Data Mapping

Data Entity Mapping

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

Customer / Business Partner

Synchronizing customer master data ensures a unified view of customer information across sales, service, and finance.

SAP Business One Fields

CardCode (Key) CardName CardType (Customer) Address Phone Email FederalTaxID ContactPersons

Epicor E10 Fields

CustNum (Key) CustID Name Address1 City State Zip Country PhoneNum EmailAddress TermsCode SalespersonCode

Mapping Notes

Requires careful mapping of `CardType` to Epicor's Customer context. Address structures may differ and require multi-field concatenation/splitting. `ContactPersons` in SAP B1 maps to 'Contacts' in Epicor. Deduplication logic is crucial for initial loads and ongoing syncs based on `CustID`/`CardCode` or email/name combinations.

Transformation Logic

  • Canonical Data Model: All data is transformed to and from a standardized, canonical format within the iPaaS, simplifying complex mappings and ensuring consistency.
  • Field Mapping & Concatenation: Combine multiple source fields (e.g., Epicor E10 'Address1', 'City', 'State') into a single target field (e.g., SAP B1 'Address').
  • Lookup Table Translations: Translate codes (e.g., Epicor E10 `TermsCode` to SAP B1 Payment Terms) using pre-configured lookup tables within the iPaaS.
  • Conditional Logic: Apply transformations only if certain conditions are met (e.g., apply discount only for specific customer groups).
  • Data Type Conversion: Automatically convert data types (e.g., string to integer, date format changes) between systems.
  • Unit of Measure (UoM) Conversion: Handle complex UoM conversions between manufacturing (Epicor) and financial (SAP B1) contexts.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • API Rate Limit Exceeded: iPaaS automatically queues and retries requests with exponential backoff.
  • Data Validation Failure: Message is routed to DLQ, alert sent, and AI suggests potential fix.
  • Network Interruption: Automatic retries ensure eventual delivery once connectivity is restored.
  • Duplicate Record Creation: Idempotent design prevents duplicates; conflict resolution logic handles existing records.
  • Mandatory Field Missing: Pre-validation catches this; workflow fails early, error logged.

This leads to increased operational efficiency, reduced costs, and better decision-making.

Technical FAQs

How does an iPaaS facilitate the integration between these two ERP systems?
A modern iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) acts as a central hub, providing pre-built connectors, low-code visual mapping tools, and workflow orchestration capabilities. It leverages the native APIs of both SAP Business One (Service Layer) and Epicor E10 (RESTful APIs via ICE) to facilitate secure, scalable, and event-driven data exchange, abstracting the technical complexities.
Is real-time data synchronization possible between SAP Business One and Epicor E10?
Yes, real-time data synchronization is entirely possible and highly recommended for many scenarios. By utilizing SAP Business One's Service Layer webhooks and Epicor E10's Business Process Management (BPM) triggers in conjunction with an event-driven iPaaS, changes in one system (e.g., a new sales order, inventory adjustment) can instantly trigger updates in the other.
How do you handle errors and ensure data integrity during integration?
Our solution employs a multi-tiered error handling strategy: inline validation within the iPaaS, robust API response handling, automatic retries with exponential backoff for transient errors, and dead-letter queues (DLQs) for persistent failures. Real-time alerts and comprehensive monitoring dashboards ensure quick diagnosis and resolution, maintaining data integrity.

AI Features FAQs

How does AI enhance the SAP Business One and Epicor E10 integration workflows?
AI significantly enhances integrations by offering capabilities like automated data validation, intelligent mapping suggestions, anomaly detection (e.g., flagging unusual transactions), and autonomous exception handling. This reduces manual effort, improves data quality, and provides proactive insights, making your integrations smarter and more resilient.

Data FAQs

What are the common data entities synchronized between SAP Business One and Epicor E10?
Key entities commonly synchronized include Customer/Business Partner master data, Item/Part master data, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Inventory levels, A/R & A/P Invoices, and Production Orders/Jobs. Ensuring consistent mapping and transformation of these entities is critical for a successful integration.

Customization FAQs
