Technical Integration Details: Connecting SAP ECC and Amazon Marketplace

Our integration solution provides a robust and secure bridge between SAP ECC's powerful backend and Amazon's dynamic marketplace. Leveraging a modern iPaaS, we orchestrate complex data flows, ensuring real-time synchronization and operational efficiency through proven API connectivity and event-driven architecture.

Data Flow Steps

Secure Connection Establishment: Utilize iPaaS connectors to securely authenticate with SAP ECC (via SAP NetWeaver Gateway OData, RFC/BAPI, or IDoc) and Amazon SP-API (OAuth 2.0).

Event Listener Configuration: Set up iPaaS listeners for Amazon SP-API webhooks (e.g., new order notifications) and SAP ECC Change Pointers or custom ABAP events (e.g., inventory changes).

Data Extraction: Extract relevant data from the source system (e.g., Amazon Order, SAP ECC Material Master) using appropriate API calls or data exports.

Data Transformation & Mapping: Apply low-code/no-code transformation rules and AI-assisted mapping to convert source data into the target system's required schema, handling data types, formats, and business logic.

Data Validation: Implement pre-posting validation rules within the iPaaS to ensure data integrity and compliance before sending to SAP ECC or Amazon.

Data Ingestion: Inject transformed and validated data into the target system using optimized API calls (e.g., SAP BAPIs, Amazon PUT /listings/items).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Centralized logging, retry mechanisms, and alerts for any integration failures, with AI-assisted resolution for common issues.

Status Updates: Push back status updates (e.g., shipment tracking from SAP ECC to Amazon) to complete the workflow loop.

Data Touchpoints

Amazon to SAP ECC: Orders (Order, OrderItem, Customer), Returns (Refund), Financial Settlements (Payment Settlement Report).
SAP ECC to Amazon: Inventory (Material Master: MARD-LABST), Product Catalog (Material Master: MARA/MVKE, Pricing Conditions: KONV), Shipment Status (Shipment).

"A visual representation of data flow starts with Amazon Marketplace triggering events for new orders. These events are captured by the iPaaS, which then transforms and maps the data to create Sales Orders in SAP ECC. Simultaneously, SAP ECC inventory updates trigger events that the iPaaS captures, transforms, and pushes to Amazon Marketplace. Financial settlement reports flow from Amazon via the iPaaS to SAP ECC for reconciliation. All flows are monitored and managed centrally by the iPaaS."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping for SAP ECC <> Amazon Marketplace

Seamless data flow relies on precise mapping and transformation of core business entities. Our iPaaS provides a visual, AI-assisted canvas to connect Amazon's marketplace entities with SAP ECC's robust data structures, ensuring accuracy and consistency.

Sales Order / Order

Represents a customer's purchase. Amazon's 'Order' becomes SAP ECC's 'Sales Order'.

SAP ECC & Amazon Marketplace: Fields

VBAK-VBELN (Sales Document Number) VBAK-AUART (Sales Document Type) VBAK-VKORG (Sales Organization) VBAK-VTWEG (Distribution Channel) VBAK-SPART (Division) VBAP-MATNR (Material Number) VBAP-KWMENG (Order Quantity) VBAP-NETWR (Net Value) VBAK-KUNNR (Sold-to Customer)

Sync Orders, Inventory & Finance Fields

amazonOrderId purchaseDate orderStatus fulfillmentChannel sellerOrderId shippingAddress (name, address, city, state, country, postalCode) orderTotal paymentMethod OrderItem (asin, sku, title, quantityOrdered, itemPrice, shippingPrice, promotionDiscount)

Mapping Notes

Map `amazonOrderId` to an external reference field in SAP ECC (e.g., VBAK-BSTKD_E). `sellerOrderId` can be used for internal tracking. `shippingAddress` fields map to SAP ECC customer address fields (KNA1-STRAS, KNA1-ORT01). Amazon `OrderItem.sku` is critical for matching to SAP ECC `VBAP-MATNR` (Material Number). Complex logic needed for `orderTotal` to account for various Amazon fees and promotions before posting to SAP ECC `VBAK-NETWR`.
