Why teams connect Amazon RDS and SAP S/4HANA

Give your engineers SAP S/4HANA's data in Amazon RDS: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

Pairing SAP S/4HANA with Amazon RDS gives teams a relational working copy of core ERP objects. Business Partners, Sales Orders, and Billing Documents sync into RDS Tables, so reporting and satellite applications run on SQL while S/4HANA remains the system of record, with changes synchronized in both directions.

Stacksync mirrors Billing Documents (Invoices), Deliveries, Journal Entries, Customer / Supplier Roles from SAP S/4HANA into Amazon RDS and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever SAP S/4HANA is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Amazon RDS sync back into SAP S/4HANA with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • 01 Expose Business Partners and Sales Orders to internal tools through SQL instead of direct API integrations.
  • 02 Reconcile Billing Documents against payment tables already stored in RDS.
  • 03 Distribute Products / Materials master data from S/4HANA to satellite applications via the RDS copy.
  • 04 Use a read replica as the sync source to keep change capture load off the primary instance

Common sync patterns

Order-to-billing mirror

S/4HANA Sales Orders and Billing Documents (Invoices) replicate into Amazon RDS Tables for downstream reporting.

Material master sync

Products / Materials records map to RDS Schemas and Columns, keeping master data available to non-SAP systems.

Delivery visibility

Deliveries and Purchase Orders sync into RDS Views for logistics and procurement dashboards.

What you can sync between Amazon RDS and SAP S/4HANA

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.

Amazon RDS objects SAP S/4HANA objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to isolate synced tables. Products / Materials Material master data distributed to e-commerce, PIM, and CRM catalogs. Schemas is specific to Amazon RDS and Products / Materials to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables The core sync target; rows map to records in connected SaaS systems. Billing Documents (Invoices) Invoice data pushed to CRMs and payment or collections tools for finance visibility. Tables is specific to Amazon RDS and Billing Documents (Invoices) to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Deliveries Outbound delivery status synced to customer-facing systems for order tracking. Views is specific to Amazon RDS and Deliveries to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Columns Field-level mapping targets, typed per the underlying engine. Journal Entries Financial postings read into warehouses and consolidation tools for reporting. Columns is specific to Amazon RDS and Journal Entries to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts. Customer / Supplier Roles Role-specific views of Business Partners mapped to CRM account types. Primary and Unique Keys is specific to Amazon RDS and Customer / Supplier Roles to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Read Replicas Low-impact read endpoints often used as the source side of a sync. Production Orders Manufacturing order status surfaced in planning and operations tools. Read Replicas is specific to Amazon RDS and Production Orders to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon RDS and SAP S/4HANA

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.

Amazon RDS SAP S/4HANA Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Amazon RDS are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Engine-native log-based CDC: MySQL/MariaDB binlog, PostgreSQL logical replication, SQL Server CDC.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to SAP S/4HANA through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

SAP S/4HANA Amazon RDS Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SAP S/4HANA for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on change timestamps exposed by the OData services.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Amazon RDS as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon RDS: No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance class, storage IOPS, and connection limits.
  • SAP S/4HANA: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by edition and communication arrangement.
