In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode → Create app, with OAuth. In Codex: `codex mcp add stacksync --url https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp` then `codex mcp login stacksync`. Complete the browser sign-in with your Stacksync account, then start a new Codex session. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http stacksync https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp`. Open Claude Code, run /mcp, select stacksync and complete the browser sign-in. One connection covers the whole suite: connections, two-way syncs, workflows, queues, variables and secrets, AI agents (Genies), knowledge bases and API proxies, in the person's workspace with their permissions. Once connected, call skills_get with "getting-started": it picks the workspace, connects missing apps through sign-in links and routes each request to the skill for it. Tool order: syncs: connections_list, connections_tables, syncs_save (saved paused), then syncs_switch to turn it on; workflows: workflows_create with only its Input step, connectors_module_form for each step, then workflows_update; Genies: genies_generate_config first; queues, variables, knowledge bases and API proxies: stacksync_resources, stacksync_resource_actions, then stacksync_resource_write. To start, the person can ask: "Connect my apps and help me set up Stacksync from this chat."

Author Ruben Burdin · Founder & CEO Published September 18, 2026 Read time 4 min read DATA ENGINEERING ## The operating decision An electronics manufacturer’s NetSuite–Postgres allocation view should connect demand to the recorded component identity, approved revision and eligible supply. Keep manufacturer part, internal item and customer reference separate. Two-way sync can support selected record exchange while engineering owns interchangeability and planning owns allocation. A matching description or a positive total stock quantity does not prove that the available component is suitable for the assembly or customer order being planned. Explore the complete [electrical and electronic components integration and automation hub](https://www.stacksync.com/industry/manufacturing/electrical-electronic-components) for the systems and processes around this guide. ![Summary card: NetSuite Postgres sync for revision-aware stock allocation](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-highlights/icp-electronics-netsuite-postgres-component-revision-allocation.webp) ## What this looks like in electrical and electronic components An electronics business stocks two revisions of a component under related internal references. One customer assembly can use either revision, while another requires a specific approved version. A Postgres planning application currently aggregates the entire item family and marks both orders covered. The useful integration preserves the eligibility relationship and allocated quantity for each demand line. Planners can then see an actual shortage on the restricted order without treating unrelated stock as available or moving an existing allocation from another customer silently. ## Records, ownership, and update rules | Record | Owner | Operating rule | | --- | --- | --- | | Component identity | Product operations | Retain internal item, manufacturer part and relevant revision references as distinct identifiers. | | Approved applicability | Engineering | Record which components or alternatives may satisfy the selected assembly or customer requirement. | | Demand allocation | Planning | Link eligible supply to the specific demand line and quantity rather than exposing only pooled stock. | | Operational projection | Planning analytics | Show eligible, allocated and unresolved quantities with source freshness and the applicable rule. | ![Record ownership diagram: Component identity, Approved applicability, Demand allocation](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams/icp-electronics-netsuite-postgres-component-revision-allocation.webp) *Define the record owner and the rule before enabling updates.* ## Work through the process 1. 01 Define the eligibility question Select one assembly family and identify the approved component relationships it depends on. Have engineering explain whether revision and manufacturer restrictions apply. Avoid building an allocation rule from description similarity or an unreviewed catalog substitution. 2. 02 Preserve the source identities Keep NetSuite record references separate from generated Postgres keys and engineering identifiers. Review existing cross-references before backfill. A shared SKU string may be insufficient when the business distinguishes manufacturer part and revision elsewhere. 3. 03 Model allocation as a relationship Store which supply quantity covers each demand line, including units and applicable conditions. Reconcile allocation totals to available eligible stock. Do not repeat the full stock quantity for every joined demand row or count the same inventory twice. 4. 04 Expose proposals separately from commitments A planning application can suggest a different allocation, but accepted changes must follow the responsible owner’s process. Preserve the current commitment while the proposal is reviewed. Any ERP update requires a verified operation and accepted destination response. 5. 05 Test restricted and late-change cases Use two orders with different approved applicability and one component revision change. Confirm that the correct order becomes constrained. Then replay updates and reconcile the totals so the view remains stable after interruptions. ![5-step operating sequence: NetSuite Postgres sync for revision-aware stock allocation](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams-mermaid/icp-electronics-netsuite-postgres-component-revision-allocation.webp) *Follow the operating sequence; unresolved exceptions return to a responsible reviewer.* ## Handle the exceptions explicitly ### A substitute is stocked but not approved Show it as a candidate for engineering review, outside eligible coverage. ### One supply quantity is proposed for two orders Expose the conflict to planning and retain one accepted allocation rather than independently satisfying both demands. ### A component reference is corrected Review its affected relationships and preserve the correction history; do not reassign historical shipments by assumption. ## What to verify before expanding - Restricted demand cannot consume stock that lacks approved applicability. - Accepted allocation totals do not exceed eligible supply in the same unit. - Proposed reallocations remain separate from current commitments. - The user can trace a readiness result to component identity and approval evidence. ## Connect this process to the rest of your operation [Explore Stacksync two-way sync](https://www.stacksync.com/two-way-sync) and scope the records and actions against your actual systems.

Use the manufacturer’s approved data model. The integration must preserve the distinctions that matter operationally, whether represented in separate items or related revision records. Can an agent decide that two components are interchangeable? It can gather approved evidence and candidate references. Engineering determines suitability for the specific application and customer requirements. What is a useful first demonstration? Show two demands with different revision restrictions competing for shared stock. The correct result is an explainable allocation and a visible shortage where eligibility does not hold.
