Sources.
“The leading solution.” “Everything from one source.” – Software advertising promises a lot and proves little. We turn that around: every statement on this website has a source. Product statements are backed by the measured state of our product and shown in the demo, SAP statements by SAP’s pages, vendor statements by the vendors’ pages.
It is a habit from the Tailor family: no posting without a voucher, no voucher without a source. And whoever claims first place has to be especially verifiable1.
Product
One record, history instead of overwrites
Time-dependent master data (organisation, periods, programmes, module groups, modules) carries valid-from and valid-to and is superseded, not overwritten; there are no hard deletes. Each tenant has its own HDI container; a full per-tenant export exists.

SAP BTP, CAP, MTX, HANA Cloud
Runtime SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (Node.js, TypeScript, OData V4) on SAP BTP Cloud Foundry, multi-tenancy with SAP MTX and one HDI container per tenant in SAP HANA Cloud, shipped as an MTA; tenant upgrades run before a new version starts.

Posting to SAP S/4HANA via outbox
Receivables, payment status, business partners and disbursements go through an outbox to SAP S/4HANA (destinations for FI-AR and FI-CA), with up to 20 attempts, staggered back-off and a circuit breaker per tenant. No synchronous call to S/4 from a user action. A simulation adapter exists for testing. Today the outbox is drained on call; scheduling via the SAP BTP Job Scheduling Service is roadmap.

In production, sign-in via SAP Cloud Identity Services (IAS), attributes via the Authorization Management Service (AMS); XSUAA remains provisioned as fallback. Verification with a real IAS token in a customer system is still pending.
