What each tool sees on its ownShow less
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.
QuickBooks on its own
QuickBooks sees what was billed and paid. It has no idea which marketing produced the customer.
Timing. QuickBooks shows revenue when invoices and sales receipts are entered, which can trail the sale in a busy month.
Access. The QuickBooks Online Accounting API with read-only OAuth access.
