Why teams connect Box and Macola ERP
Move the documents and data that Macola ERP produces into Box as files, and let files stored in Box update the records they belong to in Macola ERP, continuously and without exports or manual filing.
Macola ERP runs the business on structured records: Customers, Vendors, Items, Sales Orders. Box holds files and the metadata that describes them: Events, Files, Folders, Metadata. The two do not share a customer table or an order ledger. What they share is documents. Nearly every record Macola 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 Box, from signed contracts to vendor bills to receipts, describe a transaction Macola 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 Customers, Vendors, Items, Sales Orders in Macola ERP and Events, Files, Folders, Metadata in Box 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 Box already labeled and filed, and metadata captured against a stored file can create or update the matching record in Macola 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 Macola ERP and the file in Box never describe two different versions of the same document.
Common use cases
- 01 Run continuous sync during a migration from Macola to a cloud ERP.
- 02 Sync customers, orders, and invoices between Macola and a CRM so sales and finance stay aligned.
- 03 Provision and deprovision Users, Groups, and Collaborations from an HR system or IdP so Box access follows onboarding and offboarding.
- 04 Push generated documents from an ERP or contract system into Box Folders with the right Collaborations applied for the deal team.
Common sync patterns
Metadata that files itself
Record fields from Macola ERP, like customer, date, amount, type, and reference number, become the metadata and tags on the stored file in Box, so storage stays organized without anyone tagging by hand.
Where Box captures inbound files: details reach the record
A contract, vendor bill, or receipt added to Box with its details can create or update the matching record in Macola ERP, so a document captured outside the finance system still reaches the books.
An archive that stays current
As records change in Macola ERP, the corresponding files and metadata in Box are kept in step, so a stored document reflects the latest version rather than a stale one-time export.
What you can sync between Box and Macola 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.
| Box objects | Macola ERP objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Folders Hierarchical containers whose tree, names, and parent moves are mirrored so a target system reflects Box's structure; the account root is always folder ID 0. | Sales Orders Order entry documents created from web or CRM orders and read back for status. | Folders is specific to Box and Sales Orders to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Metadata Structured key-value instances attached to files and folders via metadata templates; synced two-way with database columns for classification and search. | Purchase Orders Procurement documents reconciled against receiving and vendor systems. | Metadata is specific to Box and Purchase Orders to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Collaborations Access grants linking a user or group to a file or folder with a role such as viewer, editor, or co-owner; written to manage sharing programmatically. | Invoices AR documents synced to billing, CRM, and reporting destinations. | Collaborations is specific to Box and Invoices to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users Managed and app users in the enterprise; provisioned, updated, and deprovisioned to keep Box access aligned with an HR or identity source. | GL Accounts & Journal Entries Financial ledger data replicated to warehouses for reporting. | Users is specific to Box and GL Accounts & Journal Entries to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Groups Named user collections used for bulk collaboration; membership synced from a directory or IdP. | Bills of Material Manufacturing structures read for planning and costing integrations. | Groups is specific to Box and Bills of Material to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Tasks Review or approval assignments on a file with due dates and states; read for workflow reporting or written to start approvals. | Work Orders Shop-floor production orders tracked for status and completion syncs. | Tasks is specific to Box and Work Orders to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Box and Macola 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.
Box Macola ERP Sub-second propagation
DetectionBox notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED.
DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Macola ERP as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Macola ERP Box Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in Macola ERP are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. CDC or change tracking on the underlying SQL Server database, or timestamp-based polling.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Box through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Box: Per user: 1,000 API calls per minute and 240 file uploads per minute; exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Box Business plans also carry a licensed monthly API-call allotment per enterprise.
