DC6SAP S/4HANA: data that comes in

Select any card above to switch tool. 45 fields documented, status per field.

From knowledgeERP & financeAccess: Admin-issued credentialsOpen API docs

API: OData (API_JOURNALENTRYITEMBASIC_SRV, API_OPLACCTGDOCITEMCUBE_SRV, API_COSTCENTER_SRV, API_BILLING_DOCUMENT_SRV, API_SALES_ORDER_SRV)
Authentication: Cloud: communication arrangement with communication user (Basic) or OAuth 2.0. On-premise: SAP Gateway with Basic, OAuth 2.0 (SAML bearer) or X.509.
Access and approval: Compass IT must issue a read-only communication user and activate the services (for example in /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE on-premise). Exact communication scenario IDs are unconfirmed.
Connection effort: HardTenant-specific services, mapping of GL accounts and profit centres, unclear planning API and possibly a BW or Datasphere layer in between.

Notes and limitations

SAP and Salesforce docs could not be fetched in the research session, so nearly all SAP field names come from knowledge. Check them against $metadata of the real tenant or the SAP Business Accelerator Hub.
A_JournalEntryItemBasic reads ACDOCA (Universal Journal). Items that exist only in BSEG are not included.
Margin per contract only works if contracts have their own profit centre or WBS element. Unconfirmed.
Budget or plan data: the API is unclear (Planning data API versus an SAP Analytics Cloud export). Unconfirmed.
Group reporting is often extracted via Datasphere or BW, in which case OData is not the source.
Rate limits: no fixed public figure. Use $top and $skip, $select and delta on PostingDate, and run a nightly batch.

DC7Assumed stack: to validate with Nico

This stack is an assumption based on what is common at group subsidiaries in contract catering. Nothing here is confirmed by Compass Group Luxembourg.

Domain	Assumed tool	Why	Alternatives to check
ERP and finance	SAP S/4HANA (Finance, Controlling, AR/AP)	Common at group subsidiaries of this size.	Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, a group-level consolidation layer (Datasphere, BW)
HR master data	SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central	HR stack that fits next to SAP.	Workday, a Luxembourg payroll provider as the only source
Planning and time registration	Quinyx	Workforce management for shift work (catering, cleaning).	Kelio, Workday Time Tracking, UKG, an in-house tool
Procurement	Coupa	Spend management at large service providers.	SAP Ariba, a module in the ERP, Apicbase only for food
CRM, tenders, contracts	Salesforce Sales Cloud	Contract portfolio, renewals and tenders.	Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, a contract register in the ERP or in Excel
Point of sale (staff restaurants)	Oracle MICROS Simphony	Standard in contract catering.	Lightspeed, another local POS, invoicing by contract without a POS
Recipes, food cost, stock	Apicbase	Benelux presence, recipe costing and purchasing per site.	Another recipe and stock tool, Excel, SAP stock
Food waste	Winnow or Leanpath	Compass works with both worldwide.	Manual weighing sheets, a group-level platform
Quality and safety (audits)	SafetyCulture (iAuditor)	Inspections for cleaning and HACCP, incidents.	A group audit tool, Excel and paper, Power Apps
Vending	Nayax	Telemetry and sales per machine.	Another telemetry provider (for example Cantaloupe or Evoca), operator back office
Customer satisfaction	HappyOrNot	Smiley terminals in restaurants.	Survey tools, QR feedback, no structured feedback

Five questions for Nico

ERP and planning: which ERP holds the ledger (SAP S/4HANA Cloud or on-premise, or Dynamics 365 or Oracle), and does the budget live in the ERP, in SAP Analytics Cloud or in Excel?
HR, payroll and time: is SuccessFactors really the HR master, which tool schedules and records hours (Quinyx, Kelio or other), and where is sickness absence registered (payroll, CNS, HR system)?
Contracts: do contracts have their own profit centre or WBS element, and is Salesforce (or another CRM or register) the source for renewals and tenders?
Operations: which of Simphony, Apicbase, Winnow or Leanpath, SafetyCulture, Nayax and HappyOrNot does Luxembourg itself use, and which data sits only on group-level Compass platforms?
Access and governance: who issues API credentials (local IT or Compass group), and may the data leave the Compass environment (GDPR, hosting location)?

DC9Connection effort

A rough estimate per tool based on authentication, approval, rate limits and open questions. Not a quote.

Domain	Effort	Access	Reason
ERP & finance	Hard	Admin-issued credentials	Tenant-specific services, mapping of GL accounts and profit centres, unclear planning API and possibly a BW or Datasphere layer in between.
HR	Medium	Admin-issued credentials	Standard OAuth and good OData, but permissions per entity, GDPR handling and the open question where absence data lives.
Workforce planning	Medium	Admin-issued credentials	Good public docs and OAuth, but licence-gated modules, unclear v3 shift fields and a rate source needed from HR or payroll.
Procurement	Medium	Admin-issued credentials	Clear OAuth and scopes, but 50 records per page, contractual rate limits and payment data that lives elsewhere.
CRM & contracts	Easy	Admin-issued credentials	Well-known REST API and SOQL, JWT auth and generous limits. Only the custom fields and the ACV definition need agreement.
Point of sale	Medium	Admin-issued credentials	Well documented BI API with PKCE, but account setup by Compass IT, a version that is unknown and unreliable covers.
Food & recipes	Medium	Add-on or licence	Clear OAuth and modules, but an extra paid API module, unconfirmed JSON keys and a recipe mapping to the POS.
Food waste	Hard	Vendor on request	No public API: depends on vendor cooperation or file exports, and Compass may run both tools across sites.
Quality & safety	Easy	Admin-issued credentials	Bearer token, a documented Feed API with incremental sync and workable rate limits. Only column names need a check.
Vending	Medium	Add-on or licence	Simple Bearer auth and verified machine and sales fields, but limited history and unverified inventory data.
Customer feedback	Easy	Add-on or licence	Simple token auth and JSON, but an add-on must be activated and the feedback fields still need to be confirmed.
Facility management	Hard	Client-side system	The system belongs to the customer: depends on contract and goodwill, with no standard Compass access.
