Why teams connect SAP Business ByDesign and TimescaleDB

Give your engineers SAP Business ByDesign'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 Materials / Products, Purchase Orders, Opportunities, Projects from SAP Business ByDesign into TimescaleDB and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever SAP Business ByDesign 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 Business ByDesign with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Consolidate metrics from several services into one hypertable to serve a single reporting layer.
  • Sync product or IoT telemetry stored in TimescaleDB into a CRM so account teams see usage metrics next to the customer record.
  • Sync ByDesign accounts and contacts with an external CRM so sales works outside the ERP while finance keeps the master record.
  • Create sales orders in ByDesign from e-commerce or CPQ systems and sync order and delivery status back.

Where SAP Business ByDesign 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 Business ByDesign, keeping the ERP authoritative.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from SAP Business ByDesign live in TimescaleDB as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

What you can sync between SAP Business ByDesign 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 Business ByDesign objects TimescaleDB objects
Customer Invoices Billing documents synced outward for collections and CRM visibility. Views Standard SQL views used to shape or filter data for consumers.
Materials / Products Item master data aligned with e-commerce and inventory systems. Schemas Postgres namespaces used to separate synced datasets by team or environment.
Purchase Orders Procurement documents exchanged with supplier systems. Hypertables Time-partitioned tables that hold the main time-series data; the primary read and write target in syncs.
Opportunities Built-in CRM records synced with external sales tools when both are in use. Chunks Time-bounded partitions of a hypertable; syncs read and write through the parent hypertable and never address chunks directly.
Projects Project structures and tasks read for time and billing integrations. Continuous Aggregates Incrementally maintained rollups that serve as pre-aggregated read sources for downstream systems.
Employees Worker records referenced by time, expense, and project data. Regular PostgreSQL Tables Relational reference data such as devices, tenants, or accounts synced alongside the series data.

How the SAP Business ByDesign and TimescaleDB connectors work

SAP Business ByDesign

Integration surface
SOAP web services plus OData services for analytical and custom data access
Authentication
Basic authentication over TLS for service users; OAuth-based options exist for certain scenarios
Change detection
Polling on last-changed timestamps; the platform does not offer a general webhook surface
Capabilities
read · write

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.
