Why teams connect Akeneo and SAP

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Akeneo and SAP share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Akeneo runs the storefront and takes the orders; SAP owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Categories, Attributes, Families and family variants, Reference entities and records in Akeneo with Production Orders, Inventory / Stock, Cost Centers, Business Partners in SAP field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from SAP, order and customer detail from Akeneo — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Reference entities records such as brands and manufacturers into a data warehouse for cross-catalog reporting.
  • 02 Mirror Products and completeness data into a warehouse to track enrichment progress by channel and locale without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Replicate journal entries and billing documents to a warehouse for finance analytics without loading the ERP.
  • 04 Keep MES and WMS systems aligned with production orders and goods movements.

Common sync patterns

Fulfillment and shipment status close the loop

As orders are picked, shipped, or invoiced in SAP, tracking and status flow back to Akeneo so buyers see accurate updates.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, a correction in either propagates to the other, ending dual maintenance.

Where SAP is the inventory system of record: stock stays accurate

Available quantities from SAP publish to Akeneo, so the store shows what can actually ship and stops overselling.

What you can sync between Akeneo and SAP

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Akeneo objects SAP objects How this pairing syncs
Families and family variants Templates defining which attributes a product carries and how variants axis out; synced to keep catalog structure consistent across systems. Production Orders Manufacturing orders exchanged with MES and scheduling systems. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Production Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reference entities and records Structured lookups like brands, manufacturers, or ingredients with their own records (Enterprise Edition); synced two-way or read into a warehouse for reporting. Inventory / Stock Plant and storage-location quantities synced to storefronts and planning tools. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Inventory / Stock to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assets Asset-family media (images, documents) managed in Akeneo's DAM; linked to products and synced to storefronts and commerce systems. Cost Centers Controlling masters read for mapping costs in finance integrations. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Cost Centers to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Channels and locales Target-market settings that scope attribute values; read to resolve which localized or channel-specific value to map on each side of a sync. Business Partners The unified customer and supplier master in S/4HANA, the anchor object for CRM and procurement syncs. Channels and locales is specific to Akeneo and Business Partners to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Media files Product images and files uploaded via the media endpoint; referenced by products and pushed to downstream commerce and content systems. Materials (Products) Item master with plant and sales views, synced to commerce, PLM, and CRM systems. Media files is specific to Akeneo and Materials (Products) to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products Core catalog records addressed by UUID (recommended) or identifier/SKU; synced two-way with databases, ERPs, and storefronts. Values are scoped per channel and locale. Sales Orders Order documents written from external channels and read for status and fulfillment. Products is specific to Akeneo and Sales Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and SAP

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Akeneo SAP Sub-second propagation

DetectionAkeneo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to SAP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

SAP Akeneo Sub-second propagation

DetectionSAP notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Business events via SAP Event Mesh on S/4HANA.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Akeneo through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Akeneo: REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.
  • SAP: Throttling is configured at the gateway and tenant level rather than as a single published rate limit.

How the Akeneo and SAP connectors work

Akeneo

Integration surface
REST API (plus a GraphQL API) and an Events API for webhooks
Authentication
OAuth2 password grant: client_id/secret plus an API user's username/password exchanged at /api/oauth/v1/token for a bearer access_token and refresh_token; Apps use the OAuth2 authorization-code flow
Change detection
Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents; product.updated.delta carries old and new values); falls back to polling the 'updated' datetime search filter where the Events API is unavailable
