Why teams connect Infor LN and Namely

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

Namely 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 LN 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 Sales orders, Purchase orders, Production orders, Warehouse / inventory in Infor LN with Groups, Teams, Reports, Profile Fields in Namely 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 LN 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 Run a two-way sync of business partners between LN and a CRM so sales and manufacturing share account data.
  • 02 Keep inventory positions aligned between LN and distribution or aftermarket service systems.
  • 03 Feed Namely Reports as JSON into a database on a schedule for roster, turnover, and diversity dashboards without manual CSV exports.
  • 04 Provision or deprovision accounts in an IdP or directory when a Profile's user_status or start_date changes, and write the resulting user ID and email back onto the Profile.

Common sync patterns

Where Namely runs payroll: labor cost in the books

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

Where Namely is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Namely, the matching employee record in Infor LN is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

New hires ready to transact in Infor LN

A new person set up in Namely becomes an employee record in Infor LN in time to submit expenses, enter time, or approve a purchase, without waiting on manual setup.

What you can sync between Infor LN and Namely

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 LN objects Namely objects How this pairing syncs
Business partners LN's unified customer/supplier records matched against CRM accounts. Profile Fields Metadata describing standard and company-defined custom field sections; read to discover schema and generate mappings. Business partners is specific to Infor LN and Profile Fields to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Demand documents synced in from EDI and commerce channels. Events Home-feed items such as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and new arrivals; typically read-only into comms tools. Sales orders is specific to Infor LN and Events to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Supply documents shared with supplier and procurement systems. Profiles The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling. Purchase orders is specific to Infor LN and Profiles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Production orders Shop-floor work orders synced with MES for execution visibility. Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. Production orders is specific to Infor LN and Job Titles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Warehouse / inventory Stock positions exposed so external channels reflect real availability. Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. Warehouse / inventory is specific to Infor LN and Job Tiers to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Project structures used in engineer-to-order manufacturing scenarios. Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. Projects is specific to Infor LN and Groups to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Infor LN and Namely

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 LN Namely Interval-based propagation

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Infor LN: Subject to the ION API gateway's tenant rate limits in cloud deployments.
  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.
