Why teams connect Lever and SAP Business ByDesign

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that SAP Business ByDesign and Lever share in real time, so the people Lever manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Lever is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. SAP Business ByDesign runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Sales Orders, Customer Invoices, Materials / Products, Purchase Orders in SAP Business ByDesign with Stages, Feedback, Interviews, Notes and Contacts in Lever field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while SAP Business ByDesign keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate customer invoices into a reporting database or collections tool without manual exports.
  • 02 Align the ByDesign material master with external product catalogs and inventory systems.
  • 03 Consolidate Feedback, Interviews, and Notes into a warehouse for interviewer scorecard and time-to-fill reporting.
  • 04 Write enriched Sources, Tags, and Contact data back onto Opportunities from an outbound sourcing pipeline.

Common sync patterns

Where Lever is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Lever, the matching employee record in SAP Business ByDesign is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

New hires ready to transact in SAP Business ByDesign

A new person set up in Lever becomes an employee record in SAP Business ByDesign in time to submit expenses, enter time, or approve a purchase, without waiting on manual setup.

One org structure

Departments, cost centers, and locations that both systems reference stay in agreement, so labor cost, approvals, and reporting in SAP Business ByDesign roll up to the same structure Lever maintains.
