Why teams connect SAP and Shipwire

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Shipwire and SAP share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Shipwire runs the storefront and takes the orders; SAP owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Products, Stock, Receivings, Returns in Shipwire with Inventory / Stock, Cost Centers, Business Partners, Materials (Products) in SAP field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from SAP, order and customer detail from Shipwire — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Stock levels per warehouse into an operational database or storefront so availability and backorder state reflect real inventory.
  • 02 Sync Receivings (advance ship notices) and reconcile them against Purchase Orders so inbound supplier shipments are visible as they land.
  • 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

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, a correction in either propagates to the other, ending dual maintenance.

Where SAP is the inventory system of record: stock stays accurate

Available quantities from SAP publish to Shipwire, so the store shows what can actually ship and stops overselling.

New orders reach the back office

An order captured in Shipwire creates the matching record in SAP with customer, line items, and totals, so fulfillment and invoicing start without re-entry.

What you can sync between SAP and Shipwire

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 Shipwire objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase Orders Procurement documents synced with supplier portals and spend tools. Purchase Orders B2B orders with retailer-specific routing and compliance fields; managed via API alongside receivings for wholesale and marketplace fulfillment. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Production Orders Manufacturing orders exchanged with MES and scheduling systems. Stock Real-time per-warehouse inventory levels; read-only, pulled into a database or storefront so availability reflects on-hand and backordered quantities. Production Orders is specific to SAP and Stock to Shipwire — 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. Receivings Inbound advance ship notices (ASNs) from suppliers; created and updated via API and reconciled against Purchase Orders as inventory arrives at a warehouse. Inventory / Stock is specific to SAP and Receivings to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Cost Centers Controlling masters read for mapping costs in finance integrations. Returns Return orders raised against existing Orders; created via API and read back into support or analytics systems for reverse-logistics tracking. Cost Centers is specific to SAP and Returns to Shipwire — 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. Trackings Shipment tracking numbers and carrier status returned as an Order subresource and surfaced through tracking.created, tracking.updated, and tracking.delivered webhook topics. Business Partners is specific to SAP and Trackings to Shipwire — 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. Rates Shipping cost quotes for a cart or order; read-only, called at checkout time to estimate carrier costs rather than synced as stored records. Materials (Products) is specific to SAP and Rates to Shipwire — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SAP and Shipwire

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

Shipwire SAP Sub-second propagation

DetectionShipwire notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (HMAC-SHA256 signed, near real-time) on order, tracking, stock, receiving, return, and product topics.

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.
  • Shipwire: No published per-second request cap; list responses page at 20 items (recommended max ~200) and webhook payloads carry at most 20 items per resource, so large records must be paged via the response next links.
