Why teams connect Infor M3 and Success Factors

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Infor M3 and Success Factors share in real time, so the people Success Factors manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Success Factors 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 Position, PerEmail and PerPhone, User, PerPerson in Success Factors 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 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 Two-way sync of User and EmpJob (position, department, manager, cost center) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current org data in SQL while HR edits in SuccessFactors.
  • 04 Push new hires (PerPerson, EmpEmployment, EmpJob) into an ERP or payroll system so account, cost-center, and payroll setup fire on hire instead of manual Integration Center exports.

Common sync patterns

New hires ready to transact in Infor M3

A new person set up in Success Factors becomes an employee record in Infor M3 in time to submit expenses, enter time, or approve a purchase, without waiting on manual setup.

One org structure

Departments, cost centers, and locations that both systems reference stay in agreement, so labor cost, approvals, and reporting in Infor M3 roll up to the same structure Success Factors maintains.

Reporting lines drive approvals

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

What you can sync between Infor M3 and Success Factors

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 Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
Manufacturing Orders Production order status feeds portals and CRMs so promised dates reflect the shop floor. EmpCompensation Effective-dated pay and compensation; usually read into a warehouse for reporting, writable for comp updates as new dated slices. Manufacturing Orders is specific to Infor M3 and EmpCompensation to Success Factors — 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. Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) Org-structure master data (department, location, cost center, division); mastered elsewhere and written in, or read out to build org charts. Inventory Balances is specific to Infor M3 and Foundation Objects (FODepartment, FOLocation, FOCostCenter) to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoices Billing documents flow to finance and CRM tools for AR visibility. Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. Invoices is specific to Infor M3 and Position to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Warehouses Warehouse and facility records scope inventory and order data during mapping. PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Warehouses is specific to Infor M3 and PerEmail and PerPhone to Success Factors — 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. User Core identity/User entity behind role-based permissions; a model distinct from Employee Central, synced two-way with a directory or IdP and downstream apps. Price Lists is specific to Infor M3 and User to Success Factors — 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. PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. Items is specific to Infor M3 and PerPerson to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Infor M3 and Success Factors

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

Success Factors Infor M3 Sub-second propagation

DetectionSuccess Factors notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling).

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.
  • Success Factors: OData calls are throttled at the tenant level (Access Limits for OData V2); large reads must be paginated (default page size 1000) via $top/$skip or paging cursors.
