Why teams connect Amazon S3 and QAD ERP

Move the documents and data that QAD ERP produces into Amazon S3 as files, and let files stored in Amazon S3 update the records they belong to in QAD ERP, continuously and without exports or manual filing.

QAD ERP runs the business on structured records: Work orders, Inventory balances, General ledger transactions, Items. Amazon S3 holds files and the metadata that describes them: Object metadata, Object tags, Object versions, Prefixes (folders). The two do not share a customer table or an order ledger. What they share is documents. Nearly every record QAD ERP touches produces a file that belongs in storage, whether an invoice, a purchase order, a statement, or a shipping doc, and many files that land in Amazon S3, from signed contracts to vendor bills to receipts, describe a transaction QAD ERP needs to record. Left unconnected, that link is maintained by hand: someone exports a PDF and drags it into a folder, or downloads a file and keys its details into a record.

Stacksync keeps Work orders, Inventory balances, General ledger transactions, Items in QAD ERP and Object metadata, Object tags, Object versions, Prefixes (folders) in Amazon S3 in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. A document and its details, the customer, the type, the date, an amount, an order or invoice number, are mapped field by field, so a file arrives in Amazon S3 already labeled and filed, and metadata captured against a stored file can create or update the matching record in QAD ERP. Changes on either side show up within seconds, with conflict resolution in place of nightly exports and manual filing.

The result is that a transaction and the document that backs it stay together. Finance, operations, and audit teams find the file behind a record without digging through folders, and the record in QAD ERP and the file in Amazon S3 never describe two different versions of the same document.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate data from multiple QAD instances, per plant or region, into one reporting database.
  • 02 Sync items, customers, and orders between QAD and a CRM so sales teams work outside ERP screens.
  • 03 Mirror Objects under a given Bucket and prefix into another bucket, region, or a warehouse external stage for backup or downstream processing.
  • 04 Trigger a database or ERP record update the moment an S3 Event Notification fires an object-created event, for example when a partner drops an EDI or invoice file into an inbound prefix.

Common sync patterns

Audit-ready retention

Every transaction's supporting file lives in Amazon S3 beside its metadata, giving finance and audit teams a complete, searchable trail tied back to the record in QAD ERP.

Documents filed with their context

Files that QAD ERP produces land in Amazon S3 labeled with the customer, document type, and reference number they belong to, so the right copy is one search away instead of buried in a folder.

Metadata that files itself

Record fields from QAD ERP, like customer, date, amount, type, and reference number, become the metadata and tags on the stored file in Amazon S3, so storage stays organized without anyone tagging by hand.

What you can sync between Amazon S3 and QAD ERP

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Amazon S3 objects QAD ERP objects How this pairing syncs
Buckets Top-level, region-scoped containers that hold objects; enumerated to discover the namespaces and prefixes a sync should cover. Sales orders Demand records written in from EDI or e-commerce and read out for status Buckets is specific to Amazon S3 and Sales orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Objects Files stored under a key; content is read with GET and written with PUT, and each object's key/size/ETag/LastModified is the unit indexed into a database. Purchase orders Procurement documents mirrored to planning and finance systems Objects is specific to Amazon S3 and Purchase orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object metadata System metadata (Content-Type, size, ETag, LastModified) plus user-defined x-amz-meta-* headers; user metadata is fixed at write time and only changeable by rewriting the object. Work orders Production records replicated for scheduling and shop-floor analytics Object metadata is specific to Amazon S3 and Work orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object tags Up to 10 key-value tags per object, mutable in place via the tagging API independent of content, so classification and retention labels sync two-way without rewriting files. Inventory balances Stock levels by site and location, synced for multi-plant visibility Object tags is specific to Amazon S3 and Inventory balances to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object versions When bucket versioning is enabled every write creates a new version ID; prior versions and delete markers are readable for history and audit syncs. General ledger transactions Financial postings exported for consolidated reporting Object versions is specific to Amazon S3 and General ledger transactions to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Prefixes (folders) Logical path segments in object keys used to scope a sync and to parallelize throughput, since S3 rate limits partition by prefix. Items Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning systems Prefixes (folders) is specific to Amazon S3 and Items to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon S3 and QAD ERP

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Amazon S3 QAD ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionAmazon S3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. S3 Event Notifications push object-created, object-removed, and object-tagging events to SNS, SQS, Lambda, or EventBridge.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to QAD ERP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

QAD ERP Amazon S3 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls QAD ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on the API surface.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Amazon S3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon S3: S3 sustains at least 3,500 PUT/COPY/POST/DELETE and 5,500 GET/HEAD requests per second per partitioned prefix and scales higher automatically; bursts can return HTTP 503 SlowDown while it repartitions.
  • QAD ERP: Subject to instance capacity and the platform's API limits.

How the Amazon S3 and QAD ERP connectors work

Amazon S3

Change detection
S3 Event Notifications push object-created, object-removed, and object-tagging events to SNS, SQS, Lambda, or EventBridge; there is no modified-since query, so polling relies on each object's LastModified from ListObjectsV2
