Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and Sage 100

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Sage 100 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. Sage 100 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, Inventory Items, Sales Orders, AR Invoices in Sage 100 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 Sage 100 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 Sync customers, invoices, and payment status into a CRM so sales sees AR standing without opening the ERP.
  • 02 Push e-commerce and EDI orders into the Sales Order module instead of rekeying them.
  • 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

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 Sage 100 is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

New hires ready to transact in Sage 100

A new person set up in Ceridian Dayforce becomes an employee record in Sage 100 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 Sage 100 roll up to the same structure Ceridian Dayforce maintains.

What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce and Sage 100

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 Sage 100 objects How this pairing syncs
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. GL Accounts Chart of accounts read for mapping transactions in finance integrations. Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and GL Accounts to Sage 100 — 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. Journal Entries Posted GL activity replicated to warehouses for FP&A. Employee Schedules is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Journal Entries to Sage 100 — 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. Customers AR customer master records synced to CRMs for account and credit visibility. Org Units, Departments, Jobs & Positions is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Customers to Sage 100 — 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. Vendors AP vendor master records synced with procurement and payment tools. Time Away From Work & Balances is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Vendors to Sage 100 — 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. Inventory Items Item master with pricing and quantities, synced to e-commerce catalogs. Employee (HR / Person Details) is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Inventory Items to Sage 100 — 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. Sales Orders Order headers and lines, the usual write target for web and EDI orders. Employment Status is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Sales Orders to Sage 100 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and Sage 100

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 Sage 100 Sub-second propagation

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

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Sage 100 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Sage 100 Ceridian Dayforce Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Sage 100 for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Scheduled 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 Sage 100 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.
