Connect dbt and SAP with AI

Stop manually extracting SAP tables, writing one-off transformation scripts, and rebuilding the same financial hierarchies in SQL. Redbird AI syncs dbt models with SAP data structures, automates ERP data ingestion, and keeps your warehouse and production systems aligned.

What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Extract SAP financial hierarchies and load into dbt staging models automatically

Pull chart of accounts, cost center structures, and P&L hierarchies from SAP into your warehouse. Redbird maps SAP tables to dbt staging models, handles incremental loads, and triggers dbt runs when source data changes.

Transform SAP transactional data into dbt marts for finance and operations reporting

Automatically extract order, invoice, and inventory transactions from SAP modules. Redbird creates dbt models that mirror SAP table relationships, apply business logic transformations, and maintain referential integrity across your analytical layer.

Sync validated dbt metric outputs back to SAP for operational planning

Push tested forecast models, calculated KPIs, and aggregated metrics from dbt back into SAP planning tables. Redbird ensures only models passing dbt tests update production, and tracks lineage between analytical and operational systems.

Alert finance teams when dbt model tests fail on SAP source data

Monitor dbt test results for models built on SAP extracts and notify stakeholders immediately when data quality issues surface. Redbird identifies which SAP tables or modules caused failures and routes alerts to the right teams.

Enrich SAP master data with analytics from dbt dimension models

Augment SAP customer, vendor, and material masters with calculated attributes from your dbt semantic layer. Redbird syncs enriched dimensions back to SAP, enabling operational teams to use analytics-grade classifications in daily workflows.

Generate executive reports combining dbt-modeled SAP data with external sources

Automatically build consolidated reports merging SAP financials transformed through dbt with CRM, marketing, and external market data. Redbird orchestrates the full pipeline from SAP extraction through dbt transformation to final report delivery.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize dbt and SAP with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird understands both dbt's DAG-based transformation architecture and SAP's complex table schemas, so you can automate data flows between analytics and ERP without middleware expertise.

AI that reads dbt models and SAP table structures

Redbird's AI parses dbt YAML manifests, understands model dependencies and lineage, and interprets SAP table relationships across modules like FICO, MM, SD, and PP. It automatically maps SAP fields to dbt source definitions, suggests appropriate data types and tests, identifies foreign key relationships between SAP tables, and generates incremental load strategies based on SAP transaction patterns. No custom extractors or manual schema mapping required.

10×

faster than building custom SAP extractors and dbt source configurations

No BAPI wrappers, RFC modules, or manual YAML authoring for each SAP table

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from dbt and SAP simultaneously, merge the results, and format a polished report — sent on a schedule or on demand.

Trigger-based alerts

Set conditions in natural language. Get notified in Slack or email the moment a threshold is crossed in either dbt or SAP.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Data flows encrypted in transit and at rest. Fine-grained permission controls with full audit logs.

Bidirectional sync

Push data from dbt into SAP, or from SAP back into dbt. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Full audit trail

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.

Triggers & actions for every team

Start automations from dbt model runs, test results, or SAP transaction updates — then take action in either system based on your business logic.
