Why teams connect Infor LN and Tableau
Put Infor LN's records into Tableau as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Tableau computes back where Infor LN can use them.
Tableau is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Infor LN, so Infor LN always reflects the current state of Tableau — 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 LN carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, those numbers belong in Tableau, next to the product, behavioral, and web data the team already measures.
Common use cases
- 01 Track Extract Refresh Tasks and DatasourceRefreshFailed webhook events to raise alerts in a database or ticketing system when refreshes fail.
- 02 Read site Users and their site roles for periodic access reviews and to reconcile Tableau accounts against an HR or IdP source of record.
- 03 Keep inventory positions aligned between LN and distribution or aftermarket service systems.
- 04 Sync item masters, BOMs, and production orders between LN and MES or PLM systems on the shop floor.
Common sync patterns
Where Infor LN runs operations: inventory and fulfillment metrics
Operational records from Infor LN become measurable in Tableau, joinable with the rest of what the company tracks for supply and fulfillment reporting.
Where Infor LN is the HR system of record: workforce and cost analysis
Worker and organization data from Infor LN syncs into Tableau for headcount, cost, and utilization reporting alongside other company data.
Write-back where Infor LN exposes writable fields: segments and scores return
Segments, scores, or metrics computed in Tableau sync onto the matching records in Infor LN, so operations act on what the analysis found.
What you can sync between Infor LN and Tableau
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 | Tableau objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Projects Project structures used in engineer-to-order manufacturing scenarios. | Projects Folders that organize content and set permissions; listed via REST to mirror the site's content hierarchy into a catalog. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in the writable direction. | |
| Sales orders Demand documents synced in from EDI and commerce channels. | Workbooks Workbook content and metadata read via the REST and Metadata APIs; create, update, and delete events fire webhooks for change detection. | Sales orders is specific to Infor LN and Workbooks to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Purchase orders Supply documents shared with supplier and procurement systems. | Views Worksheets and dashboards inside workbooks; their data and crosstab export as CSV via the REST query-view-data endpoint. | Purchase orders is specific to Infor LN and Views to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Production orders Shop-floor work orders synced with MES for execution visibility. | Users Site users with site roles and group membership; read via REST for access reviews and to reconcile identities against an HR or IdP source. | Production orders is specific to Infor LN and Users to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Warehouse / inventory Stock positions exposed so external channels reflect real availability. | Databases and Tables External assets indexed by Tableau Catalog; queried via the Metadata API GraphQL endpoint for lineage and impact analysis. | Warehouse / inventory is specific to Infor LN and Databases and Tables to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Service orders Aftermarket service documents synced with field service tools. | Extract Refresh Tasks Scheduled extract refreshes; status and history read via REST, with DatasourceRefreshSucceeded and Failed events delivered by webhooks. | Service orders is specific to Infor LN and Extract Refresh Tasks to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Infor LN and Tableau
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 Tableau 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.
DeliveryTableau does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Tableau's output flows back as field updates on the originating Infor LN records.
Tableau Infor LN Sub-second propagation
DetectionTableau notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire on workbook and data source create/update/delete and extract refresh 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.
- Tableau: Tableau Cloud enforces per-site REST rate limits and returns HTTP 429; a PAT allows only one concurrent session and expires after 15 consecutive days of non-use.

FAQ
Infor LN and Tableau integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time integration between Infor LN and Tableau — Tableau is a read-only source, so data flows from it into the other system: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync, map fields visually, and changes propagate in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Tableau: The Metadata API (Catalog) requires Tableau Cloud, or Tableau Server with the Data Management license and Catalog enabled; without it, external assets like databases and tables are not indexed. Infor LN: LN's multi-company and multi-site structure partitions core data, so syncs must be scoped to the right company and site context. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Infor LN and Tableau without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Infor LN and Tableau records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Infor LN and Tableau connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Infor LN–Tableau integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Infor LN and Tableau. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Infor LN: Event-style BOD publications through Infor ION where configured; otherwise polling. On Tableau: Webhooks fire on workbook and data source create/update/delete and extract refresh events; otherwise content and metadata are polled via REST list endpoints (updatedAt) and the Metadata API. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
