Why teams connect BambooHR and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Microsoft Dynamics NAV 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. Microsoft Dynamics NAV 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 Companies, Customers, Vendors, Items in Microsoft Dynamics NAV with Departments and Divisions, Custom Tables, Reports, Employees 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 Microsoft Dynamics NAV 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 Replicate G/L and ledger entries into a warehouse for consolidated finance reporting.
  • 02 Keep inventory availability current in storefronts and customer portals.
  • 03 Push approved Time Off into capacity and scheduling systems so project plans reflect real availability.
  • 04 Feed Compensation and custom-table data to a warehouse for HR analytics with field-level access control.

Common sync patterns

New hires ready to transact in Microsoft Dynamics NAV

A new person set up in BambooHR becomes an employee record in Microsoft Dynamics NAV in time to submit expenses, enter time, or approve a purchase, without waiting on manual setup.

One org structure

Departments, cost centers, and locations that both systems reference stay in agreement, so labor cost, approvals, and reporting in Microsoft Dynamics NAV roll up to the same structure BambooHR maintains.

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in BambooHR keep expense and purchase approval chains in Microsoft Dynamics NAV pointed at the right people.

What you can sync between BambooHR and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

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 Microsoft Dynamics NAV objects How this pairing syncs
Job Information Effective-dated job title, department, division, location, and reporting line; synced so org charts and provisioning systems track internal moves. Sales Orders & Invoices Sales documents created from external orders and read back for posting status. Job Information is specific to BambooHR and Sales Orders & Invoices to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Compensation Effective-dated pay rate, schedule, and change reason; read into planning and payroll systems with access restricted to authorized fields. Purchase Orders Purchasing documents reconciled with receiving and vendor systems. Compensation is specific to BambooHR and Purchase Orders to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — 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. G/L Entries Posted ledger entries replicated to warehouses for finance reporting. Time Off is specific to BambooHR and G/L Entries to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — 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. Item Ledger Entries Inventory movement history read for stock and costing analytics. Employment Status is specific to BambooHR and Item Ledger Entries to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — 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. Dimensions Analytical codes carried on documents and entries for reporting splits. Departments and Divisions is specific to BambooHR and Dimensions to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — 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. Companies Per-company data partitions that scope every sync. Custom Tables is specific to BambooHR and Companies to Microsoft Dynamics NAV — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between BambooHR and Microsoft Dynamics NAV

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 Microsoft Dynamics NAV 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 applied to Microsoft Dynamics NAV as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Microsoft Dynamics NAV BambooHR Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Microsoft Dynamics NAV are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on modified/timestamp fields, or SQL Server change tracking/CDC on on-premises databases.

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.
