Turn Exostar's Supply Chain Platform into an API

Read your discrete orders, invoices and 2FA credential dates from Exostar with one API call each. A workflow can check each weekday morning which discrete orders still show no invoice lines, partner by partner, and email you the list.

Works with your own Exostar account. Fous is an independent product.

Automate Exostar with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

  • Discrete orders with no invoice lines, every partner

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 7:00
    Step 1
    For each partner application you name, find the orders not yet invoiced.
    Step 2
    Keep the orders whose Invoice Info tab shows no invoice lines.
    Step 3
    Email you the list, one section per partner, with each order's schedule lines and quantities.
  • 2FA credential expiry, checked weekly

    Build this
    Starts
    Every Monday at 8:00
    Step 1
    Check the 2FA credentials and applications on the MAG Dashboard.
    Step 2
    Stop when the credential expires more than 30 days from today.
    Step 3
    Email you the credential strength, the expiry date and your applications with their status.
  • Today's invoices, posted to your accounting system

    Build this
    Starts
    When your system calls the workflow's webhook with the partner and today's order numbers
    Step 1
    For each order number you send, look up its invoices in that partner's application.
    Step 2
    Keep the invoices that were not there on the last run.
    Step 3
    Post invoice number, order number, invoice type, supplier invoice date and lines to your webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Find orders not yet invoiced” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "portal.exostar.com/find_orders_not_invoiced",
    "input": {
      "partner": "Acme",
      "order_number": null
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "partner": "Acme",
    "orders": [
      {
        "order_number": "4500812",
        "buyer_contact": "Acme Procurement, Plant 2",
        "supplier_contact": "Northwind Accounts Receivable",
        "invoice_lines_found": false,
        "schedule_lines": [
          {
            "line": "1.1",
            "item": "Bracket, machined, 7075-T6",
            "quantity": 40,
            "unit_price": 18.5
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Exostar’s own options

Exostar describes SupplyLine, its supply chain collaboration platform for aerospace and defense, as exchanging purchase orders, advanced shipping notices, acknowledgments and demand schedules, and says it connects with nearly any ERP system, with Exostar's tools and support where no ready connection exists. No price is published. Day to day, you work in each partner's application behind the Managed Access Gateway.

Signing in to Exostar

You sign in to Exostar's Managed Access Gateway with your Exostar User ID, and partners like Boeing require each supplier user to hold a two-factor credential, such as an Exostar OTP hardware token. One MAG account opens every partner application you are granted. With Fous you sign in through Exostar's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256 and never returned by the API.

Worth knowing

One Supply Chain Platform per partner
The MAG Dashboard lists each partner's application separately, such as Supply Chain Platform - Boeing (BSCP). An Application Administrator approves access to each one, and each method you build takes the partner as an input.
Invoice numbers have partner rules
For Boeing, invoice numbers allow letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores only, up to 22 characters (16 for Boeing ISC). A reused number needs a suffix such as A or -1.
Dates and quantities are checked
Boeing requires the Supplier Invoice Date as YYYY-MM-DD and rejects back-dated invoices. A decimal in the Quantity field causes a rejection, so invoice quantities are whole numbers.
2FA credentials are bought and expire
OTP credentials are bought from Exostar's web store, during First Time Login or later under My Account, Manage OTP. The MAG Dashboard shows the credential's strength and its expiry date.
