Technical Integration Details: Connecting Kashflow and Epicor

Our integration solution leverages the robust API capabilities of both Kashflow and Epicor, orchestrated by a sophisticated iPaaS. This ensures secure, scalable, and real-time data exchange, tailored to your specific business processes.

Data Flow Steps

API Connection & Authentication: Establish secure connections using OAuth 2.0 (Kashflow) and OAuth 2.0 / Token-based (Epicor) via the iPaaS. Dedicated service accounts with least privilege are provisioned.

Event Listener/Polling Configuration: Configure event triggers (e.g., Epicor BPMs, webhooks from Kashflow if available, or optimized polling for specific endpoints) to detect data changes in source systems.

Data Extraction: The iPaaS extracts relevant data from the source system's API endpoints (e.g., Epicor SalesOrder data, Kashflow Customer details).

Data Mapping & Transformation: Raw data is mapped to a canonical format and then transformed to match the target system's schema and business rules. AI-assisted mapping accelerates this process.

Data Validation: Before sending, data is validated against target system requirements (e.g., mandatory fields, data types) to prevent errors.

Data Ingestion: The transformed and validated data is then sent to the target system's API endpoints (e.g., Kashflow /v2/invoices, Epicor /api/v2/odata/.../Customers).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Any failures are logged, retried with exponential backoff, and alerts are sent. Dead-letter queues store unresolvable issues for manual review.

Status Updates: Where applicable, status updates (e.g., 'Invoice Paid' in Kashflow) can be pushed back to Epicor for end-to-end visibility.

Data Touchpoints

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Field-Level Mapping between Kashflow and Epicor

Understanding how core business entities map between Epicor's detailed operational structure and Kashflow's financial ledger is crucial. Our iPaaS provides a visual canvas to define these mappings, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

Customer

Synchronizing customer details ensures consistent billing, shipping, and contact information across both systems.

Kashflow Fields

CustomerID Name ContactName Email Address1 Postcode Telephone AccountReference

Epicor Fields

CustNum CustID Name Address1 City State Zip Country ContactName PhoneNum EmailAddress

Mapping Notes

Map Epicor's `CustID` to Kashflow's `AccountReference` for cross-system lookup. Harmonize address components. Consider creating a custom field in one system to store the other system's ID for true bi-directional linking. Deduplication logic is vital based on email or `CustID`/`AccountReference`.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General FAQs

What is the primary benefit of integrating Kashflow with Epicor?
The primary benefit is achieving a single source of truth for your operational and financial data. This eliminates manual data entry, reduces errors, accelerates financial reporting, and provides real-time visibility into your business performance, from sales orders in Epicor to reconciled accounts in Kashflow.

Data Sync FAQs

How does the integration handle customer and supplier data synchronization?
The integration supports bi-directional synchronization for Customer and Supplier master data. When a new record is created or updated in either Epicor or Kashflow, the iPaaS detects the change, applies deduplication logic, and updates the corresponding record in the other system, ensuring consistency.

Workflows FAQs

Can I automate sales order processing from Epicor to Kashflow?
Absolutely. A core use case is automating the creation of Sales Invoices in Kashflow directly from Epicor Sales Orders. The iPaaS extracts order details, maps them to Kashflow's invoice structure, and creates the invoice, drastically reducing manual effort and speeding up your billing cycle.
Can the integration help with bank reconciliation in Kashflow?
Yes. By automating the posting of Epicor Cash Receipts as Payments in Kashflow, the integration pre-matches many bank transactions. This significantly streamlines the bank reconciliation process in Kashflow, making it faster and more accurate, especially when combined with Kashflow's automated bank feeds.

Technology FAQs

What role does AI play in the Kashflow-Epicor integration?
AI significantly enhances the integration by providing intelligent field mapping suggestions, detecting anomalies in transaction data, and even suggesting or auto-applying fixes for common data validation errors. This improves data quality, reduces manual intervention, and accelerates integration development.

Technical FAQs

How does the iPaaS manage API rate limits for Kashflow and Epicor?
Our iPaaS is designed with intelligent rate limit management. It employs strategies like request queuing, exponential backoff for retries, and batching multiple operations into single API calls (where supported) to prevent hitting API limits and ensure continuous, stable data flow.

Customization FAQs

Is it possible to customize the integration workflows?
Yes, the integration is highly customizable. Using the low-code/no-code visual designer, you can easily add custom fields, implement conditional logic, define specific business rules, and extend workflows to include other systems, all without writing complex code.

Security FAQs

How is data security ensured during the integration?
Data security is paramount. The integration uses OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication, enforces HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data in transit, and encrypts sensitive data at rest within the iPaaS. We adhere to industry security standards like ISO 27001 and SOC 2, and employ least-privilege access controls.
