Why teams connect Amazon S3 and Infor M3

Move the documents and data that Infor M3 produces into Amazon S3 as files, and let files stored in Amazon S3 update the records they belong to in Infor M3, continuously and without exports or manual filing.

Infor M3 runs the business on structured records: Suppliers, Customer Orders, Purchase Orders, Manufacturing Orders. Amazon S3 holds files and the metadata that describes them: Buckets, Objects, Object metadata, Object tags. The two do not share a customer table or an order ledger. What they share is documents. Nearly every record Infor M3 touches produces a file that belongs in storage, whether an invoice, a purchase order, a statement, or a shipping doc, and many files that land in Amazon S3, from signed contracts to vendor bills to receipts, describe a transaction Infor M3 needs to record. Left unconnected, that link is maintained by hand: someone exports a PDF and drags it into a folder, or downloads a file and keys its details into a record.

Stacksync keeps Suppliers, Customer Orders, Purchase Orders, Manufacturing Orders in Infor M3 and Buckets, Objects, Object metadata, Object tags in Amazon S3 in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. A document and its details, the customer, the type, the date, an amount, an order or invoice number, are mapped field by field, so a file arrives in Amazon S3 already labeled and filed, and metadata captured against a stored file can create or update the matching record in Infor M3. Changes on either side show up within seconds, with conflict resolution in place of nightly exports and manual filing.

The result is that a transaction and the document that backs it stay together. Finance, operations, and audit teams find the file behind a record without digging through folders, and the record in Infor M3 and the file in Amazon S3 never describe two different versions of the same document.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push orders captured in a CRM into M3 as customer orders without manual re-entry
  • 02 Mirror M3 customers and invoices into a CRM or warehouse so sales and finance share one AR view
  • 03 Index every new Object's key, size, LastModified, and user metadata into a Postgres catalog table so applications query S3 contents in SQL instead of paging ListObjectsV2.
  • 04 Two-way sync Object tags with a database so retention or classification labels set in an internal app write back onto S3 objects via the tagging API without rewriting the files.

Common sync patterns

Metadata that files itself

Record fields from Infor M3, like customer, date, amount, type, and reference number, become the metadata and tags on the stored file in Amazon S3, so storage stays organized without anyone tagging by hand.

Where Amazon S3 captures inbound files: details reach the record

A contract, vendor bill, or receipt added to Amazon S3 with its details can create or update the matching record in Infor M3, so a document captured outside the finance system still reaches the books.

An archive that stays current

As records change in Infor M3, the corresponding files and metadata in Amazon S3 are kept in step, so a stored document reflects the latest version rather than a stale one-time export.

What you can sync between Amazon S3 and Infor M3

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.

Amazon S3 objects Infor M3 objects How this pairing syncs
Object tags Up to 10 key-value tags per object, mutable in place via the tagging API independent of content, so classification and retention labels sync two-way without rewriting files. Items Item master records provide the SKU, unit, and attribute data other systems price and sell against. Object tags is specific to Amazon S3 and Items to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object versions When bucket versioning is enabled every write creates a new version ID; prior versions and delete markers are readable for history and audit syncs. Customers Customer master records sync with CRM account records to keep one shared customer file. Object versions is specific to Amazon S3 and Customers to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Prefixes (folders) Logical path segments in object keys used to scope a sync and to parallelize throughput, since S3 rate limits partition by prefix. Suppliers Supplier records align procurement tools with the vendors M3 purchases from. Prefixes (folders) is specific to Amazon S3 and Suppliers to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Multipart uploads In-progress large-object uploads assembled from parts; objects above ~100 MB (required above 5 GB) are written this way, and incomplete uploads persist until completed or aborted. Customer Orders Orders created in commerce or CRM systems land in M3 for fulfillment and invoicing. Multipart uploads is specific to Amazon S3 and Customer Orders to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Buckets Top-level, region-scoped containers that hold objects; enumerated to discover the namespaces and prefixes a sync should cover. Purchase Orders PO headers and lines sync outward so buyers and receiving teams see the same demand. Buckets is specific to Amazon S3 and Purchase Orders to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Objects Files stored under a key; content is read with GET and written with PUT, and each object's key/size/ETag/LastModified is the unit indexed into a database. Manufacturing Orders Production order status feeds portals and CRMs so promised dates reflect the shop floor. Objects is specific to Amazon S3 and Manufacturing Orders to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Amazon S3 and Infor M3

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.

Amazon S3 Infor M3 Sub-second propagation

DetectionAmazon S3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. S3 Event Notifications push object-created, object-removed, and object-tagging events to SNS, SQS, Lambda, or EventBridge.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Infor M3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Infor M3 Amazon S3 Sub-second propagation

DetectionInfor M3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event publishing through Infor ION (Business Object Documents), configured in ION, or scheduled polling of API endpoints.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Amazon S3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Amazon S3: S3 sustains at least 3,500 PUT/COPY/POST/DELETE and 5,500 GET/HEAD requests per second per partitioned prefix and scales higher automatically; bursts can return HTTP 503 SlowDown while it repartitions.
  • Infor M3: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.
