Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping

This section details the critical business entities exchanged between SAP Concur and Oracle Fusion, highlighting their key fields, mapping considerations, and how AI assists in ensuring accurate and consistent data flow.

Expense Report

A collection of individual expense entries submitted by an employee in Concur. Maps to Journal Entries or AP Invoices in Oracle Fusion.

SAP Concur Fields

ReportID EmployeeID ReportName Status TotalAmount Currency SubmissionDate ApprovalDate GLPostingStatus Expense Entries (list)

Oracle Fusion Fields

JournalBatchName JournalName LedgerName EffectiveDate CurrencyCode JournalLines (AccountNumber, DebitAmount, CreditAmount, Description, CostCenter) InvoiceNumber InvoiceDate SupplierName Amount LineItems (Description, Quantity, UnitPrice, TaxAmount, GLAccount, CostCenter)

Mapping Notes

Concur's 'Expense Report' can map to Oracle Fusion's 'Journal Entry' for direct GL posting, or 'Invoice' (AP) for reimbursement processing. The 'Status' and 'GLPostingStatus' in Concur are crucial triggers. EmployeeID maps to Oracle Fusion's PersonNumber.

Automated Expense Report to Oracle Fusion GL Posting

Transform approved SAP Concur expense reports into Oracle Fusion Journal Entries or AP Invoices, ensuring accurate, timely financial posting and employee reimbursement.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Employee submits expense report in Concur, including receipts and GL coding.
  2. 1 Concur workflow routes for approval based on policy and manager hierarchy.
  3. 2 Upon final approval, iPaaS triggers, extracts, and transforms Concur expense data.
  4. 3 iPaaS posts expense details as journal entries or AP invoices in Oracle Fusion GL/AP.
  5. 4 Payment status from Oracle Fusion can be synced back to Concur for visibility.

Business Outcome

Faster reimbursements, accurate GL postings, reduced manual data entry, and streamlined financial close.

Frequency

Event-driven (on Concur approval) or scheduled batch (e.g., hourly).

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General Integration FAQs

▸ Why is a modern iPaaS essential for SAP Concur and Oracle Fusion integration?
A modern iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) is crucial because it provides a centralized, scalable, and secure platform that goes beyond simple point-to-point connections. It offers robust capabilities for data mapping, workflow orchestration, API management, error handling, and security, essential for complex enterprise environments like those involving Concur and Oracle Fusion. This ensures resilient, auditable, and real-time data flow, accelerating deployment and reducing maintenance compared to custom coding.

AI & Automation FAQs

▸ How does AI enhance SAP Concur and Oracle Fusion workflows?
AI significantly augments integration workflows by automating tasks like receipt OCR and data extraction in Concur, intelligently suggesting GL account codes for expenses and invoices, performing real-time policy compliance checks, and detecting anomalies or potential fraud in spending patterns. For Oracle Fusion, AI can assist in validating inbound data, suggesting mappings, and even automating resolutions for common errors, drastically reducing manual effort and improving data accuracy across both systems.

Data Flow FAQs

▸ What are the primary data flows between SAP Concur and Oracle Fusion?
Key data flows include: 1) Approved Concur Expense Reports and Invoices posting to Oracle Fusion General Ledger (as Journal Entries) or Accounts Payable (as Supplier Invoices). 2) Employee master data from Oracle Fusion HCM synchronizing to Concur for user provisioning and approval hierarchies. 3) Vendor/Supplier master data from Oracle Fusion Procurement synchronizing to Concur for invoice processing. 4) Payment status from Oracle Fusion back to Concur for reconciliation.

Specific Workflows FAQs

▸ How do you handle corporate credit card transaction reconciliation with Concur and Oracle Fusion?
We automate this by integrating with corporate card providers to import daily transaction feeds into Concur. The iPaaS then facilitates intelligent matching of these transactions with employee-submitted receipts and expense entries within Concur. Once approved, the reconciled expense data (including corporate card spend) is aggregated and posted to Oracle Fusion General Ledger for accurate financial statements and cash management reconciliation, reducing manual effort for finance teams.

Security & Compliance FAQs

▸ What are the key security considerations for integrating Concur and Oracle Fusion?
Security is paramount. Key considerations include using OAuth 2.0 for secure API authentication, encrypting all data in transit (TLS) and at rest, implementing the principle of least privilege for integration user accounts in both systems, IP whitelisting, and maintaining comprehensive audit trails. Adherence to compliance standards like SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and SOX is also crucial, with the iPaaS providing robust features to meet these requirements.

Customization FAQs

▸ Can I customize the integration workflows and data mappings?
Absolutely. Our iPaaS provides a low-code/no-code visual designer that empowers business users and IT to easily customize integration workflows, define specific data mapping rules, implement conditional logic, and extend with custom fields from both Concur and Oracle Fusion. This flexibility ensures the integration perfectly aligns with your unique business processes and evolving requirements, without relying on extensive coding.

Business Value FAQs

▸ How does this integration support faster financial close?
By automating the entire expense and invoice lifecycle – from submission and approval in Concur to accurate posting in Oracle Fusion's General Ledger and Accounts Payable – the integration significantly reduces manual tasks, eliminates data entry errors, and accelerates reconciliation processes. This real-time data flow ensures financial records are always up-to-date, allowing finance teams to close the books faster and with greater accuracy.

Technical Details FAQs

▸ What kind of error handling and monitoring is in place?
Our integrations feature robust error handling including detailed logging, automated retry mechanisms with exponential backoff for transient API errors, and intelligent routing of unprocessable messages to 'dead-letter queues' for manual review. A centralized monitoring dashboard provides real-time visibility into integration health, performance metrics, and error occurrences, enabling quick identification and resolution of any issues.
