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." Setup for each assistant: https://www.stacksync.com/mcp.md Show fence-material commitments by job without treating a shared planning board as an inventory reservation engine. Author Ruben Burdin · Founder & CEO Published September 18, 2026 Read time 5 min read DATA ENGINEERING ## The operating decision A fencing fabrication and installation board should distinguish material on hand, material committed to a job, cut or fabricated work, and staged installation stock. NetSuite–Supabase two-way sync can share approved inventory and job context while the app collects requests and progress evidence. Actual reservations and transfers require verified inventory actions and ownership rules. A coordinator changing a board column should not automatically consume stock or guarantee material that another job already holds. Explore the complete [fencing fabrication and installation integration and automation hub](https://www.stacksync.com/industry/construction/fencing-fabrication-installation) for the systems and processes around this guide. ![Summary card: NetSuite Supabase sync for fence material job allocations](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-highlights/icp-fence-material-reservations-connect-netsuite-stock-with-a-supabase-fabrication-and-installation-board.webp) ## What this looks like in fencing fabrication and installation A fencing company uses the same steel sections for several custom gates. The planning board shows enough gross stock for a new order, but much of it is reserved for jobs already released to fabrication. Offcuts may be usable only for certain components. A useful view shows approved allocations and the actual material requirements of the new job, then routes any request to move stock through the inventory and production owners. ## Records, ownership, and update rules | Record | Owner | Operating rule | | --- | --- | --- | | Stock item and unit | Inventory administration | Maintain material identity, dimensions and the unit used for counting. | | Job allocation | Inventory owner | Record the confirmed material commitment and any approved transfer. | | Fabrication status | Production supervisor | Report work state separately from inventory consumption. | | Installation staging | Logistics | Identify finished or prepared material available for the site's work package. | ![Record ownership diagram: Stock item and unit, Job allocation, Fabrication status](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams/icp-fence-material-reservations-connect-netsuite-stock-with-a-supabase-fabrication-and-installation-board.webp) *Define the record owner and the rule before enabling updates.* ## Work through the process 1. 01 Separate inventory and production states Define raw stock, reserved material, work in progress and installation-ready assemblies. A single available quantity cannot describe all four. Preserve the item and job relationships so planners can see whether the constraint is purchasing, fabrication capacity or physical staging. 2. 02 Use approved material requirements Compare stock against the released bill of materials or equivalent job requirement. Keep material grade, section, finish and length attributes visible where they affect suitability. Do not let the board substitute a similar material simply because its generic description matches. 3. 03 Design reservation as a confirmed action Let planners submit allocation or transfer requests with a stable identifier. The inventory owner or verified system action accepts or rejects them. Return the confirmed result to the board and distinguish pending requests from stock that is actually committed. 4. 04 Constrain the application Authorize users for the branches, jobs and actions they need. Supabase row policies and grants are separate from sync configuration. Keep integration credentials server-side and test a user who may view planning context but may not approve material movement. 5. 05 Reconcile consumption and staging Connect reported fabrication usage and completed assemblies to the approved inventory process. Verify the exact NetSuite operations before enabling writes. Handle delayed reports and corrections with source references so the board does not consume the same material twice or declare an assembly staged before logistics confirms it. 6. 06 Keep production progress from changing inventory silently A fabricator marking a task started may not have consumed the whole material allocation, and marking it complete may still leave unused material. Define how actual usage and returns are recorded through the inventory process. The board can show reported progress while the accepted inventory result remains a separate state. This distinction gives the production manager visibility without turning an approximate shop update into an unreviewed stock adjustment. ![6-step operating sequence: NetSuite Supabase sync for fence material job allocations](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams-mermaid/icp-fence-material-reservations-connect-netsuite-stock-with-a-supabase-fabrication-and-installation-board.webp) *Follow the operating sequence; unresolved exceptions return to a responsible reviewer.* ## Handle the exceptions explicitly ### Usable offcut has no verified dimensions Keep it outside the available planning quantity until production confirms suitability. ### Two jobs request the same stock Use the owning reservation process to decide priority and return explicit accepted or rejected states. ### Fabrication is complete but not staged Show production completion separately from installation availability. ## What to verify before expanding - Gross stock and confirmed job allocation are distinct. - A board edit cannot silently create an unsupported inventory action. - Repeated requests cannot double reserve material. - Installation availability requires verified staging 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.

The application still needs a design that coordinates the actual inventory authority and competing requests. A local row change alone does not establish an ERP commitment. Should offcuts be counted like full stock lengths? Only when the inventory and production model records their usable dimensions and suitability. Aggregate length can overstate what is available for a specific fabricated component. What should the production manager evaluate about confirmed job allocations? Evaluate whether the board explains material constraints before release, whether requests have clear owners, and whether confirmed allocations remain consistent with the ERP and physical staging records.
