Technical Integration Details & Data Flow Architecture

Our iPaaS provides a robust and flexible architecture for connecting SAP Business ByDesign and Amazon Marketplace. It leverages the strengths of both platforms' APIs, ensuring secure, scalable, and efficient data exchange.

Data Flow Steps

Authentication & Authorization: Securely connect to Amazon SP-API using OAuth 2.0 (Login with Amazon) and to SAP ByDesign using Basic Authentication over HTTPS with dedicated service users.

Event Listener/Polling: The iPaaS continuously monitors Amazon for new orders, returns, or inventory changes via webhooks (Notifications API) or scheduled polling. For ByDesign, it listens for inventory updates or processes outbound data.

Data Extraction: Relevant data entities (e.g., Amazon Order, ByDesign Inventory) are extracted from their respective source systems.

Data Transformation & Mapping: The iPaaS's visual mapping canvas transforms the extracted data from the source schema to the target schema, handling data types, formats, and business logic (e.g., calculating net price, mapping GL accounts).

Data Validation: AI-enhanced validation rules are applied to ensure data quality and integrity before posting to the target system.

Target System Ingestion: Transformed and validated data is then ingested into the target system via its respective APIs (e.g., ByDesign's SOAP services, Amazon's SP-API).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Any failures are logged, alerts are triggered, and intelligent retry mechanisms are engaged. A centralized dashboard provides real-time visibility into all integration flows.

Data Touchpoints

Amazon Order (ID, Items, Status, Shipping, Total) <-> SAP ByDesign Sales Order (ID, Buyer, Products, Quantity, Price, Status)
Amazon Inventory/Stock (SKU, Quantity) <-> SAP ByDesign Inventory (MaterialID, Quantity)

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Field Mapping

Our iPaaS simplifies complex data mapping between SAP Business ByDesign and Amazon Marketplace entities, ensuring accurate and consistent data flow with AI-assisted intelligence.

Order / Sales Order

Represents a customer purchase. Amazon's 'Order' becomes ByDesign's 'Sales Order'.

SAP Business ByDesign & Fields

Amazon Marketplace | Real-time Sync Fields

amazonOrderId purchaseDate orderStatus fulfillmentChannel sellerOrderId shippingAddress orderTotal paymentMethod OrderItem (SKU, Quantity, Price)

Mapping Notes

Map `amazonOrderId` to ByDesign's `ReferenceDocumentID` for traceability. `orderStatus` mapping to ByDesign's `Status` requires careful consideration of lifecycle states. `shippingAddress` from Amazon maps to ByDesign's `ShipToParty` address fields. Amazon's `OrderItem.sku` is critical for matching to ByDesign's `Product.ProductID`.
