Why teams connect Infor LN and Navan

Keep Navan and Infor LN agreeing on customers, invoices, and balances, whether they split the finance workload or one is replacing the other.

A dedicated finance tool and an ERP end up side by side for practical reasons: a subsidiary runs lighter software than headquarters, billing runs in a specialist system while the enterprise system holds the wider view, or the company is mid-migration and both are live. Whatever the split, the two systems describe overlapping customers and transactions, and that overlap drifts without a live connection.

Stacksync syncs Bookings, Custom Fields, Receipts, Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments in Navan with Sales orders, Purchase orders, Production orders, Warehouse / inventory in Infor LN in real time and in both directions. You decide which system wins on which field, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push coded expense transactions into an accounting system, then set their ERP sync status in Navan so the same records are not exported twice.
  • 02 Pull Bookings by date range into a database to reconcile travel reservations against Card Transactions and monitor travel-policy spend.
  • 03 Run a two-way sync of business partners between LN and a CRM so sales and manufacturing share account data.
  • 04 Keep inventory positions aligned between LN and distribution or aftermarket service systems.

Common sync patterns

Migration without a hard cutover

When one system is replacing the other, run both in parallel with records matching until the switch is complete.

One customer and vendor master

Where both systems keep records of the same organizations, corrections made in either propagate to the other.

Subsidiary to headquarters

Where Navan serves a business unit and Infor LN is the group system, transactions and customer records roll up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

What you can sync between Infor LN and Navan

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 Navan objects How this pairing syncs
Production orders Shop-floor work orders synced with MES for execution visibility. Connect Transactions External and personal card feed matched into Navan; retrieved read-only and coded with custom-field values through the transaction update endpoint. Production orders is specific to Infor LN and Connect Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Warehouse / inventory Stock positions exposed so external channels reflect real availability. Manual Transactions Out-of-pocket reimbursements and payroll submissions; synced for approval and reimbursement, then GL-coded back into Navan. Warehouse / inventory is specific to Infor LN and Manual Transactions to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects Project structures used in engineer-to-order manufacturing scenarios. Bookings Flight, hotel, rail, and car reservations from the Booking API; pulled read-only by createdFrom/createdTo date range for trip and travel-spend reporting. Projects is specific to Infor LN and Bookings to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Service orders Aftermarket service documents synced with field service tools. Custom Fields Company metadata such as cost centers and project codes; discovered via GET and their option lists created or updated via async POST. Service orders is specific to Infor LN and Custom Fields to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Manufacturing item masters synced to PLM, MES, and commerce systems. Receipts Receipt images tied to each transaction; fetched read-only through presigned URLs for archival in a warehouse or document store. Items is specific to Infor LN and Receipts to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bills of material Product structures shared with engineering and planning tools. Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments Money-movement records including repayments, FX and platform fees, and credit or debit memos; read-only for reconciliation ledgers. Bills of material is specific to Infor LN and Repayments, Fees, and Adjustments to Navan — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Infor LN and Navan

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 Navan 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 Navan through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Navan Infor LN Sub-second propagation

DetectionNavan notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Navan's Expense API supports webhooks for transaction and expense events.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Infor LN 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.
  • Navan: Requests are throttled with HTTP 429 and Navan recommends retrying with exponential backoff; the Expense/Public API must first be enabled per account by Navan.
