ERP Manager is the implementer workspace for connecting a client's external ERP system to the DigiTrade storefront. It defines how data is read from the ERP, reshaped, mapped onto the platform's own models, and exposed to the storefront's API.

Who uses ERP Manager

ERP Manager is an implementer tool. Use it while onboarding or maintaining a client whose catalogue, pricing, stock, or orders live in an external ERP.

How the integration is organized

The navigation groups the work into the pieces of one integration pipeline.

  • Client settings identifies the client whose ERP connection you are configuring and includes connection details.

  • Basic queries contains the read operations that fetch data from the ERP, such as stock, prices, and orders.

  • Payload Schemas defines the shape of data that a query returns or an endpoint accepts.

  • Outbound Mappings defines how platform data is mapped back to the ERP.

  • Data Mappings provides the core link between an ERP model, a platform Api model, and the Basic query that supplies the data.

  • Service Layer Queries provides parameterised queries for cases where a basic query is not enough.

  • API Endpoints and Outbound Endpoints provide inbound and outbound surfaces for moving mapped data between the ERP and the platform.

  • Templates provides reusable building blocks shared across these integration areas.

How data mappings fit together

A data mapping is where most integration configuration happens. Each mapping records its source ERP model, its target Api model, and the Basic query that supplies the data.

After you save a mapping, it opens views for property mapping, logic rules, and previews. The Response Preview and Api Preview show the data before and after mapping. These previews let you verify an integration against real ERP responses before the storefront relies on it.

When the required fields on the create form are completed, Save becomes available.

Authority boundary

ERP Manager governs integration configuration and presents runtime evidence; it does not become the ERP or treat connectivity as business completion. The integration should translate external ERP concepts into DigiTrade's canonical meaning rather than redefine those concepts for a particular source.
