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 A manufacturing Salesforce–Acumatica integration should connect approved commercial scope to an identifiable ERP order and return operational status to sales. Start with customer, ship-to, quote revision and order-line identity. Two-way sync should preserve those links while each system retains ownership of its fields. A closed opportunity is a useful trigger for review, but it does not prove that engineering, credit or production approval is complete. Validate the exact Acumatica endpoint and permitted objects before designing order creation. Explore the complete [manufacturing integration and automation hub](https://www.stacksync.com/industry/manufacturing) for the systems and processes around this guide. ![Summary card: Salesforce and Acumatica order handoff for manufacturers](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-highlights/icp-manufacturing-salesforce-acumatica-order-handoff.webp) ## What this looks like in manufacturing Consider a US manufacturer that sells fabricated assemblies and installation services. Sales closes a quote with two delivery stages. The customer then changes the second destination before order entry finishes. If an integration matches by customer name and copies the latest address into every line, the first shipment can inherit the wrong destination. The order handoff must retain the approved quote version, resolve each delivery location and return the created ERP identifiers. Sales needs to see what operations accepted, including any lines still awaiting review. ## Records, ownership, and update rules | Record | Owner | Operating rule | | --- | --- | --- | | Customer cross-reference | Sales operations and finance | Match the Salesforce account to the approved Acumatica customer identifier; resolve duplicate accounts before transferring an order. | | Quote revision | Sales operations | Preserve the accepted revision and its approval time so later opportunity edits remain visible as requests. | | Delivery line | Order management | Carry an immutable source-line identifier, ship-to reference, quantity, unit and requested delivery date. | | ERP acceptance | Order management | Return the ERP order key, accepted line status and operational promise without overwriting the original customer request. | ![Record ownership diagram: Customer cross-reference, Quote revision, Delivery line](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams/icp-manufacturing-salesforce-acumatica-order-handoff.webp) *Define the record owner and the rule before enabling updates.* ## Work through the process 1. 01 Choose the business trigger Select the approval state that makes a quote eligible for order preparation. Record which conditions remain outside Salesforce, such as engineering review or a credit hold. Route incomplete cases to an owner with a reason instead of letting an integration infer that every closed-won opportunity is executable. 2. 02 Resolve identities before copying lines Create a reviewed customer and ship-to cross-reference. Compare the quote’s line identifiers and revision with existing ERP links before attempting a create. If the destination already contains the order, reconcile its lines rather than starting another order because the source event was repeated. 3. 03 Separate requested and accepted values Map the requested date from Salesforce into a request field or reviewed staging model. Bring Acumatica’s accepted date and status back into distinct fields. This lets sales explain a gap without a later CRM edit quietly changing a promise owned by planning. 4. 04 Prove the endpoint and recovery path Check the endpoint’s entities, actions and fields with the Acumatica administrator. Exercise a representative draft operation using the intended role. After an uncertain response, look up the external order reference before retrying; record whether the destination accepted the original request. ![4-step operating sequence: Salesforce and Acumatica order handoff for manufacturers](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams-mermaid/icp-manufacturing-salesforce-acumatica-order-handoff.webp) *Follow the operating sequence; unresolved exceptions return to a responsible reviewer.* ## Handle the exceptions explicitly ### Ship-to changes during preparation Hold affected lines for review and retain the previous destination. Apply the change only to the approved revision and shipments still eligible to change. ### A customer exists twice Present both destination identifiers to the data owner. Do not select the first name match or automatically merge financial customer records. ### Only part of an order is accepted Return line-level outcomes to Salesforce. An accepted header must not mark rejected or unresolved lines ready for production. ## What to verify before expanding - Replaying the approved quote returns the same ERP order and line links without an additional order. - An unapproved quote revision remains visible as a request and does not alter released work. - Two ship-to locations on one quote retain their separate references after synchronization. - Sales can distinguish the customer’s requested date from the date order management accepted. ## 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.

No. Define an eligible approval state and verify required customer, line and delivery information. An opportunity can remain commercially won while technical or financial conditions still prevent order acceptance. Can Salesforce and Acumatica both edit delivery dates? They can each hold dates with different meanings. Preserve a requested date and an accepted promise rather than letting both systems overwrite the same field without an owner. What should the first demonstration include? Bring an accepted quote, a repeated transmission and a changed ship-to. Ask to see the resulting ERP identities, rejected lines and the exact status returned to Salesforce.
