Technical Integration Overview: AspDotNetStoreFront and SAP ECC

This integration leverages a modern iPaaS to create a robust, secure, and scalable data conduit between AspDotNetStoreFront's eCommerce capabilities and SAP ECC's core ERP functions. It focuses on API-first, event-driven communication to ensure real-time data consistency and automated workflow execution.

Data Flow Steps

**Connectivity Setup:** Configure secure connections using dedicated service accounts for both SAP ECC (RFC/BAPI, OData) and AspDotNetStoreFront (API Key/OAuth). Implement network-level security (VPN, SAProuter) for on-premise SAP ECC.

**Event Listener Configuration:** Set up webhooks in AspDotNetStoreFront for events like 'New Order', 'Customer Update', 'Product Update'. For SAP ECC, utilize Change Pointers, custom ABAP events, or scheduled polling of relevant tables/reports.

**Data Extraction & Ingestion:** The iPaaS listens for events or initiates pulls, extracting raw data from the source system. For SAP ECC, this involves calling BAPIs/RFCs or querying OData services/IDocs. For AspDotNetStoreFront, it's typically API calls to `/api/v2` endpoints.

**Data Transformation & Harmonization:** Within the iPaaS, raw data undergoes cleansing, enrichment, and transformation to match the target system's schema and business rules. This includes data type conversions, value mapping (e.g., status codes, units of measure), and conditional logic.

**Validation & Deduplication:** Implement pre-processing validation rules to ensure data quality. For entities like Customer Master, AI-driven deduplication logic identifies and merges duplicate records before creation in SAP ECC.

**Target System API Call:** The transformed and validated data is then pushed to the target system via its respective APIs. For SAP ECC, this could be BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 or BAPI_MATERIAL_AVAILABILITY. For AspDotNetStoreFront, it's `POST` or `PUT` calls to `/api/v2/orders`, `/api/v2/inventory`, etc.

**Error Handling & Monitoring:** Implement robust error handling (retries, dead-letter queues), logging, and alerting. Monitor integration dashboards for performance metrics, transaction volumes, and error rates to ensure continuous operation.

Data Touchpoints

**AspDotNetStoreFront:** Order, Product, Customer, Inventory, Payment, Shipment, Return
**SAP ECC:** Sales Order (VBAK/VBAP), Customer Master (KNA1/KNB1), Material Master (MARA/MARC/MARD), Invoice (VBRK/VBRP), Financial Document (BKPF/BSEG), Goods Movement (MKPF/MSEG), Pricing Conditions (KONV/KONP)

"AspDotNetStoreFront (Event/Webhook) → iPaaS (Data Extraction, Transformation, Validation, AI-Assisted Mapping) → SAP ECC (API/BAPI/IDoc Call) → SAP ECC (Processing, Data Update) → iPaaS (Status Update) → AspDotNetStoreFront (API Update/Notification). Bi-directional flows follow a similar pattern."

Data Mapping

Critical Data Entities & Field Mappings

Successful integration hinges on precise mapping and transformation of key business entities. This section highlights the core entities exchanged between AspDotNetStoreFront and SAP ECC, detailing their primary fields, mapping considerations, and how an iPaaS facilitates this complex process.

Order / Sales Order

Represents a customer's purchase in AspDotNetStoreFront and its corresponding Sales Order in SAP ECC, initiating the order-to-cash process.

SAP ECC Fields

OrderID (unique identifier) OrderNumber (display number) CustomerID OrderDate OrderStatus Total (order value) BillingAddress (FirstName, LastName, Street, City, State, Zip, Country) ShippingAddress (FirstName, LastName, Street, City, State, Zip, Country) PaymentMethod OrderLineItems (ProductID, SKU, Name, Quantity, Price, Total) ShippingMethod TrackingNumber

AspDotNetStoreFront Fields

VBAK-VBELN (Sales Document Number) VBAK-AUART (Sales Document Type, e.g., 'OR') VBAK-KUNNR (Sold-to Customer Number) VBAK-BSTNK (Purchase Order Number from Customer - can map OrderNumber) VBAK-VKORG (Sales Organization) VBAK-VTWEG (Distribution Channel) VBAK-SPART (Division) VBAP-MATNR (Material Number) VBAP-KWMENG (Order Quantity) VBAP-NETWR (Net Value of item) VBAP-WERKS (Plant) VBAP-LGORT (Storage Location) KNA1-KUNNR (Ship-to/Bill-to Customer Number via address mapping) Pricing Conditions (PR00, K004, MWST for tax)

Mapping Notes

AspDotNetStoreFront OrderLineItems need to map to SAP ECC VBAP (Sales Order Item). AspDotNetStoreFront ProductID/SKU maps to SAP ECC MATNR. Customer IDs and addresses require careful handling, often involving a lookup or creation of KUNNR in SAP ECC. Order status updates are crucial for bi-directional visibility.
