Why teams connect Exasol and SAP

Put SAP's records in Exasol as live tables for reporting and analysis, without extract jobs, and write results back where SAP can use them.

ERP data is some of the most asked-for data in the warehouse and some of the hardest to get: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and extract jobs are brittle. Whether SAP carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, the analysis belongs in Exasol next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Inventory / Stock, Cost Centers, Business Partners, Materials (Products) from SAP into tables in Exasol continuously, managing API limits and schema drift along the way. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Exasol can be written back to fields in SAP where that is useful.

Common use cases

  • Sync computed metrics or customer segments from Exasol back into a CRM for sales and marketing use (reverse ETL).
  • Consolidate data from multiple operational databases into Exasol as the central analytics layer.
  • Expose sales order and delivery status to customer portals through a synced Postgres database instead of direct SAP access.
  • Publish plant-level inventory to e-commerce and planning systems on change or on schedule.

Write-back where SAP exposes writable fields

Classifications or reference values computed in Exasol sync back onto the corresponding records in SAP.

Where SAP holds the books: finance reporting from live data

Financial records land in Exasol as they change, so period-end reporting queries current numbers rather than last night's extract.

Where SAP is the HR system of record: workforce analytics

Worker and organization data syncs into Exasol for headcount, cost, and planning analysis alongside other company data.

What you can sync between Exasol 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.

Exasol objects SAP objects
Tables Primary sync target; columnar relational tables written with standard SQL. Purchase Orders Procurement documents synced with supplier portals and spend tools.
Views Read-only query surfaces often used as curated sources for reverse ETL. Outbound Deliveries Shipment documents synced to WMS, carriers, and customer portals.
Virtual schemas Federated views over external sources; useful for deciding what needs physical replication. Billing Documents Invoices read for AR status and replicated for revenue reporting.
UDF scripts In-database functions that can transform synced data after load. GL Accounts and Journal Entries Financial postings replicated to warehouses for group finance analytics.
Users and roles Grant read/write access for the dedicated integration account. Production Orders Manufacturing orders exchanged with MES and scheduling systems.
Schemas Namespaces that group the tables a sync reads from or writes into. Inventory / Stock Plant and storage-location quantities synced to storefronts and planning tools.
