Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and Infor M3
Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Infor M3 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 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 Inventory Balances, Invoices, Warehouses, Price Lists in Infor M3 with Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions, Time Away From Work & Balances, Employee (HR / Person Details), Employment Status 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 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 Feed manufacturing order status to a customer portal for order tracking in fashion, food, or equipment supply chains
- 02 Keep supplier and purchase order data aligned between M3 and procurement tools
- 03 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.
- 04 React to Dayforce Event Notifications for hire, rehire, and terminate to provision or disable IdP and app access and update downstream records as the changes post.
Common sync patterns
Where Ceridian Dayforce is the worker system of record: one employee master
When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Ceridian Dayforce, the matching employee record in Infor M3 is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.
New hires ready to transact in Infor M3
A new person set up in Ceridian Dayforce becomes an employee record in Infor M3 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 M3 roll up to the same structure Ceridian Dayforce maintains.
What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce 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.
| Ceridian Dayforce objects | Infor M3 objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Customer Orders Orders created in commerce or CRM systems land in M3 for fulfillment and invoicing. | Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Customer Orders to Infor M3 — 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. | Purchase Orders PO headers and lines sync outward so buyers and receiving teams see the same demand. | Employee (HR / Person Details) is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Purchase Orders to Infor M3 — 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. | Manufacturing Orders Production order status feeds portals and CRMs so promised dates reflect the shop floor. | Employment Status is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Manufacturing Orders to Infor M3 — 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. | Inventory Balances On-hand quantities by warehouse drive available-to-promise in downstream channels. | Work Assignments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Inventory Balances to Infor M3 — 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. | Invoices Billing documents flow to finance and CRM tools for AR visibility. | Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Invoices to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries Time-and-attendance punches; raw clock entries are added with POST and punches removed with DELETE, so time data flows both ways between Dayforce and scheduling or workforce tools. | Warehouses Warehouse and facility records scope inventory and order data during mapping. | Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Warehouses to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce 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.
Ceridian Dayforce Infor M3 Sub-second propagation
DetectionCeridian Dayforce notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No CDC stream.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Infor M3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Infor M3 Ceridian Dayforce 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 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 M3: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.

How the Ceridian Dayforce and Infor M3 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.

FAQ
Ceridian Dayforce and Infor M3 integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Ceridian Dayforce and Infor M3: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Ceridian Dayforce's Time Away From Work & Balances and Employee (HR / Person Details)), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Infor M3: Most M3 records are scoped by a company, division, facility, and warehouse hierarchy, which integration mappings need to carry explicitly. Ceridian Dayforce: Reads are two-step: GET Employees returns only the XRefCodes matching the filter, then a per-employee GET fetches full HR details, so large tenants require many paged requests. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Ceridian Dayforce and Infor M3 without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Ceridian Dayforce and Infor M3 records are not retained after a sync operation.
