Why teams connect BambooHR and Infor M3

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Infor M3 and BambooHR share in real time, so the people BambooHR manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

BambooHR is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. Infor M3 runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Manufacturing Orders, Inventory Balances, Invoices, Warehouses in Infor M3 with Employees, Job Information, Compensation, Time Off in BambooHR field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while Infor M3 keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate M3 transactional data into an analytics database for cross-plant reporting
  • 02 Sync M3 item master and inventory balances to commerce or CPQ systems so quotes price against live stock
  • 03 Read Job Information and Departments into an ERP or planning tool so headcount, cost centers, and org structure stay current.
  • 04 Push approved Time Off into capacity and scheduling systems so project plans reflect real availability.

Common sync patterns

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in BambooHR keep expense and purchase approval chains in Infor M3 pointed at the right people.

Where BambooHR runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from BambooHR posts into Infor M3 as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.

Where BambooHR is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in BambooHR, the matching employee record in Infor M3 is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

What you can sync between BambooHR 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.

BambooHR objects Infor M3 objects How this pairing syncs
Compensation Effective-dated pay rate, schedule, and change reason; read into planning and payroll systems with access restricted to authorized fields. Invoices Billing documents flow to finance and CRM tools for AR visibility. Compensation is specific to BambooHR and Invoices to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time Off Requests, balances, and policies; read for absence calendars and capacity planning, with approved requests written from an external scheduling tool. Warehouses Warehouse and facility records scope inventory and order data during mapping. Time Off is specific to BambooHR and Warehouses to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employment Status Effective-dated hire, leave, and termination status; drives automated provisioning and deprovisioning in downstream identity and license systems. Price Lists Pricing data keeps quoting tools consistent with the prices M3 will actually invoice. Employment Status is specific to BambooHR and Price Lists to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Departments and Divisions Org-structure list values; synced to keep cost centers and team groupings consistent across ERP, identity, and analytics systems. Items Item master records provide the SKU, unit, and attribute data other systems price and sell against. Departments and Divisions is specific to BambooHR and Items to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Tables Company-specific effective-dated tables (assets, training, certifications); rows read and written so custom HR data isn't trapped in the HRIS. Customers Customer master records sync with CRM account records to keep one shared customer file. Custom Tables is specific to BambooHR and Customers to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reports Saved company reports retrievable via API; read out on a schedule to feed a warehouse without rebuilding field-by-field queries. Suppliers Supplier records align procurement tools with the vendors M3 purchases from. Reports is specific to BambooHR and Suppliers to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BambooHR 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.

BambooHR Infor M3 Sub-second propagation

DetectionBambooHR notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. The Get Updated Employee IDs endpoint (last-changed timestamps) returns employees inserted, updated, or deleted since a cursor for efficient polling.

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

Infor M3 BambooHR 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 BambooHR through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • BambooHR: Requests are rate-limited per API key with standard REST throttling (429 on excess); bulk reads are best done through saved Reports or the updated-IDs delta endpoint rather than per-employee calls.
  • Infor M3: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.
