Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Pimcore 12<\/a> SAP S\/4HANA Connector keeps your catalog and business data in sync between Pimcore and SAP S\/4HANA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It syncs products, categories, customers, orders, stock, prices, and media automatically, in both directions. Moreover, every sync runs as a background job inside Pimcore Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, keeping your product data and ERP records aligned is faster and far more reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copying products and business-partner records between Pimcore and SAP by hand doesn’t scale. So Webkul built the Pimcore 12 SAP S\/4HANA Connector to remove the copy-paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It bridges your Pimcore data model and your SAP S\/4HANA system over the SAP OData APIs<\/a> (API_PRODUCT_SRV<\/code>, API_BUSINESS_PARTNER<\/code>, API_SALES_ORDER_SRV<\/code>, and more). As a result, products, categories, customers, and orders all flow automatically, in both directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s built natively for Pimcore 12 and SAP S\/4HANA. Also, it brings two big upgrades. First, every sync runs as a restartable background job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So large data sets no longer block your screen or time out. Meanwhile, you watch each run on a live progress view. Second, it’s bidirectional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It both imports from and exports to SAP. Because of that, you can seed Pimcore from an existing S\/4HANA system, then push curated changes back out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pimcore 12 SAP S\/4HANA Connector also lives natively inside the new Pimcore Studio UI<\/a>. Furthermore, it adds its own screens for credentials, mapping, and the job runner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there are no separate tools to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Server Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The connector runs on top of a standard Pimcore 12 install, so if Pimcore runs, the connector runs. Here is what that stack needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Component<\/th>Requirement<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
PHP<\/td>8.4 or 8.5 (CLI + FPM), with pdo_mysql, intl, mbstring, curl, gd \/ imagick, zip, exif, opcache<\/td><\/tr>
Symfony<\/td>7.4 (installed as a Pimcore dependency)<\/td><\/tr>
Pimcore<\/td>Pimcore 12 \u2014 Platform 2026.1 (pimcore\/pimcore: 2026.1.x) with the Studio UI bundle<\/td><\/tr>
Database<\/td>MariaDB 10.11+ or MySQL 8.0+<\/td><\/tr>
Web server<\/td>Nginx or Apache 2.4<\/td><\/tr>
Composer<\/td>Composer 2<\/a><\/td><\/tr>
Node.js<\/td>22+ \u2014 only if you rebuild the Studio UI assets yourself<\/td><\/tr>
Message queue<\/td>A running Symfony Messenger<\/a> worker (Supervisor<\/a> is recommended) \u2014 this is what drives the background sync jobs<\/td><\/tr>
SAP S\/4HANA<\/td>An S\/4HANA system exposing the OData APIs, reachable from the Pimcore server over HTTPS, with either an OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials<\/strong> service key or an SAP Business Accelerator Hub<\/a> sandbox APIKey<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A few PHP settings matter for large data sets. So set memory_limit<\/code> to at least 512M (1G for big imports), and raise max_execution_time<\/code> for the CLI. Because the syncs run in the background, the web request itself never has to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
