Proposed workflow

Sales order process handoff

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting eventA change involving BigCommerce Shipments or SAP Sales Cloud Sales Orders needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with BigCommerce Shipments and SAP Sales Cloud Sales Orders. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.

  2. Create or locate the customer and products first; resolve taxes, currency, and fulfillment references.

  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

What to verifyTest partial fulfillment, an out-of-stock line, and a repeated request that must not create a second shipment.

Customer identity

Customers / Accounts

Before linking BigCommerce Customers to SAP Sales Cloud Accounts, check whether the customer is an individual or a company. Match the correct record type in each system.

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

BigCommerce
Object support to establish
SAP Sales Cloud
Object support to establish
Record identity
Determine whether each customer represents an individual, a company, or a business-unit relationship before matching it to a contact or organization. Retain the source customer ID and destination ID; names and email alone are insufficient.
Field ownership
Separate the customer relationship from contact details, billing authority, and consent. Choose an owner for each field after identifying whether the customer is a person or company.

Fields to include

  • Source customer ID
  • Person/company classification
  • Legal entity or business unit
  • Destination identity reference
Record dependencies
Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.
Validation

Compare integration approaches

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Shipments / Sales Orders to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.

Stacksync managed sync

Best fit
Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
Operating responsibility
Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose
Check record matching: Link the order and selected line IDs to separate fulfillment IDs; allow split shipments. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.

Native vendor integration

Best fit
A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your BigCommerce and SAP Sales Cloud record types.
Operating responsibility
Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose
First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Shipments / Sales Orders, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider explicit orchestration for the Shipments / Sales Orders handoff.
Operating responsibility
Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose
Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery.

File or scheduled snapshot

Best fit
Consider for a one-time BigCommerce / SAP Sales Cloud migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility
Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose
Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.

Workflow scenarios and expected results

Sales order process handoff

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Shipments or Sales Orders record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with BigCommerce Shipments and SAP Sales Cloud Sales Orders. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Create or locate the customer and products first; resolve taxes, currency, and fulfillment references.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test partial fulfillment, an out-of-stock line, and a repeated request that must not create a second shipment.

If it fails: Check for an existing destination order before retrying a timed-out create; reconcile line IDs to avoid duplicate fulfillment.

Sales order sync test

Starting event: A change to the selected Orders or Sales Orders record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with BigCommerce Orders and SAP Sales Cloud Sales Orders. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Create or locate the customer and products first; resolve taxes, currency, and fulfillment references.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test a multi-line order, a partial cancellation, and two partial shipments. Compare line totals as well as the header.

If it fails: Check for an existing destination order before retrying a timed-out create; reconcile line IDs to avoid duplicate fulfillment.

Product or catalog item sync test

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Products or Products record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with BigCommerce Products and SAP Sales Cloud Products. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve units, variants, categories, and applicable price lists before order lines.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test two variants of one product, a changed SKU, and a price that applies to only one market or currency.

If it fails: Repair the variant or price-list reference before retrying affected order lines; preserve existing transaction prices.

Coordinate BigCommerce commerce data with SAP Sales Cloud

This is an evaluation scenario; connector and operation support require confirmation.

Starting event: A catalog, order, or fulfillment change in BigCommerce matters to Accounts or Contacts.

  1. Choose the commerce entity from Products or Variants and SKUs; separate products, variants, orders, and fulfillments.
  2. Preserve order and line references through the SAP Sales Cloud process. Define many-to-one or one-to-many relationships explicitly.
  3. Assign separate ownership for commercial approval, inventory, and fulfillment, including partial cancellations or returns.

Expected result: A split fulfillment and repeated request preserve line quantities without duplicate orders or shipments.

If it fails: Look up existing downstream records before retrying creation; reconcile current order and fulfillment states.

Initial load and acceptance testing

Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.

Shipments / Sales Orders

Test case

Test partial fulfillment, an out-of-stock line, and a repeated request that must not create a second shipment.

Expected result

The expected sales order relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Orders / Sales Orders

Test case

Test a multi-line order, a partial cancellation, and two partial shipments. Compare line totals as well as the header.

Expected result

The expected sales order relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Products / Products

Test case

Test two variants of one product, a changed SKU, and a price that applies to only one market or currency.

Expected result

The expected product or catalog item relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Customers / Accounts

Test case

Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.

Expected result

The expected customer relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Direction and permissions

Test case

Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.

Expected result

Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.

Freshness and reconciliation

Test case

Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.

Expected result

The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.

Failed updates, retries and recovery

Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.

Rejected or repeated sales order change

Investigate

Inspect BigCommerce Shipments and SAP Sales Cloud Sales Orders, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Check for an existing destination order before retrying a timed-out create; reconcile line IDs to avoid duplicate fulfillment.

Rejected or repeated sales order change

Investigate

Inspect BigCommerce Orders and SAP Sales Cloud Sales Orders, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Check for an existing destination order before retrying a timed-out create; reconcile line IDs to avoid duplicate fulfillment.

Rejected or repeated product or catalog item change

Investigate

Inspect BigCommerce Products and SAP Sales Cloud Products, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Repair the variant or price-list reference before retrying affected order lines; preserve existing transaction prices.

A record type or update is unavailable

Investigate

Check the BigCommerce and SAP Sales Cloud connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.

Next action

Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.

Source and destination disagree after a retry

Investigate

Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.

Next action

Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.

Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.
