Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Order Mapping: Amazon `shippingAddress` parsed into P21 address fields. `purchaseDate` converted to P21 date format. `amazonOrderId` stored as external reference.
  • Inventory Adjustment: P21 `QuantityAvailable` adjusted by configurable buffer before sending to Amazon `quantity`.
  • Carrier Code Standardization: P21 carrier names mapped to Amazon's specific `carrierCode` values (e.g., 'FedEx Ground' -> 'FedEx').
  • Financial Categorization: Amazon `transactionType`, `amountType`, `amountDescription`, `feeType` mapped to specific Prophet 21 `GLAccountID`s using rule-based logic.
  • Product Attribute Enrichment: P21 product descriptions or attributes formatted to Amazon's listing requirements, potentially enriching with external PIM data.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Amazon SP-API rate limit exceeded: iPaaS implements exponential backoff and retries.
  • Prophet 21 API unavailability: Messages queued and reprocessed once P21 is online.
  • Invalid SKU in Amazon order: Order line item flagged, order potentially created with missing item, or entire order held for review.
  • Authentication token expiry: iPaaS automatically refreshes tokens.
  • Data validation failure: Specific fields flagged, transaction moved to dead-letter queue for manual correction.
