Why teams connect Databricks and SAP

Put SAP's records in Databricks as live tables for reporting and analysis, without extract jobs, and write results back where SAP 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 carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, the analysis belongs in Databricks next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Production Orders, Inventory / Stock, Cost Centers, Business Partners from SAP into tables in Databricks continuously, managing API limits and schema drift along the way. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Databricks can be written back to fields in SAP where that is useful.

Common use cases

  • Land CRM and ERP records in Delta tables continuously so lakehouse models work from current operational data.
  • Use Change Data Feed to propagate only changed rows to downstream apps instead of full-table scans.
  • Keep MES and WMS systems aligned with production orders and goods movements.
  • Expose sales order and delivery status to customer portals through a synced Postgres database instead of direct SAP access.

Group reporting across systems

Combine SAP's records with data synced from other systems in Databricks for consolidated views no single system can produce.

Write-back where SAP exposes writable fields

Classifications or reference values computed in Databricks sync back onto the corresponding records in SAP.

Where SAP holds the books: finance reporting from live data

Financial records land in Databricks as they change, so period-end reporting queries current numbers rather than last night's extract.

What you can sync between Databricks and SAP

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.

Databricks objects SAP objects
Delta Tables The primary read and write target; operational data lands here as managed or external tables. Production Orders Manufacturing orders exchanged with MES and scheduling systems.
Views Curated read-only projections used as sync sources for downstream tools. Inventory / Stock Plant and storage-location quantities synced to storefronts and planning tools.
Materialized Views Precomputed results read on a schedule for reverse-ETL style syncs. Cost Centers Controlling masters read for mapping costs in finance integrations.
Volumes Unity Catalog file storage used for staging bulk loads. Business Partners The unified customer and supplier master in S/4HANA, the anchor object for CRM and procurement syncs.
SQL Warehouses The compute endpoint a sync connects to for query execution. Materials (Products) Item master with plant and sales views, synced to commerce, PLM, and CRM systems.
Change Data Feed Row-level change records on Delta tables that drive incremental reads. Sales Orders Order documents written from external channels and read for status and fulfillment.
