The Challenge

The Challenge of Disconnected SAP & Epicor Kinetic Systems

Operating SAP and Epicor Kinetic in silos creates a fragmented enterprise landscape. Manual data transfers, delayed information, and inconsistent records lead to significant operational bottlenecks, financial inaccuracies, and missed business opportunities.

  • Manual data entry causing errors and delays between systems
  • Lack of real-time visibility into inventory, orders, and financial health
  • Inconsistent customer and product master data across sales and operations
  • Inefficient procure-to-pay and order-to-cash cycles due to broken processes
  • Difficulty in generating accurate, consolidated financial reports
  • High operational costs associated with redundant tasks and reconciliation

Technical Integration Details: SAP & Epicor Kinetic

Our iPaaS provides a robust, secure, and scalable framework for integrating SAP and Epicor Kinetic. We leverage the most appropriate API strategies for each system, ensuring optimal performance and data integrity.

Data Flow Steps

Connectivity & Authentication: Establish secure connections to SAP (via SAP Cloud Connector for on-premise ECC/S/4HANA, or direct OData/REST for S/4HANA Cloud) and Epicor Kinetic (via OAuth 2.0 for RESTful APIs).

Event Detection & Triggers: Configure event listeners for SAP (e.g., SAP Event Mesh for 'Sales Order Created', 'Material Changed') and Epicor Kinetic (webhooks for 'Sales Order Created', 'Part Updated'). For systems without native events, scheduled polling is used.

Data Extraction: Extract relevant data from the source system using optimized API calls (e.g., SAP OData queries, Epicor Kinetic BAQs or specific BO services).

Data Transformation & Harmonization: Utilize the iPaaS's visual mapping and transformation engine to convert data between the source and target schemas. Apply business rules, lookup values, and data enrichment.

Data Validation: Implement AI-driven and rule-based validation checks to ensure data quality and compliance before transmission to the target system.

Data Loading: Post the transformed and validated data to the target system via its respective APIs (e.g., SAP OData POST/PATCH, Epicor Kinetic REST POST/PATCH).

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement comprehensive error logging, automated retries with exponential backoff, and alerts for critical failures. Centralized dashboards provide real-time monitoring of all integration flows.

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Intelligent Mapping for SAP & Epicor Kinetic

Our iPaaS simplifies the complex task of mapping critical business entities between SAP and Epicor Kinetic. Leveraging AI-assisted tools, we ensure accurate, consistent, and validated data flow for every integration point.

Customer / Business Partner

Synchronize customer and business partner records to ensure a unified customer view across sales, finance, and operations.

SAP Fields

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

Epicor Kinetic Fields

CustNum (PK) CustID (Unique ID) Name Address (Address1, City, State, Zip, Country) ContactName PhoneNum EmailAddress CreditLimit

Mapping Notes

Key challenge: SAP Business Partner's unified model vs. Epicor's Customer. Requires careful mapping of roles (e.g., Sold-To, Ship-To) and address formats. Ensure consistent unique identifiers for bidirectional updates. AI can assist in deduplication and matching based on name/address.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about integration implementation, security, and best practices.

General Integration FAQs

▸ What is the best way to integrate SAP (S/4HANA or ECC) with Epicor Kinetic?
The recommended approach is to use a modern iPaaS platform that offers pre-built connectors for both SAP and Epicor Kinetic. This enables API-first, event-driven synchronization for real-time data flow, robust data transformation, and centralized monitoring, overcoming the complexities of integrating diverse ERP systems.

Technical Compatibility FAQs

▸ Can I integrate SAP ECC with Epicor Kinetic using your iPaaS?
Absolutely. While SAP ECC has older interfaces like BAPIs, RFCs, and IDocs, our iPaaS can seamlessly connect to these using specialized connectors and the SAP Cloud Connector. This allows you to modernize your ECC landscape by integrating it with cloud-native applications like Epicor Kinetic without a full S/4HANA migration.

AI Capabilities FAQs

▸ How does AI enhance SAP & Epicor Kinetic integrations?
AI augments integrations by enhancing data quality (e.g., AI-driven deduplication, validation), automating complex mapping decisions, detecting anomalies in transactions (e.g., unusual order values), and intelligently handling exceptions. It can also power intelligent document processing for vendor invoices before posting to Epicor Kinetic AP or SAP FI.

Data Synchronization FAQs

▸ What are the common entities synchronized between SAP and Epicor Kinetic?
Commonly synchronized entities include Customer/Business Partner master data, Product/Material master data, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, AR/AP Invoices, Payments, and General Ledger accounts. These are critical for end-to-end process automation and maintaining a single source of truth.

Data Management FAQs

▸ How do you handle data consistency and conflicts in bidirectional sync?
Our iPaaS implements robust data harmonization rules and configurable conflict resolution strategies. For bidirectional sync, you can define rules like 'last-write-wins', 'source-wins' for specific fields, or custom logic to merge data or flag conflicts for manual review. AI can also assist in identifying and suggesting resolutions for complex data conflicts.

Security & Compliance FAQs

▸ What security measures are in place for SAP and Epicor Kinetic data during integration?
We adhere to a 'zero-trust' security model, utilizing OAuth 2.0 for authentication, TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data in transit, and data encryption at rest within the iPaaS. Secure vault services manage credentials, and granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) ensures least privilege access. We are compliant with major standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and CCPA.

Low-Code/No-Code FAQs

▸ Can I build and customize integration workflows without coding?
Yes, our iPaaS features a visual, drag-and-drop low-code/no-code interface. This empowers business users and citizen developers to design, build, and customize complex integration workflows, data mappings, and business rules for SAP and Epicor Kinetic without requiring extensive coding knowledge, accelerating your time to value.

Performance FAQs

▸ How does your solution manage SAP and Epicor Kinetic API rate limits and performance?
Our iPaaS is designed with intelligent queuing, batching multiple records into single API calls, and implementing exponential backoff for retries to respect API rate limits. We also leverage caching for static data and prioritize event-driven architectures to minimize unnecessary API calls, ensuring optimal performance and system stability for both SAP and Epicor Kinetic.
