DBVault for SAP: SAP Data Archival and Reporting Platform
When an SAP instance is switched off, the postings inside it stop being reachable. Finance still needs the history, auditors still ask for it, and a licence kept alive for look-ups is no longer an option worth paying for.
DBVault for SAP is the SAP flavour of DBVault, Blueacrobat's cloud-hosted platform for ERP and business data archival and reporting. It holds the organisation's SAP financial data as a read-only, relational archive its finance team can search, scope access to and produce financial statements from, per company code and fiscal year, without an SAP licence.
See an SAP archive answer a real question
A walkthrough of DBVault answering a real question against SAP data like the organisation's own, from a trial balance to the postings behind a figure. No sizing needed first.
The SAP history, ready for the next question.
Search the archived records and follow the connections between them. Each archive preserves its own schema and the relationships the source kept.
Run the trial balance, balance sheet, income statement and general ledger inside DBVault. The reports the organisation relies on are confirmed during scoping and tested during validation.
Assign access through named roles and restriction profiles. The finalised records stay read-only, and logins and downloads are logged.
Key Features
The general ledger at line level. Every posting with its document, account, company code, cost centre, profit centre and internal order, for the fiscal years in scope.
Open items and master data. Open customer and vendor items, customer and vendor master data with their company-code views, and the chart of accounts, so a balance can be followed to the parties behind it.
Asset accounting and controlling objects. Held as records of their own, with their relationships to the postings and documents kept.
Custom Z-tables. Brought into scope alongside the standard objects, so the parts of the system built for the business stay in the archive.
Immutable storage and security. Encrypted in transit and at rest and read-only once finalised, with logins and downloads logged. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, SOC 2 Type II audited.
Role-based access control. Administrator and viewer roles, with access scoped by archive, record type and company code; multi-factor sign-in, with single sign-on available.
Financial reporting on the archived SAP ledger
The statements run inside the platform against the archived ledger, per company code and fiscal year, and the postings stay reachable from each figure, so a reviewer moves from a balance to the documents behind it without an SAP licence and without a spreadsheet first. Company code, cost centre, profit centre and business area carry through to the reports, so a controller reads them the way the books were kept.
Financial statements
- Cumulative trial balance
- Consolidated trial balance
- Fiscal-year trial balance
- Balance sheet
- Income statement
- General ledger
- Account activity
- Transaction detail
The reports a close, an audit or a statutory filing is normally built from.
Management reporting
- Profit and loss by cost centre
- Profit and loss by profit centre
- Profit and loss by company code
In the dimensions SAP kept, so historical performance stays comparable across a system change.
Multi-currency
- Trial balance by currency
- FX analysis
Where the extract carries the currencies, a group can still reconcile a prior period the way it was originally reported.
Audit and compliance
- Transaction journal
- Period comparison
- Account type summary
- Reversals report
For the questions that arrive from outside the business, where showing the working matters as much as the number.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which SAP releases does DBVault for SAP cover?
.webp)
SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA. The archive is built from the financial data the organisation's SAP team extracts, per company code and fiscal year; the release decides which reports and tables the packages come from, not what the platform can hold.
How does the data get out of SAP?
Together with the organisation's SAP team, through AcroXtract for SAP. The extract packages are produced from SAP's own reporting and table exports, to a specification agreed in scoping, under credentials the organisation controls; Blueacrobat loads them into the archive, reconciles them to the organisation's own books and puts the result in front of its team for validation. Where postings continue after the first package, a closing package after the last close replaces the earlier load. Where this sits in the wider retirement plan is set out on SAP ECC decommissioning.
Which financial reports run on an SAP archive?
Trial balance (cumulative, consolidated and fiscal-year), balance sheet, income statement, general ledger, account activity and transaction detail; profit and loss by cost centre, profit centre and company code; trial balance by currency and FX analysis; and the audit reports. Which reports are available depends on the dimensions the extract carries, so the reports the organisation relies on are confirmed during scoping and tested during its validation period. Access to the statements follows the same roles as the rest of the archive. The same platform carries the NetSuite report set.
Can a reviewer be limited to one company code?
Yes. A viewer's restriction profile can name the archive, the record types and the company codes the person may see, as an allow list or a deny list. An auditor given one company code sees nothing else, and filters what they can see by fiscal year and period. The organisation's administrator invites users, assigns profiles and removes access when an engagement ends.
Is the SAP archive protected against changes?
Yes. The archive is held read-only once it is finalised, and every login and download is logged inside the platform, so a statement produced from it reflects the figures as they were archived.
Are attachments included?
Yes, where the scope includes them. Documents attached in SAP through GOS or ArchiveLink can be extracted alongside the postings, the open items, the master data, asset accounting, the controlling objects and the custom tables, and data areas beyond finance can be named in the same way. Every engagement is scoped at the start, so the attachments and areas that matter are named during scoping.
Can we take the SAP data with us?
Yes. Every list in the archive exports to CSV, so keeping the history does not depend on the subscription continuing, and a team loading data into S/4HANA or another system is handed the files in that form.
Where is the SAP archive hosted?
On Amazon Web Services, encrypted in transit and at rest, with network isolation, and it can be provisioned in a nominated region where data residency is a requirement. Blueacrobat is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and SOC 2 Type II audited; the controls are published on the Trust Centre. Every archive Blueacrobat hosts runs on the same platform, DBVault.
How is it priced?
Hosting is an annual subscription, sized on the volume of data held and the number of users who need access. The extraction is a project, scoped and priced from a short sizing exercise with the organisation's SAP team, and a quote follows from it rather than from a list price. There is no SAP licence to renew and no per-report charge.
