Why teams connect Databricks and SAP S/4HANA

Put SAP S/4HANA's records in Databricks 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 Databricks next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Journal Entries, Customer / Supplier Roles, Production Orders, Business Partners from SAP S/4HANA 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 S/4HANA where that is useful.

Common use cases

  • Use Change Data Feed to propagate only changed rows to downstream apps instead of full-table scans.
  • Serve ML feature outputs computed in Databricks to production apps through a synced operational store.
  • Push closed-won CRM opportunities into S/4HANA as sales orders without manual re-keying.
  • Surface invoice and payment status from S/4HANA inside the CRM so account teams see open balances.

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

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

Group reporting across systems

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

Write-back where SAP S/4HANA exposes writable fields

Classifications or reference values computed in Databricks sync back onto the corresponding records in SAP S/4HANA.

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

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 S/4HANA objects
Materialized Views Precomputed results read on a schedule for reverse-ETL style syncs. Journal Entries Financial postings read into warehouses and consolidation tools for reporting.
Volumes Unity Catalog file storage used for staging bulk loads. Customer / Supplier Roles Role-specific views of Business Partners mapped to CRM account types.
SQL Warehouses The compute endpoint a sync connects to for query execution. Production Orders Manufacturing order status surfaced in planning and operations tools.
Change Data Feed Row-level change records on Delta tables that drive incremental reads. Business Partners Unified customer and supplier master records, the anchor entity for CRM-to-ERP account syncs.
Catalogs Top level of the Unity Catalog namespace, scoping which schemas a sync can address. Sales Orders Order headers and line items synced to CRMs and fulfillment systems as they are created or amended.
Schemas Group tables and views; syncs typically target a dedicated schema per source system. Purchase Orders Procurement documents shared with supplier portals and spend-management tools.
