Robust & Scalable Infor-SAP ECC Integration Architecture

Our recommended architecture places a modern iPaaS at the core, acting as an agile, resilient, and intelligent hub connecting Infor and SAP ECC. This design ensures optimal performance, security, and scalability for your critical business processes.

Data Flow Steps

API-First Integration: Exposing SAP ECC functionalities as standardized RESTful APIs via the iPaaS.

Event-Driven Architecture: Leveraging Infor webhooks and SAP ECC change pointers for real-time data synchronization.

Asynchronous Messaging: Using queues for high-volume or non-real-time data transfers to prevent system overload.

Canonical Data Model: Establishing a common data format within the iPaaS to simplify transformations.

Circuit Breaker Pattern: Protecting SAP ECC from cascading failures during transient issues.

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
POST, GET, PUT /infor/api/v1/customers Create, retrieve, or update customer master data for CRM or eCommerce synchronization.
POST, GET, PUT /infor/api/v1/salesorders Create sales orders from eCommerce, retrieve order status, or update order details for fulfillment.
GET, PUT /infor/api/v1/products Retrieve product catalog information, update pricing, or synchronize product attributes for PIM or eCommerce.
GET, PUT /infor/api/v1/inventory/{item_id} Query real-time inventory levels for specific items or update stock quantities from WMS.
POST, GET /infor/api/v1/invoices Create invoices from completed orders or retrieve invoice details for payment processing and reconciliation.
POST /infor/api/v1/gl/journalentries Post financial journal entries from subsidiary systems for consolidation and reporting.

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Data type conversion (e.g., date formats, currency codes).
  • Field concatenation or splitting (e.g., combining first and last names).
  • Lookup transformations (e.g., mapping Infor product categories to SAP ECC material groups).
  • Conditional logic for routing or defaulting values (e.g., assigning different sales organizations based on customer region).
  • Unit of Measure (UOM) conversion between systems.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Infor API rate limit exceeded by SAP ECC requests.
  • SAP ECC BAPI locking issues during high concurrent updates.
  • Data validation failures (e.g., invalid customer ID, missing mandatory fields).
  • Network connectivity issues between iPaaS and either ERP.
  • Semantic errors (e.g., incorrect GL account derivation, product not found).

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General Benefits FAQs

▸ What are the primary benefits of integrating Infor with SAP ECC?
Integrating Infor and SAP ECC delivers real-time data synchronization, automated end-to-end workflows (like O2C and P2P), improved data accuracy across financial and operational systems, accelerated financial closes, and a unified view of your enterprise. This reduces manual effort, minimizes errors, and enhances decision-making capabilities.

Technical FAQs

▸ How does an iPaaS facilitate Infor and SAP ECC integration, especially with SAP's legacy interfaces?
A modern iPaaS acts as the central hub, providing specialized connectors for Infor's APIs (REST, event-driven) and SAP ECC's diverse interfaces (BAPIs, RFCs, IDocs, OData via NetWeaver Gateway). It handles data transformation, orchestrates complex workflows, and abstracts the technical complexities, allowing for seamless communication without custom coding.
▸ Is an event-driven approach supported for Infor and SAP ECC integration?
Yes. We advocate for an event-driven architecture. The iPaaS can subscribe to Infor's webhooks or monitor SAP ECC's change pointers/BAPI events to trigger real-time data synchronization. This ensures immediate propagation of data changes (e.g., new sales orders, inventory updates) across both systems, leading to more responsive operations and reduced data latency.

Low-Code/No-Code FAQs

▸ Can I use low-code/no-code tools to build workflows between Infor and SAP ECC?
Absolutely. Our iPaaS offers intuitive low-code/no-code visual designers. Business analysts and citizen integrators can leverage drag-and-drop interfaces, pre-built connectors, and visual mapping tools to design, build, and deploy complex Infor-SAP ECC workflows (e.g., sales order processing, invoice automation) with minimal to no coding, accelerating development cycles.

AI Capabilities FAQs

▸ What role does AI play in enhancing Infor and SAP ECC integration?
AI significantly augments integration by providing intelligent capabilities such as automated data mapping suggestions, real-time anomaly detection in financial transactions, predictive identification of integration failures, and intelligent exception handling. This reduces manual intervention, improves data quality, and makes your Infor-SAP ECC workflows more resilient and proactive.

Security & Compliance FAQs

▸ How do you ensure data security when integrating sensitive Infor and SAP ECC data?
Data security is paramount. We implement robust authentication (OAuth 2.0, X.509 certificates), enforce TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data in transit, utilize strict role-based access controls (RBAC) and least privilege principles for service accounts, and apply data masking/redaction for sensitive information in logs. Our iPaaS adheres to industry security standards (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2).

Challenges & Solutions FAQs

▸ What are the common challenges when integrating Infor and SAP ECC, and how are they addressed?
Common challenges include the complexity of SAP ECC's data models, managing different interface types (BAPIs, IDocs, APIs), maintaining real-time data consistency, and handling high data volumes. Our iPaaS addresses these by providing specialized connectors, advanced data mapping and transformation, event-driven architecture, intelligent queuing/throttling, and centralized error handling with AI assistance.

Business Impact FAQs

▸ How does this integration impact financial close processes?
Automated Infor-SAP ECC integrations, especially for financial data from various modules or subsidiaries, significantly streamline the financial close. By ensuring real-time, accurate posting of transactions (e.g., journal entries, invoices) to SAP ECC's General Ledger, it reduces manual reconciliation, accelerates reporting, and improves compliance, leading to faster and more reliable financial statements.
