SAP ECC & Vantiv: Technical Integration Overview

This integration leverages a robust iPaaS as the central orchestration layer, connecting SAP ECC's core business processes with Vantiv's powerful payment capabilities. It ensures secure, reliable, and scalable data exchange, facilitating real-time financial accuracy and operational efficiency.

Data Flow Steps

**Connectivity & Authentication:** Establish secure connections using SAP ECC BAPIs/RFCs (via SAProuter/VPN) or OData services (via SAP Gateway) and Vantiv's REST APIs (with API keys/secrets).

**Event Triggering:** Configure SAP ECC Change Pointers, custom ABAP events, or OData webhooks to trigger integration flows for new orders, invoices, or refunds. Vantiv webhooks notify the iPaaS of transaction status changes, settlements, or fraud events.

**Data Extraction:** Extract relevant data from SAP ECC (e.g., Sales Order (VBAK/VBAP), Customer Master (KNA1), Invoice (VBRK)) and Vantiv (e.g., Transaction, SettlementBatch, PaymentMethod).

**Transformation & Mapping:** Utilize the iPaaS's visual mapping canvas to transform and harmonize data structures between systems (e.g., map SAP ECC `NETWR` to Vantiv `amount`, SAP ECC `VBELN` to Vantiv `merchantTransactionId`).

**Business Logic & Validation:** Apply predefined business rules and AI-driven validation within the iPaaS to ensure data integrity before posting to either system (e.g., check for sufficient funds, validate GL accounts).

**Data Ingestion:** Ingest processed data into the target system using appropriate APIs or methods. For SAP ECC, this involves BAPIs like `BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2` or `BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST`. For Vantiv, it includes `/payments/capture`, `/payments/refund`, or `/tokens`.

**Error Handling & Monitoring:** Implement comprehensive error handling with retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerts. Monitor integration dashboards for transaction volumes, performance, and error rates.

Data Touchpoints

SAP ECC: Sales Order (VBAK/VBAP), Customer Master (KNA1/KNB1), Invoice (VBRK/VBRP), Financial Document (BKPF/BSEG), Material Master (MARA/MARC/MARD)
Vantiv: Transaction, PaymentMethod, Customer, Order, SettlementBatch, Refund, FraudEvent

"An event-driven iPaaS sits between SAP ECC and Vantiv. SAP ECC (e.g., Sales Order creation, Invoice posting) or external systems (e.g., eCommerce) initiate events. The iPaaS captures these, transforms data, interacts with Vantiv for payment processing (authorization, capture, refund, tokenization) and receives Vantiv webhooks for status updates and settlement reports. The iPaaS then orchestrates updates back into SAP ECC (e.g., Financial Document posting, Sales Order status updates) ensuring real-time synchronization and reconciliation. AI components are embedded for intelligent mapping, validation, and anomaly detection."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Data Mapping: SAP ECC & Vantiv

The integration focuses on harmonizing critical business entities between SAP ECC and Vantiv. Below are core entities and their cross-system mapping considerations, facilitated by intelligent iPaaS capabilities.

Sales Order / Order

Represents a customer's commercial request for goods/services. In SAP ECC, it's the `Sales Order (VBAK/VBAP)`. In Vantiv, it's typically referenced as `Order` or `merchantTransactionId` within a `Transaction`.

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)

Vantiv Fields

orderId orderTotal currency items shippingInfo billingInfo customerInfo paymentTransactionId merchantTransactionId

Mapping Notes

SAP ECC `VBAK-VBELN` is often mapped to Vantiv `merchantTransactionId` for easy cross-referencing. `VBAP-NETWR` (net value) maps to Vantiv `orderTotal` or `amount`. Item-level details (`VBAP-MATNR`, `VBAP-KWMENG`) from SAP ECC need to be aggregated or transformed into Vantiv's `items` array structure for detailed transaction reporting.

Technical Documentation

API Endpoints & Data Logic

Technical details for developers and architects.

Method Endpoint Purpose
POST /sap/opu/odata/sap/SD_SALESDOCUMENT_SRV/SalesOrderCollection Create new sales orders from external systems (e.g., eCommerce) using OData services via SAP Gateway. Ideal for modern, RESTful integrations.
RFC BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 Programmatically create sales orders in SAP ECC, widely used for robust, high-volume order ingestion from external systems.
RFC BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST Post financial accounting documents directly to the General Ledger, used for automated payment reconciliation and journal entries from Vantiv settlements.
RFC BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 Create new customer master data records in SAP ECC from external CRM or eCommerce systems, often in conjunction with initial Vantiv payment tokenization.

⚡ Transformation Logic

  • **Currency Conversion:** Automatically convert amounts between different currencies if Vantiv or SAP ECC operate in multiple regions.
  • **Data Normalization:** Standardize address formats, date formats, and product identifiers across systems.
  • **Aggregation:** Aggregate individual Vantiv transactions within a settlement batch to create summarized journal entries for SAP ECC GL.
  • **Conditional Mapping:** Apply different mapping rules based on transaction type (e.g., 'sale', 'refund') or payment method.
  • **Lookup Tables:** Use cached lookup tables in iPaaS for mapping Vantiv error codes to SAP ECC status messages, or Vantiv product IDs to SAP ECC Material Numbers.
  • **Field Concatenation/Splitting:** Combine multiple SAP ECC fields into a single Vantiv field or vice-versa (e.g., SAP ECC first name + last name to Vantiv full name).

🛡️ Error Handling

  • **Vantiv Payment Decline:** iPaaS logs the decline reason, updates order status in eCommerce/SAP ECC, and notifies customer.
  • **SAP ECC BAPI Failure:** iPaaS logs SAP ECC return messages, triggers retry for transient errors, or routes to dead-letter queue for business errors.
  • **Data Mismatch:** During reconciliation, if Vantiv settlement amount doesn't match expected SAP ECC postings, an alert is triggered for manual investigation.
  • **Network Timeout:** iPaaS initiates exponential backoff retry for the API call.
  • **Duplicate Transaction:** Vantiv idempotency keys prevent duplicate processing, and iPaaS logs the attempt.
