Unify Epicor & Odoo ERP: Drive Operational Excellence & Financial Clarity

Seamlessly integrate your Epicor manufacturing and distribution workflows with Odoo's comprehensive accounting and business management suite for real-time data sync, automation, and a single source of truth.

The Challenge

The Challenge of Disconnected Epicor & Odoo Systems

Running Epicor and Odoo ERP in silos creates a fragmented operational landscape, leading to inefficiencies, data discrepancies, and delayed decision-making. Businesses struggle to maintain accurate information across manufacturing, sales, inventory, and finance without a robust integration strategy.

  • Manual data entry between Epicor (e.g., Sales Orders, Parts) and Odoo (e.g., Sales Orders, Invoices) is time-consuming and prone to human error.
  • Lack of real-time inventory synchronization between Epicor (Part OnHandQty) and Odoo (product.product) leads to overselling or stockouts.
  • Inconsistent customer and vendor data (Epicor Customer/Supplier vs. Odoo res.partner) results in a fractured 360-degree view and poor communication.
  • Delayed financial reconciliation due to manual transfer of invoices, payments, and journal entries between Epicor AR/AP and Odoo Accounting.
  • Limited visibility into end-to-end business processes, from production orders in Epicor to financial impact in Odoo.
  • Reliance on custom scripts or manual CSV imports that are brittle, hard to maintain, and lack scalability.

Technical Integration: Epicor & Odoo Data Flow Architecture

Our iPaaS platform orchestrates a secure, scalable, and resilient integration between Epicor and Odoo ERP. Leveraging native APIs, webhooks, and advanced transformation capabilities, we ensure seamless data exchange and process automation across your enterprise landscape.

Data Flow Steps

Connection Setup: Securely establish connectivity to Epicor (OAuth 2.0/API Keys) and Odoo (API Keys/Session) via dedicated connectors.

Event & Trigger Configuration: Define triggers for data synchronization. For Epicor, utilize Business Process Management (BPM) events or scheduled polling for specific data changes. For Odoo, leverage webhooks for real-time notifications.

Data Mapping & Transformation: Visually map source and target fields between Epicor and Odoo entities. Apply complex transformation logic, data enrichment, and validation rules using low-code tools.

Workflow Orchestration: Design multi-step workflows to automate business processes, ensuring correct sequencing and conditional logic based on business requirements.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement robust error handling (retries, dead-letter queues, alerts) and continuous monitoring to ensure data integrity and operational continuity.

Deployment & Governance: Deploy integrations through structured Dev/QA/Prod pipelines with version control and comprehensive auditing.

Data Touchpoints

Epicor Customer <-> Odoo res.partner (Customer/Vendor)
Epicor SalesOrder <-> Odoo sale.order
Epicor Part (Product) <-> Odoo product.product (Inventory sync)
Epicor Invoice (AR) <-> Odoo account.move (Customer Invoice)
Epicor APInvoice <-> Odoo account.move (Vendor Bill)
Epicor CashReceipt <-> Odoo account.payment
Epicor JobHead (Production Order) <-> Odoo (custom fields/related models for production status)

"The integration architecture centers around a cloud-native iPaaS acting as the central hub. Epicor and Odoo ERP systems connect to the iPaaS via their respective RESTful (Epicor Kinetic) or XML-RPC/JSON-RPC (Odoo) APIs. Business events originating in either system (e.g., new Sales Order in Epicor, confirmed invoice in Odoo) trigger iPaaS workflows. The iPaaS then retrieves, transforms, and pushes data to the target system, ensuring bidirectional synchronization and process orchestration. AI services are integrated for intelligent mapping, validation, and anomaly detection."

  • Value Conversion: Map `Epicor.Part.UOM` ('EA') to `Odoo.uom.uom.name` ('Units').
  • Aggregation/Splitting: Combine multiple Epicor `OrderDtl` lines into a single Odoo `order_line` if applicable, or split complex line items.
  • Date Formatting: Convert `YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS` to `YYYY-MM-DD` as required by target system.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Epicor API returns a 500 error (internal server error) – handled by retry with backoff.
  • Odoo API returns a data validation error (e.g., 'product_id not found') – flagged for manual review, potentially AI-suggested fix.
  • Network interruption between iPaaS and either ERP – handled by retry and circuit breaker.
  • Duplicate record detected during creation (e.g., customer already exists in Odoo) – flow configured to update existing or skip.
  • Schema mismatch after an Epicor/Odoo upgrade – flagged by monitoring, requiring mapping adjustment.
