Why teams connect QAD ERP and Zuora

Keep Zuora 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 Payment, Usage, Order and Amendment, Account (Billing Account) in Zuora with Work orders, Inventory balances, General ledger transactions, Items 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 Two-way sync of Accounts and Subscriptions with an operational Postgres database so product and finance teams read billing state in SQL while changes flow back into Zuora.
  • 02 Master the Product Catalog (Products and Product Rate Plans) in a database or PIM and write pricing changes into Zuora.
  • 03 Replicate inventory and work-order data into a warehouse for supply chain analytics across plants.
  • 04 Push EDI orders from trading partners into QAD as sales orders.

Common sync patterns

Migration without a hard cutover

When one system is replacing the other, run both in parallel with records matching until the switch is complete.

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

What you can sync between QAD ERP and Zuora

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.

How changes propagate between QAD ERP and Zuora

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

Zuora QAD ERP Sub-second propagation

DetectionZuora notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Incremental extraction on the indexed UpdatedDate column via ZOQL/AQuA stateful mode (high-water mark), plus Callout Notifications (webhooks) for.

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.
  • Zuora: Concurrency limits: 40 concurrent requests by default, 80 for Object Queries, 200 for high-volume operations (doubled for Performance Booster); HTTP 429 on breach with exponential backoff; OAuth token endpoint is not bound by the limit.
