Why teams connect Infor M3 and Okta

Keep the employee, group, and account records that Infor M3 and Okta share aligned in real time, so a person added, moved, or offboarded in one system shows up correctly in the other within seconds.

An ERP and an identity system describe the same workforce from two angles. Infor M3 holds the authoritative record of who works at the company, and often their department, title, manager, and cost center. Okta controls the accounts, groups, and access those same people use every day. When the two aren't connected, every hire, transfer, and departure has to be keyed twice, and the window between someone leaving in Infor M3 and their account still being active in Okta is a real security exposure.

Stacksync syncs Purchase Orders, Manufacturing Orders, Inventory Balances, Invoices in Infor M3 with Policies, System Log, Devices, Users in Okta in real time, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly jobs. A new hire, a department change, or a termination propagates within seconds, and where you want changes to flow both ways — the ERP's org data into the directory, account status back into the ERP — the same mapping handles it.

That matters most at offboarding and audit time. When the directory reflects the ERP's current headcount and org structure, disabling access no longer depends on someone remembering to update a second system, and access reviews start from a roster both sides already agree on.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror M3 customers and invoices into a CRM or warehouse so sales and finance share one AR view
  • 02 Feed manufacturing order status to a customer portal for order tracking in fashion, food, or equipment supply chains
  • 03 Drive Group Rules and policy assignments from HR attributes so access changes the moment a title, department, or location changes.
  • 04 Sync Groups and their memberships two-way between Okta and a database or IdP so downstream app access stays aligned with source-of-truth org data.

Common sync patterns

Keep profile attributes current

A name, email, title, manager, or department corrected in either system updates the other, so directory entries and employee records don't drift apart.

Align group and department membership

When someone changes team or department, their group or organizational-unit membership updates to match, keeping access tied to their current role.

One roster on a shared key

People are matched across both systems on an identifier you choose, such as work email or employee ID, so there is a single accurate list of who is active.

What you can sync between Infor M3 and Okta

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 Okta objects How this pairing syncs
Customers Customer master records sync with CRM account records to keep one shared customer file. System Log Immutable audit event stream of logins, admin changes, and lifecycle events; read-only, polled by timestamp and used as the change feed and SIEM source. Customers is specific to Infor M3 and System Log to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Supplier records align procurement tools with the vendors M3 purchases from. Devices Registered and managed device records tied to users; read to correlate access with device posture and to feed inventory or conditional-access reporting. Suppliers is specific to Infor M3 and Devices to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customer Orders Orders created in commerce or CRM systems land in M3 for fulfillment and invoicing. Users Universal Directory user records with profile attributes, credentials, and lifecycle status (staged, active, suspended, deprovisioned); full CRUD, so users are created, updated, activated, and deactivated to match an HR or identity source. Customer Orders is specific to Infor M3 and Users to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase Orders PO headers and lines sync outward so buyers and receiving teams see the same demand. Groups Okta groups (OKTA_GROUP, APP_GROUP, BUILT_IN) and their memberships; OKTA_GROUP records and membership are written to drive app and resource access. Purchase Orders is specific to Infor M3 and Groups to Okta — 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. Applications App integrations (SAML, OIDC, SWA) with per-user and per-group assignments; read and updated to manage which identities can reach each downstream app. Manufacturing Orders is specific to Infor M3 and Applications to Okta — 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. Group Rules Dynamic rules that add users to groups from profile attributes; read and written to automate access based on department, title, or location. Inventory Balances is specific to Infor M3 and Group Rules to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Infor M3 and Okta

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

Okta Infor M3 Sub-second propagation

DetectionOkta notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time.

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.
  • Okta: Rate limits are enforced per org, per endpoint group, per minute and vary by Okta edition; responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset headers and exceeding one returns HTTP 429. The System Log is more tightly limited (about 120 requests/minute) and a separate concurrent-request cap (default 75 in-flight transactions) also applies.
