Data Mapping

Data Entity Mapping

Explore how data flows between systems with intelligent field mapping and transformation logic.

Customer

Represents a business or individual purchasing goods/services. Critical for sales, invoicing, and CRM synchronization in Sage 200, and for order processing in Channel Advisor.

Sage 200 Fields

CustomerID CustomerAccountRef CustomerName AddressLine1 City PostCode ContactName EmailAddress PhoneNumber CreditLimit PaymentTerms

Channel Advisor Fields

CustomerID (marketplace/internal) FirstName LastName EmailAddress PhoneNumber ShippingAddress BillingAddress

Mapping Notes

Channel Advisor's customer data is often limited to order-specific details. The integration typically creates or updates Sage 200 `Customer` records from Channel Advisor `Order` data. Deduplication logic (e.g., by email address or name/address combination) is crucial to avoid duplicate customer entries in Sage 200.

E-commerce Order-to-Cash Automation

Automate the entire sales order lifecycle from Channel Advisor into Sage 200, including customer creation, sales order entry, stock allocation, invoice generation, and payment synchronization.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 New Order Captured in Channel Advisor (via Marketplace)
  2. 1 iPaaS triggers on Channel Advisor `Order` event (webhook)
  3. 2 iPaaS maps Channel Advisor `Order` and `OrderItem` data to Sage 200 `Sales Order`
  4. 3 iPaaS checks for existing Sage 200 `Customer` or creates new one
  5. 4 Sage 200 `Sales Order` is created, allocating `Stock Item`
  6. 5 Fulfillment updates (shipment tracking) from WMS/ERP are sent to Sage 200
  7. 6 Sage 200 generates `Invoice` upon dispatch
  8. 7 iPaaS retrieves `Invoice` details and `Payment` status from Sage 200
  9. 8 iPaaS updates Channel Advisor `Order` status and sends shipment/payment confirmations to marketplace/customer.

Business Outcome

Accelerated order processing, reduced manual errors, real-time financial reconciliation, improved customer satisfaction with timely updates.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Data Type Conversion: Automatically convert data types (e.g., string to numeric, date formats) between systems.
  • Field Mapping: Direct field-to-field mapping, concatenation (e.g., first name + last name), or splitting.
  • Conditional Logic: Apply rules based on data values (e.g., if product category is 'X', then apply 'Y' tax code).
  • Lookup Tables: Translate values using internal or external lookup tables (e.g., 'USSHIPPING' in CA maps to 'STDDOMESTIC' in Sage 200).
  • Default Values: Assign default values for fields not present in the source system but required by the destination.
  • Calculations: Perform calculations (e.g., calculate total order value, apply discounts).
  • AI-Assisted Transformations: AI suggests complex transformations, such as attribute normalization or smart routing based on content.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • API Rate Limit Exceeded: iPaaS automatically throttles requests and retries with exponential backoff.
  • Invalid Data Format: AI-driven validation flags and quarantines malformed messages for correction.
  • Network Connectivity Issues: Automatic retries ensure message delivery once connectivity is restored.
  • Duplicate Record Creation: Idempotent design and deduplication logic prevent duplicates, especially for orders.
  • Mismatched SKUs/IDs: Error alerts trigger, and dead-letter queues hold messages for manual review and correction.
  • Downstream System Unavailable: Messages are queued and retried until the destination system is online.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General Integration FAQs

▸ What is the primary benefit of integrating Sage 200 with Channel Advisor?
The primary benefit is end-to-end automation of your multi-channel eCommerce operations. This includes real-time synchronization of orders, inventory, and product data, eliminating manual errors, accelerating fulfillment, and providing a unified view of your sales and financial data, all powered by an intelligent iPaaS.

AI-Powered Features FAQs

▸ How does AI enhance this Sage 200 and Channel Advisor integration?
AI significantly enhances the integration by providing capabilities like auto-mapping of fields, intelligent data validation, anomaly detection (e.g., for fraudulent orders or unusual stock changes), and smart error resolution suggestions. This reduces setup time, improves data quality, and makes your integration workflows more resilient and proactive.

Low-Code/No-Code FAQs

▸ Can I customize the integration workflows without coding?
Absolutely. Our modern iPaaS platform offers a low-code/no-code visual builder with drag-and-drop functionality. Business users and citizen integrators can easily design, configure, and modify integration workflows, map custom fields, and define business rules without writing a single line of code, ensuring business agility.

Key Workflows FAQs

▸ How is inventory synchronized between Sage 200 and Channel Advisor?
Inventory synchronization is typically near real-time. When stock levels change in Sage 200 (e.g., sales, purchases), our iPaaS detects these changes (often event-driven), transforms the data, and pushes updates to Channel Advisor's `/v2/inventory` endpoint. Channel Advisor then propagates these accurate stock levels to all connected marketplaces, preventing overselling.

Error Handling FAQs

▸ What happens if an integration fails or an error occurs?
Our solution employs robust error handling. This includes comprehensive logging, configurable retry mechanisms with exponential backoff for transient errors, and dead-letter queues for persistent failures. Real-time alerts notify relevant teams, and AI can even suggest auto-resolution for common data validation issues, ensuring data integrity and minimal downtime.

Implementation FAQs

▸ How long does it take to implement this integration?
The timeframe varies based on complexity and customization, but leveraging our low-code iPaaS and AI-assisted setup significantly accelerates deployment. Core workflows for orders, inventory, and products can often go live within weeks to a few months, much faster than traditional custom coding approaches.

Security & Compliance FAQs

▸ Is the integration secure and compliant with data regulations?
Yes, security and compliance are paramount. The integration uses OAuth 2.0/API keys, TLS 1.2+ encryption for data in transit, and encryption at rest for sensitive data. We adhere to standards like GDPR, CCPA, and PCI DSS (where applicable), with comprehensive audit trails and strict access controls to ensure data protection.
