Architecture decision
Choose how to connect your systems
Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Customers / Customers to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.
Stacksync managed sync
- Best fit
- Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
- Operating responsibility
- Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
- Before you choose
- Check record matching: Determine whether each customer represents an individual, a company, or a business-unit relationship before matching it to a contact or organization. Retain the source customer ID and destination ID; names and email alone are insufficient. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.
Native vendor integration
- Best fit
- A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Epicor ERP and Fishbowl Manufacturing record types.
- Operating responsibility
- Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
- Before you choose
- First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Customers / Customers, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.
Custom API or workflow
- Best fit
- Consider explicit orchestration for the AR invoices / Sales orders handoff.
- Operating responsibility
- Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
- Before you choose
- Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery. Separate reading history from actions that send messages, grant access, or post transactions.
File or scheduled snapshot
- Best fit
- Consider for a one-time Epicor ERP / Fishbowl Manufacturing migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
- Operating responsibility
- Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
- Before you choose
- Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.
Workflow reference
From a business event to the right update
Open a workflow to see its trigger, record relationships, and expected result.
Customer sync test
Starting event: A change to the selected Customers or Customers record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Epicor ERP Customers and Fishbowl Manufacturing Customers. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.
If it fails: Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.
Supplier bill sync test
Starting event: A change to the selected Bills of materials or Bills of materials record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Epicor ERP Bills of materials and Fishbowl Manufacturing Bills of materials. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Resolve supplier, expense/account codes, entity, currency, and accounting period before bill lines.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Test a duplicate supplier document number in another entity, a partially paid bill, and a closed period.
If it fails: Verify whether the bill was approved or posted before retrying; use the approved adjustment process for posted bills.
Sales order process handoff
Starting event: A change to the selected AR invoices or Sales orders record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Epicor ERP AR invoices and Fishbowl Manufacturing Sales orders. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Create or locate the customer and products first; resolve taxes, currency, and fulfillment references.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Test a partially invoiced order, tax rounding, and a repeated handoff without generating another invoice.
If it fails: Check for an existing destination order before retrying a timed-out create; reconcile line IDs to avoid duplicate fulfillment.
Reconcile Epicor ERP business records with Fishbowl Manufacturing
Starting event: A finance-owned record in Epicor ERP needs operational visibility through Products or Inventory.
- Select Customers or Suppliers with the correct legal entity, period, and currency.
- Define a reporting relationship in Fishbowl Manufacturing; do not equate customer records, ledger accounts, and posted transactions.
- Decide whether the process only reports a financial state or requests an approved accounting action, and maintain a separate transaction ID for each action.
Expected result: Totals reconcile within the same entity/currency/window; a repeated handoff creates no duplicate financial transaction.
If it fails: Verify posting and settlement state before retrying. Use the approved adjustment path for already-posted transactions.
Production readiness
Test the behavior your business depends on
Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.
Customers / Customers
Test case
Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.
Expected result
The expected customer relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.
Bills of materials / Bills of materials
Test case
Test a duplicate supplier document number in another entity, a partially paid bill, and a closed period.
Expected result
The expected supplier bill relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.
AR invoices / Sales orders
Test case
Test a partially invoiced order, tax rounding, and a repeated handoff without generating another invoice.
Expected result
The expected sales order relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.
Shipments / Sales orders
Test case
Test partial fulfillment, an out-of-stock line, and a repeated request that must not create a second shipment.
Expected result
The expected sales order relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.
Direction and permissions
Test case
Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.
Expected result
Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.
Freshness and reconciliation
Test case
Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.
Expected result
The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.
Failure recovery
Find the cause. Restore the data flow.
Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.
Rejected or repeated customer change
Investigate
Inspect Epicor ERP Customers and Fishbowl Manufacturing Customers, their IDs, and the destination error.
Next action
Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.
Rejected or repeated supplier bill change
Investigate
Inspect Epicor ERP Bills of materials and Fishbowl Manufacturing Bills of materials, their IDs, and the destination error.
Next action

Rejected or repeated sales order change
Investigate
Inspect Epicor ERP AR invoices and Fishbowl Manufacturing Sales orders, their IDs, and the destination error.
Next action
Check for an existing destination order before retrying a timed-out create; reconcile line IDs to avoid duplicate fulfillment.
A record type or update is unavailable
Investigate
Check the Epicor ERP and Fishbowl Manufacturing connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.
Next action
Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.
Source and destination disagree after a retry
Investigate
Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.
Next action
Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.
Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.

No. Stacksync documents that pre-existing duplicates are not merged automatically when two-way sync begins. Review the initial dataset and matching plan before enabling it; an empty destination can simplify the first load.
-
Start with one business entity and a stable record ID. Map a small set of editable fields with compatible types, test required values and relationships, then expand after the pilot passes.
-
Check the destination error, field constraints, permissions, and current source value. The Stacksync issues dashboard supports retry and revert; retry reads current source values, so verify the intended record state before acting.
-
Use the current Stacksync pricing page and confirm the supported implementation with the team. Scope the required objects, record volume, update frequency, initial load, and support needs when comparing a managed connector with native or custom development.
-
