Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and Infor CloudSuite

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

Ceridian Dayforce 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 CloudSuite 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 GL journal entries, Items, Customers, Suppliers / vendors in Infor CloudSuite with Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments, Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries, Employee Schedules in Ceridian Dayforce 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 CloudSuite 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 Flow ecommerce orders into CloudSuite and return order status and shipment data to the storefront.
  • 02 Replicate ERP data into a warehouse for reporting without building custom ION integrations.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Employee and Work Assignment data (position, department, location, org unit) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current worker and org data in SQL while HR keeps editing in Dayforce.
  • 04 Push new hires (Employee, Employment Status, Work Assignment) from an ATS or onboarding tool into Dayforce with POST once a candidate is hired, pre-fetching valid XRefCodes for department, position, location, and pay group.

Common sync patterns

New hires ready to transact in Infor CloudSuite

A new person set up in Ceridian Dayforce becomes an employee record in Infor CloudSuite 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 Infor CloudSuite roll up to the same structure Ceridian Dayforce maintains.

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Ceridian Dayforce keep expense and purchase approval chains in Infor CloudSuite pointed at the right people.

What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce and Infor CloudSuite

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.

Ceridian Dayforce objects Infor CloudSuite objects How this pairing syncs
Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions Configuration reference data; POST creates org units and departments and PATCH updates job, position, department, and org-unit data. Used to resolve and validate XRefCodes when mapping employee writes. Sales orders Demand-side documents synced in from commerce channels and out for fulfillment visibility. Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Sales orders to Infor CloudSuite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Time Away From Work & Balances Time-off requests and accrual balances read per employee; pulled into scheduling, payroll, or absence-reporting databases and used to reconcile leave against downstream systems. Purchase orders Supply-side documents shared with procurement and supplier portals. Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Purchase orders to Infor CloudSuite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employee (HR / Person Details) Core worker record keyed by XRefCode; GET Employees returns matching XRefCodes, then a per-employee GET fetches full HR details. New hires are added with POST and edits made with PATCH, so it is read and write. Invoices Billing documents synced to finance and reporting systems. Employee (HR / Person Details) is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Invoices to Infor CloudSuite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employment Status Effective-dated employment status and type (active, leave, terminated) that drives active/terminated state for downstream provisioning; read, and writable as new dated status records. Inventory balances On-hand quantities exposed so external channels quote against real stock. Employment Status is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Inventory balances to Infor CloudSuite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Work Assignments Effective-dated position, department, location, and org-unit assignment; the most-synced record for org charts, provisioning, and analytics. Read and updatable via PATCH. GL journal entries Financial postings replicated for consolidated reporting. Work Assignments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and GL journal entries to Infor CloudSuite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments Compensation Summary returns pay rate and frequency for reporting; Employee Pay Adjustments are written as effective-dated records via PATCH to post pay changes back to Dayforce. Items Product and material masters synced to commerce, CRM, and planning tools. Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Items to Infor CloudSuite — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and Infor CloudSuite

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.

Ceridian Dayforce Infor CloudSuite Sub-second propagation

DetectionCeridian Dayforce notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.

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

Infor CloudSuite Ceridian Dayforce Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Infor CloudSuite for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Event-style BOD publications through Infor ION where configured.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Ceridian Dayforce: Dayforce does not publish numeric rate limits; thresholds vary by tenant and exceeding them returns HTTP 429, so large employee reads are paged (pageSize) and throttled with backoff. Employee list calls return XRefCodes only, so each employee needs a follow-up GET.
  • Infor CloudSuite: Subject to the ION API gateway's rate limiting policies for the tenant.

How the Ceridian Dayforce and Infor CloudSuite connectors work

Ceridian Dayforce

Integration surface
REST API (Dayforce RESTful Web Services, v1/v2), JSON payloads
Authentication
HTTP Basic authentication with a dedicated Web Services user plus the client namespace (Company ID), or an OAuth 2.0 access token from the Dayforce identity endpoint (POST dfid.dayforcehcm.com/connect/token, client_id Dayforce.HCMAnywhere.Client). Token-based auth is recommended, and the Web Services role with the Read Data subfeature must be enabled on the account.
Change detection
No CDC stream. Broad change detection uses delta polling on GET Employees with filterUpdatedStartDate/filterUpdatedEndDate and filterUpdatedEntities to pull only records changed in a window. Dayforce also has native Event Notifications (the Notification Publisher) for lifecycle events — hire, rehire, terminate, and workflow validation — delivered by push to a receiver service or by querying unacknowledged notifications; the publisher runs roughly hourly and each notification must be acknowledged.
