Why teams connect Ceridian Dayforce and Sage 300

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Sage 300 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 300 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 Journal Batches, Order Entry Orders, Purchase Orders, Inventory Items in Sage 300 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 300 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 Write web and EDI orders into Order Entry and return order status to the source channel.
  • 02 Replicate GL, AR, and AP detail to a warehouse for consolidated multi-company reporting.
  • 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

New hires ready to transact in Sage 300

A new person set up in Ceridian Dayforce becomes an employee record in Sage 300 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 300 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 Sage 300 pointed at the right people.

What you can sync between Ceridian Dayforce and Sage 300

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 300 objects How this pairing syncs
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. AR Customers Receivables customer master synced to CRMs and billing tools. Employee (HR / Person Details) is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and AR Customers to Sage 300 — 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. AP Vendors Payables vendor master synced with procurement and payment systems. Employment Status is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and AP Vendors to Sage 300 — 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 Accounts Chart of accounts read for transaction mapping across integrations. Work Assignments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and GL Accounts to Sage 300 — 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. Journal Batches GL entries staged in batches that must be posted; a common write target for external systems. Compensation Summary & Pay Adjustments is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Journal Batches to Sage 300 — 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. Order Entry Orders Sales orders written from e-commerce or EDI feeds. Employee Punches & Raw Clock Entries is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Order Entry Orders to Sage 300 — 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. Purchase Orders Procurement documents read for spend visibility and receiving. Employee Schedules is specific to Ceridian Dayforce and Purchase Orders to Sage 300 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Ceridian Dayforce and Sage 300

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 300 Sub-second propagation

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

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Sage 300 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Sage 300 Ceridian Dayforce Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Sage 300 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 300 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.
