Why teams connect QAD ERP and Smartsheet

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Smartsheet and QAD ERP.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Smartsheet is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Reports, Attachments, Discussions and Comments, Users and Groups in Smartsheet with General ledger transactions, Items, Customers, Suppliers in QAD ERP bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write records from a CRM or ERP into Smartsheet Rows so ops teams manage intake and status in a grid, then push status Cells back to the source.
  • 02 Pull Reports and Sheets into a warehouse for cross-project reporting and dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 03 Keep supplier and purchase-order records aligned with procurement or AP automation tools.
  • 04 Consolidate data from multiple QAD instances, per plant or region, into one reporting database.

Common sync patterns

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.

Where Smartsheet faces customers and QAD ERP carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from QAD ERP appears alongside the customer in Smartsheet, so front-line teams answer from live data.

Where QAD ERP is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from QAD ERP stays current in Smartsheet, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.

What you can sync between QAD ERP and Smartsheet

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.

QAD ERP objects Smartsheet objects How this pairing syncs
Sales orders Demand records written in from EDI or e-commerce and read out for status Rows Records inside a sheet, each with createdAt/modifiedAt and cells keyed by columnId; the primary unit synced to and from external tables. Sales orders is specific to QAD ERP and Rows to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Procurement documents mirrored to planning and finance systems Columns Define sheet schema and cell type (TEXT_NUMBER, DATE, CONTACT_LIST, PICKLIST, CHECKBOX); read via the API so field mappings can be generated. Purchase orders is specific to QAD ERP and Columns to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Work orders Production records replicated for scheduling and shop-floor analytics Cells Row-by-column values; writes must match the column type and no single cell can exceed 4,000 characters. Work orders is specific to QAD ERP and Cells to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory balances Stock levels by site and location, synced for multi-plant visibility Reports Read-only roll-ups spanning multiple sheets; pulled into a warehouse for cross-sheet reporting, capped at 50,000 rows. Inventory balances is specific to QAD ERP and Reports to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
General ledger transactions Financial postings exported for consolidated reporting Attachments Files linked to rows or sheets; posting one carries a 10x rate cost, so bulk file sync is throttled to 30 per minute. General ledger transactions is specific to QAD ERP and Attachments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning systems Discussions and Comments Threaded comments on rows and sheets; read out to sync collaboration history or activity into another system. Items is specific to QAD ERP and Discussions and Comments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between QAD ERP and Smartsheet

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.

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

Smartsheet QAD ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionSmartsheet notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Sheet-scoped webhooks subscribed to *.* events notify on row and cell changes.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • QAD ERP: Subject to instance capacity and the platform's API limits.
  • Smartsheet: 300 requests per minute per access token; heavy calls like posting attachments cost 10x (30/min). A 429 returns errorCode 4003, back off ~60s.
