SAP S/4HANA

Monk connects to SAP S/4HANA Cloud (Public Edition) through SAP’s standard OData APIs. The integration reads business partners, AR invoices, payments, credit memos, and the clearing links between them using stock SAP APIs — no custom ABAP or add-on is required.

Supported entities

​
Authentication

  • Connect from Integrations → SAP S/4HANA in Monk by entering your OData base URL and an SAP API key issued through the SAP API Business Hub or your communication arrangement.
  • Monk validates the URL is public HTTPS and probes the company-code service before saving anything.
  • Credentials are stored encrypted; nothing is persisted if the connection test fails.

​
Multi-entity, currency, and parent-child

  • Company codes: During setup Monk lists the company codes in your tenant and you select exactly one for the Monk org. Connect additional Monk orgs for additional company codes.
  • Currency: Amounts are read in transaction currency with their sign normalized (invoices positive, payments negative in SAP). Monk applies payments in the invoice currency.
  • Payment application: SAP links payments to invoices through clearing documents rather than a direct reference. Monk reconstructs one-payment-to-many- invoice applications from the clearing document so partial and bulk payments land correctly.
  • Customer hierarchy: Business partners are imported as top-level customers.

​
Configuration options

  • Company code selection: pick the company code to associate with this Monk org.
  • Customer scoping: sync all customers, only a named allowlist of business partners, or exclude specific business partner IDs.
  • Historical cutover date: limit how far back Monk imports invoices and payments.
  • Payment sync: enable or disable synchronization of payment records.
  • Auto-import: enable or disable automatic import of new SAP invoices and customers.

​
Sync and reliability

  • Incremental sync cursored on SAP’s LastChangeDate.
  • Business partner reads are paged and batched to stay within SAP API quotas; a customer allowlist is pushed down into the SAP query so scoped syncs stay small.
  • Automatic retry with backoff on SAP rate limits and transient errors.
