INTEGRATION · SAP

Connecting SAP to your Source to Pay platform.

SAP holds the spend data. Getting it out, in a shape a Source to Pay platform can use, is where the schedule goes.

What makes SAP integration hard

Not a list of features. These are the things that cost time on real SAP projects.

Spend data is split across modules

Financial Accounting, Materials Management and Sales and Distribution each hold part of the picture. Integrating them means understanding both the source and target data structures well enough to know which module is authoritative for each field.

Every module has its own data model

Modules carry their own workflows and interdependencies. In-house teams usually underestimate the integration points between them, which surfaces as repeated testing cycles rather than as a single clean cutover.

Near real-time synchronisation is a volume problem

SAP's data volume and structure make continuous flow genuinely difficult. It needs middleware and data pipelines built for the throughput, not a nightly file drop relabelled as an integration.

Customisation has to be carried across

SAP is built to be customised, so the integration has to handle whatever was customised. That needs someone who understands the business process as well as the interface.

Proprietary formats rarely match

SAP's structures almost never line up with a Source to Pay platform's. Detailed mapping and transformation rules are the work, and where data integrity is won or lost.

HOW WE RUN IT

Delivered as a managed service, not a handover.

We build the integration, then run it — monitoring, error handling and support against agreed service levels. Integrations break when a source system changes, and somebody has to be watching when that happens.
