Synchronize External Application Data with the Coupa Procurement Adapter

The Coupa Procurement Adapter provides seamless synchronization of application data received from external systems to appear in Coupa, ensuring a consistent data mapping and workflow integration.

This use case provides an overview of capturing events with REST-based integrations and subsequently reflecting the same information in Coupa.

The following adapters and their operations are used in this use case:

• REST Adapter trigger connection: Captures incoming application data from external applications and triggers the integration.
• Coupa Procurement Adapter invoke connection: Synchronizes the application data into Coupa across supported modules such as purchase orders, requisitions, and budget lines.

This implementation pattern provides an overview of the steps.

1. Create a REST Adapter trigger connection and Coupa Procurement Adapter invoke connection.
2. Create an application integration.
3. Drag a REST Adapter into the integration as a trigger connection.
   1. On the Basic Info page, provide an endpoint name.
   2. Select the required trigger details to capture incoming REST application data from external systems.
   3. Review and confirm your selections on the Summary page.
4. Drag the Coupa Procurement Adapter into the integration as an invoke connection.
   1. On the Basic Info page, provide a meaningful endpoint name.
   2. On the Operations page, select the Coupa module (for example, purchase orders, requisitions, and budget lines) that reflects the external application data in Coupa.
   3. Review your selections on the Summary page.
5. In the mapper, perform the required mappings to align the external REST payload with the corresponding Coupa fields.
6. When complete, activate the integration.
