The Challenge

The Challenge: Disconnected Operations Between Epicor and SAP ECC

Many enterprises rely on Epicor for specific operational strengths—like manufacturing, distribution, or project management—while leveraging SAP ECC for its robust financial accounting and core ERP functionalities. This dual-ERP strategy, while powerful, often leads to significant integration challenges that hinder efficiency and data accuracy.

  • Manual data entry between systems leads to errors and delays.
  • Lack of real-time visibility across operational (Epicor) and financial (SAP ECC) departments.
  • Inconsistent master data (customer, vendor, product) across both ERPs.
  • Lengthy and complex financial close processes due to disparate data sources.
  • Difficulty in reconciling inventory, sales orders, and invoices across systems.
  • High IT overhead for custom point-to-point integrations that are fragile and hard to maintain.

Technical Integration Details: Connecting Epicor and SAP ECC

Our iPaaS provides a robust, secure, and scalable framework for integrating Epicor and SAP ECC. We leverage the strengths of each system's API capabilities and combine them with intelligent orchestration, data transformation, and error handling to ensure seamless data flow and process automation.

Data Flow Steps

Connection Setup: Configure secure connections to Epicor Kinetic REST APIs (OAuth 2.0) and SAP ECC (via BAPIs/RFCs over secure RFC, or OData services via NetWeaver Gateway with OAuth 2.0).

Event & Trigger Definition: Define business events (e.g., new Sales Order in Epicor, Goods Movement in SAP ECC) that will trigger integration flows. Utilize Epicor's BPMs for outbound events and SAP's change pointers or BAPI calls for inbound/outbound.

Data Model Harmonization: Analyze and map disparate data models for key entities (e.g., Epicor 'Part' to SAP 'Material Master', Epicor 'Customer' to SAP 'Customer Master').

Transformation Logic: Implement low-code/no-code data transformations within the iPaaS to convert data formats, apply business rules, and enrich data as it moves between systems.

Workflow Orchestration: Design multi-step workflows to sequence data transfers, handle conditional logic, and manage error paths.

Deployment & Monitoring: Deploy integrations across Dev, QA, and Production environments with version control and monitor their performance and health via a centralized dashboard.

Data Mapping

Key Entities and Intelligent Mapping for Epicor and SAP ECC

Seamless integration relies on accurate mapping and transformation of core business entities between Epicor and SAP ECC. Our iPaaS provides robust capabilities, augmented by AI, to ensure data integrity and consistency for the most critical entities.

Customer / Customer Master

Synchronizes customer records including billing, shipping, and contact information. Critical for sales, AR, and CRM integrations.

Epicor Fields

CustNum CustID Name Address1 City State Zip Country ContactName PhoneNum EmailAddress

SAP ECC Fields

KUNNR (Customer No.) NAME1 (Name) ORT01 (City) LAND1 (Country) STRAS (Street) STCD1 (Tax No.) KTOKD (Account Group)

Mapping Notes

Epicor's `CustID` often maps to SAP's `KUNNR`. Address fields require careful harmonization. Consider 'Parent/Child' relationships in Epicor and corresponding account group structures in SAP. AI assists in suggesting field matches and identifying potential duplicates during sync.

Order Fulfillment & Financial Posting

A new sales order in Epicor (e.g., from an integrated eCommerce platform) is automatically created in SAP ECC for financial tracking, credit checks, and revenue recognition. Updates to order status or shipments in Epicor trigger corresponding updates in SAP ECC.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer places order on eCommerce site, creating Sales Order in Epicor.
  2. 1 iPaaS maps Epicor SalesOrder (OrderNum, CustNum, PartNum) to SAP ECC Sales Order (VBELN, KUNNR, MATNR).
  3. 2 Data transformation ensures pricing, UOM, and partner functions are correctly translated.
  4. 3 SAP ECC performs credit check and updates order status.
  5. 4 Epicor fulfills order and ships; shipment confirmation updates Epicor SalesOrder status.
  6. 5 iPaaS triggers a delivery document creation in SAP ECC and eventually an AR Invoice in both systems.

Business Outcome

Accelerated order processing, reduced manual data entry, real-time visibility into order status and financial impact.
