit trails across integrated systems can lead to compliance issues and make audits challenging.

Epicor Eclipse and SAP S/4HANA: Technical Integration Details

Our iPaaS provides a robust, secure, and flexible framework for integrating Epicor Eclipse and SAP S/4HANA, focusing on real-time, event-driven data exchange and comprehensive workflow automation. This section details the technical aspects of connectivity, data flow, and architectural considerations.

Data Flow Steps

Authentication & Connectivity: Securely establish connections to Epicor Eclipse (typically via REST/SOAP APIs, OAuth 2.0 or API Keys) and SAP S/4HANA (primarily OData services, OAuth 2.0).

Event Detection & Triggers: Configure event listeners or webhooks in Epicor Eclipse (where available) or utilize change data capture to detect new or updated records. For S/4HANA, leverage SAP Event Mesh or polling OData services for changes.

Data Extraction: Extract relevant data entities (e.g., Sales Order, Customer, Item from Epicor Eclipse; Business Partner, Material, Sales Order from S/4HANA) using optimized API calls.

Data Transformation & Harmonization: Utilize the iPaaS's visual mapping engine to transform data structures and values. This includes mapping Epicor Eclipse's Customer to S/4HANA's Business Partner, handling unit of measure conversions, and applying business-specific logic.

Data Validation: Implement pre-posting validation rules within the iPaaS to ensure data conforms to the target system's requirements (e.g., checking for mandatory fields, valid GL accounts). AI can assist in anomaly detection.

Data Loading: Post transformed and validated data to the target system via its respective APIs (e.g., Epicor Eclipse `/api/v1/orders` or S/4HANA `/sap/opu/odata/sap/APISALESORDER_SRV`).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement robust error handling, retry mechanisms with exponential backoff, and dead-letter queues. Monitor integration flows in real-time with centralized dashboards and alerts.

Status Updates & Reconciliation: Update source systems with success/failure statuses and IDs from the target system for end-to-end process visibility and reconciliation.

Data Touchpoints

Epicor Eclipse: Customer, Vendor, Item/Product, Sales Order, Purchase Order, Invoice (Sales/Vendor), Payment, Shipment, Inventory Transaction, General Ledger Entry.
SAP S/4HANA: Business Partner (Customer/Vendor), Material (Product), Sales Order, Purchase Order, Invoice (Customer/Supplier), Payment, General Ledger Entry, Inventory (Stock), Condition Record.

"A typical flow involves an event trigger in the source system (e.g., new Sales Order in Epicor Eclipse). The iPaaS captures this event, extracts the data, transforms it to match the target SAP S/4HANA schema (e.g., Business Partner, Material, Sales Order), validates the data, and then posts it via SAP S/4HANA's OData APIs. Response messages are processed for status updates and error handling. The reverse flow applies for updates originating in S/4HANA or for two-way synchronization of master data."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Field-Level Mapping between Epicor Eclipse and SAP S/4HANA

Understanding how core business entities map and transform between Epicor Eclipse and SAP S/4HANA is crucial for successful integration. Our iPaaS provides visual tools and AI assistance to manage these complex mappings.

Customer / Business Partner

The central entity for managing customer relationships and sales processes. Epicor Eclipse uses 'Customer', while SAP S/4HANA uses 'Business Partner' with specific roles.

Epicor Eclipse Fields

CustomerID (Key) CustomerName Address (Billing, Shipping) ContactInfo CreditLimit TermsCode

SAP S/4HANA Fields

BusinessPartner (Key) OrganizationName (BPNAMEORG1) StreetName, CityName, PostalCode, Country (for addresses) EmailAddress, PhoneNumber BusinessPartnerCategory (e.g., Organization) CustomerRole (FLCU00 for Customer) PaymentTerms (TermsOfPaymentKey)

Mapping Notes

Requires careful mapping of Epicor Eclipse's CustomerID to S/4HANA's BusinessPartner ID. Address types (billing/shipping) need to be mapped to S/4HANA's address usages. Epicor's CreditLimit and TermsCode often drive S/4HANA's credit management and payment terms. Deduplication is critical.
