Why teams connect Akeneo and Anaplan

Turn every Akeneo order into clean revenue: Anaplan and Akeneo keep customers, orders, and payment status aligned in real time, in both directions.

Akeneo runs the storefront — the catalog, the orders, and the buyers placing them. Anaplan records the money behind those orders — invoices, revenue, payments, and the ledger the business closes on. The overlap is every customer, order, and product both sides need to agree on, and when that overlap is bridged by CSV export or an overnight batch, finance reconciles against stale numbers while the store quotes prices or stock the books no longer recognize.

Stacksync syncs Versions, Import and Export Actions, Processes, Cell Data in Anaplan with Families and family variants, Reference entities and records, Assets, Channels and locales in Akeneo field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — an order's totals from Akeneo, its paid-or-overdue state from Anaplan — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by the rules you set.

The result is one shared record of who bought what and whether it has been paid, so the storefront, support, and the finance team all read from the same current data instead of re-keying it between systems.

Common use cases

  • 01 Load actuals from an ERP or warehouse into Anaplan modules so forecasts start from current financials.
  • 02 Sync CRM pipeline data into Anaplan for sales capacity and quota planning.
  • 03 Two-way sync Products and product models with an operational Postgres database or ERP so SKUs, prices, and localized descriptions stay aligned across systems.
  • 04 Push enriched Products and their Assets into an ecommerce storefront or commerce database when product.created and product.updated webhooks fire.

Common sync patterns

Catalog and pricing stay aligned

Products, SKUs, and prices maintained on one side propagate to the other, so what the store sells and what the ledger books stay in step.

Refunds and credits reconcile

Refunds, cancellations, and credit notes raised in either system update the corresponding record in the other, keeping balances honest on both sides.

Where Akeneo originates orders: sales flow into the books

A new or updated order in Akeneo creates or updates the matching invoice or revenue record in Anaplan, so billing and reporting start without re-entry.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Anaplan

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Akeneo objects Anaplan objects How this pairing syncs
Product models Parent records for configurable products; hold shared attribute values that cascade to their variant products, synced alongside Products. Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Product models is specific to Akeneo and Models to Anaplan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Categories The category tree used to classify products; read out for storefront navigation or written in from an ERP to seed catalog structure. Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Categories is specific to Akeneo and Modules to Anaplan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Attributes Attribute definitions plus attribute options and groups; describe the shape of product data, usually mastered in Akeneo and read downstream. Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Line Items to Anaplan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Families and family variants Templates defining which attributes a product carries and how variants axis out; synced to keep catalog structure consistent across systems. Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Lists to Anaplan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reference entities and records Structured lookups like brands, manufacturers, or ingredients with their own records (Enterprise Edition); synced two-way or read into a warehouse for reporting. List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and List Items to Anaplan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assets Asset-family media (images, documents) managed in Akeneo's DAM; linked to products and synced to storefronts and commerce systems. Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. Assets is specific to Akeneo and Versions to Anaplan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Anaplan

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.

Akeneo Anaplan Sub-second propagation

DetectionAkeneo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents.

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

Anaplan Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Anaplan for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling and scheduled export actions.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Akeneo: REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.
  • Anaplan: Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions.

How the Akeneo and Anaplan connectors work

Akeneo

Integration surface
REST API (plus a GraphQL API) and an Events API for webhooks
Authentication
OAuth2 password grant: client_id/secret plus an API user's username/password exchanged at /api/oauth/v1/token for a bearer access_token and refresh_token; Apps use the OAuth2 authorization-code flow
Change detection
Events API webhooks (product.created, product.updated, product.deleted, plus product-model equivalents; product.updated.delta carries old and new values); falls back to polling the 'updated' datetime search filter where the Events API is unavailable
Capabilities

Rate limits
REST protection triggers above roughly 100 requests/second per PIM instance (HTTP 429 with Retry-After); the Events API caps at 4000 requests/hour with a 500ms webhook ack timeout.

Anaplan

Integration surface
REST APIs: a Bulk API that runs predefined import/export actions and a transactional API for model metadata and cell data
Authentication
Token-based sessions obtained via basic authentication, CA certificates, or OAuth 2.0 through Anaplan's authentication service
Change detection
Polling and scheduled export actions; the platform does not expose change events
