Why teams connect Infor M3 and Paylocity
Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Infor M3 and Paylocity share in real time, so the people Paylocity manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.
Paylocity 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 Price Lists, Items, Customers, Suppliers in Infor M3 with Employees, Onboarding, Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup) in Paylocity 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 React to the Employee Change webhook to pull the updated Employee record and propagate title, location, or manager changes to downstream apps within minutes.
- 04 Two-way sync of Employees between Paylocity and an HRIS or identity provider so new hires, terminations, and demographic edits flow both directions.
Common sync patterns
Reporting lines drive approvals
Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Paylocity keep expense and purchase approval chains in Infor M3 pointed at the right people.
Where Paylocity runs payroll: labor cost in the books
Pay and compensation data from Paylocity posts into Infor M3 as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.
Where Paylocity is the worker system of record: one employee master
When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Paylocity, 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 Paylocity
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 | Paylocity objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inventory Balances On-hand quantities by warehouse drive available-to-promise in downstream channels. | Earnings (Pay Setup) Recurring earning codes at the employee level; two-way via Upsert Earning and Delete, with Get All Earnings and Get by earning code for reads. | Inventory Balances is specific to Infor M3 and Earnings (Pay Setup) to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Invoices Billing documents flow to finance and CRM tools for AR visibility. | Local and State Taxes Two-way via Create/Update/Delete Local Tax and Upsert Primary / Non-Primary State Tax; Get by tax code and Get All for reads. | Invoices is specific to Infor M3 and Local and State Taxes to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Warehouses Warehouse and facility records scope inventory and order data during mapping. | Direct Deposit Read-only: Get All Direct Deposit and Get Employee Bank Accounts return main and additional allocations. Bank details cannot be written through the API. | Warehouses is specific to Infor M3 and Direct Deposit to Paylocity — 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. | Pay Statements Read-only detailed payroll statement data — earnings, deductions, taxes, and direct deposit allocations by year, check date, or date range. Pulled for reporting, never written. | Price Lists is specific to Infor M3 and Pay Statements to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Items Item master records provide the SKU, unit, and attribute data other systems price and sell against. | Company Codes Read-only reference codes and descriptions (cost centers, departments, positions) used to validate field mappings on employee writes. | Items is specific to Infor M3 and Company Codes to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Customers Customer master records sync with CRM account records to keep one shared customer file. | Custom Fields Read-only company-specific custom fields returned by category, used to enrich the employee record downstream. | Customers is specific to Infor M3 and Custom Fields to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Infor M3 and Paylocity
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 Paylocity 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 Paylocity through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Paylocity Infor M3 Sub-second propagation
DetectionPaylocity notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL.
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.
- Paylocity: 25 requests per second (1,500 per minute); exceeding it returns HTTP 429. Every path is scoped to a Paylocity-assigned companyId (a company code, not a UUID).

- Change detection
- Webhooks — Paylocity POSTs Employee New Hire, Employee Change, Termination, Payroll Processed, and Time Off Approval events to a callback URL; payloads carry only companyId and employeeId, so the receiver calls the relevant API to fetch changed values. Scheduled polling is used for objects without webhooks.

FAQ
Infor M3 and Paylocity integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Infor M3 and Paylocity: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Infor M3's Inventory Balances and Invoices), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
On the Infor M3 side: Price Lists, Items, Customers, Suppliers, plus custom fields where Infor M3 exposes them. On the Paylocity side: Employees, Onboarding, Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup). Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Infor M3 and Paylocity: Reporting lines drive approvals; Where Paylocity runs payroll: labor cost in the books; Where Paylocity is the worker system of record: one employee master. Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Paylocity keep expense and purchase approval chains in Infor M3 pointed at the right people.

Infor M3: REST API (M3 API programs exposed through the Infor ION API gateway). Authentication: OAuth 2.0 via Infor OS / ION API authorization. Paylocity: REST API (v1 and v2), JSON payloads. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 client credentials via the Paylocity Identity Provider (/IdentityServer/connect/token) with the WebLinkAPI scope; access tokens expire after one hour and API access must be enabled by Paylocity for the company. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Infor M3: M3 business logic is exposed through M3 API programs (MI programs), which Infor publishes as REST endpoints through the ION API gateway rather than as a single flat resource model. Paylocity: The rate limit is 25 calls per second (1,500 per minute); full-employee reads must be paged and throttled to avoid HTTP 429 errors. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Infor M3 and Paylocity without custom code.
