Why teams connect SAP and Sharepoint

Move the documents and data that SAP produces into Sharepoint as files, and let files stored in Sharepoint update the records they belong to in SAP, continuously and without exports or manual filing.

SAP runs the business on structured records: Materials (Products), Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Outbound Deliveries. Sharepoint holds files and the metadata that describes them: List items, Drive items (document libraries), Columns and content types, Permissions and sharing. The two do not share a customer table or an order ledger. What they share is documents. Nearly every record SAP touches produces a file that belongs in storage, whether an invoice, a purchase order, a statement, or a shipping doc, and many files that land in Sharepoint, from signed contracts to vendor bills to receipts, describe a transaction SAP needs to record. Left unconnected, that link is maintained by hand: someone exports a PDF and drags it into a folder, or downloads a file and keys its details into a record.

Stacksync keeps Materials (Products), Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Outbound Deliveries in SAP and List items, Drive items (document libraries), Columns and content types, Permissions and sharing in Sharepoint in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. A document and its details, the customer, the type, the date, an amount, an order or invoice number, are mapped field by field, so a file arrives in Sharepoint already labeled and filed, and metadata captured against a stored file can create or update the matching record in SAP. Changes on either side show up within seconds, with conflict resolution in place of nightly exports and manual filing.

The result is that a transaction and the document that backs it stay together. Finance, operations, and audit teams find the file behind a record without digging through folders, and the record in SAP and the file in Sharepoint never describe two different versions of the same document.

Common use cases

  • 01 Publish plant-level inventory to e-commerce and planning systems on change or on schedule.
  • 02 Replicate journal entries and billing documents to a warehouse for finance analytics without loading the ERP.
  • 03 Sync list columns and content types so database fields map onto SharePoint list fields and schema stays aligned as either side changes.
  • 04 Provision site and item permissions and sharing links from an IdP or access-management system so SharePoint access follows onboarding and offboarding.

Common sync patterns

An archive that stays current

As records change in SAP, the corresponding files and metadata in Sharepoint are kept in step, so a stored document reflects the latest version rather than a stale one-time export.

Audit-ready retention

Every transaction's supporting file lives in Sharepoint beside its metadata, giving finance and audit teams a complete, searchable trail tied back to the record in SAP.

Documents filed with their context

Files that SAP produces land in Sharepoint labeled with the customer, document type, and reference number they belong to, so the right copy is one search away instead of buried in a folder.

What you can sync between SAP and Sharepoint

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.

SAP objects Sharepoint objects How this pairing syncs
GL Accounts and Journal Entries Financial postings replicated to warehouses for group finance analytics. Sites SharePoint site collections and subsites via /sites; read site properties and discover the document libraries (drives) and lists each site contains, addressed by hostname and site path or site ID. GL Accounts and Journal Entries is specific to SAP and Sites to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Production Orders Manufacturing orders exchanged with MES and scheduling systems. Lists Custom lists and libraries via /sites/{id}/lists; create and read lists along with their columns and content types so a target system can mirror or provision list definitions. Production Orders is specific to SAP and Lists to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory / Stock Plant and storage-location quantities synced to storefronts and planning tools. List items Rows in a SharePoint list via /lists/{id}/items with a fields facet of column values; full create, read, update, and delete, synced two-way with database rows. Inventory / Stock is specific to SAP and List items to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cost Centers Controlling masters read for mapping costs in finance integrations. Drive items (document libraries) Files and folders in a library's drive via /drives and /drive/root; upload, download, move, delete, and read per-item metadata, synced two-way with a store. Cost Centers is specific to SAP and Drive items (document libraries) to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Business Partners The unified customer and supplier master in S/4HANA, the anchor object for CRM and procurement syncs. Columns and content types Field definitions and content types on a site or list; read the schema and create columns so database fields map cleanly onto SharePoint list fields. Business Partners is specific to SAP and Columns and content types to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materials (Products) Item master with plant and sales views, synced to commerce, PLM, and CRM systems. Permissions and sharing Role assignments and sharing links on sites, list items, and drive items; read and written to manage access, requiring Sites.Manage.All or Sites.FullControl.All scopes. Materials (Products) is specific to SAP and Permissions and sharing to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SAP and Sharepoint

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.

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

Sharepoint SAP Sub-second propagation

DetectionSharepoint notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Delta query (pull) tracks created, updated, and deleted list items (/lists/{id}/items/delta) and drive items (/drives/{id}/root/delta) since the last.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • SAP: Throttling is configured at the gateway and tenant level rather than as a single published rate limit.
  • Sharepoint: SharePoint Online throttles per app, returning HTTP 429 (or 503) with a Retry-After header in seconds and IETF RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, and RateLimit-Reset headers; throttled requests still count toward limits, so clients honor the greater of Retry-After and RateLimit-Reset with exponential backoff.

Sharepoint

Integration surface
Microsoft Graph REST API (graph.microsoft.com/v1.0 and beta) covering SharePoint sites, lists, list items, columns, content types, and document-library drives and drive items; plus the classic SharePoint REST API (_api/web) and CSOM. Supports Graph JSON $batch (up to 20 requests per call).
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform (Microsoft Entra ID). An app registration holds delegated or application (app-only) scopes such as Sites.Read.All, Sites.ReadWrite.All, Sites.Selected, Sites.Manage.All, or Sites.FullControl.All, plus Files.ReadWrite.All for drive content; application permissions require tenant admin consent.
Change detection
Delta query (pull) tracks created, updated, and deleted list items (/lists/{id}/items/delta) and drive items (/drives/{id}/root/delta) since the last deltaLink; change-notification subscriptions (push webhooks) POST near-real-time notifications for list and drive/root changes to a notification URL and must be renewed before they expire. Classic SharePoint list webhooks are also available.
