Why teams connect Infor WMS and Tableau

Put Infor WMS's records into Tableau as live data for reporting and dashboards, without nightly exports, and send the segments and metrics Tableau computes back where Infor WMS can use them.

Tableau is a read-only source: Stacksync reads its data in real time and delivers it into Infor WMS, so Infor WMS always reflects the current state of Tableau — without exports, scripts, or schedulers.

ERP data is some of the most requested data for analysis and some of the hardest to pull: the record types are many, the APIs are strict, and export jobs break on every upgrade. Whether Infor WMS carries financials, operations, workforce data, or all three, those numbers belong in Tableau, next to the product, behavioral, and web data the team already measures.

Common use cases

  • 01 Mirror the Projects and Workbooks content hierarchy into an internal catalog so teams discover dashboards from a central index.
  • 02 Track Extract Refresh Tasks and DatasourceRefreshFailed webhook events to raise alerts in a database or ticketing system when refreshes fail.
  • 03 Consolidate task and labor data into a BI warehouse for productivity reporting
  • 04 Sync inventory positions from Infor WMS to an OMS or e-commerce platform so promised stock reflects the warehouse

Common sync patterns

Where Infor WMS runs order-to-cash: customer and account analytics

Orders, invoices, and account records from Infor WMS join the behavioral and usage data Tableau already tracks, so customer analysis spans activity and dollars in one view.

Where Infor WMS runs operations: inventory and fulfillment metrics

Operational records from Infor WMS become measurable in Tableau, joinable with the rest of what the company tracks for supply and fulfillment reporting.

Where Infor WMS is the HR system of record: workforce and cost analysis

Worker and organization data from Infor WMS syncs into Tableau for headcount, cost, and utilization reporting alongside other company data.

What you can sync between Infor WMS and Tableau

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 WMS objects Tableau objects How this pairing syncs
Inventory On-hand quantities by location feed available-to-promise in order-taking systems. Workbooks Workbook content and metadata read via the REST and Metadata APIs; create, update, and delete events fire webhooks for change detection. Inventory is specific to Infor WMS and Workbooks to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Receipts / ASNs Advance shipment notices and receipt confirmations sync with procurement systems. Views Worksheets and dashboards inside workbooks; their data and crosstab export as CSV via the REST query-view-data endpoint. Receipts / ASNs is specific to Infor WMS and Views to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Shipment Orders Outbound orders arrive from the ERP or OMS for allocation and picking. Projects Folders that organize content and set permissions; listed via REST to mirror the site's content hierarchy into a catalog. Shipment Orders is specific to Infor WMS and Projects to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Waves Wave assignments group orders for fulfillment and can be reported outward. Users Site users with site roles and group membership; read via REST for access reviews and to reconcile identities against an HR or IdP source. Waves is specific to Infor WMS and Users to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tasks Warehouse task data supports labor and productivity reporting in BI tools. Databases and Tables External assets indexed by Tableau Catalog; queried via the Metadata API GraphQL endpoint for lineage and impact analysis. Tasks is specific to Infor WMS and Databases and Tables to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Locations Bin and zone definitions scope inventory records during mapping. Extract Refresh Tasks Scheduled extract refreshes; status and history read via REST, with DatasourceRefreshSucceeded and Failed events delivered by webhooks. Locations is specific to Infor WMS and Extract Refresh Tasks to Tableau — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Infor WMS and Tableau

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 WMS Tableau Sub-second propagation

DetectionInfor WMS notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. ION event publishing or scheduled polling of API endpoints.

DeliveryTableau does not accept inbound record writes, so this direction carries requests rather than records: Tableau's output flows back as field updates on the originating Infor WMS records.

Tableau Infor WMS Sub-second propagation

DetectionTableau notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks fire on workbook and data source create/update/delete and extract refresh events.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Infor WMS: Subject to Infor ION API gateway throttling policies.
  • Tableau: Tableau Cloud enforces per-site REST rate limits and returns HTTP 429; a PAT allows only one concurrent session and expires after 15 consecutive days of non-use.
