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 One shared replenishment case shows the approver what is already ordered and in transit before a second distributor request turns into a second wholesale order. Author Ignacio Malpartida · GTM Engineer Published September 21, 2026 Read time 5 min read APP TIPS ## The operating decision A household replenishment workflow should check accepted orders, pending requests, and incoming deliveries before authorizing another wholesale order. Keep the customer’s request distinct from an approved commitment and use a stable replenishment case reference. Similar products and dates are signals to inspect, not proof that two orders are duplicates. Explore the complete [household consumables integration and automation hub](https://www.stacksync.com/industry/cpg/household-consumables) for the systems and processes around this guide. ![Summary card: NetSuite replenishment workflow for household case orders](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-highlights/icp-household-product-replenishment-workflows-prevent-duplicate-wholesale-orders.webp) ## What this looks like in household consumables A distributor asks its account manager for another case shipment because stock looks low. A previous request is already approved but has not arrived, and another rep receives the same request by email. Without a shared case, the team may create two additional orders while the original delivery is still in transit. ## Records, ownership, and update rules | Record | Owner | Operating rule | | --- | --- | --- | | Replenishment request | Sales | Capture customer, location, item, requested quantity, and the original request reference. | | Open-order evidence | Order operations | Show accepted and pending quantities with their destination and status. | | Incoming delivery | Logistics | Preserve shipment evidence separately from a promised arrival estimate. | | Approval case | Commercial owner | Record whether to create, amend, defer, or reject the proposed replenishment. | ![Record ownership diagram: Replenishment request, Open-order evidence, Incoming delivery](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams/icp-household-product-replenishment-workflows-prevent-duplicate-wholesale-orders.webp) *Define the record owner and the rule before enabling updates.* ## Work through the process 1. 01 Create one review context Attach messages and CRM requests to a stable customer-location replenishment case. Preserve distinct requests when they represent different products or delivery needs rather than merging by date alone. 2. 02 Check committed supply Review accepted orders and actual shipment evidence for the same items and destination. Separate incoming goods from tentative plans so the approver understands what is already committed. 3. 03 Choose the correct action The authorized owner can approve a new order, amend an existing one, or wait for delivery. Store that choice and its scope explicitly before any ERP action. 4. 04 Reconcile the result Link the accepted destination order or amendment to the case. A timeout or repeated message should trigger a lookup for the prior result before another create action is attempted. 5. 05 Replay two reps forwarding the same distributor request Have two account managers submit the same distributor request from Salesforce a few minutes apart while a prior replenishment for that location is still in transit. The workflow should attach the second submission to the open case instead of opening a new one, and the approver's view of that case should list the in-transit shipment with its NetSuite order reference. Approve the case once. NetSuite should then hold exactly one new or amended sales order linked back to the case ID. Two cases for one request, an approval screen without the incoming delivery, or two NetSuite orders from one approval each stop the rollout. ![5-step operating sequence: NetSuite replenishment workflow for household case orders](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams-mermaid/icp-household-product-replenishment-workflows-prevent-duplicate-wholesale-orders.webp) *Follow the operating sequence; unresolved exceptions return to a responsible reviewer.* ## Handle the exceptions explicitly ### Two reps submit the same message Attach both to the existing case after confirming the shared request identity. ### Existing order serves another location Keep it separate and do not incorrectly suppress the new requirement. ### Incoming delivery is delayed Route a fresh commercial decision rather than automatically duplicating the order. ## What to verify before expanding - One approved replenishment decision produces one accepted operational result. - Incoming deliveries remain visible when evaluating a new request. - A second request for another location remains a separate requirement even when its product and quantity match the first request. - An incoming delivery delay opens a new commercial decision and does not automatically authorize another replenishment order. ## Connect this process to the rest of your operation [Explore Stacksync workflows](https://www.stacksync.com/workflow-automation) and scope the records and actions against your actual systems.

Not reliably. Customers can legitimately place similar orders. Use request identity, destination, timing, and the approved business context before suppressing or merging work. A distributor restocking two branches in the same week will send two near-identical requests that both deserve orders, so the workflow surfaces the overlap for a person rather than deciding it. Where does the replenishment case live, and who can see it? The case is its own record, keyed by customer and delivery location, held in the workflow's Postgres store rather than inside Salesforce or NetSuite. Sales reaches it from the account in Salesforce, order operations sees the linked NetSuite order reference, and the commercial owner works the approval from the case itself. Because it sits outside both systems, a rep cannot close it by editing an opportunity, and it survives a NetSuite order being amended or canceled. Will the workflow create the NetSuite sales order on its own? Only after the commercial owner records a create decision on the case, and only for the scope that decision names. The workflow then submits the order through the NetSuite connector, stores the returned order ID on the case, and reads the order back to confirm it exists. Amendments follow the same path against the existing order. The NetSuite write is scoped to the sales order object; the workflow cannot touch pricing, credit holds, or the customer record.
