SAP Integration

Purpose-built integration for SAP environments that understands your data structures, preserves referential integrity, and delivers protected test data without breaking business processes.

The SAP Data Challenge

Whether you are running SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, or SAP HANA-based landscapes, the fundamental data management challenge is the same: SAP environments present unique challenges for test data management that generic tools cannot address:

  • Complex, deeply interconnected data models with hundreds of tables spanning multiple functional areas

  • Implicit relationships not enforced at the database level, making it difficult to extract consistent subsets

  • Functional module boundaries that must be respected to produce usable test data

  • Sensitive business data spanning financial, HR, and operational domains that requires protection

  • Years of accumulated transactional history creating massive data volumes that are impractical to copy in full

What Synthesized Does

The Synthesized Platform provides SAP-native capabilities that address each of these challenges:

  • Understands SAP data structures and automatically maps relationships between tables, including those not defined by database constraints

  • Scopes data intelligently based on functional boundaries, separating master data (materials, vendors, customers) from transactional data (purchase orders, goods movements, invoices), so you get coherent subsets rather than random slices

  • Preserves referential integrity across related tables, ensuring dependent records are always included

  • Applies process-safe masking that protects sensitive fields while keeping SAP workflows functional

  • Supports time-based subsetting — transactional data is filtered by posting date, master data by creation date, giving you control over data volumes from large SAP ERP systems

How It Works

A guided workflow takes you from connection to protected test data in a few steps:

  1. Connect your SAP HANA database as a data source

  2. Select functional areas - choose which parts of SAP you need data from

  3. Choose your data scope - master data only, transactional data, or a full copy

  4. Optionally filter by date range to control data volume

  5. Dependent data is automatically included to maintain consistency across related tables

  6. Choose a protection level to mask sensitive fields while preserving business logic

  7. Run the workflow and get production-realistic test data

When transactional data is selected, related master data records are automatically pulled in regardless of their creation date — preserving referential integrity across all SAP tables.

Choosing the Right Scope

Select the scope that matches your testing environment:

Environment Recommended Approach

Development

Master data only — fast, minimal footprint

System Testing

Transactional data with a recent time window

UAT

Transactional data with a broader time window

Performance Testing

Transactional data with a full history, or full copy

Production Clone

Full copy — all master and transactional data
