How ERP Integration Actually Works

Every integration on this page comes down to the same question: how does an order get into your system of record without a person typing it? There are four answers, and which one applies is decided by your ERP rather than by preference.

MethodTypical ofWhat it means in practice
REST APINetSuite, Acumatica, Shopify, WooCommerce, Xero, Cin7Orders post directly, with immediate success or failure. The cleanest option when it exists.
IDoc or interface tablesSAP, Oracle EBS, JD EdwardsYou write into a staging structure and a scheduled job picks it up. Errors surface later, not at submit time.
File dropSage 100, SYSPRO, Epicor, older DynamicsA CSV or fixed-width file lands in a watched folder. Simple, and the reconciliation is on you.
Desktop connectorQuickBooks Desktop, Sage 50A local agent bridges to a file-based company database. Works, but the machine has to be on.

The method matters more than the brand. A cloud ERP with a real API can be live in days; an on-premise system reached by file drop needs agreement on the file format, the folder, the schedule, and what happens when a line fails validation. Pick the integration page for your system to see which applies and what it needs.

Cloud ERP and Accounting

NetSuite and Acumatica both expose full order APIs, so orders post with validation against your item and customer master in real time. Sage Intacct is strong on the financial side and usually pairs with a separate order layer. QuickBooks Online and Xero handle the accounting but have no native EDI, which is the single most common reason a growing distributor outgrows them. Their desktop relatives, QuickBooks Desktop and Sage 50, need a local connector instead.

Enterprise ERP

SAP takes orders as ORDERS05 IDocs, where the header sits in E1EDK01 and each line in E1EDP01, and most real implementations carry customer Z-extensions that no generic mapping anticipates. SAP Business One is a different product with a different interface. Oracle and JD Edwards use EDI interface tables that a batch job promotes into live orders, so a malformed line fails hours after submission rather than at the point of entry. Infor and Epicor vary by module and version more than by brand.

Microsoft Dynamics

Three generations are still in production and they are not interchangeable. Dynamics 365 (including Business Central) is API-first. Dynamics NAV and Dynamics GP are on-premise and typically integrate by web service or file drop. Naming causes real confusion here: NAV became Business Central, so a partner asking about "Dynamics" could mean any of them, and the integration work differs substantially.

Distribution, Manufacturing, and Inventory

Sage 100, Sage X3, and SYSPRO are common in mid-market distribution and usually integrate by file. Odoo is open source with a well-documented API. Fishbowl, Zoho Inventory, DEAR Systems, and Cin7 Omni sit alongside an accounting package and own stock and orders, which makes them the write target rather than the ledger. On the storefront side, Shopify and WooCommerce are frequently the system of record for B2B wholesale orders too.

What If My ERP Is Not Listed?

It is still very likely workable. Almost every ERP can import orders by file, and a file drop needs no cooperation from the vendor and no API licence. The ERP Integration Checker will tell you which method applies to yours.

You can also start without touching the ERP at all. Orders can be read, validated against your catalogue and pricing, and reviewed before anyone writes a line into the system of record, which is often the fastest way to remove the manual keying while an integration is still being scoped. See ERP integration for the wider picture.
