Why teams connect Box and Infor WMS

Move the documents and data that Infor WMS produces into Box as files, and let files stored in Box update the records they belong to in Infor WMS, continuously and without exports or manual filing.

Infor WMS runs the business on structured records: Locations, Shipments, Appointments, Items. Box holds files and the metadata that describes them: Collaborations, Users, Groups, Tasks. The two do not share a customer table or an order ledger. What they share is documents. Nearly every record Infor WMS touches produces a file that belongs in storage, whether an invoice, a purchase order, a statement, or a shipping doc, and many files that land in Box, from signed contracts to vendor bills to receipts, describe a transaction Infor WMS needs to record. Left unconnected, that link is maintained by hand: someone exports a PDF and drags it into a folder, or downloads a file and keys its details into a record.

Stacksync keeps Locations, Shipments, Appointments, Items in Infor WMS and Collaborations, Users, Groups, Tasks in Box in sync, bi-directionally and in real time. A document and its details, the customer, the type, the date, an amount, an order or invoice number, are mapped field by field, so a file arrives in Box already labeled and filed, and metadata captured against a stored file can create or update the matching record in Infor WMS. Changes on either side show up within seconds, with conflict resolution in place of nightly exports and manual filing.

The result is that a transaction and the document that backs it stay together. Finance, operations, and audit teams find the file behind a record without digging through folders, and the record in Infor WMS and the file in Box never describe two different versions of the same document.

Common use cases

  • 01 Consolidate task and labor data into a BI warehouse for productivity reporting
  • 02 Sync inventory positions from Infor WMS to an OMS or e-commerce platform so promised stock reflects the warehouse
  • 03 Provision and deprovision Users, Groups, and Collaborations from an HR system or IdP so Box access follows onboarding and offboarding.
  • 04 Push generated documents from an ERP or contract system into Box Folders with the right Collaborations applied for the deal team.

Common sync patterns

Metadata that files itself

Record fields from Infor WMS, like customer, date, amount, type, and reference number, become the metadata and tags on the stored file in Box, so storage stays organized without anyone tagging by hand.

Where Box captures inbound files: details reach the record

A contract, vendor bill, or receipt added to Box with its details can create or update the matching record in Infor WMS, so a document captured outside the finance system still reaches the books.

An archive that stays current

As records change in Infor WMS, the corresponding files and metadata in Box are kept in step, so a stored document reflects the latest version rather than a stale one-time export.

What you can sync between Box and Infor WMS

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.

Box objects Infor WMS objects How this pairing syncs
Tasks Review or approval assignments on a file with due dates and states; read for workflow reporting or written to start approvals. Tasks Warehouse task data supports labor and productivity reporting in BI tools. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Metadata Structured key-value instances attached to files and folders via metadata templates; synced two-way with database columns for classification and search. Items Item definitions keep the WMS aligned with the ERP or OMS item master. Metadata is specific to Box and Items to Infor WMS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Collaborations Access grants linking a user or group to a file or folder with a role such as viewer, editor, or co-owner; written to manage sharing programmatically. Inventory On-hand quantities by location feed available-to-promise in order-taking systems. Collaborations is specific to Box and Inventory to Infor WMS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Managed and app users in the enterprise; provisioned, updated, and deprovisioned to keep Box access aligned with an HR or identity source. Receipts / ASNs Advance shipment notices and receipt confirmations sync with procurement systems. Users is specific to Box and Receipts / ASNs to Infor WMS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Named user collections used for bulk collaboration; membership synced from a directory or IdP. Shipment Orders Outbound orders arrive from the ERP or OMS for allocation and picking. Groups is specific to Box and Shipment Orders to Infor WMS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events Enterprise admin event stream, an audit log of uploads, deletes, logins, and shares across the account; read-only, consumed for reporting or change feeds. Waves Wave assignments group orders for fulfillment and can be reported outward. Events is specific to Box and Waves to Infor WMS — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Box and Infor WMS

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.

Box Infor WMS Sub-second propagation

DetectionBox notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. V2 webhooks fire on triggers such as FILE.UPLOADED, FILE.TRASHED, and METADATA_INSTANCE.UPDATED.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Box: Per user: 1,000 API calls per minute and 240 file uploads per minute; exceeding limits returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Box Business plans also carry a licensed monthly API-call allotment per enterprise.
  • Infor WMS: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.
