Why teams connect Active Directory and Manhattan Associates WMS

Keep the employee, group, and account records that Manhattan Associates WMS and Active Directory share aligned in real time, so a person added, moved, or offboarded in one system shows up correctly in the other within seconds.

An ERP and an identity system describe the same workforce from two angles. Manhattan Associates WMS holds the authoritative record of who works at the company, and often their department, title, manager, and cost center. Active Directory controls the accounts, groups, and access those same people use every day. When the two aren't connected, every hire, transfer, and departure has to be keyed twice, and the window between someone leaving in Manhattan Associates WMS and their account still being active in Active Directory is a real security exposure.

Stacksync syncs Receipts, Locations & Zones, Returns, Appointments in Manhattan Associates WMS with Groups, Group memberships, Devices, Directory roles in Active Directory in real time, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly jobs. A new hire, a department change, or a termination propagates within seconds, and where you want changes to flow both ways — the ERP's org data into the directory, account status back into the ERP — the same mapping handles it.

That matters most at offboarding and audit time. When the directory reflects the ERP's current headcount and org structure, disabling access no longer depends on someone remembering to update a second system, and access reviews start from a roster both sides already agree on.

Common use cases

  • 01 Stream ship confirmations and tracking to the ERP and CRM so customer service answers from live data.
  • 02 Mirror inventory positions across the distribution network into a central warehouse for network-level visibility.
  • 03 Read Devices and service principals into a database for identity, asset, and license inventory across the tenant.
  • 04 Two-way sync Users and Groups between Microsoft Entra ID and an HRIS or Postgres so joiners, movers, and leavers provision and deprovision automatically.

Common sync patterns

Create accounts from new records

A person added in one system gets a matching account or record in the other automatically, so a new hire can be granted access without anyone re-keying their details.

Disable access at offboarding

When a person is marked terminated or inactive in one system, the matching account is disabled in the other within seconds, closing the gap that leaves ex-employees with live access.

Keep profile attributes current

A name, email, title, manager, or department corrected in either system updates the other, so directory entries and employee records don't drift apart.

How changes propagate between Active Directory and Manhattan Associates WMS

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Active Directory Manhattan Associates WMS Sub-second propagation

DetectionActive Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (change tracking) for Users and Groups, plus change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) for near-real-time triggers.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Manhattan Associates WMS through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Manhattan Associates WMS Active Directory Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Manhattan Associates WMS for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on modified timestamps.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Active Directory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Active Directory: Graph throttles by resource-unit cost per app per tenant in 10-second windows (about 3,500–8,000 units by tenant size); directory delta tokens expire after ~7 days.
