Why teams connect Azure Synapse Analytics and Infor M3

Put Infor M3's records in Azure Synapse Analytics as live tables for reporting and analysis, without extract jobs, and write results back where Infor M3 can use them.

ERP data is some of the most asked-for data in the warehouse and some of the hardest to get: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and extract jobs are brittle. Whether Infor M3 carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, the analysis belongs in Azure Synapse Analytics next to everything else the company measures.

Stacksync syncs Invoices, Warehouses, Price Lists, Items from Infor M3 into tables in Azure Synapse Analytics continuously, managing API limits and schema drift along the way. The connection is bi-directional, so values computed in Azure Synapse Analytics can be written back to fields in Infor M3 where that is useful.

Common use cases

  • 01 Load CRM and ERP records into Synapse dedicated SQL pool tables for enterprise reporting.
  • 02 Publish warehouse aggregates (account health scores, LTV) from Synapse back into operational tools like a CRM.
  • 03 Mirror M3 customers and invoices into a CRM or warehouse so sales and finance share one AR view
  • 04 Feed manufacturing order status to a customer portal for order tracking in fashion, food, or equipment supply chains

Common sync patterns

Group reporting across systems

Combine Infor M3's records with data synced from other systems in Azure Synapse Analytics for consolidated views no single system can produce.

Write-back where Infor M3 exposes writable fields

Classifications or reference values computed in Azure Synapse Analytics sync back onto the corresponding records in Infor M3.

Where Infor M3 holds the books: finance reporting from live data

Financial records land in Azure Synapse Analytics as they change, so period-end reporting queries current numbers rather than last night's extract.

What you can sync between Azure Synapse Analytics 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 Synapse Analytics objects Infor M3 objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces that separate staging, integration, and presentation layers. Purchase Orders PO headers and lines sync outward so buyers and receiving teams see the same demand. Schemas is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Purchase Orders to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materialized views Precomputed aggregates that speed reads of frequently synced result sets. Manufacturing Orders Production order status feeds portals and CRMs so promised dates reflect the shop floor. Materialized views is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Manufacturing Orders to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
SQL pools Dedicated or serverless compute contexts that determine how and where queries run. Inventory Balances On-hand quantities by warehouse drive available-to-promise in downstream channels. SQL pools is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Inventory Balances to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables (dedicated SQL pool) Distributed warehouse tables that serve as sync destinations for analytics workloads. Invoices Billing documents flow to finance and CRM tools for AR visibility. Tables (dedicated SQL pool) is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Invoices to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
External tables Tables over files in the data lake, queried through serverless SQL and often read-only in syncs. Warehouses Warehouse and facility records scope inventory and order data during mapping. External tables is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Warehouses to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated projections used when downstream tools should not read base tables directly. Price Lists Pricing data keeps quoting tools consistent with the prices M3 will actually invoice. Views is specific to Azure Synapse Analytics and Price Lists to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Synapse Analytics 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 Synapse Analytics Infor M3 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Azure Synapse Analytics for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on watermark columns.

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

Infor M3 Azure Synapse Analytics 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 applied to Azure Synapse Analytics as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Infor M3: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.
