Why teams connect D2l Brightspace and Infor M3

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Infor M3 and D2l Brightspace share in real time, so the people D2l Brightspace manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

D2l Brightspace 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 Items, Customers, Suppliers, Customer Orders in Infor M3 with Grades, Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress), Quizzes, Assignments (Dropbox) in D2l Brightspace 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 Keep supplier and purchase order data aligned between M3 and procurement tools
  • 02 Consolidate M3 transactional data into an analytics database for cross-plant reporting
  • 03 Two-way sync of Users and Enrollments between Brightspace and an SIS or HRIS so new learners and their course rosters stay aligned without manual CSV imports.
  • 04 Write Grades reconciled in a warehouse back onto Brightspace grade objects, and read grade values out for transcript and completion reporting.

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 Infor M3 roll up to the same structure D2l Brightspace maintains.

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in D2l Brightspace keep expense and purchase approval chains in Infor M3 pointed at the right people.

Where D2l Brightspace runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from D2l Brightspace posts into Infor M3 as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.

What you can sync between D2l Brightspace 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.

D2l Brightspace objects Infor M3 objects How this pairing syncs
Org Units The org structure — course offerings, sections, departments, and semesters; read for hierarchy and created/updated to provision courses from a database. Price Lists Pricing data keeps quoting tools consistent with the prices M3 will actually invoice. Org Units is specific to D2l Brightspace and Price Lists to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Grades Grade objects, categories, schemes, and per-user grade values in the Learning Environment (le) component; values can be read out and written back onto the gradebook. Items Item master records provide the SKU, unit, and attribute data other systems price and sell against. Grades is specific to D2l Brightspace and Items to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress) Course content structure plus per-user completion; progress is read into a warehouse and topics can be created and updated via the API. Customers Customer master records sync with CRM account records to keep one shared customer file. Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress) is specific to D2l Brightspace and Customers to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Quizzes Quiz objects and per-user attempts and results; attempt data is read out for engagement and completion analytics. Suppliers Supplier records align procurement tools with the vendors M3 purchases from. Quizzes is specific to D2l Brightspace and Suppliers to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Assignments (Dropbox) Dropbox folders, submissions, and feedback; submission and evaluation data is read into reporting systems and feedback can be written back. Customer Orders Orders created in commerce or CRM systems land in M3 for fulfillment and invoicing. Assignments (Dropbox) is specific to D2l Brightspace and Customer Orders to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups and Sections Group categories, groups, and section membership within an org unit; enrollments are read and written to keep cohort assignments aligned. Purchase Orders PO headers and lines sync outward so buyers and receiving teams see the same demand. Groups and Sections is specific to D2l Brightspace and Purchase Orders to Infor M3 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
