Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and Manhattan Associates WMS

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Manhattan Associates WMS 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. Manhattan Associates WMS 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, Items, Shipments & LPNs, Receipts in Manhattan Associates WMS with Employee (HR / Person Details), Employment Status, Work Assignments, Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments 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 Manhattan Associates WMS 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 labor and throughput data into analytics tools for DC performance reporting.
  • 02 Release orders from the ERP or OMS into the WMS and sync status back as they are waved, picked, and shipped.
  • 03 Sync time data by posting raw clock entries from a third-party scheduling tool into Dayforce, or pulling Employee Punches and Schedules into a workforce-analytics database.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

One org structure

Departments, cost centers, and locations that both systems reference stay in agreement, so labor cost, approvals, and reporting in Manhattan Associates WMS 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 Manhattan Associates WMS pointed at the right people.

Where Ceridian Dayforce runs payroll: labor cost in the books

How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and Manhattan Associates 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.

Ceridian Dayforce Manhattan Associates WMS Sub-second propagation

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

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

Manhattan Associates WMS Ceridian Dayforce Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Manhattan Associates WMS for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on modified timestamps.

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 Manhattan Associates WMS 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.
