This article is an overview of different approaches to connect SAP with Pigment.

Pigment SAP S/4HANA Cloud connector

If you are using SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud version, you can use the Pigment native connector to load data exposed through SAP ODATA v2 APIs and seamlessly schedule data synchronization.

The article below explains how to configure a SAP connection and how to import data into Pigment using this connection:

CSV export

You can configure scheduled CSV exports from SAP and store the outputs either on an SFTP server or in a file storage service in the cloud. This is usually the easiest setup to get started, but might not be the most flexible (see “ETL and iPaaS” below for more advanced solutions).

Import from SFTP server

Once the CSV export is configured on the SAP side and is stored on your SFTP server, you can import directly from Pigment using the native connector.

The article below explains how to connect an SFTP server with your Pigment workspace to import any CSV file:

Import from a cloud file storage service

Once the CSV export is configured on the SAP side and is stored on your cloud storage, you can import directly from Pigment using a native connector.

These articles explain how to connect popular cloud storage services with your Pigment workspace to import any CSV file:

	Connect Pigment with AWS S3
	Connect Pigment with Google Cloud Storage
	Connect Pigment with Azure Blob Storage

ETL and iPaaS

Below is a non-exhaustive list of third-party solutions that can be implemented to export SAP data and import it into Pigment.

Workato (recommended)

With Workato, there is a pre-built connector directly within the platform which supports both SAP (with HANA or OData) and Pigment. This means that you can use Workato’s features to build complex data flows including transformations:

Fivetran

Similar to MuleSoft, Fivetran offers several SAP connectors to export data from the ERP to popular data lake or data warehouse services. For a list of these SAP connectors, check out the Fivetran documentation here.

Once the export is configured, to import the data you can use one of Pigment’s native connectors for file storage services (see the list above) as well as the following data lake and data warehouse solutions:

	Connect Pigment with Google BigQuery
	Connect Pigment with Amazon Redshift
	Connect Pigment with Azure SQL

Pigment API

If you already have API-based integrations or want the maximum flexibility, you can also use Pigment’s import API which takes a CSV payload as input and can be called from anywhere:
