Why teams connect Infor M3 and SQL Server

Give your engineers Infor M3's data in SQL Server: read it with normal queries, write back through the sync, and skip the ERP API entirely.

ERP data sits behind interfaces built for the ERP's own modules, not for your internal systems. Teams that need those records, for reporting services, internal tools, or automations, end up writing integration code against a strict API and maintaining it through every upgrade.

Stacksync mirrors Suppliers, Customer Orders, Purchase Orders, Manufacturing Orders from Infor M3 into SQL Server and keeps both sides consistent in real time. Whatever Infor M3 is the system of record for, whether financials, operations, people, or procurement, those records become rows your code can query, and changes written in SQL Server sync back into Infor M3 with its validations respected.

Common use cases

  • Feed a cloud warehouse from SQL Server continuously using native CDC instead of SSIS batch jobs
  • Consolidate branch or plant databases into a single operational SQL Server hub
  • Sync M3 item master and inventory balances to commerce or CPQ systems so quotes price against live stock
  • Push orders captured in a CRM into M3 as customer orders without manual re-entry

Internal tools and automations without API code

Scripts and services read and write the synced tables; Stacksync handles the Infor M3 interface, limits, and retries.

React to ERP changes

Updates in Infor M3 arrive as row changes in SQL Server, so jobs and triggers can respond as the business record changes.

Where Infor M3 is the HR system of record: people data for internal systems

Worker and org records stay current in SQL Server for provisioning, access, and reporting systems that read from the database.

What you can sync between Infor M3 and SQL Server

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 SQL Server objects
Items Item master records provide the SKU, unit, and attribute data other systems price and sell against. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources.
Customers Customer master records sync with CRM account records to keep one shared customer file. Columns Field-level mapping targets with T-SQL types.
Suppliers Supplier records align procurement tools with the vendors M3 purchases from. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling.
Customer Orders Orders created in commerce or CRM systems land in M3 for fulfillment and invoicing. CDC Change Tables System-populated tables holding captured inserts, updates, and deletes for consumers.
Purchase Orders PO headers and lines sync outward so buyers and receiving teams see the same demand. Stored Procedures T-SQL logic that can validate or post-process synced rows.
Manufacturing Orders Production order status feeds portals and CRMs so promised dates reflect the shop floor. Databases Instance-level databases that scope a sync's reads and writes.
