Why teams connect Anthropic and SAP

Ground Anthropic on the customers, suppliers, items, and transactions that live in SAP, and write the classifications, scores, and extracted fields Anthropic produces back onto those records in real time.

Anthropic is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into SAP, so SAP always reflects the current state of Anthropic — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

An AI system does not keep customers, orders, or invoices the way an ERP does. What it keeps is derived: the vectors and metadata in a store, or the classifications, extracted fields, and generated text a model produces over records it was handed. SAP is where those source records actually live, across finance, operations, procurement, and inventory, and that data usually stays behind a strict API with many record types. Whatever Anthropic produces, whether a category, a risk flag, an extracted value, or an embedding, only earns its keep when it lands back on the record in SAP where the business is run.

Stacksync connects Message Batches, Models, Usage Report (messages), Cost Report in Anthropic with Materials (Products), Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Outbound Deliveries in SAP and keeps the two sides in sync in real time. Materials (Products), Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Outbound Deliveries from SAP replicate into Anthropic continuously, so retrieval, classification, and reasoning run against current ERP records instead of last night's extract, and the fields Anthropic generates sync back onto the matching record in SAP. Mapping is field-level, matching is on identifiers you choose, and Stacksync handles the ERP's API limits and schema drift, so there is no extraction pipeline to build or babysit.

Because every AI-side item carries the key of the record it came from, results always resolve to the right customer, supplier, or transaction. Anthropic reasons over the business as it actually is within seconds of a change, and the people running operations act on model output where they already work, without exporting a file or logging into a second system.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Organization Members and their roles into an IdP or HR database to audit who can access which workspace.
  • 02 Load Message Batches status and results into a database so downstream jobs consume completed batch output by custom_id.
  • 03 Keep MES and WMS systems aligned with production orders and goods movements.
  • 04 Expose sales order and delivery status to customer portals through a synced Postgres database instead of direct SAP access.

Common sync patterns

ERP records as live context

Customers, suppliers, items, and transactions from SAP replicate into Anthropic as they change, so search, retrieval, and reasoning run against current records rather than a periodic extract.

Derived fields back on the record

Categories, scores, or extracted values produced in Anthropic sync onto the matching record in SAP, where operations and finance teams see and act on them without leaving the ERP.

Continuous freshness, no reload

As records are created or corrected in SAP, the copy held in Anthropic updates within seconds, so the model side never reasons over stale ERP data.

What you can sync between Anthropic 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.

Anthropic objects SAP objects How this pairing syncs
Message Batches Asynchronous batch jobs at /v1/messages/batches; the connector polls processing_status and reads per-request results keyed by custom_id once a batch has ended. Materials (Products) Item master with plant and sales views, synced to commerce, PLM, and CRM systems. Message Batches is specific to Anthropic and Materials (Products) to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models Claude model catalog from /v1/models with model IDs, context window, max output, and capability flags; snapshotted into a config table so applications avoid hardcoding model IDs. Sales Orders Order documents written from external channels and read for status and fulfillment. Models is specific to Anthropic and Sales Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Usage Report (messages) Time-bucketed token usage (uncached input, cached input, cache creation, output) grouped by workspace, model, API key, and service tier from /v1/organizations/usage_report/messages; read-only, queried by date range at 1m/1h/1d bucket width. Purchase Orders Procurement documents synced with supplier portals and spend tools. Usage Report (messages) is specific to Anthropic and Purchase Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cost Report Daily USD cost broken down by workspace, model, and cost type from /v1/organizations/cost_report; read-only, polled by date range for chargeback and FinOps reporting. Outbound Deliveries Shipment documents synced to WMS, carriers, and customer portals. Cost Report is specific to Anthropic and Outbound Deliveries to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workspaces Organization workspaces from the Admin API (/v1/organizations/workspaces); synced read-mostly so usage, keys, and members can be mapped to the workspace they belong to. Billing Documents Invoices read for AR status and replicated for revenue reporting. Workspaces is specific to Anthropic and Billing Documents to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organization Members Users in the organization with their role from /v1/organizations/users; read into an IdP or HR database for access auditing rather than written back. GL Accounts and Journal Entries Financial postings replicated to warehouses for group finance analytics. Organization Members is specific to Anthropic and GL Accounts and Journal Entries to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Anthropic 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.

Anthropic SAP Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Anthropic for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

SAP Anthropic Sub-second propagation

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

DeliveryAnthropic does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Anthropic's output flows back as field updates on the originating SAP records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Anthropic: Messages API limits are per usage tier: requests-per-minute plus input- and output-tokens-per-minute, surfaced in anthropic-ratelimit-* response headers with retry-after on 429. Usage/cost reports recommend polling at most once per minute.
  • SAP: Throttling is configured at the gateway and tenant level rather than as a single published rate limit.

How the Anthropic and SAP connectors work

Anthropic

Integration surface
REST — Messages API at api.anthropic.com/v1 plus the Admin API (/v1/organizations/*) for organization, usage, and cost data
Authentication
API key in the x-api-key header for Messages, Models, Files, and Batches endpoints; the Admin API requires a separate Admin API key (sk-ant-admin...) with organization-admin permission. Every request also sends an anthropic-version header.
Change detection
Polling. Usage and cost reports are queried by time bucket (1m/1h/1d) over a date range; list endpoints paginate with has_more/next_page (or after_id). No general-purpose data-change webhooks (webhooks exist only for Managed Agents session state).
Capabilities

Rate limits
Messages API limits are per usage tier: requests-per-minute plus input- and output-tokens-per-minute, surfaced in anthropic-ratelimit-* response headers with retry-after on 429. Usage/cost reports recommend polling at most once per minute.
