Why teams connect QAD ERP and Workday

Keep Workday and QAD ERP agreeing on customers, invoices, and balances, whether they split the finance workload or one is replacing the other.

A dedicated finance tool and an ERP end up side by side for practical reasons: a subsidiary runs lighter software than headquarters, billing runs in a specialist system while the enterprise system holds the wider view, or the company is mid-migration and both are live. Whatever the split, the two systems describe overlapping customers and transactions, and that overlap drifts without a live connection.

Stacksync syncs Custom Reports (RaaS), Workers, Organizations, Positions in Workday with General ledger transactions, Items, Customers, Suppliers in QAD ERP in real time and in both directions. You decide which system wins on which field, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • 02 Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
  • 03 Push EDI orders from trading partners into QAD as sales orders.
  • 04 Keep supplier and purchase-order records aligned with procurement or AP automation tools.

Common sync patterns

One customer and vendor master

Where both systems keep records of the same organizations, corrections made in either propagate to the other.

Subsidiary to headquarters

Where Workday serves a business unit and QAD ERP is the group system, transactions and customer records roll up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

Where Workday handles billing: invoices land in QAD ERP

Invoices and payment activity from the billing side post through to the enterprise system automatically.

What you can sync between QAD ERP and Workday

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 Workday objects How this pairing syncs
Suppliers Vendor master data aligned with procurement and AP automation tools Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.

How changes propagate between QAD ERP and Workday

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 Workday 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 Workday through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Workday QAD ERP Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Workday for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment.
