The Challenge

The Hidden Costs of Disconnected Amazon Marketplace Operations

For mid-market companies, managing financial interactions with Amazon Marketplace – whether as a seller or a buyer – often creates a complex web of manual processes. This leads to costly errors, delayed reporting, and a lack of clear spend visibility, hindering strategic decision-making.

  • Manual reconciliation of Amazon's intricate settlement reports, leading to hours of spreadsheet work and potential errors.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into Amazon seller fees, advertising spend, and employee purchases, making budget tracking difficult.
  • Discrepancies between Amazon transaction data and internal accounting records, complicating financial close and audits.
  • Inefficient processing of employee expenses for Amazon Business purchases, requiring manual data entry and receipt matching.
  • Difficulty in enforcing spend policies and identifying anomalies across diverse Amazon-related expenditures.

Technical Integration Overview: Orchestrating Data Flow

Our integration solution acts as an intelligent intermediary, orchestrating the secure and efficient flow of critical financial data between SAP Concur and Amazon Marketplace. Leveraging an event-driven architecture, it ensures real-time updates and robust data integrity.

Data Flow Steps

Event Trigger: A new Amazon Settlement Report is available, an employee makes an Amazon Business purchase, or an Amazon service fee is incurred.

Data Capture: The iPaaS uses Amazon SP-API (Reports, Orders, FinancialEvents) to retrieve relevant data. For Concur, it monitors for new Expense Reports, Invoices, or corporate card transactions.

AI-Driven Transformation: Raw data is ingested into the iPaaS. Our AI co-pilot suggests and applies data transformations, standardizes formats, and intelligently maps fields (e.g., Amazon FinancialEvent types to Concur Expense Types/GL Accounts).

Validation & Policy Enforcement: Data is validated against predefined rules and Concur's policy rules. AI flags anomalies or potential policy violations.

Workflow Orchestration: Based on the business logic, the iPaaS orchestrates multi-step workflows, such as creating a Concur Invoice from Amazon fees or pre-populating an Expense Entry from an Amazon Business order.

Data Delivery: Transformed and validated data is pushed to the target system via its respective APIs (Concur Expense/Invoice APIs, Amazon SP-API for updates if applicable).

Confirmation & Audit: The iPaaS logs the transaction, confirms successful delivery, and provides comprehensive audit trails for compliance.

Data Touchpoints

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping

The seamless flow of financial data relies on precise mapping and transformation of entities between Amazon Marketplace and SAP Concur. Our AI-first iPaaS simplifies this complex process, ensuring data integrity and accuracy.

FinancialEvent (Amazon) to Invoice/Expense Entry (Concur)

Amazon's FinancialEvents represent individual transactions (sales, fees, refunds). These are transformed into Concur Invoices (for aggregated fees) or Expense Entries (for specific charges).

SAP Concur Fields

EntryID ReportID ExpenseType Amount Currency TransactionDate VendorName Description GLAccountCode CostCenter

Amazon Marketplace Fields

amazonOrderId type amount postedDate sellerSKU feeType feeAmount currency

Mapping Notes

Complex mapping required due to the granular and diverse nature of Amazon FinancialEvents. Aggregation rules are often applied for creating single Concur Invoices from multiple related fees. 'type' and 'feeType' from Amazon are crucial for mapping to Concur 'ExpenseType' and 'GLAccountCode'.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Amazon generates Settlement Report (Report entity, FinancialEvent details).
  2. 1 iPaaS requests/receives Report via SP-API, parses FinancialEvent data.
  3. 2 AI-assisted mapping translates Amazon transaction types (e.g., 'FBASTORAGEFEE', 'ADVERTISING_FEE') to Concur GL Accounts and Expense Types.
  4. 3 iPaaS creates new Invoice entries in Concur Invoice for aggregated fees or expense entries for specific charges.
  5. 4 Concur's approval workflow is triggered for the newly created invoices/expenses.
  6. 5 Approved Concur invoices/expenses are posted to the ERP's General Ledger.

  • Currency Conversion: Automate currency conversion for international Amazon transactions into the Concur base currency, using daily exchange rates.
  • Data Enrichment: Enrich Concur Expense Entry descriptions with detailed Amazon OrderItem information (e.g., product name, quantity).
  • Vendor Harmonization: Standardize 'Amazon.com Services Inc.' as the 'VendorName' in Concur for all related transactions.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Amazon SP-API rate limit exceeded: iPaaS throttles and retries.
  • Invalid GL account code from AI mapping: Alert and route to DLQ for manual correction.
  • Missing required field in Amazon data for Concur: Alert and hold transaction.
  • Concur API temporary unavailability: Automatic retry with exponential backoff.
  • Duplicate Amazon FinancialEvent processed: Idempotent design prevents duplicate creation.
