**3. Map Data:** Precisely map entities and fields between Infor CloudSuite and BNG schemas, leveraging AI for mapping suggestions.

**4. Implement Business Logic:** Add transformation rules, conditional logic, and data validation steps within the iPaaS.

**5. Configure Triggers:** Set up event-driven triggers (webhooks, Infor ION) for real-time updates or schedule batch synchronizations.

**6. Test & Deploy:** Thoroughly test workflows in sandbox environments, then promote to production with version control.

**7. Monitor & Optimize:** Continuously monitor integration performance, proactively handle errors, and refine flows.

Data Touchpoints

Infor CloudSuite: Sales Order, Customer, Product/Item Master, Invoice, Payment, Purchase Order, Vendor, General Ledger Entry, Employee, Shipment, Inventory Item.
BNG: Customer, Product, Sales Order, Invoice, Payment, Inventory Item, Vendor, Purchase Order, General Ledger Entry, Employee.

"Data flow typically originates from a source system (e.g., eCommerce, CRM) triggering an event. The iPaaS captures this event, transforms the data for BNG, and creates/updates records in BNG. Subsequently, BNG events or iPaaS logic trigger further transformations and data synchronization into Infor CloudSuite. Updates in Infor CloudSuite or BNG can then flow back to other systems as required, ensuring bi-directional consistency. Example: eCommerce Order -> iPaaS -> BNG Sales Order -> iPaaS -> Infor CloudSuite Sales Order -> Infor CloudSuite Invoice -> iPaaS -> BNG Invoice Update."

SalesOrderNumber CustomerNumber OrderDate OrderTotal OrderStatus LineItems (SKU, Quantity, Price) ShippingAddress BillingAddress

BNG Fields

SalesOrderID ExternalOrderRef CustomerID OrderDate OrderStatus TotalAmount ShippingMethod BillingAddress ShippingAddress LineItems (Product, Quantity, Price)

Mapping Notes

BNG's `ExternalOrderRef` often maps to an eCommerce/CRM order ID, which can be stored in Infor CloudSuite as a custom field or reference. Ensure consistent `OrderStatus` values are mapped (e.g., 'Pending' to 'New', 'Shipped' to 'Delivered'). Line item details require careful mapping of product SKUs and pricing components.

Explore how the integration behaves in real business scenarios, with clearly defined steps, outcomes, and execution patterns.

Automated Order-to-Cash Cycle (eCommerce/CRM to BNG to Infor CloudSuite)

Streamlines the entire sales order lifecycle, from creation in an external platform (e.g., eCommerce, CRM) through BNG, into Infor CloudSuite for financial processing, fulfillment, invoicing, and cash application.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer places order on eCommerce/CRM.
  2. 1 Order event triggers iPaaS to create Sales Order in BNG via `/api/v1/orders`.
  3. 2 BNG processes order, allocates inventory (updating BNG `/api/v1/inventory`).
  4. 3 iPaaS creates Sales Order in Infor CloudSuite (e.g., Infor M3/LN) via `/infor/m3/api/v1/salesorders`.
  5. 4 Infor CloudSuite initiates fulfillment, generates Invoice (Infor FMS/M3/LN).
  6. 5 Invoice data is synchronized back to BNG for customer visibility and payment tracking (BNG `/api/v1/invoices`).
  7. 6 Payment received in BNG (e.g., from payment gateway) updates BNG `/api/v1/payments` and is posted to Infor CloudSuite Financials (Infor FMS `journalentries`).

Business Outcome

Accelerated cash flow, reduced order processing time, improved inventory accuracy, enhanced customer satisfaction, minimized manual errors.
