Odoo ERP & BNG Technical Integration: Architecture & Data Flow

Our integration solution leverages a modern iPaaS to create a robust, secure, and scalable bridge between Odoo ERP and BNG. It orchestrates complex workflows, ensuring data consistency and real-time operational efficiency through a combination of API interactions, event-driven triggers, and intelligent data transformations.

Data Flow Steps

**Connection & Authentication:** Securely establish connections to Odoo (XML-RPC/JSON-RPC/REST-like APIs) and BNG (REST APIs/OAuth 2.0) using dedicated service accounts and encrypted credentials.

**Event Detection & Triggering:** Configure the iPaaS to monitor Odoo and BNG for relevant events (e.g., new `sale.order` in Odoo, `Customer` update in BNG) using webhooks, change data capture (CDC), or optimized polling.

**Data Extraction:** Extract relevant data from the source system's entities (e.g., Odoo's `res.partner` fields: `name`, `email`, `street`; BNG's `Customer` fields: `CompanyName`, `Email`, `BillingAddress`).

**Data Harmonization & Transformation:** Apply AI-assisted mapping and low-code transformation rules to convert source data into the target system's canonical format. This includes data type conversion, value lookups, and calculated fields.

**Data Validation:** Implement pre-posting validation rules to ensure data integrity and adherence to target system requirements (e.g., mandatory fields, unique identifiers) before sending to Odoo or BNG.

**Data Loading:** Use the target system's appropriate API endpoints (e.g., Odoo `/jsonrpc` with `create`/`write`, BNG `/api/v1/customers` POST/PUT) to create or update records. Batch operations are utilized for high-volume scenarios.

**Error Handling & Monitoring:** Implement robust error handling with retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerts. Monitor integration health, performance, and data quality from a centralized dashboard.

**Audit & Reconciliation:** Maintain comprehensive logs of all transactions for auditability and facilitate reconciliation processes, especially for financial data.

Data Touchpoints

Odoo: `res.partner`, `product.template`, `product.product`, `sale.order`, `sale.order.line`, `account.move`, `account.move.line`, `account.payment`, `stock.quant`, `stock.picking`, `purchase.order`, `hr.employee`, `crm.lead`

Integration Use Cases

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

eCommerce Order to Odoo Sales Order & BNG Fulfillment

When a new sales order is placed on an eCommerce platform (e.g., Shopify), it's automatically created in BNG, then synchronized to Odoo as a `sale.order` to manage accounting and inventory. BNG then handles the fulfillment process, with status updates syncing back to Odoo.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer places order on eCommerce platform.
  2. 1 Order captured and created in BNG (Sales Order entity).
  3. 2 iPaaS detects new BNG Sales Order via webhook.
  4. 3 BNG Sales Order data transformed to Odoo `sale.order` schema.
  5. 4 Odoo `sale.order` created, reserving `stock.quant` inventory.
  6. 5 Inventory levels updated in Odoo and pushed to BNG and eCommerce.
  7. 6 BNG initiates fulfillment based on its `Sales Order` and `Inventory Item`.
  8. 7 Fulfillment status updates from BNG sync to Odoo `stock.picking` and `sale.order` status.

Business Outcome

Real-time order processing, accurate inventory across channels, faster shipping, and reduced manual order entry for both Odoo and BNG.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
POST /xmlrpc/2/object Generic endpoint for calling any Odoo model's methods (e.g., 'create', 'write', 'search_read') via XML-RPC. Used for foundational data manipulation and queries.
POST /jsonrpc Generic endpoint for calling any Odoo model's methods (e.g., 'create', 'write', 'search_read') via JSON-RPC. Often preferred for modern integrations due to JSON's ubiquity.
GET, POST, PUT /api/v1/products Example of a REST-like endpoint for product management in newer Odoo versions or with specific modules. Allows for fetching, creating, or updating 'product.template' and 'product.product' records.
GET, POST /api/v1/sales_orders Example of a REST-like endpoint for sales order management. Used for retrieving existing sales orders or creating new ones ('sale.order').
GET, POST, PUT /api/v1/customers Example of a REST-like endpoint for customer management. Enables fetching, creating, or updating 'res.partner' records.

Transformation Logic

  • **Data Type Conversion:** Convert string to integer, date formats, boolean values.
  • **Value Mapping/Lookup:** Map Odoo `categ_id` (numeric ID) to BNG `Category` (string name) using a lookup table.
  • **Field Concatenation/Splitting:** Combine `FirstName` and `LastName` from BNG into Odoo `name`, or split full address strings.
  • **Conditional Logic:** Apply different transformations based on data values (e.g., if Odoo `is_company` is true, map `name` to BNG `CompanyName`).
  • **Default Values:** Assign default values for missing non-mandatory fields.
  • **Currency Conversion:** Automatically convert `amount_total` or `list_price` based on defined exchange rates.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • **Odoo `ValidationError`:** Data sent to Odoo fails internal Odoo validation rules (e.g., missing mandatory field, incorrect data type).
  • **BNG `400 Bad Request`:** BNG API rejects data due to incorrect format or business rule violation.
  • **API Rate Limit Exceeded:** Too many requests sent to Odoo or BNG within a given timeframe.
  • **Network Connectivity Issues:** Temporary communication failures between iPaaS and either system.
  • **Data Mismatch:** Field values in the source system cannot be accurately mapped or transformed for the target system.
  • **Duplicate Record Creation:** Attempt to create a record that already exists, if `external_id` or deduplication logic fails.
