Why teams connect DuckDB and SAP S/4HANA

Give your engineers SAP S/4HANA's data in DuckDB: 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 Purchase Orders, Products / Materials, Billing Documents (Invoices), Deliveries from SAP S/4HANA into DuckDB and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever SAP S/4HANA is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in DuckDB sync back into SAP S/4HANA with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Push aggregates computed in DuckDB out to a CRM or business tools so analysis results reach operational systems.
  • Use DuckDB as a transform step: read synced Parquet exports, aggregate with SQL, and write results back to an operational database.
  • Replicate material master and pricing data to e-commerce and quoting tools.
  • Feed S/4HANA financial and logistics documents into a data warehouse for reporting without custom ABAP extracts.

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the SAP S/4HANA interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

Updates in SAP S/4HANA arrive as row changes in DuckDB, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

Where SAP S/4HANA is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in DuckDB for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

What you can sync between DuckDB 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.

DuckDB objects SAP S/4HANA objects
Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize tables in sync outputs. Products / Materials Material master data distributed to e-commerce, PIM, and CRM catalogs.
Tables Columnar tables created via SQL; the destination for materialized sync data. Billing Documents (Invoices) Invoice data pushed to CRMs and payment or collections tools for finance visibility.
Views SQL views used to shape or filter data for downstream consumers. Deliveries Outbound delivery status synced to customer-facing systems for order tracking.
External files (Parquet/CSV/JSON) Files DuckDB queries in place without loading, common as a sync interchange format. Journal Entries Financial postings read into warehouses and consolidation tools for reporting.
Attached databases Additional database files or external systems attached into one session for cross-source queries. Customer / Supplier Roles Role-specific views of Business Partners mapped to CRM account types.
Database files Single-file .duckdb databases that jobs read and write directly on disk or object storage. Production Orders Manufacturing order status surfaced in planning and operations tools.
