Why teams connect Ironclad and SAP

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

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Ironclad 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 Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.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 Entities, Obligations, Webhooks, Workflow Approvals in Ironclad with Outbound Deliveries, Billing Documents, GL Accounts and Journal Entries, Production Orders 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 Stream workflow approval and signature webhook events into an operational database for cycle-time, bottleneck, and SLA reporting across the contract lifecycle.
  • 02 Push Obligations and renewal dates from Ironclad into a finance or task system so post-signature commitments and renewals are tracked and actioned on time.
  • 03 Expose sales order and delivery status to customer portals through a synced Postgres database instead of direct SAP access.
  • 04 Publish plant-level inventory to e-commerce and planning systems on change or on schedule.

Common sync patterns

Where Ironclad faces customers and SAP carries account records

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

Where Ironclad collects payments: transactions post through

Payment events sync into SAP as they occur, keeping the enterprise records current without manual entry.

Where SAP is the HR or people system of record

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

What you can sync between Ironclad 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.

Ironclad objects SAP objects How this pairing syncs
Signature Packets The e-signature packets on a workflow (sent, signatures collected, fully signed); read to track signing progress, with packet events delivered by webhook for real-time status. Purchase Orders Procurement documents synced with supplier portals and spend tools. Signature Packets is specific to Ironclad and Purchase Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workflow Documents Draft and executed documents attached to a workflow; retrieved to pull generated or signed files out into a document store or archive. Outbound Deliveries Shipment documents synced to WMS, carriers, and customer portals. Workflow Documents is specific to Ironclad and Outbound Deliveries to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Workflows The core unit of Ironclad: a live contract process (NDA, MSA, order form) moving through creation, review, approval, and signature. Launched via POST, updated via PATCH, and read for status, so contract processes move two-way between Ironclad and a database, CRM, or ERP. Billing Documents Invoices read for AR status and replicated for revenue reporting. Workflows is specific to Ironclad and Billing Documents to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Records The Repository of executed and stored contracts with metadata (value, counterparty, key dates, type) and attachments; full create, read, update, and delete so signed-contract data and PDFs sync to a warehouse, ERP, or CRM. GL Accounts and Journal Entries Financial postings replicated to warehouses for group finance analytics. Records is specific to Ironclad and GL Accounts and Journal Entries to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Entities Structured records for counterparties and other parties linked to workflows and records; read and written to keep company and vendor master data aligned with a CRM or ERP. Production Orders Manufacturing orders exchanged with MES and scheduling systems. Entities is specific to Ironclad and Production Orders to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Obligations Post-signature commitments, milestones, and renewal dates tied to contracts; synced two-way to drive renewal, compliance, and finance reporting in downstream systems. Inventory / Stock Plant and storage-location quantities synced to storefronts and planning tools. Obligations is specific to Ironclad and Inventory / Stock to SAP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ironclad 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.

Ironclad SAP Sub-second propagation

DetectionIronclad notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Native webhook subscriptions (POST /webhooks) fire on 40+ workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment events, and Ironclad retries a failing.

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

SAP Ironclad 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 Ironclad through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ironclad: Limits are enforced per account per minute by endpoint: GET Workflows 400 and POST/PATCH Workflows 40; GET Records 600 and POST/PATCH Records 200; GET Entities 600 and POST/PATCH Entities 200; Webhooks 600; all other endpoints 800. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429, and Ironclad recommends exponential backoff with jitter.
  • SAP: Throttling is configured at the gateway and tenant level rather than as a single published rate limit.

How the Ironclad and SAP connectors work

Ironclad

Integration surface
REST/JSON Public API (CLM API) at https://na1.ironcladapp.com/public/api/v1 (NA1 and EU1 regions plus a demo/sandbox), with a native Webhooks subscription API; described by an OpenAPI 3.1 spec.
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 - Authorization Code grant (PKCE for public clients) and Client Credentials grant for server-to-server; access tokens are Bearer, expire after 6 hours, and every endpoint is gated by a resource scope. The legacy static API bearer token was deprecated on 2024-11-22.
Change detection
Native webhook subscriptions (POST /webhooks) fire on 40+ workflow, approval, signature, document, and comment events, and Ironclad retries a failing endpoint up to 10 times over about 13.6 hours with exponential backoff. Otherwise poll the list endpoints by last-updated. There is no database change-data-capture log.
