Why teams connect Anaplan and Ukg Pro

Keep the employee, department, and cost records that Anaplan and Ukg Pro 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. Ukg Pro 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 List Items, Versions, Import and Export Actions, Processes in Anaplan with Configuration Setup (Code Tables), Time & Attendance (UTA), Employee (Person Details), Employment Details in Ukg Pro 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 Keep dimension lists (products, cost centers, territories) aligned with master data systems of record.
  • 02 Export forecast versions to a warehouse for variance reporting against actuals.
  • 03 Push new hires (Employee, Employment, Job) into an ERP, IdP, or app database when onboarding completes so account, cost-center, and payroll setup fire on hire instead of manual report exports.
  • 04 Replicate Compensation and pay-statement / earnings history into a warehouse for headcount, labor-cost, and payroll reporting without manual BI exports.

Common sync patterns

People-driven costs land in finance

Compensation, reimbursements, or other costs tied to a person on the Ukg Pro 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 Ukg Pro, a matching employee or payee record appears in Anaplan, ready for payroll, expenses, or cost allocation without anyone rekeying the details.

One employee identity

A person's name, ID, or contact details corrected in either system update the other, so finance and HR reference the same person instead of maintaining two versions.

What you can sync between Anaplan and Ukg Pro

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 Ukg Pro objects How this pairing syncs
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) Pay statements, direct-deposit accounts, and earnings history; read-only pay data replicated into finance and warehouse systems for labor-cost reporting. Cell Data is specific to Anaplan and Payroll (Pay Statements, Direct Deposit, Earnings) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Terminations Termination transactions posted with a terminationDate and a reason code that must match the tenant's configured reason table; drives account deprovisioning. Models is specific to Anaplan and Terminations to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Configuration Setup (Code Tables) Reference data such as jobs, locations, positions, earnings, and deduction codes; used to resolve and validate field values when mapping records during sync. Modules is specific to Anaplan and Configuration Setup (Code Tables) to Ukg Pro — 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. Time & Attendance (UTA) Timekeeping and worked-hours data exposed by the UTA services; synced into scheduling, payroll, or workforce-analytics databases. Line Items is specific to Anaplan and Time & Attendance (UTA) to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. Employee (Person Details) Core worker record with demographics and identifiers; read by listing employee IDs then fetching each profile, and created on hire via the personnel/onboarding endpoints. Lists is specific to Anaplan and Employee (Person Details) to Ukg Pro — 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. Employment Details Employment status, hire and service dates, and company assignment; the record that drives active/terminated state for provisioning downstream. List Items is specific to Anaplan and Employment Details to Ukg Pro — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Anaplan and Ukg Pro

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 Ukg Pro 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 Ukg Pro through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ukg Pro Anaplan Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Pro notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

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.
  • Ukg Pro: An API gateway throttles calls per client over a rolling window (typically per minute); UKG does not publish exact numeric thresholds. Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429, and UKG recommends a roughly one-second looping backoff before resuming (a Retry-After header is not yet standard). Reads are offset-paginated.

How the Anaplan and Ukg Pro connectors work

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
Capabilities

Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions

Ukg Pro

Integration surface
REST API (UKG Pro HCM REST services) with separate Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs, plus legacy SOAP-based UKG Pro Web Services
Authentication
Core HCM REST APIs use HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated web service account, plus a Customer API Key and a User API Key sent as headers (found under System Configuration > Security > Service Account Administration); the Onboarding and Recruiting REST APIs instead require a bearer Authorization Token from the token endpoint.
Change detection
No CDC stream. UKG Pro publishes Pro HCM Webhook Events for changes such as new hire, employee and job detail changes, termination, and PTO, which Stacksync subscribes to for near-real-time triggers; bulk and historical loads use paged reads with each service's modified-since filters.
Capabilities

Rate limits
An API gateway throttles calls per client over a rolling window (typically per minute); UKG does not publish exact numeric thresholds. Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429, and UKG recommends a roughly one-second looping backoff before resuming (a Retry-After header is not yet standard). Reads are offset-paginated.
