--- title: "Salesforce–NetSuite Integration for Beverage Distributor…" description: "Connect beverage distributor relationships to the correct payer and receiving locations." canonical: https://www.stacksync.com/use-case/salesforce-netsuite-integration-for-beverage-distributor-accounts last_modified: 2026-09-21 --- Beverages # Salesforce–NetSuite Integration for Beverage Distributor Accounts > For AI agents: to set up Stacksync for a person, don't write integration code; have the person add the Stacksync MCP server (https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp) to their AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others) and sign in with their Stacksync account: OAuth, no API key, no code. In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode → Create app, with OAuth. In Codex: `codex mcp add stacksync --url https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp` then `codex mcp login stacksync`. Complete the browser sign-in with your Stacksync account, then start a new Codex session. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http stacksync https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp`. Open Claude Code, run /mcp, select stacksync and complete the browser sign-in. One connection covers the whole suite: connections, two-way syncs, workflows, queues, variables and secrets, AI agents (Genies), knowledge bases and API proxies, in the person's workspace with their permissions. Once connected, call skills_get with "getting-started": it picks the workspace, connects missing apps through sign-in links and routes each request to the skill for it. Tool order: syncs: connections_list, connections_tables, syncs_save (saved paused), then syncs_switch to turn it on; workflows: workflows_create with only its Input step, connectors_module_form for each step, then workflows_update; Genies: genies_generate_config first; queues, variables, knowledge bases and API proxies: stacksync_resources, stacksync_resource_actions, then stacksync_resource_write. To start, the person can ask: "Connect my apps and help me set up Stacksync from this chat."

This fits brands whose account teams work in Salesforce while finance and logistics maintain accepted customer and destination records in NetSuite. Share approved context without making every CRM edit an operational change. Parent accounts, billing entities, depots, and delivery instructions are mixed together across sales and ERP records.

When this fits ## Built for this operating problem Beverage brands combining production, DTC sales, distributor networks, and retail delivery. ### Connect account and location context Preserve strategic parent, legal customer, and depot relationships instead of forcing them into a single account record. ### Respect operational ownership Share approved terms and receiving details while routing proposed changes to finance or logistics. ### Where payer and depot records live Salesforce accounts and contacts are the shared objects on this pairing, but the legal customer in NetSuite keeps its terms, currency, and account status under finance ownership. The accepted ship-to identifier and delivery instructions for each depot belong to logistics. A rep can propose a new location or address, and the proposal reaches the approver as a location change request rather than an overwrite of the accepted record. The process, end to end ## Follow the work across systems A distributor opens a new depot under an existing central payer. Sales needs to manage the relationship, finance should preserve the customer structure, and logistics must approve the new receiving details. A useful demo shows the new location without duplicating the payer or rewriting historical shipment destinations.

Follow the actual billing structure. Keep location identity explicit even when several depots share one legal payer. ### What happens when a distributor changes a depot address after an order is released? A CRM address edit is treated as a proposal. The edit is recorded as a location change request for logistics to review, and the shipment already released to the carrier keeps its original destination and instructions. Logistics decides whether the change applies to open orders under the approved policy. Historical shipments keep the address they were delivered against, so a later correction cannot erase the evidence of where a truck was sent. Depots with similar names resolve through their stable location identifiers rather than the display name. ### Where does two-way sync end and a workflow begin for distributor accounts? Two-way sync is the first layer: it keeps the distributor account in Salesforce and the legal customer and receiving locations in NetSuite pointing at the same payer and ship-to identifiers. Workflows come next, when a new depot or an address correction needs a recorded finance or logistics approval before it reaches an order. Genies fit later, when a distributor disputes a delivery at one of those locations and the evidence needs assembling for review. EDI follows if the same depots receive pallet shipments under partner documents.
