Why teams connect SAP Business ByDesign and Sharepoint

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

SAP Business ByDesign runs the business on structured records: Employees, Business Partners (Accounts), Contacts, Sales Orders. Sharepoint holds files and the metadata that describes them: Columns and content types, Permissions and sharing, Site pages, Sites. The two do not share a customer table or an order ledger. What they share is documents. Nearly every record SAP Business ByDesign 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 Business ByDesign 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 Employees, Business Partners (Accounts), Contacts, Sales Orders in SAP Business ByDesign and Columns and content types, Permissions and sharing, Site pages, Sites 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 Business ByDesign. 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 Business ByDesign and the file in Sharepoint never describe two different versions of the same document.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate customer invoices into a reporting database or collections tool without manual exports.
  • 02 Align the ByDesign material master with external product catalogs and inventory systems.
  • 03 Provision site and item permissions and sharing links from an IdP or access-management system so SharePoint access follows onboarding and offboarding.
  • 04 Stream list and library changes through delta query and change-notification webhooks into a warehouse for audit, access-review, and reporting.

Common sync patterns

Documents filed with their context

Files that SAP Business ByDesign 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.

Metadata that files itself

Record fields from SAP Business ByDesign, like customer, date, amount, type, and reference number, become the metadata and tags on the stored file in Sharepoint, so storage stays organized without anyone tagging by hand.

Where Sharepoint captures inbound files: details reach the record

A contract, vendor bill, or receipt added to Sharepoint with its details can create or update the matching record in SAP Business ByDesign, so a document captured outside the finance system still reaches the books.

What you can sync between SAP Business ByDesign 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 Business ByDesign objects Sharepoint objects How this pairing syncs
Opportunities Built-in CRM records synced with external sales tools when both are in use. Site pages Modern site pages via /sites/{id}/pages; read page content, layout, and metadata for indexing and content governance. Opportunities is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Site pages to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Project structures and tasks read for time and billing integrations. 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. Projects is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Sites to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employees Worker records referenced by time, expense, and project data. 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. Employees is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Lists to Sharepoint — 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. 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. Business Partners (Accounts) is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and List items to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts Person records linked to accounts, aligned with CRM contact objects. 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. Contacts is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Drive items (document libraries) to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales Orders Order documents created from external channels and read for status. 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. Sales Orders is specific to SAP Business ByDesign and Columns and content types to Sharepoint — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SAP Business ByDesign 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 Business ByDesign Sharepoint Interval-based propagation

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
