The Challenge

The Disconnect: When Manufacturing Operations & Financials Operate in Silos

Managing a modern enterprise with Epicor for operations and Sage X3 for financials often means grappling with data silos, manual processes, and delayed insights. This disconnect stifles efficiency, introduces errors, and hinders agile decision-making.

  • Manual data entry between Epicor and Sage X3 leads to errors and delays.
  • Lack of real-time inventory visibility across sales, production, and accounting.
  • Slow and inaccurate financial reporting due to fragmented operational data.
  • Inefficient order-to-cash and procure-to-pay cycles impacting cash flow.
  • Inconsistent customer and supplier data across systems.
  • Difficulty in tracking true manufacturing costs and profitability.
  • Complex, brittle point-to-point integrations require constant maintenance.

Epicor & Sage X3 Integration: Technical Overview & Data Flow

Our iPaaS solution provides a robust and flexible framework for connecting Epicor and Sage X3. It leverages native APIs, ensuring secure, efficient, and scalable data exchange, with a focus on real-time event-driven architecture where possible.

Data Flow Steps

Connectivity Setup: Secure API connections are established for both Epicor (OAuth 2.0 / Token-based REST APIs) and Sage X3 (OAuth2 / API Keys RESTful web services) within the iPaaS.

Event Listener/Polling: The iPaaS configures listeners for Epicor BPM events (for real-time updates) or scheduled polling for specific data changes. Similarly, Sage X3 can trigger webhooks or be polled.

Data Extraction: Relevant data (e.g., new Sales Orders, updated Inventory levels) is extracted from the source system via API calls.

Data Transformation & Harmonization: Extracted data is mapped, transformed, and validated against predefined business rules within the iPaaS's visual mapping canvas to align with the target system's schema. AI-assisted mapping accelerates this step.

Data Loading: Transformed data is pushed to the target system via its respective APIs (e.g., POST to Sage X3 /api/v1/salesOrders, PATCH to Epicor /api/v2/odata/.../PartSvc/Parts).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Any failures during extraction, transformation, or loading are logged, triggering automated retries, alerts, and routing to dead-letter queues for manual review.

Status Updates & Reconciliation: Integration statuses are monitored, and reconciliation reports ensure data consistency across both Epicor and Sage X3.

Data Touchpoints

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General FAQs

What are the primary benefits of integrating Epicor and Sage X3?
Integrating Epicor and Sage X3 provides real-time visibility across manufacturing operations and financial management, streamlines order-to-cash and procure-to-pay cycles, eliminates manual data entry, improves inventory accuracy, and accelerates the financial close process. It creates a unified view of your business from the shop floor to the general ledger.

Technical FAQs

How does this integration handle Epicor's manufacturing data and Sage X3's financial data?
The integration orchestrates data flow so that Epicor's detailed manufacturing data (e.g., JobHead status, LaborDtl, Part inventory) is accurately translated and posted as General Ledger entries, inventory adjustments, and cost updates in Sage X3. This ensures that operational activities directly impact financial statements and reporting in real-time.
Can this integration support real-time inventory synchronization between Epicor and Sage X3?
Yes, leveraging Epicor's event triggers (via BPM) and Sage X3's API capabilities, the iPaaS can facilitate near real-time synchronization of inventory levels. This is crucial for preventing overselling, optimizing stock levels, and ensuring accurate availability across all sales channels and financial records.
