Data Mapping

Data Entity Mapping

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

Invoice (Concur) to ERP AP

Vendor invoices related to Walmart Marketplace operations (e.g., ad agencies, packaging suppliers, 3PLs) processed in Concur Invoice and posted to the ERP's Accounts Payable.

SAP Concur Fields

InvoiceID VendorID InvoiceNumber InvoiceDate TotalAmount Status GLPostingStatus CostCenter PurchaseOrderRef

Walmart Marketplace Fields

Seller Account (Contextual) Item (Contextual for related costs)

Mapping Notes

Concur's Invoice entity maps to the ERP's Accounts Payable module. The iPaaS enriches invoice data with Walmart Marketplace context (e.g., by tagging vendors or allocating to specific cost centers related to Walmart operations). AI assists in suggesting appropriate GL accounts and cost centers based on vendor, invoice description, and historical patterns for marketplace-related spend.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose

Transformation Logic

  • GL Account Mapping: Concur `ExpenseType` or `Invoice Line Item` mapped to ERP `GLAccountCode` (AI-assisted).
  • Cost Center Allocation: Concur `CostCenter` mapped to ERP `CostCenter`, with specific rules for 'Walmart Marketplace' designated cost centers.
  • Vendor Harmonization: Concur `VendorID` matched/created in ERP `Vendor Master`.
  • Currency Conversion: Automated currency conversion for multi-currency transactions.
  • Data Enrichment: Adding 'Walmart Marketplace' tags or custom fields to Concur entities during ERP posting for enhanced reporting.

🛡️ Error Handling

  • Concur API unavailability (handled by retries and alerts).
  • Invalid GL account mapping (flagged by AI, routed to dead-letter queue).
  • Duplicate invoice number from Concur (blocked or merged based on rules).
  • ERP system down during posting (queued and retried).

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

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

General FAQs

Why integrate SAP Concur with Walmart Marketplace?
This integration centralizes and automates the management of operational expenses and vendor invoices directly related to your Walmart Marketplace presence (e.g., advertising, packaging, 3PLs). It provides comprehensive financial visibility, ensures accurate cost allocation to your marketplace channel, streamlines invoice processing, and enables holistic profitability analysis by combining spend and sales data.

AI Capabilities FAQs

How does AI enhance Concur and Walmart Marketplace workflows?
AI plays a crucial role by automating tasks like receipt OCR, intelligently suggesting GL account and cost center mappings for marketplace-related expenses, detecting anomalies in spend patterns (potential fraud), and validating data for errors. For Walmart, AI can help categorize products or detect unusual order patterns, providing contextual intelligence that enriches your financial data in Concur.

iPaaS & Low-Code FAQs

What are the benefits of using a low-code iPaaS for this integration?
A low-code iPaaS empowers finance and operations teams to build, modify, and optimize Concur and Walmart-related workflows with minimal coding. This accelerates development, reduces dependency on IT, allows for rapid adaptation to changing business needs (e.g., new expense policies, vendor types), and lowers the total cost of ownership by simplifying maintenance and updates.

Data Flow FAQs

How does the integration handle cost allocation for Walmart-specific expenses?
The iPaaS is configured with rules (often AI-assisted) to automatically allocate Concur expenses and invoices to specific cost centers or GL accounts designated for your Walmart Marketplace operations. This can be based on vendor name, expense type, keywords in descriptions, or custom fields, providing granular insights into your channel-specific spend.

Security FAQs

Is my financial data secure during the integration process?
Absolutely. Security is paramount. The integration utilizes OAuth 2.0 for API authentication, encrypts all data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), enforces the principle of least privilege, and maintains comprehensive audit trails. Our iPaaS platform is SOC 2, ISO 27001 compliant, ensuring your sensitive financial data is protected.

Technical FAQs

Can I integrate Concur with my existing ERP system for Walmart Marketplace financials?
Yes, this integration is designed to work seamlessly with your existing ERP (e.g., SAP S/4HANA, Oracle Cloud, NetSuite). The iPaaS ensures that approved expense reports and invoices from Concur are automatically posted to your ERP's General Ledger and Accounts Payable, with contextual tags for Walmart Marketplace, streamlining your financial close process.

Performance FAQs

How do you manage API rate limits for high-volume Concur/Walmart integrations?
Our iPaaS employs advanced strategies to manage API rate limits, including intelligent batching of requests, queuing mechanisms to handle bursts, and parallel processing. We monitor API usage in real-time and implement circuit breakers and exponential backoff for retries, ensuring efficient data synchronization without overwhelming Concur or Walmart services.

Analytics FAQs

What kind of reporting and analytics can I expect?
By consolidating Concur spend data (allocated to Walmart) with Walmart Marketplace sales data in a central data warehouse, you can generate comprehensive dashboards. These include detailed profitability reports per product or category on Walmart, spend analysis for marketplace operations, and insights into cost optimization, all accessible through your preferred BI tool.
