Why teams connect Anaplan and Success Factors
Keep the employee, department, and cost records that Anaplan and Success Factors share consistent in real time, so the finance system and the people system stop drifting apart.
Anaplan runs the money side of the company: who gets paid, what it costs, and which part of the business the cost belongs to. Success Factors runs the people side: who works here, which team they sit in, and how their employment changes over time. The two overlap on the same people and the same org structure, because every employee is also a payee and every department is also a cost center. When that overlap is maintained by hand, a new hire, a transfer, or a termination has to be keyed twice, and the two systems start to disagree about who is active and where the cost lands.
Stacksync syncs Modules, Line Items, Lists, List Items in Anaplan with EmpCompensation, Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter), Position, PerEmail and PerPhone in Success Factors bi-directionally and in real time. A person added, updated, or deactivated on either side appears on the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly batch jobs.
That matters most when money follows a people event. A hire that finance can pay, a leaver whose access ends, a transfer that redirects cost to the right team, all happen from one change instead of two, so headcount and spend reconcile from the same set of records.
Common use cases
- 01 Sync CRM pipeline data into Anaplan for sales capacity and quota planning.
- 02 Push approved plan and target numbers from Anaplan back to the CRM or compensation systems.
- 03 Keep Foundation Objects (department, location, cost center) aligned between SuccessFactors and an ERP so cost-center and org hierarchies match.
- 04 Write updated PerEmail, PerPhone, and User attributes back into SuccessFactors from an identity or directory system so contact data stays current.
Common sync patterns
Status changes propagate
A role, department, or employment-status change in either system updates the other within seconds, so cost allocation, access, and reporting reflect the current state.
People-driven costs land in finance
Compensation, reimbursements, or other costs tied to a person on the Success Factors side flow into Anaplan for posting, so the books reflect what people actually cost without manual re-entry.
New person becomes a known record in finance
When someone is added in Success Factors, a matching employee or payee record appears in Anaplan, ready for payroll, expenses, or cost allocation without anyone rekeying the details.
What you can sync between Anaplan and Success Factors
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.
| Anaplan objects | Success Factors objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. | PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. | Modules is specific to Anaplan and PerPerson to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. | EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. | Line Items is specific to Anaplan and EmpEmployment to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. | EmpJob Effective-dated job info: position, department, manager, FTE, pay grade, cost center; the most-synced record for downstream HR and provisioning. | Lists is specific to Anaplan and EmpJob to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. | EmpCompensation Effective-dated pay and compensation; usually read into a warehouse for reporting, writable for comp updates as new dated slices. | List Items is specific to Anaplan and EmpCompensation to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. | Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) Org-structure master data (department, location, cost center, division); mastered elsewhere and written in, or read out to build org charts. | Versions is specific to Anaplan and Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. | Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. | Import and Export Actions is specific to Anaplan and Position to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Anaplan and Success Factors
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.
Anaplan Success Factors 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 Success Factors through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Success Factors Anaplan Sub-second propagation
DetectionSuccess Factors notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling).
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Anaplan through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Anaplan: Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions.
- Success Factors: OData calls are throttled at the tenant level (Access Limits for OData V2); large reads must be paginated (default page size 1000) via $top/$skip or paging cursors.
