Power BI Connector for SAP is distributed through the SAP Store and runs on SAP BTP. Installation comes in two parts that an administrator typically completes together:
- Subscribe and configure on BTP — subscribe your BTP subaccount to the connector, assign role collections to end users, and create the SAP destination. See Installation Guide: Multi-Tenant.
- Configure the SAP backend (on-premise only) — if your S/4HANA, ECC, or other SAP system runs on-premise, the SAP system itself needs to be configured to expose OData services to the connector. See On-Premise SAP Configuration.
For S/4HANA Public Cloud or any SAP system reachable from BTP over the public internet, only the Multi-Tenant guide is needed.
What you’ll need before installing #
- An SAP BTP subaccount where you have Subaccount Administrator permissions.
- An identity provider trusted by your BTP subaccount (SAP IAS or a corporate IdP) so users can sign in with their corporate credentials.
- An SAP destination configured against the SAP system you want to read from. Power BI Connector for SAP reads SAP OData services through this destination.
- (On-premise only) Administrative access to the SAP system (
SU01,PFCG,/IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE), plus Cloud Connector configured between BTP and the SAP backend.
What happens after installation #
Once the subscription is active, role collections are assigned, and your destination is configured (and verified for on-premise installs), sign in at the connector URL. You land on the Data Sources page. From there, follow the Quickstart to mint an access token, create a data source, and connect Power BI Desktop.
