Data Federation & Regional Availability

Your data, wherever you do business

SAP Business Network on BTP uses data federation to let every regional deployment work together as a single unified network - without your sensitive data ever leaving your region.

Your Data, Wherever You Do Business

SAP Business Network is moving to SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). One of the biggest advantages of this migration is data federation — the technology that lets every regional deployment work together as a single, unified network, without your sensitive data ever leaving your region.

When you search for a supplier registered in another region, federation finds them instantly and lets you transact seamlessly — without your transaction records, financial data, or compliance logs ever crossing a border.

What’s Shared Globally, What Stays with You

Not all data behaves the same way. The table below shows exactly what federation shares across regions and what stays locked to yours.

🌎 Shared Globally

🏠 Stays In Your Region

Trading partner profiles (company names, addresses)

Purchase orders, invoices, and confirmations

Product catalogs

Financial records and audit trails

Search results

User accounts and permissions

Business rules and configurations

Compliance and audit logs

Data that helps you find and work with partners anywhere is shared. Data that’s specific to your business — transactions, financials, compliance records — stays local. You always own and control your regional data.

Working With Trading Partners in Other Regions

You create a purchase order exactly as you would for a local supplier — no extra steps. The network automatically identifies your supplier’s region (chosen by new suppliers during registration) and routes the document securely.

<30 sec

Delivery confirmed, 99% of the time. Routing happens automatically with no action required from you.

Zero loss

If a regional system is temporarily unavailable, the network retries automatically — nothing is ever lost.

Kept Secure, Automatically

Every connection between regions is verified before any data crosses a border. Credentials are managed and rotated automatically by SAP — there is nothing for your team to configure or maintain. For complete details, refer to the SAP Trust Center.

Zero-touch credential management

SAP handles all cross-region authentication, key rotation, and connection verification automatically. Your security posture is maintained without any manual steps from your team.

Next Steps
