NetSuite - Windchill Integration
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.
Automated Windchill to NetSuite Engineering Data Sync
The integration runs every 4 hours pulling modified records from Windchill and updating or creating corresponding NetSuite records.
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.
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.
Uses Windchill’s token-based REST APIs to retrieve data securely and reliably.
Sync BOM structures and revisions from Windchill to NetSuite, keeping engineering and manufacturing aligned.
Maintain consistent, up-to-date engineering data in NetSuite by reducing manual updates and version conflicts.
Automate engineering data flow from Windchill to NetSuite to support procurement, planning, and production workflows.
Built using standard Windchill APIs and NetSuite integration tools for secure, reliable, and easy-to-manage synchronization.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
One-way sync from Windchill to NetSuite. Data is pulled from Windchill and pushed into NetSuite; it does not update Windchill from NetSuite.
The integration syncs Items (Parts), BOMs, and BOM Revisions along with relevant metadata like version, material, and reference IDs.
The sync runs automatically every 4 hours and processes only records modified in the last two days.
Yes, it uses custom records for Windchill Integration Info and API configuration, along with mapped custom fields on standard records.
Yes, the script uses a scalable architecture, allowing it to process large datasets efficiently.
No. Windchill is a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), not an ERP. It manages engineering and product data, not business operations.
Windchill is a PLM system that also includes Product Data Management (PDM) capabilities for managing designs, parts, and revisions.
