Loop Back Integration Pattern

The loop back pattern writes the IDs generated by the target system back to the source record. For example, when creating an Account record in Salesfroce from a Customer in Sage, the Salesforce Object ID should be written back to the Customer record.

This is a common integration pattern, not specific to Salesforce, but due to concerns with API usage and the overhead Lookups almost all Salesforce integrations should use the following pattern.

• Syncing Data to Salesforce - Each 'upload' sample implement this pattern.
  • Sage200 Customer/Supplier & Contact Upload To Salesforce
  • Sage 200 Item & Pricing Upload
  • Sage300 Customer/VEndor & Contact Upload to Salesforce
  • Sage 300 Item & Pricing Upload To Salesforce
    
• Syncing Data From Salesforce - The two order download integrations implement the same pattern where the generated Order number is written back to the Opportunity.
  • Salesforce to Sage200 Opportunity to Order Download
  • Salesforce to Sage300 Opportunity to Order Download
