Technical Integration Details: How Znode and Infor Connect

Our iPaaS-driven integration solution orchestrates the secure and efficient flow of data between Znode's modern API-first architecture and your Infor ERP system, ensuring robust connectivity and data integrity.

Data Flow Steps

Connect & Authenticate: Establish secure connections to Znode (OAuth 2.0) and Infor (OAuth 2.0/API Keys) using dedicated service accounts with least privilege.

Event Listener/Polling: Configure iPaaS to listen for Znode webhooks (e.g., new order, customer update) or initiate scheduled polls for Infor changes (e.g., inventory updates where webhooks are not available).

Data Extraction: Extract relevant data entities from the source system (e.g., Znode Order details, Infor Product updates).

Data Transformation & Harmonization: Map source data fields to target system fields, apply business logic, data cleansing, and enrichment using the iPaaS's visual transformation engine.

Data Validation: Validate transformed data against target system rules and schemas to prevent errors.

Data Loading: Utilize target system APIs (e.g., Infor Sales Order API, Znode Inventory API) to create or update records.

Error Handling & Notification: Implement robust error handling, retry mechanisms, and alerting for any failed transactions.

Status Updates: Push status changes back to the source system (e.g., Infor order status to Znode).

Data Touchpoints

Znode Order <-> Infor Sales Order
Znode Product <-> Infor Product
Znode Customer <-> Infor Customer
Znode Inventory <-> Infor Inventory Item
Znode Price List <-> Infor Product Pricing
Znode Shipment <-> Infor Sales Order/Shipment details
Znode Payment Transaction <-> Infor Payment Transaction/Invoice
Znode Category <-> Infor Product Category (or PIM)
Znode Return (RMA) <-> Infor Return Order/Credit Memo

"The integration architecture typically follows a hub-and-spoke model, with the iPaaS as the central hub. Znode, leveraging its robust APIs and webhooks, initiates events (e.g., a new order). The iPaaS captures these events, transforms the Znode data into Infor's canonical format, and then pushes it to the appropriate Infor API endpoint (e.g., creating a Sales Order). Conversely, Infor (or its connected WMS) publishes inventory updates, which the iPaaS consumes, transforms, and updates in Znode via its API. This bi-directional flow ensures both systems remain synchronized."

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Field-Level Mapping between Znode and Infor

Understanding the core data entities and their precise field-level mapping is crucial for a successful Znode-Infor integration. Our iPaaS provides a visual canvas to define these relationships, supported by AI to streamline the process.

Order (Znode) <=> Sales Order (Infor)

Represents a customer's purchase in Znode and its corresponding sales order in Infor, initiating fulfillment and financial processes.

Znode Fields

OrderId OrderNumber OrderStatus OrderDate CustomerId TotalAmount ShippingAddress BillingAddress PaymentStatus LineItems (SKU, Quantity, Price)

Infor Fields

OrderID CustomerID OrderDate LineItems (ProductID, Quantity, UnitPrice) TotalAmount OrderStatus ShippingMethod PaymentStatus InvoiceID

Mapping Notes

Znode's `OrderNumber` typically maps to Infor's `OrderID`. Order statuses require careful mapping (e.g., Znode 'Processing' to Infor 'Open', Znode 'Shipped' to Infor 'Fulfilled'). Line item SKUs must match Infor ProductIDs. Shipping and billing addresses require multi-field mapping.
