Guidance on Monthly Financial Data Upload to S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Dear Finance and Technical Experts,

I would greatly appreciate your suggestions and insights regarding the monthly upload of financial data into SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition (2SL) from Oracle NetSuite, which is used by another company within the same corporate group.

We are looking for best practices not only from a technical implementation perspective but also in terms of financial accuracy and audit compliance.

Background and Constraints:

  • NetSuite is an audit-compliant ERP system and already performs tax calculations.
  • The extracted journal entry item-level data includes tax information, so recalculating taxes in SAP must be avoided.
  • The source data contains over 40,000 journal entry lines per month, and uploading the full dataset can take 3–5 hours, which is not acceptable due to performance constraints.

Our current approach:

  • Instead of uploading item-level journal entries, we are planning to upload summary-level data by G/L account.

Request:

  • Do you see any concerns or potential risks with this summary-data upload approach?
  • Are there any technical or financial integrity issues we should be aware of?
  • What best practices would you recommend to ensure accurate and efficient integration?

Your experience and guidance would be very helpful. Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Takashi

Hello @focustakashi 

Uploading summary-level financial data by G/L account is a standard best practice in intercompany integrations, especially when tax has already been calculated in the source system. 

  • Use the "Journal Entry – Post (API_JOURNALENTRY_SRV)" API for automated, secure posting.
  • Leverage SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition's extensibility to tag entries with source identifiers or reference documents.
  • Document mapping logic and reconciliation procedures as part of your internal controls framework.
