Why teams connect GitHub and SAP

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between GitHub and SAP.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. GitHub is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Workflow runs (Actions), Organizations and Teams, Users, Labels and Milestones in GitHub with Materials (Products), Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Outbound Deliveries in SAP bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • 01 Publish release data into customer-communication tools when a new version ships.
  • 02 Two-way sync of GitHub issues with Jira, Linear, or a support system so engineering and customer-facing teams work in their own tools.
  • 03 Replicate journal entries and billing documents to a warehouse for finance analytics without loading the ERP.
  • 04 Keep MES and WMS systems aligned with production orders and goods movements.

Common sync patterns

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.

Where GitHub faces customers and SAP carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from SAP appears alongside the customer in GitHub, so front-line teams answer from live data.

Where SAP is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from SAP stays current in GitHub, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.

What you can sync between GitHub 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.

GitHub objects SAP objects How this pairing syncs
Workflow runs (Actions) CI results synced into incident and reporting systems. Inventory / Stock Plant and storage-location quantities synced to storefronts and planning tools. Workflow runs (Actions) is specific to GitHub and Inventory / Stock to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organizations and Teams Membership data synced with identity systems and HR directories for access reviews. Cost Centers Controlling masters read for mapping costs in finance integrations. Organizations and Teams is specific to GitHub and Cost Centers to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories. Business Partners The unified customer and supplier master in S/4HANA, the anchor object for CRM and procurement syncs. Users is specific to GitHub and Business Partners to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Labels and Milestones Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers. Materials (Products) Item master with plant and sales views, synced to commerce, PLM, and CRM systems. Labels and Milestones is specific to GitHub and Materials (Products) to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects. Sales Orders Order documents written from external channels and read for status and fulfillment. Repositories is specific to GitHub and Sales Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Issues Synced two-way with project trackers and support tools, including labels and assignees. Purchase Orders Procurement documents synced with supplier portals and spend tools. Issues is specific to GitHub and Purchase Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between GitHub 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.

GitHub SAP Sub-second propagation

DetectionGitHub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks with a broad event catalog covering issues, pull requests, pushes, and releases.

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

SAP GitHub Sub-second propagation

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • GitHub: Authenticated REST requests are limited to 5,000 per hour per user; GitHub Apps scale limits per installation.
  • SAP: Throttling is configured at the gateway and tenant level rather than as a single published rate limit.
