Technical Integration Details: Connecting Sage X3 and SAP ECC

Our iPaaS provides a robust, secure, and scalable framework for integrating Sage X3 and SAP ECC. It abstracts the complexities of each ERP's API, offering a unified platform for building, deploying, and managing sophisticated cross-ERP workflows.

Data Flow Steps

Establish Connectivity: Configure secure connectors for Sage X3 (RESTful APIs, OAuth2) and SAP ECC (BAPIs/RFCs via SAP .NET Connector or JCo, IDocs, OData via NetWeaver Gateway).

Define Event Triggers: Set up event listeners or webhooks on Sage X3 (e.g., new sales order, invoice creation) and configure change pointers or BAPI events in SAP ECC to initiate integration flows.

Design Integration Flows: Use the low-code visual designer to create multi-step workflows. For example, a new customer in Sage X3 triggers a flow to create a customer in SAP ECC.

Data Mapping & Transformation: Map source fields from one ERP to target fields in the other. Apply data transformation rules (e.g., currency conversion, date formatting, value lookups) to ensure data harmonization.

Implement Business Logic: Add conditional logic, branching, and error handling steps to workflows to manage specific business rules or exceptions.

Deploy & Monitor: Deploy integration flows to dedicated environments (Dev, QA, Prod). Monitor execution, data throughput, and error rates via centralized dashboards and alerts.

Test & Validate: Rigorously test flows in sandbox environments, validating data accuracy and workflow integrity end-to-end before promoting to production.

"A central iPaaS orchestrates bi-directional data flow. Events originating in Sage X3 (e.g., Sales Order creation via `/api/v1/salesOrders`) are captured, transformed, and pushed to SAP ECC (e.g., BAPISALESORDERCREATEFROMDAT2). Conversely, updates in SAP ECC (e.g., Material Master inventory changes via BAPIGOODSMVTCREATE) are captured, transformed, and synced to Sage X3 (e.g., updating `/api/v1/products/{productCode}` for inventory). This forms a continuous, event-driven integration loop, with comprehensive error handling and logging at each stage."
