The Challenge

The Disconnect Between Payments and Core Accounting

In today's fast-paced digital economy, businesses struggle with fragmented financial operations when their payment gateway (BridgePay) operates in isolation from their core ERP system (SAP ECC). This disconnect leads to significant inefficiencies, compliance risks, and delayed financial insights.

  • Manual data entry for payment transactions into SAP ECC, leading to errors and delays.
  • Slow and labor-intensive payment reconciliation processes, hindering month-end close.
  • Lack of real-time visibility into cash flow and order status across systems.
  • Challenges in maintaining PCI DSS compliance when handling sensitive payment data.
  • Inconsistent customer and order data between sales channels, payment systems, and ERP.
  • Inefficient refund and chargeback management impacting customer satisfaction and financial accuracy.

SAP ECC and BridgePay: Technical Integration Details

Our iPaaS provides a robust, secure, and scalable framework for integrating SAP ECC and BridgePay. It handles the complexities of diverse APIs, data formats, and business logic, ensuring seamless financial operations.

Data Flow Steps

**Connectors Setup**: Establish secure connections to SAP ECC (via RFC/BAPI, OData, IDoc) and BridgePay (via REST APIs, Webhooks) using pre-built iPaaS connectors.

**Workflow Design**: Visually design integration flows (e.g., 'Payment to Sales Order', 'Settlement Reconciliation') using a drag-and-drop interface.

**Data Mapping & Transformation**: Define precise mapping rules between BridgePay's transaction entities and SAP ECC's complex data structures (e.g., `Payment.amount` to `VBAP-NETWR`, `Transaction.referenceId` to `VBRK-XBLNR`). Apply transformations for currency conversion, data formatting, and business logic.

**Event & Trigger Configuration**: Set up BridgePay webhooks (e.g., `transaction.success`, `refund.created`) to trigger real-time iPaaS workflows. Configure scheduled jobs for batch operations like daily settlement report retrieval.

**Validation & Error Handling**: Implement pre-posting validation rules for SAP ECC, and configure robust error handling with retry mechanisms, alerts, and dead-letter queues.

**Deployment & Monitoring**: Deploy flows to production via automated pipelines, and monitor performance, transaction volumes, and error rates from a centralized dashboard.

Data Touchpoints

BridgePay: Payment, Transaction, Refund, Customer, Settlement Batch, Fraud Event.
SAP ECC: Sales Order (VBAK/VBAP), Customer Master (KNA1/KNB1), Invoice (VBRK/VBRP), Financial Document (BKPF/BSEG), Material Master (MARA/MARC/MARD), Pricing Conditions (KONV/KONP).

"BridgePay (Payment Event/Webhook) --> iPaaS (Secure Connector, Data Mapping, Transformation, Validation) --> SAP ECC (BAPI/OData/IDoc Call, Sales Order/Invoice/Financial Document Creation/Update). Reverse flow for updates from SAP ECC (e.g., order status) --> iPaaS --> BridgePay (if applicable) or other systems. Scheduled flow: BridgePay (Settlement Reports) --> iPaaS --> SAP ECC (Financial Document for Reconciliation)."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping for SAP ECC and BridgePay

Understanding the core data entities and their precise mapping is crucial for a successful integration. Our iPaaS provides visual tools and AI assistance to simplify this complex process, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

Sales Order / Order

Represents a customer's request for goods/services (SAP ECC) and the originating transaction from the sales channel (BridgePay context).

SAP ECC Fields

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

BridgePay Fields

orderId customerId totalAmount currency status lineItems (productId, quantity, unitPrice) paymentTransactionId

Mapping Notes

BridgePay's `orderId` often maps to a custom field in SAP ECC's `Sales Order` (e.g., external reference). BridgePay `lineItems` need to be mapped to `VBAP` (Sales Order Item) using `productId` to `MATNR`. `totalAmount` maps to `VBAK-NETWR`.
