Why teams connect Infor CloudSuite and Microsoft Power Bi

Put Infor CloudSuite's records into Microsoft Power Bi as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Microsoft Power Bi computes back where Infor CloudSuite can use them.

Microsoft Power Bi is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Infor CloudSuite, so Infor CloudSuite always reflects the current state of Microsoft Power Bi — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

ERP data is some of the most requested data for analysis and some of the hardest to pull: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and export jobs break on every upgrade. Whether Infor CloudSuite carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, those numbers belong in Microsoft Power Bi, next to the product, behavioral, and web data the team already measures.

Common use cases

  • 01 Load dataset Refresh History into an operational database to alert on-call teams when scheduled refreshes fail or run long.
  • 02 Sync admin Activity Events into a warehouse for tenant-wide security, access, and usage reporting.
  • 03 Keep supplier and purchase order data aligned with procurement and AP automation tools.
  • 04 Align the ERP customer master with billing and support systems so finance and CX share one account record.

Common sync patterns

Where Infor CloudSuite is the HR system of record: workforce and cost analysis

Worker and organization data from Infor CloudSuite syncs into Microsoft Power Bi for headcount, cost, and utilization reporting alongside other company data.

Write-back where Infor CloudSuite exposes writable fields: segments and scores return

Segments, scores, or metrics computed in Microsoft Power Bi sync onto the matching records in Infor CloudSuite, so operations act on what the analysis found.

Where Infor CloudSuite holds the books: revenue and finance dashboards from live data

Financial records from Infor CloudSuite land in Microsoft Power Bi as they change, so revenue, margin, and spend dashboards read current figures rather than last night's export.

What you can sync between Infor CloudSuite and Microsoft Power Bi

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.

Infor CloudSuite objects Microsoft Power Bi objects How this pairing syncs
Sales orders Demand-side documents synced in from commerce channels and out for fulfillment visibility. Activity Events (Audit Log) Admin audit log of user and content actions read via GET /admin/activityevents; loaded for security, access, and usage reporting across the tenant. Sales orders is specific to Infor CloudSuite and Activity Events (Audit Log) to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Supply-side documents shared with procurement and supplier portals. Users and Access Workspace users and roles read via GET /groups/{id}/users or the admin scanner APIs; read for access reviews and identity reconciliation against an IdP. Purchase orders is specific to Infor CloudSuite and Users and Access to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoices Billing documents synced to finance and reporting systems. Datasets (Semantic Models) Tabular models behind reports; their rows are read with DAX via POST datasets/{id}/executeQueries, and datasource and refresh metadata via REST list endpoints. Invoices is specific to Infor CloudSuite and Datasets (Semantic Models) to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory balances On-hand quantities exposed so external channels quote against real stock. Reports Report definitions and metadata read via GET /reports and per-workspace GET /groups/{id}/reports; enumerated to mirror the content inventory into a catalog. Inventory balances is specific to Infor CloudSuite and Reports to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
GL journal entries Financial postings replicated for consolidated reporting. Dashboards and Tiles Dashboards and their pinned tiles read via GET /dashboards and /dashboards/{id}/tiles; inventoried to map dashboard content back to its source datasets. GL journal entries is specific to Infor CloudSuite and Dashboards and Tiles to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Product and material masters synced to commerce, CRM, and planning tools. Dataflows Power Query ETL definitions read via GET /groups/{id}/dataflows; used to document lineage from upstream sources into datasets. Items is specific to Infor CloudSuite and Dataflows to Microsoft Power Bi — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Infor CloudSuite and Microsoft Power Bi

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.

Infor CloudSuite Microsoft Power Bi Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Infor CloudSuite for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Event-style BOD publications through Infor ION where configured.

DeliveryMicrosoft Power Bi does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Microsoft Power Bi's output flows back as field updates on the originating Infor CloudSuite records.

Microsoft Power Bi Infor CloudSuite Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Microsoft Power Bi for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Pull-based: no webhooks or change-data-capture.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Infor CloudSuite through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Infor CloudSuite: Subject to the ION API gateway's rate limiting policies for the tenant.
  • Microsoft Power Bi: Endpoints throttle per user and per app and return HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Execute Queries allows up to 120 requests per minute per user and caps a query at 100,000 rows (or 1,000,000 values) and 15 MB; admin scanner metadata APIs are limited to about 500 requests per hour with 16 concurrent.
