Why teams connect Azure OpenAI and Infor M3

Ground Azure OpenAI on the customers, suppliers, items, and transactions that live in Infor M3, and write the classifications, scores, and extracted fields Azure OpenAI produces back onto those records in real time.

Azure OpenAI is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Infor M3, so Infor M3 always reflects the current state of Azure OpenAI — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

An AI system does not keep customers, orders, or invoices the way an ERP does. What it keeps is derived: the vectors and metadata in a store, or the classifications, extracted fields, and generated text a model produces over records it was handed. Infor M3 is where those source records actually live, across finance, operations, procurement, and inventory, and that data usually stays behind a strict API with many record types. Whatever Azure OpenAI produces, whether a category, a risk flag, an extracted value, or an embedding, only earns its keep when it lands back on the record in Infor M3 where the business is run.

Stacksync connects Usage and quota, Assistants, Vector stores, Deployments in Azure OpenAI with Manufacturing Orders, Inventory Balances, Invoices, Warehouses in Infor M3 and keeps the two sides in sync in real time. Manufacturing Orders, Inventory Balances, Invoices, Warehouses from Infor M3 replicate into Azure OpenAI continuously, so retrieval, classification, and reasoning run against current ERP records instead of last night's extract, and the fields Azure OpenAI generates sync back onto the matching record in Infor M3. Mapping is field-level, matching is on identifiers you choose, and Stacksync handles the ERP's API limits and schema drift, so there is no extraction pipeline to build or babysit.

Because every AI-side item carries the key of the record it came from, results always resolve to the right customer, supplier, or transaction. Azure OpenAI reasons over the business as it actually is within seconds of a change, and the people running operations act on model output where they already work, without exporting a file or logging into a second system.

Common use cases

  • 01 Poll Batch jobs into an operational database and fire the next pipeline step when a job's status turns to completed.
  • 02 Pull per-deployment TPM/RPM usage into a warehouse for FinOps chargeback and quota-exhaustion alerting.
  • 03 Consolidate M3 transactional data into an analytics database for cross-plant reporting
  • 04 Sync M3 item master and inventory balances to commerce or CPQ systems so quotes price against live stock

Common sync patterns

Continuous freshness, no reload

As records are created or corrected in Infor M3, the copy held in Azure OpenAI updates within seconds, so the model side never reasons over stale ERP data.

One consistent identity across both systems

A customer, supplier, item, or transaction in Infor M3 maps to the corresponding entry in Azure OpenAI, so every AI result attaches to the right entity on both sides.

Document extraction round-trip

Purchase orders, invoices, or other documents flow from Infor M3 into Azure OpenAI for parsing or classification, and the structured result returns to the record it came from.

What you can sync between Azure OpenAI 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.

Azure OpenAI objects Infor M3 objects How this pairing syncs
Batch jobs Asynchronous bulk-inference jobs; status and output-file IDs are polled to completion to drive downstream pipeline triggers. Warehouses Warehouse and facility records scope inventory and order data during mapping. Batch jobs is specific to Azure OpenAI and Warehouses to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Usage and quota Per-deployment TPM/RPM consumption and remaining quota, read from usage endpoints and Azure Monitor for cost and throttling reporting. Price Lists Pricing data keeps quoting tools consistent with the prices M3 will actually invoice. Usage and quota is specific to Azure OpenAI and Price Lists to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assistants Persistent assistants (preview) with instructions, tools, and linked files; read as configuration inventory, not authored via sync. Items Item master records provide the SKU, unit, and attribute data other systems price and sell against. Assistants is specific to Azure OpenAI and Items to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vector stores File collections (preview) backing file-search retrieval; read as metadata such as name, file counts, and status. Customers Customer master records sync with CRM account records to keep one shared customer file. Vector stores is specific to Azure OpenAI and Customers to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Deployments Named model deployments (model, version, SKU, assigned TPM capacity) read as a control-plane inventory via Azure Resource Manager; read-only in sync. Suppliers Supplier records align procurement tools with the vendors M3 purchases from. Deployments is specific to Azure OpenAI and Suppliers to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Models Catalog of base and fine-tunable models available per region; read-only reference data used to resolve deployment and fine-tuning targets. Customer Orders Orders created in commerce or CRM systems land in M3 for fulfillment and invoicing. Models is specific to Azure OpenAI and Customer Orders to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure OpenAI 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.

Azure OpenAI Infor M3 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure OpenAI for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling: list endpoints plus GET on job IDs for status.

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

Infor M3 Azure OpenAI 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.

DeliveryAzure OpenAI does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Azure OpenAI's output flows back as field updates on the originating Infor M3 records.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Azure OpenAI: Per-deployment TPM and RPM limits (about 6 RPM per 1000 TPM), scoped by region and subscription; control-plane ARM calls throttle separately.
  • Infor M3: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.
