Why teams connect SAP Business ByDesign and SAP S/4HANA

Two ERPs, one set of facts: Stacksync keeps SAP Business ByDesign and SAP S/4HANA consistent in real time, whether they split the business or one is replacing the other.

Companies run two ERPs for structural reasons: a two-tier setup with subsidiaries on lighter systems, an acquisition that brought its own stack, a split by function or region, or a migration that will take quarters. In all of these, some of the same organizations, people, and transactions exist in both systems, and keeping them aligned by hand is a standing tax on the back office.

Stacksync syncs Purchase Orders, Opportunities, Projects, Employees in SAP Business ByDesign with Deliveries, Journal Entries, Customer / Supplier Roles, Production Orders in SAP S/4HANA bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping across the two data models and conflict rules you define. A record changed in either system is reflected in the other within seconds, not at the next interface run.

Common use cases

  • Align the ByDesign material master with external product catalogs and inventory systems.
  • Sync project and time data with external professional-services tools for billing.
  • Keep supplier records aligned between S/4HANA procurement and third-party spend platforms.
  • Push closed-won CRM opportunities into S/4HANA as sales orders without manual re-keying.

Shared master data

Where both systems keep records of the same customers, suppliers, or organizations, a correction in either updates the other.

Split by function

Where one system is the people or finance suite and the other runs operations, the records both sides depend on, such as organizations, cost centers, and reference data, stay in agreement.

Two-tier roll-up

Where subsidiaries run one system and headquarters runs the other, shared records and transactions flow up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.
