SAP Cloud for Customer, extended edition is designed as a cloud-based solution — your system runs and
stores your data in the cloud. This enables you to access your system anywhere and anytime, from the
supported devices*.
The SAP Cloud for Customer, extended edition also includes the capability to work in offline mode, without a
connection to your system. Due to the nature of the cloud architecture there are limitations on what you can
do while working offline. This document lists the supported item types along with the operations currently
possible while working in offline mode.
Here are some general synchronization rules to keep in mind while working offline:
The maximum number of objects you can sync per item type is 5000. For example, 5000
accounts, 5000 opportunities, and so on.
You cannot delete synced objects in offline mode.
Not all fields of synced objects will be supported for edit or create, such as owner, or fields
originally hidden for the object.
Prerequisite: Your system is not enabled for working in offline mode by default. You need to contact your
Administrator to enable offline mode.
Note: Users must provide a PIN for offline data encryption and perform an initial synchronization of data
before using offline mode.
1. Offline mode supports basic edit and create for specific objects.
Note: Besides mandatory field checks on Master page layout, validations is done at the time
of synchronization.
2. All supported offline objects are synchronized, but object selection is not available.
Note: Only header level extensibility is supported- an initial download will be required for
the object on the client after a change.
3. Object deletions are not supported.
4. Fixed conflict resolution - If multiple people make changes to an object, only the last update
on the object will persist.
5. Custom business objects, reporting and attachments are not supported in offline mode.
6. Limited object actions are available offline.
7. Support for data volume of 5000 records per object. For example, 5000 accounts, 5000
opportunities, and so on.
8. Opportunity to Account navigation is not supported.
9. All Related Activities of Opportunities and Accounts are not downloaded.
10. In offline mode you are not prompted to fill the mandatory fields that are required to be
filled in online mode. You have to save these entries without filling these fields. But, when
you synchronize, these checks are performed on the server.
11. Business configuration scoping validations are not available in offline.
12. In Offline mode, selecting a field does not default the value of another field. But, when you
synchronize, the values are defaulted and the entries are saved online.
13. Values are not defaulted offline during edit or create- they are defaulted after
synchronization on the server and updated.
14. In offline mode, newly created accounts and contacts show up with their temporary IDs
when used in other transactions. Their details are resolved properly once you synchronize
and the entries are created online.
