Technical Integration Overview: Epicor Kinetic & 3dcart

The integration between Epicor Kinetic and 3dcart is orchestrated through a modern iPaaS, leveraging API-first and event-driven principles. This ensures secure, scalable, and real-time data exchange, transforming complex data mapping and workflow automation into a manageable, transparent process.

Data Flow Steps

**System Connection:** Establish secure, authenticated connections to Epicor Kinetic's RESTful API and 3dcart's API using the iPaaS's pre-built connectors.

**Event Triggering:** Configure 3dcart webhooks (for new orders, customer updates, inventory changes) to push real-time data to the iPaaS. For Epicor Kinetic, utilize data directives, change logs, or scheduled API polling to detect changes.

**Data Ingestion & Transformation:** The iPaaS receives raw data, applies pre-defined transformation rules, and normalizes it into a canonical format. AI assists in suggesting optimal mapping.

**Business Logic & Orchestration:** Workflows are designed visually within the iPaaS, defining the sequence of operations, conditional logic, and routing rules (e.g., 'If 3dcart order status is 'Paid', then create Sales Order in Kinetic').

**Data Mapping & Validation:** Data fields are mapped between 3dcart and Epicor Kinetic schemas using a visual mapping canvas. AI-driven validation ensures data integrity before propagation.

**API Interaction:** The iPaaS makes API calls to the target system (Epicor Kinetic or 3dcart) to create, update, or retrieve records based on the workflow logic.

**Error Handling & Monitoring:** Built-in mechanisms for error detection, automated retries with exponential backoff, dead-letter queues, and centralized logging provide robust resilience. Real-time dashboards offer operational oversight.

**Notification & Alerts:** Configurable alerts notify relevant teams of critical integration failures or data anomalies.

**Deployment & Governance:** Workflows are promoted through Dev/QA/Prod environments with version control and audit trails, ensuring controlled deployment and compliance.

Data Touchpoints

3dcart: Orders (creation, status updates), Products (pricing, inventory, attributes), Customers (new, updates), Payments, Shipments.
Epicor Kinetic: Sales Orders (creation, status, fulfillment), Parts (master data, inventory levels), Customers (creation, updates), General Ledger (payment posting), Accounts Receivable.

Epicor Kinetic Fields

SalesOrder.OrderNum (Kinetic Order Number) SalesOrder.CustNum (Kinetic Customer ID) SalesOrder.OrderDate (Order Placement Date) SalesOrder.RequestDate (Requested Ship Date) SalesOrder.ShipToNum (Shipping Address ID) SalesOrder.SoldToCustNum (Billing Customer ID) SalesOrder.PmtMethod (Payment Method) SalesOrder.OrderAmt (Total Order Amount) SalesOrderDtl.PartNum (Product SKU) SalesOrderDtl.OrderQty (Ordered Quantity) SalesOrderDtl.UnitPrice (Product Price) SalesOrderDtl.LineDesc (Product Description) SalesOrder.TaxAmt (Total Tax Amount) SalesOrder.FreightAmt (Shipping Cost) SalesOrder.OrderStatus (Order Status)

3dcart Fields

order_id customer_id order_status total shipping_address (street, city, state, zip, country) billing_address (street, city, state, zip, country) payment_status payment_method shipping_cost tax_total items (product_id, SKU, name, price, quantity) date_created date_updated

Mapping Notes

Requires mapping of 3dcart's 'items' array to Epicor Kinetic's SalesOrderDtl lines. Tax and shipping amounts need to be mapped to their respective Kinetic fields. Payment status from 3dcart should inform Kinetic's payment terms or cash receipt creation. Custom fields in 3dcart might map to Kinetic's UD fields.
