Customer 

We can help you integrate customer information between these systems. Customer account, contact information, billing, and shipping address details from OroCommerce are synchronized with SAP B1 master data. 

Product 

Together with the Firebear team, you can synchronize product information. ERP items/items families such as simple or products with variants can be integrated into OroCommerce. If you need them, existing ones can be synchronized back in SAP B1. Also, price discounts can be set from OroCommerce to SAP Business One. 

Order 

The integration allows you to synchronize a real-time stock update from SAP B1 to OroCommerce inventory. In addition, OroCommerce sales orders placed by the web customers will be immediately integrated in SAP Business One. We take into account the correct calculation of value mapping of tax and shipping charges, which makes the integration more accurate. 

Payment 

Firebear team will sync back payment method from OroCommerce to SAP Business One in sales.  Transaction ID we also help to synchronize.

Delivery 

We can also help you integrate shipping details along with tracking IDs from SAP B1 to OroCommerce. Shipping method and shipment charges from OroCommerce can be fully mapped to SAP B1.

Integration Principles 

We use several fundamentally important principles in our integrations. Their use is not limited to SAP Business One Integration with OroCommerce. 

Two-way connection

One of the basic principles of working with integrations, without which the process cannot be imagined, is the two-way communication capability. You get fully configurable import and export profiles. You can integrate with them and they are separate, which allows you to work without the need to set up both features at the same time.

Scheduler 

Furthermore, we provide a built-in scheduler that automates the process of SAP Business One Integration with OroCommerce. A variety of update timelines can be used to import and export activities that are assigned to the same subjects. Order information, for example, must be transmitted weekly from Hubspot CRM to SAP B1:

• You need to select weekly updates in the export profile menu. 
• Further, select a weekday and the exact transport time. 
• To update order data to SAP Business One before the scheduled time, you can use the asynchronous technique. 
• Go back to the import profile and make the identical modifications to get the data back. 

Mapping 

Our mapping tools make data integration between the two systems much simpler. Third-party attributes must match the native environment’s requirements and so data changes must occur based on the receiving system’s criteria. This process is extremely time-consuming if done manually. Firebear team provides you with a mapping grid which is available in every import and export profile for you to use. With them, you can create a mapping scheme to fit any requirement of the receiving systems. Also, you have the possibility to save and load mapping profiles for future use. You can also use this for SAP Business One with OroCommerce Integration. 

Other features 

Another important feature that we use for SAP Business One OroCommerce and other integrations is the support for various connection standards. We use additional data file standards including XML, CSX, XLSX, ODS, and JSON.

Additionally, we use Google Sheets for data transfer. We will synchronize data between your store and this platform using our tools. Additional data synchronization methods include Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, FTP/SFTP, and direct URL uploads.
