Why teams connect Infor M3 and Namely

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Infor M3 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 M3 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 Customers, Suppliers, Customer Orders, Purchase Orders in Infor M3 with Profiles, Job Titles, Job Tiers, Groups 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 M3 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 Push orders captured in a CRM into M3 as customer orders without manual re-entry
  • 02 Mirror M3 customers and invoices into a CRM or warehouse so sales and finance share one AR view
  • 03 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.
  • 04 Map Job Titles and Job Tiers into a warehouse dimension table so leveling and seniority stay consistent across HR, finance, and BI reporting.

Common sync patterns

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Namely keep expense and purchase approval chains in Infor M3 pointed at the right people.

Where Namely runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Namely posts into Infor M3 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 M3 is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

What you can sync between Infor M3 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 M3 objects Namely objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase Orders PO headers and lines sync outward so buyers and receiving teams see the same demand. Events Home-feed items such as announcements, birthdays, anniversaries, and new arrivals; typically read-only into comms tools. Purchase Orders is specific to Infor M3 and Events to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Manufacturing Orders Production order status feeds portals and CRMs so promised dates reflect the shop floor. Profiles The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling. Manufacturing Orders is specific to Infor M3 and Profiles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory Balances On-hand quantities by warehouse drive available-to-promise in downstream channels. Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. Inventory Balances is specific to Infor M3 and Job Titles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoices Billing documents flow to finance and CRM tools for AR visibility. Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. Invoices is specific to Infor M3 and Job Tiers to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Warehouses Warehouse and facility records scope inventory and order data during mapping. Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. Warehouses is specific to Infor M3 and Groups to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Price Lists Pricing data keeps quoting tools consistent with the prices M3 will actually invoice. Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. Price Lists is specific to Infor M3 and Teams to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Infor M3 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 M3 Namely Sub-second propagation

DetectionInfor M3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event publishing through Infor ION (Business Object Documents), configured in ION, or scheduled polling of API endpoints.

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

Namely Infor M3 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Infor M3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Infor M3: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.
  • 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.
