The Challenge

Disconnected Spend & eCommerce Data: The Mid-Market Challenge

Managing a thriving 3dcart store while meticulously tracking expenses in SAP Concur often leads to a disjointed and inefficient process. Without seamless integration, businesses face a cascade of challenges that hinder financial accuracy, compliance, and growth.

  • Manual data entry for 3dcart-related expenses into Concur (e.g., payment gateway fees, shipping invoices, marketing spend).
  • Delayed or inaccurate corporate card reconciliation for purchases made on 3dcart vendor sites.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into operational spend tied to eCommerce activities.
  • Increased risk of human error, policy violations, and potential fraud due to manual processes.
  • Slow financial close cycles and audit preparation due to disparate data sources.
  • Limited ability to analyze the true cost of eCommerce operations and identify savings.

Phase 2: Define Triggers & Events - Configure 3dcart webhooks (e.g., new order, payment update) or iPaaS polling for Concur (e.g., new corporate card transactions, approved expense reports).

Phase 3: Data Mapping & Transformation - Visually map relevant entities and fields using the iPaaS's low-code interface, often with AI-suggested mappings. Apply necessary data transformations (e.g., currency conversion, date formatting, GL code lookup).

Phase 4: Business Logic & Orchestration - Design multi-step workflows incorporating conditional logic, approvals, and error handling. Leverage AI for real-time validation and compliance checks.

Phase 5: Test & Deploy - Thoroughly test workflows in isolated sandbox environments. Utilize version control and CI/CD pipelines for controlled deployment to production.

Phase 6: Monitor & Optimize - Continuously monitor integration health, performance, and data flow from a centralized dashboard. Use AI insights for proactive issue resolution and ongoing optimization.

Data Touchpoints

From 3dcart to Concur: Order details (for expense/invoice reference), Payment details (e.g., transaction fees as expense), Product (for reference/lookup in Concur policies).
From Concur to 3dcart: (Less common for this pairing, but possible if Concur manages internal purchasing that impacts 3dcart inventory, e.g., internal store stock updates based on approved purchases).
Internal iPaaS: Data validation, enrichment, transformation, logging, error handling.

Data Mapping

Key Entities & AI-Powered Mapping for Concur & 3dcart Integration

Understanding how core entities flow and transform between 3dcart and SAP Concur is crucial. Our iPaaS provides visual, AI-assisted mapping to ensure accurate and consistent data synchronization, even for complex business scenarios.

3dcart Order / Concur Expense Entry

Maps specific details from a 3dcart order (e.g., shipping costs, specific item lines from a business purchase) to individual Expense Entries in Concur.

SAP Concur Fields

[field, OrderID],[description, Unique identifier for the 3dcart purchase.] [field, CustomerID],[description, Buyer's ID, potentially mapped to Concur EmployeeID.] [field, OrderTotal],[description, Total amount of the 3dcart order.] [field, Items[].SKU],[description, Product SKU within the order.] [field, Items[].Price],[description, Price of individual item.] [field, ShippingCost],[description, Cost of shipping for the order.] [field, PaymentMethod],[description, Method used for payment (e.g., Credit Card, PayPal).] [field, OrderDate],[description, Date of the 3dcart order.]

3dcart Fields

[field, EntryID],[description, Unique identifier for the Concur expense entry.] [field, ReportID],[description, ID of the parent expense report.] [field, ExpenseType],[description, Categorization of the expense (e.g., 'Shipping', 'Office Supplies').] [field, Amount],[description, Amount of the expense.] [field, Currency],[description, Currency of the expense.] [field, TransactionDate],[description, Date of the expense transaction.] [field, VendorName],[description, Merchant name (e.g., '3dcart Vendor Name').] [field, Description],[description, Detailed description of the expense.] [field, GLAccountCode],[description, General Ledger account for financial posting.] [field, CostCenter],[description, Cost center for allocation.]

Mapping Notes

A single 3dcart Order might map to one or more Concur Expense Entries depending on the line items and how expenses are categorized. For instance, 'ShippingCost' might become one Expense Entry, while specific product purchases become others. If a corporate card is used for the 3dcart order, the Order details can enrich the existing Concur Company Card Transaction, pre-populating the Expense Entry.

Automated Employee Expense Reporting for 3dcart Vendor Purchases

An employee uses a corporate card to purchase office supplies or marketing materials from a vendor's 3dcart store. This transaction is automatically ingested into Concur as a Company Card Transaction, pre-populated as an Expense Entry by the iPaaS, and linked for easy reconciliation.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Employee makes a business purchase on a vendor's 3dcart store using a corporate card.
  2. 1 Corporate card transaction data is imported daily into Concur via standard feeds.
  3. 2 The iPaaS monitors new Concur Company Card Transactions.
  4. 3 AI in the iPaaS identifies the 3dcart merchant, suggests the appropriate Concur Expense Type (e.g., 'Office Supplies', 'Marketing Expense'), and maps to the correct GL Account and Cost Center.
  5. 4 An Expense Entry is pre-created in Concur, awaiting employee review and receipt attachment.
  6. 5 Employee quickly reconciles the transaction, adds any missing details/receipts, and submits the Expense Report.
  7. 6 The Expense Report follows the standard Concur approval workflow and is posted to the ERP.

Business Outcome

Significantly reduced manual data entry for employees and finance, faster corporate card reconciliation, improved accuracy in expense categorization, and quicker financial posting.

Frequency

Daily (card import), Event-driven (iPaaS processing of new transactions), Real-time (employee submission)

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • Vendor Mapping: Fuzzy matching of 3dcart merchant names to Concur Vendor Master. If no match, create new vendor in Concur (pending approval).
  • Expense Type Derivation: Use AI to derive Concur `ExpenseType` from 3dcart order `Description` or `SKU` (e.g., 'Shipping Cost' -> 'Freight/Shipping').
  • GL Account & Cost Center Assignment: AI-suggested `GLAccountCode` and `CostCenter` based on `ExpenseType`, `VendorName`, and historical data. Override with predefined rules for specific scenarios.
  • Currency Conversion: Automatically convert 3dcart transaction currency to Concur's base currency using real-time exchange rates (if configured).
  • Date Formatting: Standardize date formats (e.g., 'YYYY-MM-DD') for consistency across systems.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Invalid Data Format: 3dcart sending malformed data; iPaaS validates and rejects/transforms.
  • API Rate Limit Exceeded: iPaaS automatically retries with backoff.
  • Concur Policy Violation: AI flags an expense exceeding limits; workflow routes for special approval or rejection.
  • Vendor Not Found: 3dcart vendor not in Concur/ERP master; iPaaS can create a new vendor or flag for manual review.
  • Network Connectivity Issues: Temporary outages handled by retry logic.
