Sage 100 & Sage 50: Technical Integration Details

Our iPaaS solution provides a robust framework for connecting Sage 100 and Sage 50, abstracting their native integration complexities to deliver seamless, automated data flow. The architecture is designed for high performance, security, and extensibility.

Data Flow Steps

Secure Connectivity: Establish secure, encrypted connections to Sage 100 (via BOI/ODBC using a dedicated iPaaS agent) and Sage 50 (via SDK/ODBC or Sage 50cloud API).

Event & Trigger Configuration: Configure the iPaaS to listen for specific events (e.g., new customer, updated GL entry) or schedule polling for changes in either Sage system.

Data Extraction: The iPaaS extracts relevant data from the source Sage system, utilizing optimized queries or API calls.

Data Transformation & Mapping: Data is processed through the iPaaS's visual mapping engine, where it's normalized, validated, and transformed to match the target Sage system's schema. AI-assisted mapping significantly accelerates this step.

Business Logic & Validation: Custom business rules (e.g., credit limit checks, GL account derivations) and data validation are applied to ensure data integrity.

Data Loading: The transformed and validated data is then securely written to the target Sage system using its respective integration methods (BOI for Sage 100, SDK/API for Sage 50).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Any failures during extraction, transformation, or loading are captured, logged, and routed to a dead-letter queue, triggering alerts for proactive resolution. Automated retries are implemented for transient errors.

Confirmation & Audit Trail: Successful transactions are logged, and audit trails are maintained for compliance and traceability.

Data Touchpoints

Sage 100: ARCustomer, SOSalesOrderHeader, SOSalesOrderDetail, CIItem, IMItemWarehouse, APVendor, POPurchaseOrderHeader, APInvoiceHeader, GLAccount, GLJournalHeader/Detail
Sage 50: Customer, Vendor, Item/Product, Sales Order, Purchase Order, Sales Invoice, Purchase Invoice, Payment/Receipt, General Ledger Account, Journal Entry

"A central iPaaS acts as the integration hub. Data flows from Sage 100 (via BOI/ODBC) to iPaaS, and from Sage 50 (via SDK/ODBC/Cloud API) to iPaaS. The iPaaS orchestrates bidirectional data synchronization for master data (Customers, Vendors, Items) and one-way flows for financial consolidation (GL from Sage 50 to Sage 100) or inter-company transactions (Sales Orders from Sage 50 to Sage 100). The iPaaS includes visual mapping, AI transformation, error handling, and monitoring layers."
