Why teams connect IBM AS/400 and QAD ERP

Give your engineers QAD 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 Work orders, Inventory balances, General ledger transactions, Items from QAD ERP into IBM AS/400 and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever QAD 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 QAD ERP 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.
  • Replicate inventory and work-order data into a warehouse for supply chain analytics across plants.
  • Push EDI orders from trading partners into QAD as sales orders.

Internal tools and automations without API code

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

React to ERP changes

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

Where QAD ERP 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 QAD ERP

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 QAD ERP objects
Members Sub-partitions of files in legacy applications, flattened or selected during syncs. General ledger transactions Financial postings exported for consolidated reporting
Rows / records The unit of read and write, accessed via SQL or record-level access. Items Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning systems
Journals and journal receivers The change log that enables log-based CDC on journaled files. Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM
Data queues Program-to-program messaging objects sometimes used to hand events off to integrations. Suppliers Vendor master data aligned with procurement and AP automation tools
Libraries The schema-equivalent containers that scope which files a sync reads. Sales orders Demand records written in from EDI or e-commerce and read out for status
Physical files (tables) The Db2 for i tables mapped directly to sync targets. Purchase orders Procurement documents mirrored to planning and finance systems
