What the domain reads

The SAP S/4HANA objects behind the golden record

Tables are read in place through the SAP connector, using released read interfaces and change capture where the basis team allows it. The rows stay in SAP.

The keys

How equipment and assets records match, in this system's fields

serial number and manufacturerasset tagfixed-asset numbermodel and installation site (fuzzy)

The first object above carries the strong keys; the standardised attributes come from the same rows. Serial numbers are strong keys within a manufacturer; asset tags are strong within a company; the two are reconciled with the fixed-asset register.

What is written back

Through the interfaces SAP S/4HANA supports

Writes go through released BAPIs and IDocs. Each call returns a document number or an error message, and Lima records both beside the change.

InterfaceUsed forResult
BAPI_EQUI_CREATE · BAPI_EQUI_CHANGE · BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CHANGEgolden values approved for write-back: identity; location and ownership; technicalthe id or error SAP S/4HANA returns, stored beside the change

Write-back is off per object until a test write succeeds, and approval rules can require a person per object. Reconciliation compares the source row with the golden value on a schedule.

Access and prerequisites

What is in place before the first build

SAP roles are mapped to Lima access policies once. A steward who sees purchasing organisation 1000 in SAP sees the same rows here.

Questions

Does this domain copy data out of SAP S/4HANA?

The golden record reads the objects above in place. History the pivot needs at scale is landed in your lake by the Backbone, under the same keys, security and audit.

What does the SAP S/4HANA team need to do?

Grant the read access and the write interfaces listed above and agree the refresh method. Nothing is installed in SAP S/4HANA.

Can we start with reads only?

Yes. Write-back stays off per object until a test write succeeds; the golden view, the API and the pivots work from day one on reads.

Bring two systems that hold the same customers, suppliers or materials. In one working day we connect them, run the match on live rows, review the queue with your steward and publish the first golden view with its API.
