Why teams connect Infor LN and Smartsheet

Bridge the tools people work in and the system the business runs on: real-time, two-way sync between Smartsheet and Infor LN.

The ERP holds the records the business is run on, and it is rarely where day-to-day work happens. Smartsheet is closer to the work, and the two often need the same facts about the same people, organizations, and transactions. Bridging them by hand, or by nightly file transfer, leaves each side out of date for hours at a time.

Stacksync syncs Users and Groups, Sheets, Rows, Columns in Smartsheet with Business partners, Sales orders, Purchase orders, Production orders in Infor LN bi-directionally and in real time, with field-level mapping and rules for which system wins on conflict. Changes made where the work happens reach the system of record within seconds, and the reverse.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror Users and Groups from an HR system or directory so sheet sharing and workspace access stay aligned with headcount changes.
  • 02 Trigger downstream actions in an operational database when a Row's status Cell changes, using sheet webhooks for near-real-time updates.
  • 03 Flow EDI and ecommerce sales orders into LN and return order status and shipment confirmations.
  • 04 Replicate LN data into a warehouse for production, OTIF, and supply chain reporting.

Common sync patterns

Where Infor LN is the HR or people system of record

Worker and organization data from Infor LN stays current in Smartsheet, so the tools people use daily reflect the org as it actually is.

Master data corrections travel

A customer, supplier, or contact detail corrected in either system updates the other, ending duplicate maintenance.

Where Smartsheet faces customers and Infor LN carries account records

Order, invoice, or account status from Infor LN appears alongside the customer in Smartsheet, so front-line teams answer from live data.

What you can sync between Infor LN and Smartsheet

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 Smartsheet objects How this pairing syncs
Items Manufacturing item masters synced to PLM, MES, and commerce systems. Discussions and Comments Threaded comments on rows and sheets; read out to sync collaboration history or activity into another system. Items is specific to Infor LN and Discussions and Comments to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Bills of material Product structures shared with engineering and planning tools. Users and Groups Account membership and sharing; synced to keep an HR or identity source aligned with sheet and workspace access. Bills of material is specific to Infor LN and Users and Groups to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Business partners LN's unified customer/supplier records matched against CRM accounts. Sheets The core container; each sheet has typed columns, rows, and a modifiedAt stamp. Stacksync treats a sheet as a table and syncs its rows two-way. Business partners is specific to Infor LN and Sheets to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales orders Demand documents synced in from EDI and commerce channels. Rows Records inside a sheet, each with createdAt/modifiedAt and cells keyed by columnId; the primary unit synced to and from external tables. Sales orders is specific to Infor LN and Rows to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase orders Supply documents shared with supplier and procurement systems. Columns Define sheet schema and cell type (TEXT_NUMBER, DATE, CONTACT_LIST, PICKLIST, CHECKBOX); read via the API so field mappings can be generated. Purchase orders is specific to Infor LN and Columns to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Production orders Shop-floor work orders synced with MES for execution visibility. Cells Row-by-column values; writes must match the column type and no single cell can exceed 4,000 characters. Production orders is specific to Infor LN and Cells to Smartsheet — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Infor LN and Smartsheet

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

Smartsheet Infor LN Sub-second propagation

DetectionSmartsheet notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Sheet-scoped webhooks subscribed to *.* events notify on row and cell changes.

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.
  • Smartsheet: 300 requests per minute per access token; heavy calls like posting attachments cost 10x (30/min). A 429 returns errorCode 4003, back off ~60s.
