AP with queued exceptions
Invoices and slips come in, rules validate, and posting goes to Sankhya. Whatever does not match stays with an owner and history.
Abstra + SankhyaSankhya integration with automation and AI for finance
Abstra captures, validates, and prepares the posting. Write-back goes into the Sankhya you already use: Sankhya. Exceptions go to a queue with an owner, with an audit trail.

What is Sankhya integration with Abstra?
Abstra is the AI automation platform for finance, integrated with Sankhya. It connects what sits outside the ERP (email, bank, spreadsheet, portals) and posts the result back to Sankhya, with an audit trail.
Sankhya connected to the rest of finance
Abstra links Sankhya to banks, city halls, tax portals, and other systems the team already uses. Posting stays in the ERP; capture and rules run connected.

Sankhya
Sankhya specialists on the team
Abstra has specialist professionals in Sankhya on the team. Flow, landscape access, and write-back are designed by people who already deliver finance integration on this ERP. The pilot needs fewer round-trips and reaches a stable first posting faster.
Landscape quality
The right connector, service user, and environment from the pilot on.
Delivery speed
Less back-and-forth between finance and IT to unlock write-back.
Operation with a trail
Exceptions with an owner and history ready for close and audit.
How it works in practice
Abstra captures the document, applies rules, opens an exception with an owner, and writes back to Sankhya. The same design repeats on the landscape you already use.
01
Capture
Invoices, slips, statements, card charges, or travel files arrive via email, API, spreadsheet, or connector.
02
Validation
Rules for PO, vendor, cost center, tax, and duplicates. Anything off-pattern becomes a queue with an owner.
03
Write-back to Sankhya
Posting into Sankhya via the landscape connector, with a preview when the process needs it.
04
Audit trail
History of what posted, what stopped, and who approved. Ready for close and internal control.
What teams build with Abstra and Sankhya
Beyond document intake: cash, close, reconciliation, and dashboards on Sankhya.
Treasury and card reconciliation
Statements, cards, and Sankhya open items match by rule. Mismatches become a queue; clearing posts back to the ERP with history.
Multi-bank consolidated cash
Balances and movements from several banks meet Sankhya actuals. Treasury gets one view and reviews only exceptions at close.
Budget, actuals, and forecast
ERP, spreadsheets, and cost centers meet in one console. The team tracks variance without building management close by hand.
Abstra vs iPaaS vs native Sankhya automation
Three common paths when finance needs to integrate Sankhya. The choice changes who runs the flow, where rules live, and how audit shows up day to day.
| Criterion | Abstra | Generic iPaaS | Native / custom in Sankhya |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who operates it | Finance with support from our specialist team | IT / integration | IT / ERP partner |
| Autonomy and customization | Team customizes flows and builds dashboards with AI, without an IT queue | Changes almost always become a technical project | Depends on custom work or a partner |
| Process focus | AP, reconciliation, cash, owned exceptions | Move data between systems; little ready-made for finance | Transactions and config inside the ERP |
| Write-back to Sankhya | Yes, via the landscape connector | Only if someone builds and maintains the connector | Native in the landscape |
| Outside the ERP | Email, bank, spreadsheet, portals, and invoices | Doesn’t always cover what finance needs day to day | Limited to what Sankhya and the partner cover |
| Audit trail | Flow, exception, and approval history | Technical integration logs | ERP / custom logs |
| Best when | You want to connect finance end to end, quickly and securely | You only need to move messages between systems | The rule already lives only inside Sankhya |
If the goal is to connect finance end to end to Sankhya - capture, rules, exceptions, and posting - with autonomy for the team to customize and build dashboards with AI, Abstra is the most direct path. Generic iPaaS usually stops at data transport; native/custom fits when the rule already lives only inside the ERP.
How Abstra talks to your Sankhya
The finance process is the same. Below is the technical connector for this landscape — API, auth, and field detail.

Frequently asked questions
Does Abstra replace Sankhya?
The main path is to connect. Abstra automates what sits outside the ERP and posts the result back to Sankhya, which remains the system of record. At some customers, processes that no longer need to live in the ERP start running on Abstra — without forcing a Sankhya rip-and-replace.
How does Sankhya access security work?
In enterprise accounts access usually starts in DEV or a pilot, with a least-privilege service user, scope limited to the agreed flow, and VPN when the landscape requires it. Expansion then follows IT change control.
Can we start with accounts payable only?
Yes. AP and invoice capture are usually the first win. Once that base is stable, the same design scales to cash, reconciliation, and close on Sankhya.
What is the difference between Abstra and a generic iPaaS?
A generic iPaaS is usually data transport between systems, with IT in the driver’s seat, and doesn’t always cover what finance needs day to day. Abstra is the finance automation platform: rules, owned exceptions, Sankhya write-back, and autonomy for the team to customize flows and dashboards with AI — with support from our specialist team.
How is this page different from the connector pages?
This page shows what finance gains in the process. The connector pages hold the technical API, auth, and field detail so IT can go deeper.
Does Abstra use RPA to talk to Sankhya?
The default is API or a structured file. RPA only enters when the landscape has no other door and the operational risk is clear for finance and IT.
How long does a Sankhya integration pilot take?
It depends on the landscape and the first process, but the typical design starts with a narrow flow (for example AP) in a pilot environment, with a limited service user. The goal is a stable write-back and an operable exception queue.
