Linx-AS Introduces SDS Sync™, an Accelerator for Automated Safety Data Sheet Publishing from SAP to the Web
BLUE BELL, PENNSYLVANIA US – July 27, 2026 – Linx-AS today announced the availability of SDS Sync™, a new accelerator that automates the publication of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) from SAP EHS and SAP Product Compliance to web-based document repositories, helping organizations reduce manual effort, improve compliance readiness, and accelerate access to approved product safety information.
Many organizations continue to rely on manual processes to export, prepare, and publish SDS documents after they have been approved in SAP. These disconnected workflows increase administrative effort, introduce opportunities for version inconsistencies, and make it more difficult to ensure customers and regulatory stakeholders always have access to the latest approved documents.
SDS Sync addresses these challenges by automatically detecting newly released Safety Data Sheets in SAP, generating final PDF documents through Windows Wordprocessor Integration (WWI), collecting the required publication metadata, and securely publishing documents to supported web-based storage platforms. Every transaction is logged within SAP to provide traceability and prevent duplicate submissions.
“SAP should remain the system of record for product safety documentation,” said Matt Duka, Marketing Director at Linx-AS. “SDS Sync extends that investment by automating the final step, ensuring approved Safety Data Sheets are consistently published and readily available without adding manual work for compliance teams.”
Built for organizations managing global product portfolios, SDS Sync supports multilingual SDS generation, SAP Generation Groups, configurable metadata mapping, scheduled background processing, and flexible publication workflows. The accelerator is designed to support publishing to multiple web-based destinations, including Sphera Document Storage, Microsoft SharePoint, and customer-facing portals.
Key capabilities include:
- Automatic detection of newly released SDS documents
- Automated WWI PDF generation
- Metadata extraction and mapping
- Configurable publication rules
- Background scheduling
- Duplicate submission prevention
- SAP transaction logging and audit support
- Support for multiple web-based publishing destinations
SDS Sync has already been successfully implemented for an enterprise chemical manufacturer, demonstrating its ability to streamline SDS publishing while preserving SAP as the authoritative source for product safety documentation. This implementation validated the accelerator’s ability to automate the end-to-end publishing process and reduce the operational burden associated with manual document distribution.
