Why teams connect SAP and TimescaleDB

Give your engineers SAP's data in TimescaleDB: 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 Outbound Deliveries, Billing Documents, GL Accounts and Journal Entries, Production Orders from SAP into TimescaleDB and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever SAP is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in TimescaleDB sync back into SAP with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Replicate subscription and billing events from operational Postgres tables into Timescale hypertables for time-series analysis.
  • Keep device or asset reference tables bi-directionally in sync between TimescaleDB and an ERP.
  • Expose sales order and delivery status to customer portals through a synced Postgres database instead of direct SAP access.
  • Publish plant-level inventory to e-commerce and planning systems on change or on schedule.

React to ERP changes

Updates in SAP arrive as row changes in TimescaleDB, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

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

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

Controlled write-back

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

What you can sync between SAP and TimescaleDB

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.

SAP objects TimescaleDB objects
Purchase Orders Procurement documents synced with supplier portals and spend tools. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers.
Outbound Deliveries Shipment documents synced to WMS, carriers, and customer portals. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment.
Billing Documents Invoices read for AR status and replicated for revenue reporting. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs.
GL Accounts and Journal Entries Financial postings replicated to warehouses for group finance analytics. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly.
Production Orders Manufacturing orders exchanged with MES and scheduling systems. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems.
Inventory / Stock Plant and storage-location quantities synced to storefronts and planning tools. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data.

No-code + pro-code

Workflow automation

Trigger automated workflows whenever SAP or TimescaleDB data changes, update records, fire webhooks, or kick off sequences without brittle API scripts.

At scale

Event queues

Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single SAP or TimescaleDB record.

Observability

Monitoring

Track your SAP ⇄ TimescaleDB sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.

Trading partners

EDI

Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between SAP and TimescaleDB.

How the SAP and TimescaleDB connectors work

SAP

Integration surface
OData (v2/v4) APIs on S/4HANA; BAPI/RFC and IDoc on ECC and on-prem systems; SOAP services
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 or basic auth via communication arrangements on cloud editions; SAP user credentials for RFC on-prem
Change detection
Business events via SAP Event Mesh on S/4HANA; change pointers with IDocs or timestamp polling on ECC
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Throttling is configured at the gateway and tenant level rather than as a single published rate limit

TimescaleDB

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (PostgreSQL)
Authentication
Database credentials
Change detection
Log-based capture via PostgreSQL logical decoding where the deployment allows it — hypertable changes surface on the underlying chunk tables and must be remapped to the parent — or timestamp-based polling on time columns; regular Postgres tables replicate through standard logical replication
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by database resources and connection limits.
