Why teams connect Akeneo and Infor LN

Keep the storefront in step with the back office: Akeneo and Infor LN share products, inventory, and orders in real time, in both directions.

Akeneo runs the storefront and takes the orders; Infor LN owns the item master, the stock on hand, and the finance behind every transaction. The two overlap wherever the same products, customers, and sales matter to both — and when re-keying or an overnight batch is what connects them, the store oversells items it can't ship, quotes prices finance never set, or leaves buyers waiting on status that already changed.

Stacksync syncs Product models, Categories, Attributes, Families and family variants in Akeneo with Bills of material, Business partners, Sales orders, Purchase orders in Infor LN field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields — stock and pricing from Infor LN, order and customer detail from Akeneo — and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push enriched Products and their Assets into an ecommerce storefront or commerce database when product.created and product.updated webhooks fire.
  • 02 Write Categories, Families, and Attributes from an ERP or supplier feed into Akeneo to build and maintain catalog structure.
  • 03 Sync item masters, BOMs, and production orders between LN and MES or PLM systems on the shop floor.
  • 04 Flow EDI and ecommerce sales orders into LN and return order status and shipment confirmations.

Common sync patterns

One product catalog

Where both systems keep item records, SKUs, descriptions, and attributes stay aligned so the store and the back office describe the same product.

Fulfillment and shipment status close the loop

As orders are picked, shipped, or invoiced in Infor LN, tracking and status flow back to Akeneo so buyers see accurate updates.

One customer master

Where both systems keep customer records, a correction in either propagates to the other, ending dual maintenance.

What you can sync between Akeneo and Infor LN

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 Infor LN objects How this pairing syncs
Products Core catalog records addressed by UUID (recommended) or identifier/SKU; synced two-way with databases, ERPs, and storefronts. Values are scoped per channel and locale. Items Manufacturing item masters synced to PLM, MES, and commerce systems. Products is specific to Akeneo and Items to Infor LN — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Product models Parent records for configurable products; hold shared attribute values that cascade to their variant products, synced alongside Products. Bills of material Product structures shared with engineering and planning tools. Product models is specific to Akeneo and Bills of material to Infor LN — 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. Business partners LN's unified customer/supplier records matched against CRM accounts. Categories is specific to Akeneo and Business partners to Infor LN — 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. Sales orders Demand documents synced in from EDI and commerce channels. Attributes is specific to Akeneo and Sales orders to Infor LN — 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. Purchase orders Supply documents shared with supplier and procurement systems. Families and family variants is specific to Akeneo and Purchase orders to Infor LN — 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. Production orders Shop-floor work orders synced with MES for execution visibility. Reference entities and records is specific to Akeneo and Production orders to Infor LN — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Akeneo and Infor LN

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 Infor LN 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 Infor LN through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Infor LN Akeneo Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Infor LN for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Event-style BOD publications through Infor ION where configured.

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.
  • Infor LN: Subject to the ION API gateway's tenant rate limits in cloud deployments.

How the Akeneo and Infor LN 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
