Why teams connect Macola ERP and Tableau

Put Macola ERP's records into Tableau as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Tableau computes back where Macola ERP can use them.

Tableau is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Macola ERP, so Macola ERP always reflects the current state of Tableau — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

ERP data is some of the most requested data for analysis and some of the hardest to pull: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and export jobs break on every upgrade. Whether Macola ERP carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, those numbers belong in Tableau, next to the product, behavioral, and web data the team already measures.

Common use cases

  • 01 Read Databases, Tables, and Fields from the Metadata API to populate a data catalog with Tableau lineage and column definitions.
  • 02 Mirror the Projects and Workbooks content hierarchy into an internal catalog so teams discover dashboards from a central index.
  • 03 Mirror item availability and inventory into an ecommerce storefront or customer portal.
  • 04 Replicate GL and AR data into a warehouse for consolidated financial reporting.

Common sync patterns

Write-back where Macola ERP exposes writable fields: segments and scores return

Segments, scores, or metrics computed in Tableau sync onto the matching records in Macola ERP, so operations act on what the analysis found.

Where Macola ERP holds the books: revenue and finance dashboards from live data

Financial records from Macola ERP land in Tableau as they change, so revenue, margin, and spend dashboards read current figures rather than last night's export.

Where Macola ERP runs order-to-cash: customer and account analytics

Orders, invoices, and account records from Macola ERP join the behavioral and usage data Tableau already tracks, so customer analysis spans activity and dollars in one view.

What you can sync between Macola ERP and Tableau

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.

Macola ERP objects Tableau objects How this pairing syncs
Items Inventory item master records mirrored to ecommerce and planning systems. Users Site users with site roles and group membership; read via REST for access reviews and to reconcile identities against an HR or IdP source. Items is specific to Macola ERP and Users to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales Orders Order entry documents created from web or CRM orders and read back for status. Databases and Tables External assets indexed by Tableau Catalog; queried via the Metadata API GraphQL endpoint for lineage and impact analysis. Sales Orders is specific to Macola ERP and Databases and Tables to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase Orders Procurement documents reconciled against receiving and vendor systems. Extract Refresh Tasks Scheduled extract refreshes; status and history read via REST, with DatasourceRefreshSucceeded and Failed events delivered by webhooks. Purchase Orders is specific to Macola ERP and Extract Refresh Tasks to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoices AR documents synced to billing, CRM, and reporting destinations. Fields and Columns Columns and calculated fields with their descriptions, exposed by the Metadata API; read to populate a data catalog with governed definitions. Invoices is specific to Macola ERP and Fields and Columns to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
GL Accounts & Journal Entries Financial ledger data replicated to warehouses for reporting. Published Data Sources Published data sources (.tdsx); their underlying rows are read via the VizQL Data Service, and refresh state is tracked through content webhooks. GL Accounts & Journal Entries is specific to Macola ERP and Published Data Sources to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bills of Material Manufacturing structures read for planning and costing integrations. Workbooks Workbook content and metadata read via the REST and Metadata APIs; create, update, and delete events fire webhooks for change detection. Bills of Material is specific to Macola ERP and Workbooks to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Macola ERP and Tableau

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.

Macola ERP Tableau 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.

DeliveryTableau does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Tableau's output flows back as field updates on the originating Macola ERP records.

Tableau Macola ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionTableau notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire on workbook and data source create/update/delete and extract refresh events.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Macola ERP as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Tableau: Tableau Cloud enforces per-site REST rate limits and returns HTTP 429; a PAT allows only one concurrent session and expires after 15 consecutive days of non-use.
