Which marketing brings in paying customers?
Every ad platform takes credit for the same customer. Google, Meta and your email tool can each claim one booking, and they cannot all be right. You need one count you can trust.

What revenue attribution uses from each
Revenue attribution needs a way to connect a touchpoint to a payment.
From Meta Ads that means the fbclid on the click and the campaign tags on the URL. From SAP it means invoiced amounts by customer account.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Meta Ads on its own
Meta sees who saw and clicked an ad. It cannot see a sale its pixel missed, and lead-form contacts stop being visible to it once they leave Facebook or Instagram.
Timing. Meta reports conversions under its own attribution setting, seven days after a click and one day after a view by default.
Access. The Meta Marketing API with read access to the ad account.
SAP on its own
SAP holds the booked order, the invoice and the customer master. It has no record of the marketing that produced the order.
Timing. SAP data usually reaches outside systems in scheduled extracts, so it runs as current as the extract schedule your ERP team sets.
Access. Read-only OData services or scheduled exports set up with your ERP team.
