The Challenge

The Challenge of Disconnected ERPs: SAP Business ByDesign & Epicor Eclipse

Operating with SAP Business ByDesign and Epicor Eclipse in isolation creates significant operational friction. Data remains fragmented, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and a lack of real-time visibility across your enterprise.

  • Manual data entry between systems is time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Delayed financial reporting due to disconnected operational data.
  • Inaccurate inventory levels leading to stockouts or overselling.
  • Customer and vendor data inconsistencies across platforms.
  • Lack of a unified view for sales, procurement, and financial performance.

Technical Integration Details & Architecture

This integration leverages a modern Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) to orchestrate data exchange and workflow automation between SAP Business ByDesign and Epicor Eclipse. The architecture prioritizes API-first, event-driven communication for optimal performance and real-time data synchronization.

Data Flow Steps

Connectors: Utilize pre-built, optimized connectors for SAP Business ByDesign's OData/SOAP services and Epicor Eclipse's REST/SOAP APIs.

Authentication: Securely manage credentials using OAuth 2.0 (ByDesign) and API Keys/OAuth 2.0 (Eclipse) with token rotation and least privilege access.

Event Listeners/Webhooks: Configure iPaaS to listen for events (e.g., new order, inventory update) from both systems for real-time triggers.

Data Mapping & Transformation: Visually map fields and apply complex business rules and transformations (e.g., UOM conversion, currency exchange) within the iPaaS.

Data Validation: Implement AI-assisted and rule-based validation to ensure data quality before posting to either ERP.

Error Handling & Retries: Automatic retry mechanisms with exponential backoff for transient errors, and dead-letter queues for persistent issues.

Logging & Monitoring: Comprehensive logging of all transactions and real-time monitoring dashboards for integration health.

Deployment: Seamless promotion of integration flows from Dev to QA to Production environments with version control.

Data Mapping

Key Data Entities & Field-Level Mappings

A successful integration hinges on precise mapping and transformation of core business entities between SAP Business ByDesign and Epicor Eclipse. Our iPaaS provides the tools to achieve this with accuracy and flexibility.

Customer

Synchronizes customer master data, ensuring consistent contact information, billing addresses, and credit terms across both ERPs for sales, service, and financial processes.

SAP Business ByDesign Fields

ID Name Street City Country Email PhoneNumber AccountType SoldToPartyID

Epicor Eclipse Fields

CustomerID CustomerName Address ContactInfo CreditLimit TermsCode BillToAddress ShipToAddress

Mapping Notes

Requires careful handling of 'Account' vs. 'Contact Person' in ByDesign. Deduplication logic is crucial. Epicor Eclipse's 'TermsCode' might require mapping to ByDesign's 'PaymentTerms'. Ensure consistent ID mapping via an external ID field or iPaaS lookup.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General FAQs

▸ Why integrate SAP Business ByDesign and Epicor Eclipse?
Integrating these two powerful ERPs eliminates data silos, automates critical workflows like order-to-cash and procure-to-pay, and provides a unified view of your business. This leads to increased efficiency, better data quality, and faster decision-making across financials, sales, and inventory.

Technical FAQs

▸ What are the common data entities synchronized between SAP ByDesign and Epicor Eclipse?
Key entities include Customer, Sales Order, Product/Item, Purchase Order, Supplier/Vendor, Inventory, Sales Invoice, and Vendor Invoice. The integration ensures consistent and accurate master data and transactional records across both systems.
▸ What kind of APIs are used for this integration?
SAP Business ByDesign primarily offers OData and SOAP web services. Epicor Eclipse typically provides RESTful APIs. The iPaaS intelligently leverages these different API types, abstracting the technical details and providing a unified integration layer.

iPaaS FAQs

▸ How does an iPaaS facilitate this integration?
A modern iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) provides pre-built connectors, a low-code visual mapping canvas, a robust workflow engine, and centralized monitoring. It handles API complexities, data transformations, error handling, and security, making the integration faster, more reliable, and easier to manage than custom coding.

Use Cases FAQs

▸ Can I automate my Order-to-Cash process between Epicor Eclipse and SAP ByDesign?
Absolutely. This is a primary use case. Sales Orders originating in Epicor Eclipse can be automatically synchronized to SAP Business ByDesign for financial posting, invoicing, and revenue recognition, with real-time inventory updates and payment acknowledgments flowing back.

AI Features FAQs

▸ How does AI enhance the SAP ByDesign and Epicor Eclipse integration?
AI can provide intelligent mapping suggestions, detect anomalies in transactions (e.g., mismatched invoices, unusual order values), automate resolution of common data validation errors, and offer predictive insights for inventory or cash flow, significantly improving data quality and efficiency.

Data Management FAQs

▸ How do you handle data consistency and conflicts during synchronization?
We implement robust data harmonization rules, data validation at multiple stages, and configurable conflict resolution strategies (e.g., 'last write wins', 'system of record priority'). Comprehensive logging and AI-assisted tools help identify and resolve discrepancies quickly.

Security FAQs

▸ What are the security considerations for integrating these ERP systems?
Security is paramount. We use OAuth 2.0 for authentication, TLS 1.2+ for data in transit, encryption for data at rest, IP whitelisting, and enforce least privilege access. Comprehensive audit trails and compliance with standards like GDPR and PCI DSS are also integral.
