Why teams connect Okta and QAD ERP

Keep the employee, group, and account records that QAD ERP and Okta share aligned in real time, so a person added, moved, or offboarded in one system shows up correctly in the other within seconds.

An ERP and an identity system describe the same workforce from two angles. QAD ERP holds the authoritative record of who works at the company, and often their department, title, manager, and cost center. Okta controls the accounts, groups, and access those same people use every day. When the two aren't connected, every hire, transfer, and departure has to be keyed twice, and the window between someone leaving in QAD ERP and their account still being active in Okta is a real security exposure.

Stacksync syncs Sales orders, Purchase orders, Work orders, Inventory balances in QAD ERP with Groups, Applications, Group Rules, Factors (Authenticators) in Okta in real time, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly jobs. A new hire, a department change, or a termination propagates within seconds, and where you want changes to flow both ways — the ERP's org data into the directory, account status back into the ERP — the same mapping handles it.

That matters most at offboarding and audit time. When the directory reflects the ERP's current headcount and org structure, disabling access no longer depends on someone remembering to update a second system, and access reviews start from a roster both sides already agree on.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replicate inventory and work-order data into a warehouse for supply chain analytics across plants.
  • 02 Push EDI orders from trading partners into QAD as sales orders.
  • 03 Read Application assignments and Factors into a database to report on who can reach which app and which users have strong MFA enrolled.
  • 04 Drive Group Rules and policy assignments from HR attributes so access changes the moment a title, department, or location changes.

Common sync patterns

Keep profile attributes current

A name, email, title, manager, or department corrected in either system updates the other, so directory entries and employee records don't drift apart.

Align group and department membership

When someone changes team or department, their group or organizational-unit membership updates to match, keeping access tied to their current role.

One roster on a shared key

People are matched across both systems on an identifier you choose, such as work email or employee ID, so there is a single accurate list of who is active.

What you can sync between Okta 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.

Okta objects QAD ERP objects How this pairing syncs
Applications App integrations (SAML, OIDC, SWA) with per-user and per-group assignments; read and updated to manage which identities can reach each downstream app. Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM Applications is specific to Okta and Customers to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Group Rules Dynamic rules that add users to groups from profile attributes; read and written to automate access based on department, title, or location. Suppliers Vendor master data aligned with procurement and AP automation tools Group Rules is specific to Okta and Suppliers to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Factors (Authenticators) MFA enrollments per user (Okta Verify, WebAuthn, SMS, email); read for security-posture reporting and reset when a device is lost or rotated. Sales orders Demand records written in from EDI or e-commerce and read out for status Factors (Authenticators) is specific to Okta and Sales orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Policies Sign-on, password, and authenticator-enrollment policies with their rules; read to audit access controls or updated to manage them centrally. Purchase orders Procurement documents mirrored to planning and finance systems Policies is specific to Okta and Purchase orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
System Log Immutable audit event stream of logins, admin changes, and lifecycle events; read-only, polled by timestamp and used as the change feed and SIEM source. Work orders Production records replicated for scheduling and shop-floor analytics System Log is specific to Okta and Work orders to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Devices Registered and managed device records tied to users; read to correlate access with device posture and to feed inventory or conditional-access reporting. Inventory balances Stock levels by site and location, synced for multi-plant visibility Devices is specific to Okta and Inventory balances to QAD ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Okta 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.

Okta QAD ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionOkta notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time.

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

QAD ERP Okta 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 Okta through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Okta: Rate limits are enforced per org, per endpoint group, per minute and vary by Okta edition; responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset headers and exceeding one returns HTTP 429. The System Log is more tightly limited (about 120 requests/minute) and a separate concurrent-request cap (default 75 in-flight transactions) also applies.
  • QAD ERP: Subject to instance capacity and the platform's API limits.

How the Okta and QAD ERP connectors work

Okta

Integration surface
REST API (Okta Management API, /api/v1) with Event Hooks for outbound events and the System Log API as the change feed
Authentication
SSWS API tokens (Authorization: SSWS {token}) scoped to the creating admin's permissions, or OAuth 2.0 for Okta service apps using a private-key-JWT client-credentials grant with granular scopes (DPoP supported)
Change detection
Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time verification handshake); the System Log API (/api/v1/logs) is polled by the since parameter and the next Link header for a near-real-time change feed
