SAP Integration with Microsoft Fabric
Microsoft Fabric provides an end-to-end analytics and data platform for data movement, processing, ingestion, transformation, real-time event routing, and reporting. Our Microsoft Fabric SAP Connector, Xtract Universal, transfers data from SAP ERP, SAP BW, BW/4HANA, and S/4HANA directly into OneLake, Azure SQL, or Synapse Analytics. You update data incrementally, leverage Open Mirroring, and use flexible ODP alternatives, ensuring SAP data integrates efficiently, remains current, and requires no manual adjustments in Microsoft Fabric.

Integrating SAP data into Microsoft Fabric involves several key factors:
- Real-time processing of large datasets: Critical business data from finance, logistics, or sales needs to be available almost instantly.
- Complex data structures: High volumes and diverse SAP objects complicate integration.
- ODP limitations: SAP Note 3255746 restricts the use of ODP Data Replication APIs for ABAP sources, which may require adapting or redesigning existing workflows.
Companies need a solution that reliably extracts, processes, and transfers SAP data into Microsoft Fabric without disrupting existing processes, enabling real-time analysis.

Rely on a central data foundation with Microsoft Fabric – for data-driven strategies that impress.
Your Advanages with Xtract Universal
Our customer LANXESS has aligned its digitalization strategy with Microsoft Azure and required an efficient solution for transferring data from SAP ERP and BW systems. With Xtract Universal, a powerful interface was implemented, enabling automated bulk data extraction. Over 500 employees benefit from fast, incremental data transfers, which are crucial for timely, data-driven decisions.

When we build an extraction once, it runs automatically as many times as needed. Since many of our projects require SAP data multiple times a day, this brings a huge time advantage. Furthermore, Xtract Universal allows bulk data to be extracted extremely quickly and incrementally. This is crucial, for example, for retrieving the SAP table BSEG (accounting documents) to provide consuming applications with up-to-date data.
Application Scenarios
Replicating SAP data into OneLake offers a range of benefits specifically designed to help departments and teams manage, analyze, and gain deeper insights from their data more efficiently while reducing costs and ensuring data security.
Some of these benefits include:
The controlling team of a company faces the daily challenge of quickly and accurately evaluating financial metrics to make informed budget decisions. With Xtract Universal, the controlling staff can replicate SAP data directly into OneLake. This provides them with real-time access to current and historical financial data, enabling them to analyze it instantly. As a result, they can immediately identify areas for cost savings or areas requiring investment, leading to improved financial planning and decision-making.
A sales team distributed across multiple regions needs constant access to up-to-date customer data and sales statistics to develop targeted sales strategies. By replicating SAP data into OneLake with Xtract Universal, sales employees can access the required information anytime and across various devices and platforms. Whether in the office, on the field, or on the go, they can always view current sales figures, analyze customer histories, and adjust sales strategies to achieve their goals.
The IT department is usually responsible for enterprise-wide data management and system administration, ensuring that data is efficiently, securely, and cost-effectively managed. By centrally storing SAP data in OneLake with Xtract Universal, the IT team can avoid redundant data storage and reduce associated storage and management costs. Additionally, administrative effort is reduced as fewer systems and storage locations need to be managed, enhancing IT team efficiency and freeing up resources for other strategic IT projects.
With Xtract Universal and the storage of SAP data in OneLake, compliance officers can ensure that all company data meets the highest security standards. OneLake’s built-in security features protect data from unauthorized access, allowing the team to quickly and easily provide any necessary evidence during audits. This not only strengthens regulatory compliance but also reduces the risk of compliance violations
