What root cause analysis uses from each

Root cause analysis needs timestamps precise enough to put events in order.

From SAP that means delivery dates, credit blocks and cancellations. From TikTok Ads it means creative fatigue by ad and date.

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.

TikTok Ads on its own

TikTok sees views, clicks and the conversions its pixel catches. It cannot see what happens after a visitor leaves the tracked site.

Timing. TikTok reports conversions under the attribution windows chosen in the ad account, and those counts can include view-through conversions.

Access. The TikTok Marketing API with read access to the ad account.
