Why teams connect Airtable and SAP Business ByDesign

Give your engineers SAP Business ByDesign's data in Airtable: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Contacts, Sales Orders, Customer Invoices, Materials / Products from SAP Business ByDesign into Airtable and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever SAP Business ByDesign is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in Airtable sync back into SAP Business ByDesign with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Write cleaned records edited in Airtable back to the source system of record, keeping both sides consistent in near real time.
  • Use Airtable as a lightweight front end for product catalogs or inventory stored in an ERP or warehouse database.
  • Align the ByDesign material master with external product catalogs and inventory systems.
  • Sync project and time data with external professional-services tools for billing.

Where SAP Business ByDesign is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from Airtable back into SAP Business ByDesign, keeping the ERP authoritative.

Read ERP records with a query
