Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and Macola ERP

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Macola ERP 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. Macola ERP 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 Vendors, Items, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders in Macola ERP with Employment Status, Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments, Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries 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 Macola ERP 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 Run continuous sync during a migration from Macola to a cloud ERP.
  • 02 Sync customers, orders, and invoices between Macola and a CRM so sales and finance stay aligned.
  • 03 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.
  • 04 Replicate Compensation Summary and pay data into a warehouse for headcount, labor-cost, and compensation reporting without manual BI exports.

Common sync patterns

New hires ready to transact in Macola ERP

A new person set up in Ceridian Dayforce becomes an employee record in Macola ERP 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 Macola ERP 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 Macola ERP pointed at the right people.

What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce and Macola ERP

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 Macola ERP objects How this pairing syncs
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. Bills of Material Manufacturing structures read for planning and costing integrations. Work Assignments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Bills of Material to Macola ERP — 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. Work Orders Shop-floor production orders tracked for status and completion syncs. Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Work Orders to Macola ERP — 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. Customers Customer master records synced with CRMs so sales works from ERP truth. Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Customers to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employee Schedules Shift and schedule assignments; created and updated through POST and PATCH schedule endpoints and paged with pageSize, used to push schedules from a WFM tool or pull them for analytics. Vendors Vendor master data aligned with procurement and AP tools. Employee Schedules is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Vendors to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Items Inventory item master records mirrored to ecommerce and planning systems. Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Items to Macola ERP — 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. Sales Orders Order entry documents created from web or CRM orders and read back for status. Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Sales Orders to Macola ERP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and Macola ERP

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 Macola ERP Sub-second propagation

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

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Macola ERP as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Macola ERP Ceridian Dayforce Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Macola ERP are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. CDC or change tracking on the underlying SQL Server database, or timestamp-based polling.

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.

How the Ceridian Dayforce and Macola ERP 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.
