Why teams connect Azure OpenAI and SAP Business ByDesign

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

Azure OpenAI is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into SAP Business ByDesign, so SAP Business ByDesign always reflects the current state of Azure OpenAI — 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 Business ByDesign 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 Azure OpenAI 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 Business ByDesign where the business is run.

Stacksync connects Models, Fine-tuning jobs, Files, Batch jobs in Azure OpenAI with Materials / Products, Purchase Orders, Opportunities, Projects in SAP Business ByDesign and keeps the two sides in sync in real time. Materials / Products, Purchase Orders, Opportunities, Projects from SAP Business ByDesign replicate into Azure OpenAI continuously, so retrieval, classification, and reasoning run against current ERP records instead of last night's extract, and the fields Azure OpenAI generates sync back onto the matching record in SAP Business ByDesign. 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. Azure OpenAI 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 Sync the Deployments inventory (model, version, TPM capacity) into Postgres so platform teams track every Azure OpenAI deployment across subscriptions in SQL.
  • 02 Land Fine-tuning jobs with their status, base model, and result Files in a warehouse to power MLOps dashboards without per-viewer API calls.
  • 03 Sync ByDesign accounts and contacts with an external CRM so sales works outside the ERP while finance keeps the master record.
  • 04 Create sales orders in ByDesign from e-commerce or CPQ systems and sync order and delivery status back.

Common sync patterns

ERP records as live context

Customers, suppliers, items, and transactions from SAP Business ByDesign replicate into Azure OpenAI 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 Azure OpenAI sync onto the matching record in SAP Business ByDesign, 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 Business ByDesign, the copy held in Azure OpenAI updates within seconds, so the model side never reasons over stale ERP data.

What you can sync between Azure OpenAI and SAP Business ByDesign

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 OpenAI objects SAP Business ByDesign objects How this pairing syncs
Batch jobs Asynchronous bulk-inference jobs; status and output-file IDs are polled to completion to drive downstream pipeline triggers. Purchase Orders Procurement documents exchanged with supplier systems. Batch jobs is specific to Azure OpenAI and Purchase Orders to SAP Business ByDesign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Usage and quota Per-deployment TPM/RPM consumption and remaining quota, read from usage endpoints and Azure Monitor for cost and throttling reporting. Opportunities Built-in CRM records synced with external sales tools when both are in use. Usage and quota is specific to Azure OpenAI and Opportunities to SAP Business ByDesign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assistants Persistent assistants (preview) with instructions, tools, and linked files; read as configuration inventory, not authored via sync. Projects Project structures and tasks read for time and billing integrations. Assistants is specific to Azure OpenAI and Projects to SAP Business ByDesign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vector stores File collections (preview) backing file-search retrieval; read as metadata such as name, file counts, and status. Employees Worker records referenced by time, expense, and project data. Vector stores is specific to Azure OpenAI and Employees to SAP Business ByDesign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deployments Named model deployments (model, version, SKU, assigned TPM capacity) read as a control-plane inventory via Azure Resource Manager; read-only in sync. Business Partners (Accounts) Customer and supplier master data synced with CRMs and procurement tools. Deployments is specific to Azure OpenAI and Business Partners (Accounts) to SAP Business ByDesign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models Catalog of base and fine-tunable models available per region; read-only reference data used to resolve deployment and fine-tuning targets. Contacts Person records linked to accounts, aligned with CRM contact objects. Models is specific to Azure OpenAI and Contacts to SAP Business ByDesign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure OpenAI and SAP Business ByDesign

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 OpenAI SAP Business ByDesign Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure OpenAI for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling: list endpoints plus GET on job IDs for status.

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

SAP Business ByDesign Azure OpenAI Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SAP Business ByDesign for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on last-changed timestamps.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Azure OpenAI: Per-deployment TPM and RPM limits (about 6 RPM per 1000 TPM), scoped by region and subscription; control-plane ARM calls throttle separately.
