Connecting to any system through Makini is straightforward. You select the product you want to connect to, log in with your credentials, and receive an API token. The process takes just a few clicks and works consistently across all 2,000+ supported systems. For most systems (85-90% of cases), you only need the instance URL, username, and password. Some systems may require additional steps like API token generation, and we provide detailed authentication guides for these cases. The connection experience is designed to be simple enough that non-technical users can complete it without IT support.
Makini's purchase order data model includes comprehensive field coverage across all major ERP systems. Standard fields include order number, line items, vendor information, quantities, unit prices, dates (order date, required date, delivery date), status, currency, ship-to and bill-to addresses, payment terms, and custom fields. Each line item includes product/material codes, descriptions, quantities, unit of measure, pricing, and delivery information. The specific fields available depend on the source system's capabilities. You can view the complete field mapping for any connected system in the Makini dashboard, and custom fields can be added as needed for your specific requirements.
500-level errors indicate issues on Makini's side or with the connected system. These are typically temporary and retrying the request after a brief delay often succeeds. Implement exponential backoff for retries—wait a few seconds, then progressively longer intervals. If errors persist beyond a few retries, check the Makini status page for service disruptions. The error may also stem from the connected system experiencing issues rather than Makini itself. For persistent 500 errors, contact support with the request ID from the error response. Include details about when the error started, which operations are affected, and which connections are impacted. Our support team can quickly identify whether the issue is systemic or connection-specific.
Makini supports create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations, though availability varies by system and entity type. Most systems support creating and updating core entities like purchase orders, work orders, and inventory items. Read operations are universally supported across all entity types. Delete operations are less commonly supported due to system constraints—many industrial systems use soft deletes or status changes rather than true deletion. Update operations may be limited to specific fields depending on system configuration and business rules. For example, some systems prevent modifying purchase orders after approval. We recommend validating specific operation support for your use case during the technical deep dive.
