Proposed workflow

Customer reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting eventA change involving the proposed customer table in Amazon DynamoDB or SAP Business Partners needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with the proposed customer table in Amazon DynamoDB and SAP Business Partners. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.

  2. Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.

  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

What to verifyTest an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.

Compare integration approaches

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Proposed customer table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) / Business Partners to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.

Stacksync managed sync

Best fit
Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
Operating responsibility
Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose
Check record matching: Determine whether each customer represents an individual, a company, or a business-unit relationship before matching it to a contact or organization. Retain the source customer ID and destination ID; names and email alone are insufficient. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.

Native vendor integration

Best fit
A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Amazon DynamoDB and SAP record types.
Operating responsibility
Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose
First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Proposed customer table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) / Business Partners, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider when Amazon DynamoDB and SAP need a transformation, approval, or action outside a direct record sync.
Operating responsibility
Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose
Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery. Separate reading history from actions that send messages, grant access, or post transactions.

File or scheduled snapshot

Best fit
Consider for a one-time Amazon DynamoDB / SAP migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility
Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose
Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.

Workflow scenarios and expected results

Customer reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Proposed customer table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) or Business Partners record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Amazon DynamoDB Proposed customer table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) and SAP Business Partners. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.

If it fails: Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.

Sales order reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Proposed sales order table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) or Sales Orders record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Amazon DynamoDB Proposed sales order table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) and SAP Sales Orders. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Create or locate the customer and products first; resolve taxes, currency, and fulfillment references.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test a multi-line order, a partial cancellation, and two partial shipments. Compare line totals as well as the header.

If it fails: Check for an existing destination order before retrying a timed-out create; reconcile line IDs to avoid duplicate fulfillment.

Journal or ledger entry reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Proposed journal or ledger entry table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) or GL Accounts and Journal Entries record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Amazon DynamoDB Proposed journal or ledger entry table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) and SAP GL Accounts and Journal Entries. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve chart-of-account, currency, entity, and dimension references before lines.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Verify balanced debits and credits, dimension requirements, and rejection for a closed period.

If it fails: Reconcile posting status and use the finance-approved reversal or adjustment process instead of replaying a posted entry.

Reconcile SAP business records with Amazon DynamoDB

This is an evaluation scenario; connector and operation support require confirmation.

Starting event: A finance-owned record in SAP needs operational visibility through Items.

  1. Select Business Partners or Materials (Products) with the correct legal entity, period, and currency.
  2. Define a reporting relationship in Amazon DynamoDB; do not equate customer records, ledger accounts, and posted transactions.
  3. Decide whether the process only reports a financial state or requests an approved accounting action, and maintain a separate transaction ID for each action.

Expected result: Totals reconcile within the same entity/currency/window; a repeated handoff creates no duplicate financial transaction.

If it fails: Verify posting and settlement state before retrying. Use the approved adjustment path for already-posted transactions.

Initial load and acceptance testing

Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.

Proposed customer table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) / Business Partners

Test case

Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.

Expected result

The expected customer relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Proposed sales order table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) / Sales Orders

Test case

Test a multi-line order, a partial cancellation, and two partial shipments. Compare line totals as well as the header.

Expected result

The expected sales order relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Proposed journal or ledger entry table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) / GL Accounts and Journal Entries

Test case

Verify balanced debits and credits, dimension requirements, and rejection for a closed period.

Expected result

The expected journal or ledger entry relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Items / Materials (Products)

Test case

Test two variants of one product, a changed SKU, and a price that applies to only one market or currency.

Expected result

The expected product or catalog item relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Direction and permissions

Test case

Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.

Expected result

Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.

Freshness and reconciliation

Test case

Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.

Expected result

The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.

Failed updates, retries and recovery

Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.

Rejected or repeated customer change

Investigate

Inspect Amazon DynamoDB Proposed customer table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) and SAP Business Partners, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.

Rejected or repeated sales order change

Investigate

Inspect Amazon DynamoDB Proposed sales order table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) and SAP Sales Orders, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Check for an existing destination order before retrying a timed-out create; reconcile line IDs to avoid duplicate fulfillment.

Rejected or repeated journal or ledger entry change

Investigate

Inspect Amazon DynamoDB Proposed journal or ledger entry table in Amazon DynamoDB (choose its name) and SAP GL Accounts and Journal Entries, their IDs, and the destination error.
