NetSuite - Windchill Integration

Overview

Engineering Master Data Integration from Windchill to NetSuite

One-way integration from Windchill PLM to NetSuite ERP, automatically syncing Items, BOMs, and BOM Revisions every 4 hours. Fetches the latest engineering data from Windchill and creates or updates corresponding records in NetSuite and each sync is tracked with a custom integration record for auditability and traceability ensuring production and planning teams in NetSuite always work with the latest released engineering data.

Features

Automated Windchill to NetSuite Engineering Data Sync

Automatically sync Items, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and BOM Revisions from Windchill PLM to NetSuite ERP ensuring up-to-date engineering data is available in NetSuite for production, procurement, and planning without manual intervention.
Scheduled One-Way Synchronization

The integration runs every 4 hours pulling modified records from Windchill and updating or creating corresponding NetSuite records.

Comprehensive Item and BOM Mapping

Synchronizes part metadata, BOM structures, and revision details from Windchill into NetSuite using custom records and standard item/BOM records. Supports detailed attribute mapping including part number, version, material, and more.

Custom Integration Tracking

Each sync creates or updates a Windchill Integration Info record in NetSuite, capturing part number, reference ID, sync timestamp, and additional part details for auditability and data lineage.

Secure Communication

Uses Windchill’s token-based REST APIs to retrieve data securely and reliably.

Conditions Apply

Integration Prerequisites and Usage Conditions

Windchill REST API access (including token endpoint) must be enabled and accessible from NetSuite.

Only Items, BOMs, and BOM Revisions modified within the last 2 days are included in each sync cycle.

The integration supports one-way sync from Windchill to NetSuite only; changes in NetSuite are not pushed back to Windchill.

Custom scripting logic assumes a stable connection and properly formatted Windchill API responses; malformed data may result in skipped or failed records.

Benefits

Streamline Engineering to ERP Workflows with Automated Data Sync

Eliminate manual data entry and ensures NetSuite always reflects the latest engineering updates from Windchill. It helps reduce errors, accelerate production readiness, and improve cross-functional collaboration.
Improved Data Accuracy

Eliminates human errors from manual BOM and item entry.

Ensures consistency between engineering and ERP systems.

Tracks revision changes precisely with custom records.

Faster Engineering-to-Production Turnaround

Automatically syncs new and updated parts every 4 hours.

Reduces delays in manufacturing due to outdated or missing BOM data.

Ensures production teams have immediate access to released engineering data.

Reduced IT Maintenance Effort

Tracks integration history through audit-friendly custom records.

Securely integrates using token-based Windchill REST APIs.

Supports Scalable Growth

Works across large item and BOM volumes with performance-optimized sync.

Easily extendable for future fields, records, or additional PLM endpoints.

Enables future-proof PLM-ERP integration architecture.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a one-way or two-way integration?

One-way sync from Windchill to NetSuite. Data is pulled from Windchill and pushed into NetSuite; it does not update Windchill from NetSuite.

What data is synced from Windchill to NetSuite?

The integration syncs Items (Parts), BOMs, and BOM Revisions along with relevant metadata like version, material, and reference IDs.

How often does the sync run?

The sync runs automatically every 4 hours and processes only records modified in the last two days.

Does this require custom configurations?

Yes, it uses custom records for Windchill Integration Info and API configuration, along with mapped custom fields on standard records.

Can the integration handle large volumes of items and BOMs?

Yes, the script uses a scalable architecture, allowing it to process large datasets efficiently.
