Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and Odoo

Give your engineers Odoo'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 Employees (hr.employee), Projects and Tasks (project.project / project.task), Contacts (res.partner), Sales Orders (sale.order) from Odoo into IBM AS/400 and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Odoo 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 Odoo with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Expose AS/400 order, inventory, and item master data to modern SaaS tools without rewriting green-screen applications.
  • Use journal-based change capture to replicate IBM i data into a cloud warehouse for reporting.
  • Keep product and price list data aligned between Odoo and storefronts or marketplaces.
  • Sync employee records from an HR system of record into Odoo for expense and timesheet workflows.

React to ERP changes

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

Where Odoo 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.

Controlled write-back

Choose exactly which tables and fields may flow from IBM AS/400 back into Odoo, keeping the ERP authoritative.

What you can sync between IBM AS/400 and Odoo

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 Odoo objects
Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. CRM Leads (crm.lead) Leads and opportunities synced with marketing and enrichment systems.
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Purchase Orders (purchase.order) Procurement documents shared with supplier-facing systems.
Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Inventory Transfers (stock.picking) Delivery and receipt operations synced for fulfillment visibility.
Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Employees (hr.employee) HR records read for directory and provisioning syncs.
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Projects and Tasks (project.project / project.task) Work items synced with external project tools.
Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Contacts (res.partner) The unified person/company record used across sales, invoicing, and purchasing; the anchor for CRM syncs.

How the IBM AS/400 and Odoo connectors work

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.

Odoo

Integration surface
XML-RPC and JSON-RPC external API exposing the full ORM (search_read, create, write, unlink)
Authentication
Database user credentials or per-user API keys
Change detection
Polling on the write_date timestamp every record carries; recent versions can also send outbound webhooks from automation rules
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Self-hosted instances have no fixed rate limits; Odoo Online is subject to the platform's fair-use limits
