Why teams connect Front and SAP S/4HANA

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Front and SAP S/4HANA.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Front is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Comments, Contacts, Accounts, Inboxes in Front with Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Products / Materials, Billing Documents (Invoices) in SAP S/4HANA bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • Sync conversations, messages, and tags into Postgres for response-time and volume analytics across inboxes.
  • Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
  • 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.

Where Front faces customers and SAP S/4HANA carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from SAP S/4HANA appears alongside the customer in Front, so front-line teams answer from live data.

Where SAP S/4HANA is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from SAP S/4HANA stays current in Front, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.

What you can sync between Front 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.

Front objects SAP S/4HANA objects
Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. Billing Documents (Invoices) Invoice data pushed to CRMs and payment or collections tools for finance visibility.
Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. Deliveries Outbound delivery status synced to customer-facing systems for order tracking.
Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. Journal Entries Financial postings read into warehouses and consolidation tools for reporting.
Contacts People across channels; matched to CRM contacts, with custom fields carrying external context. Customer / Supplier Roles Role-specific views of Business Partners mapped to CRM account types.
Accounts Company groupings of contacts; kept aligned with CRM accounts. Production Orders Manufacturing order status surfaced in planning and operations tools.
Inboxes Shared queues that conversations live in; used to segment reporting by team or channel. Business Partners Unified customer and supplier master records, the anchor entity for CRM-to-ERP account syncs.
