Why teams connect SAP S/4HANA and Yellowbrick

Put SAP S/4HANA's records in Yellowbrick as live tables for reporting and analysis, without extract jobs, and write results back where SAP S/4HANA can use them.

ERP data is some of the most asked-for data in the warehouse and some of the hardest to get: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and extract jobs are brittle. Whether SAP S/4HANA carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, the analysis belongs in Yellowbrick next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Business Partners, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Products / Materials from SAP S/4HANA into tables in Yellowbrick continuously, managing API limits and schema drift along the way. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Yellowbrick can be written back to fields in SAP S/4HANA where that is useful.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync CRM and marketing data into Yellowbrick tables so it can be joined with large fact tables for enterprise BI.
  • 02 Land ERP transactional extracts in Yellowbrick for finance and supply-chain analytics.
  • 03 Surface invoice and payment status from S/4HANA inside the CRM so account teams see open balances.
  • 04 Replicate material master and pricing data to e-commerce and quoting tools.

Common sync patterns

Where SAP S/4HANA is the HR system of record: workforce analytics

Worker and organization data syncs into Yellowbrick for headcount, cost, and planning analysis alongside other company data.

Where SAP S/4HANA runs operations: order and supply analysis

Operational records become queryable tables in Yellowbrick, joinable with sales and finance data.

Group reporting across systems

Combine SAP S/4HANA's records with data synced from other systems in Yellowbrick for consolidated views no single system can produce.

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

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 S/4HANA objects Yellowbrick objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase Orders Procurement documents shared with supplier portals and spend-management tools. Users and Roles Access-control objects that govern what a sync service account can read and write. Purchase Orders is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Users and Roles to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Products / Materials Material master data distributed to e-commerce, PIM, and CRM catalogs. Databases Top-level containers for schemas and tables. Products / Materials is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Databases to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Billing Documents (Invoices) Invoice data pushed to CRMs and payment or collections tools for finance visibility. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by source or domain. Billing Documents (Invoices) is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Schemas to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deliveries Outbound delivery status synced to customer-facing systems for order tracking. Tables Columnar MPP tables; the primary targets for warehouse syncs. Deliveries is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Tables to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Journal Entries Financial postings read into warehouses and consolidation tools for reporting. Views Logical views used to shape reads for BI and downstream syncs. Journal Entries is specific to SAP S/4HANA and Views to Yellowbrick — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SAP S/4HANA and Yellowbrick

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 S/4HANA Yellowbrick 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 applied to Yellowbrick as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Yellowbrick SAP S/4HANA Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Yellowbrick for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on timestamp columns.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • SAP S/4HANA: Subject to the platform's API rate limits, which vary by edition and communication arrangement.
  • Yellowbrick: No API rate limits; throughput depends on cluster sizing, and bulk loads should use ybload rather than row-by-row inserts.
