Why teams connect Azure Active Directory and SAP
Keep the employee, group, and account records that SAP and Azure Active Directory share aligned in real time, so a person added, moved, or offboarded in one system shows up correctly in the other within seconds.
An ERP and an identity system describe the same workforce from two angles. SAP holds the authoritative record of who works at the company, and often their department, title, manager, and cost center. Azure Active Directory controls the accounts, groups, and access those same people use every day. When the two aren't connected, every hire, transfer, and departure has to be keyed twice, and the window between someone leaving in SAP and their account still being active in Azure Active Directory is a real security exposure.
Stacksync syncs Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Outbound Deliveries, Billing Documents in SAP with Devices, Users, Groups, Group memberships in Azure Active Directory in real time, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly jobs. A new hire, a department change, or a termination propagates within seconds, and where you want changes to flow both ways — the ERP's org data into the directory, account status back into the ERP — the same mapping handles it.
That matters most at offboarding and audit time. When the directory reflects the ERP's current headcount and org structure, disabling access no longer depends on someone remembering to update a second system, and access reviews start from a roster both sides already agree on.
Common use cases
- 01 Expose sales order and delivery status to customer portals through a synced Postgres database instead of direct SAP access.
- 02 Publish plant-level inventory to e-commerce and planning systems on change or on schedule.
- 03 Mirror Applications and Service principals into a database or CMDB to track app ownership and credential expiry.
- 04 Reconcile Entra ID Users and assignedLicenses with an ITSM or finance database to audit license allocation and reclaim unused seats.
Common sync patterns
One roster on a shared key
People are matched across both systems on an identifier you choose, such as work email or employee ID, so there is a single accurate list of who is active.
Create accounts from new records
A person added in one system gets a matching account or record in the other automatically, so a new hire can be granted access without anyone re-keying their details.
Disable access at offboarding
When a person is marked terminated or inactive in one system, the matching account is disabled in the other within seconds, closing the gap that leaves ex-employees with live access.
What you can sync between Azure Active Directory 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.
| Azure Active Directory objects | SAP objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Applications App registrations under /applications; usually read into a database or CMDB for app ownership and credential-expiry tracking. | Purchase Orders Procurement documents synced with supplier portals and spend tools. | Applications is specific to Azure Active Directory and Purchase Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Service principals /servicePrincipals (enterprise apps) plus appRoleAssignments; read for app inventory and access-posture reporting. | Outbound Deliveries Shipment documents synced to WMS, carriers, and customer portals. | Service principals is specific to Azure Active Directory and Outbound Deliveries to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Directory roles /directoryRoles and roleManagement assignments; read for privileged-access reviews, with role-assignment writes where the granted scopes permit. | Billing Documents Invoices read for AR status and replicated for revenue reporting. | Directory roles is specific to Azure Active Directory and Billing Documents to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Devices /devices registered or joined to the tenant; typically read-only into asset and security databases. | GL Accounts and Journal Entries Financial postings replicated to warehouses for group finance analytics. | Devices is specific to Azure Active Directory and GL Accounts and Journal Entries to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users /users in Microsoft Graph; synced two-way — profile attributes, accountEnabled, and assignedLicenses are read out while provisioning writes (create, update, disable, delete) are pushed back. | Production Orders Manufacturing orders exchanged with MES and scheduling systems. | Users is specific to Azure Active Directory and Production Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Groups /groups covering security and Microsoft 365 groups; created, updated, and deleted through Graph, and read into warehouses for entitlement reporting. | Inventory / Stock Plant and storage-location quantities synced to storefronts and planning tools. | Groups is specific to Azure Active Directory and Inventory / Stock to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Azure Active Directory 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.
Azure Active Directory SAP Sub-second propagation
DetectionAzure Active Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (deltaLink tokens returning only changed users and groups, with @removed deletions) paired with change-notification.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to SAP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Azure Active Directory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Azure Active Directory: Resource-unit throttling: roughly 8,000 ResourceUnits per 10 seconds per app for reads on tenants over 500 users, writes near 3,000 requests per 2.5 minutes; 429 responses include a Retry-After header.
- SAP: Throttling is configured at the gateway and tenant level rather than as a single published rate limit.

FAQ
Azure Active Directory and SAP integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Azure Active Directory and SAP: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Azure Active Directory's Applications and Service principals), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Common patterns for Azure Active Directory and SAP: One roster on a shared key; Create accounts from new records; Disable access at offboarding. People are matched across both systems on an identifier you choose, such as work email or employee ID, so there is a single accurate list of who is active.
-
Azure Active Directory: Microsoft Graph REST API (v1.0). Authentication: OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform using an Entra ID app registration; app-only (client credentials) or delegated flows, with directory scopes such as User.ReadWrite.All and Group.ReadWrite.All requiring tenant admin consent. SAP: OData (v2/v4) APIs on S/4HANA; BAPI/RFC and IDoc on ECC and on-prem systems; SOAP services. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 or basic auth via communication arrangements on cloud editions; SAP user credentials for RFC on-prem. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
SAP: S/4HANA's Business Partner model unifies the legacy customer and vendor masters into one object, so integrations map both roles to a single record. Azure Active Directory: Hybrid identities synchronized from on-premises Active Directory via Entra Connect are mastered on-prem; many of their attributes are read-only in Entra ID and must be edited in AD DS. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Azure Active Directory and SAP without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Azure Active Directory and SAP records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Azure Active Directory and SAP connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Azure Active Directory–SAP integration in-house.
