The Challenge

The Hidden Costs of Disconnected eBay & Spend Management

For mid-market companies, managing a thriving eBay presence while maintaining strict financial controls with SAP Concur can feel like two separate battles. The disconnect leads to inefficiency, errors, and a lack of clear financial insight.

  • Manual Reconciliation Headaches: Finance teams spend countless hours manually reconciling eBay seller fees, advertising costs, and payouts against bank statements and internal records.
  • Delayed Financial Close: The manual effort required for eBay accounting significantly prolongs month-end and year-end close processes, impacting reporting timelines.
  • Lack of Spend Visibility: It's challenging to get a consolidated view of the true operational costs associated with your eBay channel when expenses are siloed in Concur and sales data is on eBay.
  • Compliance & Audit Risks: Manual data entry increases the risk of errors, policy violations, and makes audits more complex, especially for employee purchases on eBay.
  • Resource Drain: Valuable finance and operations personnel are tied up in repetitive data entry and validation instead of strategic analysis.

Technical Integration Details: How Data Flows

Our robust integration solution builds a seamless bridge between SAP Concur and eBay, orchestrating data flow with precision, security, and scalability. Leveraging a modern iPaaS, we ensure your financial and marketplace operations are always in sync.

Data Flow Steps

Authentication & Connectivity: Secure OAuth 2.0 connections are established for both SAP Concur and eBay APIs, managed by the iPaaS's built-in secrets vault.

Event Capture & Polling: eBay transaction events (fees, refunds, payouts) are captured via real-time webhooks or efficient scheduled polling. For Concur, API calls are made to retrieve expense reports, invoices, or post GL entries.

AI-Driven Data Transformation: Raw data from eBay is ingested and transformed. Our AI Co-pilot assists in mapping eBay fields (e.g., `transactionType`, `amount`) to Concur entities (`Invoice`, `Expense Entry`), suggesting `GL Account` codes and `Cost Centers` based on context and historical data.

Workflow Orchestration: The iPaaS orchestrates multi-step workflows, such as creating a new `Invoice` in Concur for eBay fees, or enriching an `Expense Entry` for an employee's eBay purchase. This includes applying business rules and conditional logic.

Validation & Error Handling: Data is validated against predefined schemas and Concur 'Policy Rules'. Robust error handling with retry mechanisms and dead-letter queues ensures data integrity and prevents loss.

Posting & Reconciliation: Approved Concur `Expense Reports` and `Invoices` are posted to the ERP's General Ledger or Accounts Payable via Concur's financial endpoints. Reconciliation data from eBay can be correlated for comprehensive financial reporting.

Data Touchpoints

eBay -> Concur: `Transaction` (fees, payouts) -> `Invoice`, `Expense Entry` (for employee purchases).
Concur -> ERP: `Expense Report`, `Invoice` -> `GL Entry`, `Payment Transaction` (for reimbursement/payment).
Concur -> Data Warehouse: `Expense Report`, `Invoice` data.
eBay -> Data Warehouse: `Order`, `Transaction`, `Traffic Report` data.

"Conceptual Flow: eBay (Webhooks/APIs) -> iPaaS -> (AI Mapping/Transformation) -> SAP Concur (Invoice/Expense/GL APIs) -> ERP (GL/AP). Bidirectional for master data (e.g., Concur Vendor Master sync for eBay Inc.). Consolidated data from both systems feeds into a Data Warehouse/BI platform via iPaaS."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping

Our integration meticulously maps core entities between SAP Concur and eBay, leveraging AI to bridge the semantic gaps and ensure data consistency across your financial and marketplace operations.

Ebay Transaction / Concur Invoice

Mapping financial transactions from eBay (seller fees, advertising costs) to Concur's Invoice module for processing and accounting.

SAP Concur Fields

[field, InvoiceID],[description, Unique identifier for the invoice.] [field, VendorID],[description, Vendor associated with the invoice (e.g., eBay Inc.).] [field, InvoiceNumber],[description, Reference number from eBay (e.g., transaction ID, fee ID).] [field, InvoiceDate],[description, Date of the eBay transaction/fee.] [field, TotalAmount],[description, Amount of the eBay fee or payout.] [field, Currency],[description, Currency of the transaction.] [field, Status],[description, Invoice status in Concur.] [field, GLPostingStatus],[description, Status of GL posting.] [field, CostCenter],[description, Internal cost center for eBay operations.] [field, PurchaseOrderRef],[description, Optional: PO reference if applicable.]

Ebay Fields

[field, transactionId],[description, Unique identifier for the eBay financial transaction.] [field, transactionType],[description, Type of transaction (e.g., SALE, REFUND, FEE).] [field, transactionDate],[description, Date of the eBay transaction.] [field, amount],[description, Net amount of the transaction.] [field, currency],[description, Currency of the transaction.] [field, fees],[description, Associated eBay fees for a transaction.] [field, originalOrderId],[description, Reference to the original order for refunds.]

Mapping Notes

eBay 'transactionId' or a derived unique ID maps to Concur 'InvoiceNumber'. eBay 'fees' map to Concur 'TotalAmount' with appropriate sign. A static 'VendorID' for eBay is typically used. 'CostCenter' should be derived based on business rules for eBay operations. `transactionType` dictates how the amount is treated (e.g., credit vs. debit).

  1. 0 eBay 'Transaction' events (fees, payouts) are captured via webhooks.
  2. 1 iPaaS extracts relevant financial data (amount, type, date, associated order/seller).
  3. 2 AI-assisted mapping identifies corresponding Concur 'Vendor' (eBay) and 'GL Account'.
  4. 3 A 'Invoice' is automatically created in Concur Invoice or a 'Payment Transaction' record is prepared for ERP posting.
  5. 4 Concur's approval workflow ensures compliance before final posting to the ERP's Accounts Payable or General Ledger.

Business Outcome

Reduced manual reconciliation effort by 80%, improved accuracy of financial statements, faster month-end close, and clear visibility into eBay operational costs.
