How It Works

  • 1. Connect Systems
  • 2. Cleanse, Enrich, & Standardize
  • 3. Validate Data
  • 4. Automate Execution
  • 5. Monitor & Control

1

Connect Systems
Natively connect to SAP ECC or S/4HANA using DataLark’s pre-built connectors based on BAPI, RFC, OData, and IDoc protocols. Easily extract master and transactional data such as customers, materials, orders, or invoices. You can also connect to cloud platforms, databases, and external applications without writing any custom code.

2

Cleanse, Enrich, & Standardize
Use drag‑and‑drop tools to cleanse invalid entries, remove duplicates, standardize formats, and enrich data from trusted sources. Apply transformation logic visually with no scripting required, fully aligned to your business rules.

3

Validate Data
Ensure transformed data meets internal and regulatory standards by applying validation rules. Simulate pipeline runs to catch errors before they go live and gain assurance that your SAP data is ready for its next destination.

4

Automate Execution
Schedule transformations to run on a recurring basis or trigger them from external systems. Built-in automation handles retries, error resolution, and conditional flows, reducing manual intervention and improving reliability.

5

Monitor & Control
Track every transformation with detailed logs and reports. Set up alerts for failures or anomalies, and continuously optimize your pipelines based on performance metrics and data quality insights.

Real-World SAP Transformation Scenarios

  • S/4HANA Migration Data Preparation
  • Multi-System Master Data Harmonization
  • Financial Data Transformation for Compliance

Challenge

A global manufacturing company needed to migrate 15 years of SAP ECC data to S/4HANA, including 2.3 million material masters with inconsistent descriptions, duplicate vendor records across 12 countries, and financial data with varying chart of accounts structures.

DataLark Solution

  • Automated material master deduplication using fuzzy matching algorithms, reducing 2.3M records to 1.8M clean materials.
  • Standardized vendor master data across purchasing organizations, consolidating vendors to unique entities.
  • Harmonized chart of accounts mapping from legacy GL structures to S/4HANA universal journal format.
  • Validated all transformations against S/4HANA data model requirements before migration.

Business Impact

4 months

6-month migration timeline reduced to 4 months

Challenge

A pharmaceutical company with SAP ECC in 4 countries needed to harmonize customer master data for global reporting, dealing with different naming conventions, address formats, and customer hierarchies across regions.

DataLark Solution

DataLark replaced the legacy mass maintenance tool, providing a modern, user-friendly platform to streamline data management processes. Key improvements included:

FAQ

  • Which SAP systems does DataLark support?

    DataLark supports both SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA environments, seamlessly integrating with core SAP modules such as MM (Materials Management), SD (Sales and Distribution), FI/CO (Financial Accounting and Controlling), PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), as well as other modules. It uses standard protocols like RFC, BAPI, and HTTP/OData for reliable data integration and smooth communication across systems.

  • Can I use DataLark to prepare data for S/4HANA migration?
    Yes. DataLark is widely used for preparing data for selective or full migrations to S/4HANA. You can extract, cleanse, enrich, and validate legacy SAP data before staging it for migration, ensuring better data quality and compliance.
  • How does DataLark validate transformed SAP data?
    DataLark lets you define rule-based validations, including field formats, mandatory values, referential integrity, and business logic checks. Simulations can be run before executing a pipeline to preview issues and resolve them proactively.
  • Can DataLark push data back into SAP systems?
    Yes. DataLark supports bidirectional integration. Transformed data can be written back into SAP using supported APIs and interfaces, depending on system permissions and integration patterns.
  • Is it possible to automate SAP data transformation workflows?
    Absolutely. Pipelines can be scheduled or triggered by external events like SAP jobs, file drops, or webhook/API calls. Built-in orchestration features support retries, conditional branching, and multi-step flows.
  • Do I need to write any code to transform SAP data with DataLark?
    No. DataLark’s platform is entirely no-code. You can define complex transformation logic, cleansing rules, and mappings using a visual interface. For advanced scenarios, optional scripting extensions are available — but never required.
  • Can this be used by business users, or is it only for IT teams?
    DataLark is designed for both technical and business users. The intuitive interface allows business analysts, data stewards, and domain experts to build and manage pipelines without needing developer support.
  • How do I monitor pipeline runs and errors?
    DataLark provides detailed execution logs and run histories for each pipeline. You can review success/failure statuses, timestamps, and error messages to understand what occurred during a run. Alerts can be configured to notify users in case of failures or anomalies. All run-level information is accessible for audit, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
