Technical Deep Dive: Connecting SAP and Epicor E10

Our iPaaS solution provides a sophisticated yet intuitive platform for building robust integrations between SAP and Epicor E10. It leverages the best of both systems' API capabilities, ensuring secure, high-performance, and scalable data exchange, facilitating end-to-end workflow automation and data harmonization.

Data Flow Steps

Connection Setup: Securely configure connectors for SAP (S/4HANA OData, ECC BAPI/RFC via Cloud Connector) and Epicor E10 (RESTful APIs).

Event/Trigger Configuration: Define event triggers in Epicor E10 (BPMs, webhooks) and SAP (Event Mesh, change pointers) to initiate data flows.

Data Mapping & Transformation: Utilize the visual designer to map fields, apply complex business logic, perform data cleansing, and enrich data between systems.

Validation & Error Handling: Implement pre-posting validation rules and robust error handling with automated retries and dead-letter queues.

Workflow Orchestration: Design multi-step workflows for complex processes like Order-to-Cash, ensuring correct sequencing and conditional logic.

Deployment & Monitoring: Deploy integrations to production with version control and continuously monitor performance and data flow via centralized dashboards.

Data Touchpoints

SAP: Business Partner (Customer/Vendor), Material/Product, Sales Order, Purchase Order, Invoice (Customer/Vendor), Payment, General Ledger Account, Plant, Storage Location, Cost Center.
Epicor E10: Customer, Vendor, Part/Product, Sales Order, Purchase Order, Inventory (PartQty), AP Invoice, Shipment, GL Account, Job (Production).

"The iPaaS acts as the central orchestrator. Epicor E10 operational events (e.g., Sales Order created, Inventory updated, AP Invoice posted) trigger real-time data pushes to the iPaaS via webhooks or BPMs. For SAP, S/4HANA OData APIs and BTP Event Mesh provide modern interfaces, while SAP Cloud Connector secures access to on-premise ECC BAPIs/RFCs. The iPaaS ingests, transforms, validates, and routes data to the respective target system's APIs. Master data flows bi-directionally, ensuring a unified view, while transactional data often flows uni-directionally from Epicor's operational processes to SAP's financial and core ERP functions, or vice versa for specific scenarios."

Data Mapping

Harmonizing Core Business Entities: SAP & Epicor E10 Data Mapping

The integration meticulously maps and transforms critical business entities between SAP and Epicor E10, ensuring data integrity and consistency across all connected processes. Our iPaaS provides visual tools and AI assistance to manage these complex mappings.

Customer / Business Partner

Represents customers and other business relationships. In SAP S/4HANA, it's unified as Business Partner (BP) with different roles; in ECC, it's typically separate Customer master data. In Epicor E10, it's the Customer entity.

SAP Fields

BusinessPartnerID (S/4HANA) / CustomerID (ECC) Name SearchTerm Address (Street, City, PostCode, Country) EmailAddress PhoneNumber CustomerGroup SalesOrganizationData CompanyCodeData PaymentTerms

Epicor E10 Fields

CustNum (Epicor Internal ID) CustID (External/User-defined ID) Name Address1, Address2, Address3 City State Zip Country PhoneNum EmailAddress TermsCode SalespersonCode

Mapping Notes

SAP S/4HANA uses unified Business Partner with roles (Customer, Vendor, Contact); ECC uses separate Customer master. Epicor E10's `CustID` can often map to an external ID in SAP. Address formats, tax IDs, and payment terms (`TermsCode` in Epicor, `PaymentTerms` in SAP) require careful standardization and lookup against master data. Multiple ship-to addresses in Epicor need to be handled, potentially as separate addresses or contact persons in SAP BP.
