Why teams connect Navan and SAP ASE (Sybase)

Work with Navan's financial data straight from SAP ASE (Sybase): read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors Custom Fields, Receipts, Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments, Users from Navan into Stored Procedures, Databases and Schemas, Triggers, Indexes in SAP ASE (Sybase) and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against SAP ASE (Sybase), and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Navan with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • 01 Pull Bookings by date range into a database to reconcile travel reservations against Card Transactions and monitor travel-policy spend.
  • 02 Sync Users and department mappings from an HRIS into reporting tables so every transaction is attributed to a cost center and manager.
  • 03 Bridge legacy ASE-backed applications to modern SaaS tools through a synced intermediate database.
  • 04 Migrate off ASE incrementally by keeping old and new databases in sync during cutover.

Common sync patterns

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Navan live in SAP ASE (Sybase) as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on SAP ASE (Sybase); Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Navan.

Write back safely

Updates written to the synced tables in SAP ASE (Sybase) propagate into Navan, so automations can create or correct finance records without custom integration code.

What you can sync between Navan and SAP ASE (Sybase)

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.

Navan objects SAP ASE (Sybase) objects How this pairing syncs
Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments Money-movement records including repayments, FX and platform fees, and credit or debit memos; read-only for reconciliation ledgers. Views Read-only projections used to shape data for extraction without touching base tables. Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments is specific to Navan and Views to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Employee and cardholder records referenced by every transaction; usually provisioned from an HRIS and used to map spend to people and departments. Stored Procedures T-SQL routines that encapsulate business logic; often invoked instead of direct table writes. Users is specific to Navan and Stored Procedures to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Card Transactions Navan physical and virtual card spend; read via GET, then GL codes, cost centers, and ERP sync status are written back per transaction through the transaction update endpoint. Databases and Schemas Namespaces that scope sync configuration and permissions. Card Transactions is specific to Navan and Databases and Schemas to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Connect Transactions External and personal card feed matched into Navan; retrieved read-only and coded with custom-field values through the transaction update endpoint. Triggers Server-side hooks sometimes used to populate change-capture tables for syncs. Connect Transactions is specific to Navan and Triggers to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Manual Transactions Out-of-pocket reimbursements and payroll submissions; synced for approval and reimbursement, then GL-coded back into Navan. Indexes Access paths that keep keyed polling queries efficient on large OLTP tables. Manual Transactions is specific to Navan and Indexes to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bookings Flight, hotel, rail, and car reservations from the Booking API; pulled read-only by createdFrom/createdTo date range for trip and travel-spend reporting. Tables The core sync unit; rows are read and written with standard SQL. Bookings is specific to Navan and Tables to SAP ASE (Sybase) — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Navan and SAP ASE (Sybase)

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.

Navan SAP ASE (Sybase) Sub-second propagation

DetectionNavan notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to SAP ASE (Sybase) as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

SAP ASE (Sybase) Navan Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SAP ASE (Sybase) for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Timestamp or key-based polling and trigger-based capture.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Navan: Requests are throttled with HTTP 429 and Navan recommends retrying with exponential backoff; the Expense/Public API must first be enabled per account by Navan.

How the Navan and SAP ASE (Sybase) connectors work

Navan

Integration surface
REST (Expense API and Booking API)
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client-credentials flow; an admin creates a client_id and client_secret under Settings > Integrations and exchanges them at Navan's OAuth token endpoint for a short-lived bearer token that is refreshed on expiry (separate US and EU regional hosts)
Change detection
Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events; sync engines also poll GET endpoints with date-range and updatedAt filters (createdFrom/createdTo for bookings) to backfill history and reconcile. There is no database-level CDC.
Capabilities

Rate limits
Requests are throttled with HTTP 429 and Navan recommends retrying with exponential backoff; the Expense/Public API must first be enabled per account by Navan.
