Why teams connect SAP Business ByDesign and Workday

Keep Workday and SAP Business ByDesign agreeing on customers, invoices, and balances, whether they split the finance workload or one is replacing the other.

A dedicated finance tool and an ERP end up side by side for practical reasons: a subsidiary runs lighter software than headquarters, billing runs in a specialist system while the enterprise system holds the wider view, or the company is mid-migration and both are live. Whatever the split, the two systems describe overlapping customers and transactions, and that overlap drifts without a live connection.

Stacksync syncs Workers, Organizations, Positions, Compensation in Workday with Sales Orders, Customer Invoices, Materials / Products, Purchase Orders in SAP Business ByDesign in real time and in both directions. You decide which system wins on which field, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
  • Replicate customer invoices into a reporting database or collections tool without manual exports.
  • Align the ByDesign material master with external product catalogs and inventory systems.

One customer and vendor master

Where both systems keep records of the same organizations, corrections made in either propagate to the other.

Subsidiary to headquarters

Where Workday serves a business unit and SAP Business ByDesign is the group system, transactions and customer records roll up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

Where Workday handles billing: invoices land in SAP Business ByDesign

Invoices and payment activity from the billing side post through to the enterprise system automatically.
