Why teams connect Epicor ERP and IBM AS/400

Give your engineers Epicor ERP's data in IBM AS/400: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Customers, Suppliers, Parts, Sales orders from Epicor ERP into IBM AS/400 and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Epicor ERP is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in IBM AS/400 sync back into Epicor ERP with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Keep customer and item files aligned with an ecommerce platform or modern ERP during phased modernization.
  • Feed shipment and invoice data from the AS/400 into logistics and finance tools in near real time.
  • Push won opportunities from the CRM into Epicor as sales orders and sync order status back.
  • Mirror parts, on-hand inventory, and job status into a reporting database for shop-floor dashboards.

Read ERP records with a query

Records from Epicor ERP live in IBM AS/400 as ordinary tables or collections, joinable with the rest of your data.

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Epicor ERP interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

Updates in Epicor ERP arrive as row changes in IBM AS/400, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

What you can sync between Epicor ERP and IBM AS/400

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Epicor ERP objects IBM AS/400 objects
Parts Item masters that anchor inventory, BOM, and order line syncs. Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations.
Sales orders Created from won CRM opportunities; status and line changes sync back out. Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads.
Purchase orders Synced with procurement systems and matched against receipts. Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets.
Jobs Production jobs whose status feeds shop-floor dashboards and delivery-date updates. Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources.
Quotes Estimates that pair with CRM opportunities during the sales cycle. Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs.
AR invoices Billing records surfaced in CRM or finance tools for collections visibility. Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access.

How the Epicor ERP and IBM AS/400 connectors work

Epicor ERP

Integration surface
REST API (OData) over Epicor business objects, plus BAQ (Business Activity Query) endpoints
Authentication
API key combined with basic or token authentication, depending on version and deployment
Change detection
Polling on change-date fields; outbound calls can be wired through BPM directives, but there is no standard webhook subscription surface
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits and per-tenant throttling on Kinetic cloud deployments

IBM AS/400

Integration surface
SQL over JDBC/ODBC to Db2 for i (for example the JTOpen/jt400 driver), alongside native record-level access
Authentication
IBM i user profile credentials (database credentials)
Change detection
Journal-based CDC by reading journal receivers on journaled files; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
Rate limits
Bounded by system resources and subsystem configuration rather than an API quota.
