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 Multi-plant manufacturers exposing Dynamics 365 Finance orders in SQL Server need company-scoped keys, line-level change capture and a separate route for any approved write back. Author Ruben Burdin · Founder & CEO Published September 18, 2026 Read time 4 min read DATA ENGINEERING ## The operating decision A Dynamics 365 Finance and SQL Server integration for manufacturing should preserve legal entity, document identity and line identity while distinguishing application data from operational reporting. Choose the public data entities and database tables that represent the actual process. Two-way sync is useful only where the intended write is supported and its owner is clear. A reporting table containing a proposed production date must not be treated as permission to update a financial or supply-chain transaction. Explore the complete [manufacturing integration and automation hub](https://www.stacksync.com/industry/manufacturing) for the systems and processes around this guide. ![Summary card: Dynamics 365 Finance order lines in SQL Server for planners](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-highlights/icp-manufacturing-dynamics-finance-sql-server-order-lines.webp) ## What this looks like in manufacturing A multi-plant manufacturer exposes open orders in SQL Server so planners can compare commitments with local production information. A customer changes one line’s quantity without changing the header fields the report currently watches. The next planning meeting still sees the old demand. Another plant uses the same visible order number, making a document-number-only join even more dangerous. The useful integration preserves company and line keys, detects the relevant line changes, and labels the freshness of both the source extract and the planning calculation. ## Records, ownership, and update rules | Record | Owner | Operating rule | | --- | --- | --- | | Legal entity and order | ERP administration | Include the company context with the document key; visible order numbers may not identify a transaction across companies. | | Order line | Order management | Retain line identity independently from its display position so inserted or reordered lines do not become different demand. | | Operational projection | Planning analytics | Document the SQL table’s grain and refresh logic; derived capacity or readiness values are not ERP facts. | | Write request | Authorized process owner | Store proposed changes separately from accepted ERP values and record the reviewer who approved each operation. | ![Record ownership diagram: Legal entity and order, Order line, Operational projection](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams/icp-manufacturing-dynamics-finance-sql-server-order-lines.webp) *Define the record owner and the rule before enabling updates.* ## Work through the process 1. 01 Define what each row represents Write down whether the SQL dataset contains one row per order line, delivery schedule or production allocation. Reconcile a representative order manually. If one source line expands into several rows, specify how quantities aggregate before anyone uses the result for planning. 2. 02 Select entities and dependency coverage Inspect Dynamics data entities and their keys rather than reading arbitrary application tables as if they were a stable API. Identify the line and related changes the process needs. Validate that the configured extraction path captures those changes independently of a header update. 3. 03 Control the database contribution Keep SQL-generated recommendations in their own columns or tables. Permit a return update only through the approved application operation, after confirming object access and business validation. Direct edits to a reporting projection should never masquerade as accepted ERP instructions. 4. 04 Test freshness and restart behavior Change a line quantity, a delivery date and a relevant child reference separately. Record when each arrives in SQL. Interrupt the test connection, resume it and reconcile the selected period. Confirm that database capture and upstream extraction each have an observable health signal. ![4-step operating sequence: Dynamics 365 Finance order lines in SQL Server for planners](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams-mermaid/icp-manufacturing-dynamics-finance-sql-server-order-lines.webp) *Follow the operating sequence; unresolved exceptions return to a responsible reviewer.* ## Handle the exceptions explicitly ### Same order number in two companies Use company plus document and line identity. Quarantine ambiguous historical rows until their legal-entity context can be recovered. ### A child value changes without its parent Treat the missing update as a coverage problem. Review entity configuration or an explicit refresh process before advertising the projection as current. ### A reporting user edits a recommendation Retain the edit as a proposal with an author and timestamp. Do not propagate it into ERP without the required application approval. ## What to verify before expanding - Two companies with an identical displayed order number remain separate in SQL. - A line-only quantity change appears without requiring a manual header edit. - Repeated extraction leaves one row per declared business key, including after a restart. - The report exposes source freshness separately from the age of the derived planning calculation. ## 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 design should use supported data entities or another approved integration route. The SQL Server destination is an operational dataset with its own ownership and retention, not an invitation to modify application tables. Why can a header look current while its lines are stale? Headers and lines may use different entities or change-detection coverage. Validate child changes explicitly rather than assuming a successful header update proves the entire order is synchronized. What belongs in a first pilot? Use one legal entity and an order type with meaningful revisions. Include a duplicate number from another company, a line-only edit and a restart so the test exercises identity and freshness together.
