Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Give your engineers Microsoft Dynamics NAV'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, Vendors, Items, Sales Orders & Invoices from Microsoft Dynamics NAV into IBM AS/400 and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Microsoft Dynamics NAV 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 Microsoft Dynamics NAV 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.
  • Replicate G/L and ledger entries into a warehouse for consolidated finance reporting.
  • Keep inventory availability current in storefronts and customer portals.

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Microsoft Dynamics NAV interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

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

Where Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in IBM AS/400 for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

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.

IBM AS/400 objects Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects
Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. G/L Entries Posted ledger entries replicated to warehouses for finance reporting.
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Item Ledger Entries Inventory movement history read for stock and costing analytics.
Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Dimensions Analytical codes carried on documents and entries for reporting splits.
Logical files (views) Indexed or filtered views over physical files, usable as read sources. Companies Per-company data partitions that scope every sync.
Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. Customers Customer cards synced with CRMs so sales sees ERP balances and terms.
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Vendors Vendor cards aligned with procurement and AP tools.
