# Connecting Payhawk to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition

Payhawk supports direct integration to SAP S/4HANA®, so you can export and sync your expenses between the two systems.

For more information, go to the article about [exported data between SAP S/4HANA and Payhawk](/help/overview-of-shared-data-with-sap-s-4hana).

## Before you begin

To connect the two systems, make sure you have:

- An SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud tenant.
- Administrator access to set up communication system and communication user with the appropriate arrangements in SAP S/4HANA.
- An SAP S/4HANA user account with the appropriate permissions.

## Connecting to SAP S/4HANA

To start connecting your Payhawk account to SAP S/4HANA, follow the steps:

1. In the [Payhawk Web Portal](https://portal.payhawk.com), go to **Settings** > **Integrations** > **SAP S/4HANA**.
2. Click on **Connect**.
3. On the next screen, from the drop-down list, select **Public Cloud**, and enter the URL of your SAP S/4HANA instance. Click on **Continue**.

## Notes on configuration

- The integration setup from the last time Payhawk and your accounting system were connected will be automatically re-applied the next time you connect.
- You can edit the current integration setup without disconnecting from your accounting system. In Payhawk, go to **Settings** > **Integrations**, click on the three dots menu of the desired ERP system, and select **Edit configuration**.
- You can disconnect the integration, if you go to **Settings** > **Integrations**, click on the three dots menu of the desired ERP system, and select **Disconnect**. For group accounts, disconnecting the parent also unlinks all child accounts.
