Why teams connect SAP Business ByDesign and SAP S/4HANA

Two ERPs, one set of facts: Stacksync keeps SAP Business ByDesign and SAP S/4HANA consistent in real time, whether they split the business or one is replacing the other.

Companies run two ERPs for structural reasons: a two-tier setup with subsidiaries on lighter systems, an acquisition that brought its own stack, a split by function or region, or a migration that will take quarters. In all of these, some of the same organizations, people, and transactions exist in both systems, and keeping them aligned by hand is a standing tax on the back office.

Stacksync syncs Purchase Orders, Opportunities, Projects, Employees in SAP Business ByDesign with Deliveries, Journal Entries, Customer / Supplier Roles, Production Orders in SAP S/4HANA bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping across the two data models and conflict rules you define. A record changed in either system is reflected in the other within seconds, not at the next interface run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Align the ByDesign material master with external product catalogs and inventory systems.
  • 02 Sync project and time data with external professional-services tools for billing.
  • 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

Shared master data

Where both systems keep records of the same customers, suppliers, or organizations, a correction in either updates the other.

Split by function

Where one system is the people or finance suite and the other runs operations, the records both sides depend on, such as organizations, cost centers, and reference data, stay in agreement.

Two-tier roll-up

Where subsidiaries run one system and headquarters runs the other, shared records and transactions flow up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

What you can sync between SAP Business ByDesign 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.

SAP Business ByDesign objects SAP S/4HANA objects How this pairing syncs
Sales Orders Order documents created from external channels and read for status. Sales Orders Order headers and line items synced to CRMs and fulfillment systems as they are created or amended. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Purchase Orders Procurement documents exchanged with supplier systems. Purchase Orders Procurement documents shared with supplier portals and spend-management tools. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Opportunities Built-in CRM records synced with external sales tools when both are in use. Customer / Supplier Roles Role-specific views of Business Partners mapped to CRM account types. Opportunities is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Customer / Supplier Roles to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Project structures and tasks read for time and billing integrations. Production Orders Manufacturing order status surfaced in planning and operations tools. Projects is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Production Orders to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employees Worker records referenced by time, expense, and project data. Business Partners Unified customer and supplier master records, the anchor entity for CRM-to-ERP account syncs. Employees is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Business Partners to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Business Partners (Accounts) Customer and supplier master data synced with CRMs and procurement tools. Products / Materials Material master data distributed to e-commerce, PIM, and CRM catalogs. Business Partners (Accounts) is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Products / Materials to SAP S/4HANA — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SAP Business ByDesign 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.

DetectionStacksync polls SAP Business ByDesign for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on last-changed timestamps.

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