Deep Dive: SAP ByDesign & Epicor E10 Technical Integration

Our iPaaS provides a robust, event-driven framework for connecting SAP Business ByDesign and Epicor E10. It handles the complexities of API communication, data transformation, and workflow orchestration, ensuring reliable and secure data exchange.

Data Flow Steps

Secure Authentication: Establish secure connections using OAuth 2.0 for SAP ByDesign and token-based authentication for Epicor E10, managed securely by the iPaaS.

Event-Driven Triggers: Configure Epicor E10 Business Process Management (BPMs) or ByDesign webhooks to trigger integration flows on specific events (e.g., 'Sales Order Created', 'Inventory Level Changed').

API Interaction: Utilize SAP ByDesign's OData and SOAP web services, and Epicor E10's RESTful APIs (via ICE framework) for bi-directional data exchange.

Intelligent Data Transformation: Apply AI-assisted data mapping and transformation rules within the iPaaS to convert data schemas between the two ERPs.

Workflow Orchestration: Design complex multi-step workflows to handle end-to-end processes, including conditional logic, parallel processing, and error handling.

Monitoring & Alerting: Continuously monitor integration health, data flow, and API performance from a centralized iPaaS dashboard, with automated alerts for anomalies.

Data Touchpoints

Customer: SAP ByDesign `CustomerCollection` <=> Epicor E10 `CustomerSvc/Customers`
Product/Part: SAP ByDesign `ProductCollection` <=> Epicor E10 `PartSvc/Parts`
Inventory: SAP ByDesign `Inventory` <=> Epicor E10 `PartQtySvc/PartQtys`
Sales Order: SAP ByDesign `SalesOrderCollection` <=> Epicor E10 `SalesOrderSvc/SalesOrders`
Purchase Order: SAP ByDesign `Purchase Order` <=> Epicor E10 `Purchase Order`
Supplier/Vendor: SAP ByDesign `Supplier` <=> Epicor E10 `Vendor`
Invoice (AR/AP): SAP ByDesign `Supplier Invoice`/`Payment` <=> Epicor E10 `APInvoiceSvc/APInvoices`
GL Entries: SAP ByDesign `General Ledger Entry` <=> Epicor E10 `GL Account` (indirectly via transactions)
Project/Job: SAP ByDesign `Project` <=> Epicor E10 `JobEntrySvc/Jobs`
Shipment: SAP ByDesign `Sales Order` (delivery updates) <=> Epicor E10 `Shipment (ShipHead / ShipDtl)`

"Conceptual Flow: Data originates in System A (e.g., SAP ByDesign Sales Order) -> iPaaS captures event/polls -> iPaaS transforms data (AI-assisted mapping) -> iPaaS authenticates to System B (Epicor E10) -> iPaaS creates/updates record in System B (Epicor E10 Sales Order) -> Status/confirmation flows back via iPaaS if needed. This applies bi-directionally for relevant entities."

Data Mapping

Core Entities & Intelligent Data Mapping

Effective integration hinges on precise mapping and transformation of core business entities. Our iPaaS provides visual tools and AI assistance to harmonize the data structures of SAP ByDesign and Epicor E10, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

Customer

Synchronizes customer master data, including billing and shipping addresses, contact information, and payment terms, ensuring a unified customer view across sales, finance, and manufacturing.

SAP Business ByDesign Fields

ID Name Street City Country Email PhoneNumber AccountType SoldToPartyID ShipToPartyID

Epicor E10 Fields

CustNum CustID Name Address1 City State Zip Country PhoneNum EmailAddress TermsCode SalespersonCode ShipToNum

Mapping Notes

Epicor's `CustNum` (internal ID) and `CustID` (user-defined) need careful consideration for matching with ByDesign's `ID`. Address fields require standardization. `TermsCode` and `SalespersonCode` in Epicor E10 require lookup against Epicor's master data, potentially mapping to ByDesign's `Payment Terms` or `Employee` (Sales Rep) associations. Deduplication logic is critical.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General FAQs

▸ Why would an organization integrate both SAP Business ByDesign and Epicor E10?
Organizations typically integrate these two ERPs due to mergers and acquisitions, specialized business unit requirements (e.g., one uses Epicor E10 for manufacturing, another uses ByDesign for professional services or financials), or during a phased migration where both systems need to coexist and share data temporarily. The goal is always to achieve unified operations and reporting.

Technical FAQs

▸ What are the primary integration methods for SAP ByDesign and Epicor E10?
SAP Business ByDesign primarily offers OData and SOAP web services. Epicor E10 leverages modern RESTful APIs through its ICE framework, as well as Business Process Management (BPM) triggers for event-driven scenarios. A modern iPaaS unifies these diverse methods, providing robust connectors for each.

iPaaS Benefits FAQs

▸ How does an iPaaS facilitate this complex ERP-to-ERP integration?
An iPaaS acts as a central hub, abstracting the complexities of each ERP's APIs. It provides visual low-code tools for designing workflows, intelligent data mapping and transformation, robust error handling, and centralized monitoring. This enables bi-directional, real-time data flow without extensive custom coding, accelerating development and improving reliability.

AI Features FAQs

▸ Can AI truly assist with SAP ByDesign and Epicor E10 data mapping?
Absolutely. AI can analyze the schemas of both ERPs and your historical data to suggest optimal field mappings, identify potential data type conflicts, and even recommend complex transformation functions. It significantly reduces the manual effort and expertise required for initial setup, and improves mapping accuracy.

Data & Entities FAQs

▸ What are the key entities typically synchronized between these two ERPs?
Commonly synchronized entities include Customer, Product/Part, Sales Order, Purchase Order, Supplier/Vendor, Inventory, and AP/Supplier Invoices. Financial data, such as General Ledger entries, is also often consolidated for reporting purposes.

Performance FAQs

▸ How do you handle API rate limits and performance when integrating with ByDesign and E10?
Our iPaaS employs intelligent strategies like message queuing to buffer requests, exponential backoff for retries, configurable batch processing for bulk operations, and dynamic throttling. Caching of static data also reduces API calls. This ensures optimal performance without hitting rate limits or overloading either ERP system.

Security FAQs

▸ What security measures are in place for this integration?
We implement enterprise-grade security, including OAuth 2.0 and token-based authentication with least privilege access for service accounts, TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data in transit, and AES-256 encryption for data at rest. IP whitelisting, data masking, and comprehensive audit trails ensure data protection and compliance.

Use Cases FAQs

▸ How does this integration support manufacturing processes managed in Epicor E10?
The integration supports manufacturing by synchronizing Epicor E10's Job (production order) data, inventory movements, and shipment details with SAP ByDesign. This allows ByDesign to accurately track project costs, update financial records, and maintain real-time inventory visibility, aligning manufacturing operations with financial and sales processes.
