SAP S/4HANA is the leading ERP system for Finance, Supply Chain and Materials Management. Dun & Bradstreet provides globally validated business data for master data enrichment, compliance and risk management. 91% of data in enterprise systems is incomplete, 70% becomes outdated within one year.
The SAP S/4HANA Dun & Bradstreet Integration ensures your Business Partners are always enriched with current, validated data. Compliance requirements such as KYC, AML and ESG are fulfilled automatically, risks are identified early and credit decisions are made on a solid foundation. Real-time monitoring informs you immediately about changes to your business partners.
The integration solves central challenges in Master Data Management and compliance.
Automatically validate and enrich business partners. When creating a new Business Partner, name, address and industry are validated via the DUNS number and enriched with D&B master data. Duplicates are detected before they occur. Your sales staff work with verified, complete data.
Compliance data for KYC and AML directly in SAP. Ultimate Beneficial Owner, Sanctions Screening and ESG Scores are automatically loaded for each business partner. Your compliance team has all relevant information at a glance and can fulfill legal requirements without manual effort.
Assign credit limits based on current risk assessments. Financial Risk Assessments from D&B flow into your credit decisions. You see ratings, scores and payment behavior before entering business relationships. Fewer defaults, better working capital management.
Activate monitoring and receive changes immediately. Once a Business Partner is linked with a DUNS, you can activate monitoring. When something changes at D&B (insolvency, restructuring, new risk assessment), your SAP system is automatically updated. You react proactively, not reactively.
Identify potential new customers via Criteria Search. With D&B’s Criteria Search you find companies by industry, size, region or revenue. The results are created directly as new Business Partners in SAP. Sales and marketing can target qualified leads specifically.
Use Identity Resolution for incomplete information. When the exact company name is missing, Identity Resolution suggests the most likely matches. You work with statistical matching and find the right business partner even with incomplete input data.
The use cases on this page are not theoretical, but implementing them requires experience. You can set up integration and data management yourself through MARINI’s no-code interface, or have our team configure it for you. For implementation in your systems, we work collaboratively with you and your service providers. If you don’t yet have a suitable service provider, we’re happy to recommend an appropriate partner from our network.

Minimize compliance risks and increase audit security. With automated KYC and AML verification, you fulfill legal requirements without manual processes. Ultimate Beneficial Owner and Sanctions Screening are stored for every business partner. In audits, you demonstrate complete documentation and avoid fines.

With D&B as an external validation source, you create a single source of truth for all business partners. This increases data quality throughout the SAP system and all connected systems.

Create business partners correctly in seconds instead of researching for hours. Before: Google the name, type in the address, guess the industry, manually check for duplicates. Today: Enter DUNS number or use Type-Ahead Search, all data automatically validated and complete. Sales focuses on customer relationships, not data maintenance.
Make credit decisions without waiting for Finance. You see ratings, scores and payment behavior directly in the Business Partner record. No more emails to Controlling, no waiting times. You can create quotes faster and approve orders because the risk assessment is already available.
React proactively to customer changes instead of being surprised. Monitoring automatically informs you when something changes with a business partner. Insolvency, restructuring, new CEO: You learn about it in real time and can act before problems arise. Customer Success can have conversations early.
Target new customer acquisition with Criteria Search. You search for companies by industry, size and region and create qualified leads directly in SAP. Marketing campaigns become more precise, sales works with pre-qualified contacts. Conversion rates increase because you’re targeting the right companies.

API integration without installation in SAP. The MARINI DataEngine connects to your SAP S/4HANA system via OData or RFC. You only need an API user and read permissions on Business Partner objects. Nothing is installed in SAP, no modifications to the standard required. On-premise and cloud variants are equally supported.
Flexible mapping to all D&B Data Blocks. You decide which Data Blocks (Master Data, Compliance, Financial Risk, ESG) you subscribe to. The fields are mapped to your Business Partner structure via the MARINI HubEngine. Customer-specific fields and extensions are no problem. The mapping is configurable via no-code.
Real-time monitoring with push mechanism. Once a Business Partner is linked with a DUNS, monitoring can be activated. D&B informs MARINI about changes, the integration pushes updates immediately to your SAP system. You configure which changes lead to which actions (alert, automatic update, workflow).
Define conflict handling and validation rules. When D&B data and SAP data conflict, your logic applies: D&B leading for address, SAP leading for internal notes. You define validation rules (e.g., only updates at certain confidence scores) and escalation paths. Logs and monitoring show you all changes transparently.
Business-critical data deserves maximum reliability. At MARINI, security isn’t an add-on—it’s our lived standard. Our security architecture at a glance:
