Infor M3 & BridgePay Integration: Technical Architecture & Data Flow

The integration between Infor M3 and BridgePay is architected on a modern iPaaS, serving as the central orchestration layer. This approach ensures robust, scalable, and secure data exchange, moving beyond point-to-point connections to an event-driven, API-first paradigm.

Data Flow Steps

Event Trigger: A business event occurs (e.g., new sales order in M3 via Infor ION, payment success in BridgePay via webhook).

Data Capture: The iPaaS captures this event and the associated data from the source system.

Transformation & Validation: Data is transformed according to predefined mapping rules to match the target system's schema. AI-driven validation checks for data quality and consistency.

Routing & Orchestration: The iPaaS routes the transformed data to the appropriate API endpoint of the target system, orchestrating multi-step workflows.

API Call: The iPaaS makes a secure API call (e.g., to Infor M3's OIS100MI or BridgePay's /v1/payments).

Response Handling: The iPaaS processes the API response, logs the transaction, and handles any errors (retries, alerts, dead-letter queues).

Status Update/Feedback: The target system updates its records, and the iPaaS can provide feedback or update status in the originating system if configured for two-way sync.

Data Touchpoints

Infor M3: Customer (CRS610), Product (MMS200), Sales Order (OIS100), Purchase Order (PPS100), Invoice (OIS300/PIS100), General Ledger Entry (GLS200), Inventory Balance (MMS080).
BridgePay: Payment, Transaction, Customer, Order, Refund, Settlement Batch, Fraud Event.

"The integration operates as a hub-and-spoke model with the iPaaS at the center. Infor M3 communicates with the iPaaS primarily via Infor ION BODs (Business Object Documents) for events and M3 APIs for specific data operations. BridgePay communicates via its RESTful APIs for processing and webhooks for real-time event notifications. The iPaaS handles all data transformation, routing, error handling, and security between these systems."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping for Infor M3 & BridgePay

A successful integration hinges on accurate and consistent data mapping between Infor M3's complex entities and BridgePay's payment-centric records. Our iPaaS provides visual, AI-assisted mapping tools to streamline this process, ensuring data integrity and business logic adherence.

Sales Order (M3 OIS100) / Order & Payment (BridgePay)

Synchronizes customer sales requests and their associated payment processing status from BridgePay into Infor M3, driving fulfillment and invoicing.

Infor M3 & BridgePay: Fields

ORNO (Order Number) CUNO (Customer Number) ORDT (Order Date) DLDT (Delivery Date) STAT (Status) SAAM (Sales Amount) PYNO (Payment Method) PYTR (Payment Transaction Ref)

Streamline Payments & ERP Fields

orderId customerId totalAmount currency status (Order) paymentId transactionId amount (Payment) currency (Payment) status (Payment) paymentMethodType token

Mapping Notes

The BridgePay `orderId` often maps to a reference field on Infor M3 `Sales Order (OIS100)` or `Your Reference (YREF)`. The BridgePay `transactionId` is critical for linking payments to M3 invoices and for reconciliation. Payment status from BridgePay ('approved', 'declined', 'settled') must be mapped to Infor M3's `Sales Order Status (STAT)` or a custom payment status field.

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Currency Conversion: Automatically convert payment amounts if M3 and BridgePay operate in different currencies, applying predefined exchange rates.
  • Status Mapping: Map BridgePay `Payment` and `Transaction` `status` (e.g., 'authorized', 'captured', 'voided', 'failed') to Infor M3 `Sales Order (OIS100)` or `Invoice (OIS300)` `STAT` codes.
  • Field Concatenation/Splitting: Combine `firstName` and `lastName` from BridgePay to M3 `Customer Name (CUNM)` or split M3 `Address ID (ADID)` into BridgePay's structured address fields.
  • Default Value Assignment: Assign default M3 `Payment Method (PYNO)` or `Warehouse (WHLO)` for orders originating from specific BridgePay `merchantId`.
  • GL Account Derivation: Dynamically determine target Infor M3 `Account Number (ACCO)` and `Dimensions` for `General Ledger Entries (GLS200)` based on BridgePay transaction `type`, `merchantId`, or `fees` category.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • BridgePay API Timeout: Handled by iPaaS retry logic with exponential backoff.
  • Infor M3 Data Validation Failure: iPaaS logs error, alerts, and routes to DLQ for manual correction (e.g., invalid customer ID).
  • Duplicate Transaction: Idempotency ensures duplicate API calls don't create duplicate records.
  • Partial Payment/Refund: Workflow designed to handle partial amounts and update M3 `Invoice` status accordingly.
