Proposed workflow

Customer invoice sync test

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting eventA change involving SAP Business One A/R Invoices or Workday Customers and Invoices needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with SAP Business One A/R Invoices and Workday Customers and Invoices. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.

  2. Resolve the customer or supplier, account codes, tax, currency, and accounting period before posting.

  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

What to verifyTest a posted invoice, a partial payment, tax rounding, and a closed accounting period. Compare financial totals within the same entity and currency.

Record matching

A/R Invoices / Customers and Invoices

Compare whether SAP Business One A/R Invoices and Workday Customers and Invoices describe the same customer invoice in your business.

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

SAP Business One
Object support to establish
Workday
Object support to establish
Record identity
Retain the invoice ID, issuer/legal entity, and original order reference; invoice numbers alone may overlap.
Field ownership
The financial system owns posting and accounting treatment. A posted invoice may need a credit or adjustment process instead of an overwrite.

Fields to include

  • Source invoice ID
  • Customer or supplier reference
  • Line totals
  • Currency
  • Posting/payment status
Record dependencies
Resolve the customer or supplier, account codes, tax, currency, and accounting period before posting.
Validation
Test a posted invoice, a partial payment, tax rounding, and a closed accounting period. Compare financial totals within the same entity and currency.
Recovery
Determine whether a transaction posted before retrying. Follow the approved adjustment process for posted records.

Business process

Sales Orders / Customers and Invoices

Order-to-invoice handoff: SAP Business One Sales Orders provides context for Workday Customers and Invoices. These are related records, not equivalent entities.

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

SAP Business One
Object support to establish
Workday
Object support to establish
Record identity
Link order and line IDs to invoice and line IDs; allow partial invoicing and multiple invoices per order.
Field ownership
Finance owns invoice posting; the order system supplies the approved commercial context.

Fields to include

  • Source record reference
  • Destination record reference
  • Approved handoff state
  • Duplicate-detection key
Record dependencies
Create or locate the customer and products first; resolve taxes, currency, and fulfillment references.
Validation
Test a partially invoiced order, tax rounding, and a repeated handoff without generating another invoice.
Recovery
Check for an existing destination order before retrying a timed-out create; reconcile line IDs to avoid duplicate fulfillment.

Record matching

Journal Entries / Journal Entries

Compare whether SAP Business One Journal Entries and Workday Journal Entries describe the same journal or ledger entry in your business.

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

SAP Business One
Object support to establish
Workday
Object support to establish
Record identity
Retain journal ID and line IDs within the legal entity and accounting period.
Field ownership

Fields to include

  • Source journal ID
  • Account references
  • Debit/credit amounts
  • Entity
  • Accounting period
Record dependencies
Resolve chart-of-account, currency, entity, and dimension references before lines.
Validation
Verify balanced debits and credits, dimension requirements, and rejection for a closed period.
Recovery
Reconcile posting status and use the finance-approved reversal or adjustment process instead of replaying a posted entry.

Compare integration approaches

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use A/R Invoices / Customers and Invoices to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.

Stacksync managed sync

Best fit
Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
Operating responsibility
Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose
Check record matching: Retain the invoice ID, issuer/legal entity, and original order reference; invoice numbers alone may overlap. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.

Native vendor integration

Best fit
A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your SAP Business One and Workday record types.
Operating responsibility
Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose
First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify A/R Invoices / Customers and Invoices, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider explicit orchestration for the Sales Orders / Customers and Invoices handoff.
Operating responsibility
Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose
Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery. Separate reading history from actions that send messages, grant access, or post transactions.

File or scheduled snapshot

Best fit
Consider for a one-time SAP Business One / Workday migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility
Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose
Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.

Workflow scenarios and expected results

Customer invoice sync test

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected A/R Invoices or Customers and Invoices record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with SAP Business One A/R Invoices and Workday Customers and Invoices. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve the customer or supplier, account codes, tax, currency, and accounting period before posting.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test a posted invoice, a partial payment, tax rounding, and a closed accounting period. Compare financial totals within the same entity and currency.

If it fails: Determine whether a transaction posted before retrying. Follow the approved adjustment process for posted records.

Sales order process handoff

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Sales Orders or Customers and Invoices record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with SAP Business One Sales Orders and Workday Customers and Invoices. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Create or locate the customer and products first; resolve taxes, currency, and fulfillment references.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test a partially invoiced order, tax rounding, and a repeated handoff without generating another invoice.

If it fails: Check for an existing destination order before retrying a timed-out create; reconcile line IDs to avoid duplicate fulfillment.

Journal or ledger entry sync test

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Journal Entries or Journal Entries record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with SAP Business One Journal Entries and Workday Journal Entries. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve chart-of-account, currency, entity, and dimension references before lines.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Verify balanced debits and credits, dimension requirements, and rejection for a closed period.

If it fails: Reconcile posting status and use the finance-approved reversal or adjustment process instead of replaying a posted entry.

Worker lifecycle planning for Workday and SAP Business One

This is an evaluation scenario; connector and operation support require confirmation.

Starting event: A worker joins, moves, or leaves in Workday; a downstream process in SAP Business One needs the approved context.

  1. Identify the worker and employment record represented by Workers or Suppliers. Retain effective dates and organizational scope.
  2. Determine what Business Partners or Items represents: an operational task, a user identity, or a reporting row. Define a relationship; do not map these records as if they were the employee itself.
  3. Require the process owner to approve any access, payroll, or account action and assign an exception owner.

Expected result: Rehires and concurrent assignments keep distinct employment context; delayed updates do not reverse a newer effective state.

If it fails: Inspect employment identity and effective dates before retrying the downstream action.

Initial load and acceptance testing

Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.

A/R Invoices / Customers and Invoices

Test case

Test a posted invoice, a partial payment, tax rounding, and a closed accounting period. Compare financial totals within the same entity and currency.

Expected result

The expected customer invoice relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Sales Orders / Customers and Invoices

Test case

Test a partially invoiced order, tax rounding, and a repeated handoff without generating another invoice.

Expected result

The expected sales order relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Journal Entries / Journal Entries

Test case

Verify balanced debits and credits, dimension requirements, and rejection for a closed period.

Expected result

The expected journal or ledger entry relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Direction and permissions

Test case

Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.

Expected result

Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.

Freshness and reconciliation

Test case

Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.

Expected result

The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.

Failed updates, retries and recovery

Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.

Rejected or repeated customer invoice change

Investigate

Inspect SAP Business One A/R Invoices and Workday Customers and Invoices, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Determine whether a transaction posted before retrying. Follow the approved adjustment process for posted records.

Rejected or repeated sales order change

Investigate

Inspect SAP Business One Sales Orders and Workday Customers and Invoices, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Check for an existing destination order before retrying a timed-out create; reconcile line IDs to avoid duplicate fulfillment.

Rejected or repeated journal or ledger entry change

Investigate

Inspect SAP Business One Journal Entries and Workday Journal Entries, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Reconcile posting status and use the finance-approved reversal or adjustment process instead of replaying a posted entry.

A record type or update is unavailable

Investigate

Check the SAP Business One and Workday connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.

Next action

Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.

Source and destination disagree after a retry

Investigate

Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.

Next action

Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.

Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.
