Why teams connect Recurly and SAP S/4HANA

Keep Recurly and SAP S/4HANA agreeing on customers, invoices, and balances, whether they split the finance workload or one is replacing the other.

A dedicated finance tool and an ERP end up side by side for practical reasons: a subsidiary runs lighter software than headquarters, billing runs in a specialist system while the enterprise system holds the wider view, or the company is mid-migration and both are live. Whatever the split, the two systems describe overlapping customers and transactions, and that overlap drifts without a live connection.

Stacksync syncs Invoices, Transactions, Line Items, Coupons and Redemptions in Recurly with Journal Entries, Customer / Supplier Roles, Production Orders, Business Partners in SAP S/4HANA in real time and in both directions. You decide which system wins on which field, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync Accounts and Subscriptions bi-directionally with Postgres so product and provisioning systems read live entitlement state and write plan or seat changes back to Recurly.
  • 02 Trigger revenue-recognition or ERP entries when new_subscription and canceled_subscription webhooks fire.
  • 03 Keep supplier records aligned between S/4HANA procurement and third-party spend platforms.
  • 04 Push closed-won CRM opportunities into S/4HANA as sales orders without manual re-keying.

Common sync patterns

Migration without a hard cutover

When one system is replacing the other, run both in parallel with records matching until the switch is complete.

One customer and vendor master

Where both systems keep records of the same organizations, corrections made in either propagate to the other.

Subsidiary to headquarters

Where Recurly serves a business unit and SAP S/4HANA is the group system, transactions and customer records roll up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

What you can sync between Recurly and SAP S/4HANA

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.

Recurly objects SAP S/4HANA objects How this pairing syncs
Measured Units and Usage Metered-billing units; usage records are posted to a subscription before each bill run for consumption-based pricing. Production Orders Manufacturing order status surfaced in planning and operations tools. Measured Units and Usage is specific to Recurly and Production Orders to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Accounts Customer/billing entity records keyed by account_code; the anchor most subscriptions and invoices hang off. Synced two-way with CRM accounts or a customer database. Business Partners Unified customer and supplier master records, the anchor entity for CRM-to-ERP account syncs. Accounts is specific to Recurly and Business Partners to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Subscriptions Recurring subscription records tied to an Account and a Plan, with state, term, and next-bill date. Core object, synced two-way to drive provisioning and reporting. Sales Orders Order headers and line items synced to CRMs and fulfillment systems as they are created or amended. Subscriptions is specific to Recurly and Sales Orders to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Plans The product and pricing catalog (plan codes, intervals, add-ons); usually mastered in Recurly and read out, or mirrored from a product database. Purchase Orders Procurement documents shared with supplier portals and spend-management tools. Plans is specific to Recurly and Purchase Orders to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoices Charge and credit billing documents; read-heavy for revenue reporting, and creatable through Purchases for one-off charges. Products / Materials Material master data distributed to e-commerce, PIM, and CRM catalogs. Invoices is specific to Recurly and Products / Materials to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Transactions Individual payment attempts — captures, refunds, and voids; typically read into a warehouse for reconciliation and dunning analysis. Billing Documents (Invoices) Invoice data pushed to CRMs and payment or collections tools for finance visibility. Transactions is specific to Recurly and Billing Documents (Invoices) to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Recurly and SAP S/4HANA

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.

Recurly SAP S/4HANA Sub-second propagation

DetectionRecurly notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (JSON or XML, one format per endpoint) for account, subscription, payment, and invoice events, plus incremental polling of list endpoints.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to SAP S/4HANA through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

SAP S/4HANA Recurly Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls SAP S/4HANA for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on change timestamps exposed by the OData services.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Recurly: Production sites default to 1,000 requests/min with only GET requests counting toward the limit; sandbox sites 400/min with all requests counting; the limit is a sliding 5-minute window, X-RateLimit headers report the quota, and breaches return HTTP 429.
  • SAP S/4HANA: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by edition and communication arrangement.
