Why teams connect Manhattan Associates WMS and Okta

Keep the employee, group, and account records that Manhattan Associates WMS 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. Manhattan Associates WMS 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 Manhattan Associates WMS and their account still being active in Okta is a real security exposure.

Stacksync syncs Shipments & LPNs, Receipts, Locations & Zones, Returns in Manhattan Associates WMS with Group Rules, Factors (Authenticators), Policies, System Log 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 Stream ship confirmations and tracking to the ERP and CRM so customer service answers from live data.
  • 02 Mirror inventory positions across the distribution network into a central warehouse for network-level visibility.
  • 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

Create accounts from new records

A person added in one system gets a matching account or record in the other automatically, so a new hire can be granted access without anyone re-keying their details.

Disable access at offboarding

When a person is marked terminated or inactive in one system, the matching account is disabled in the other within seconds, closing the gap that leaves ex-employees with live access.

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.

What you can sync between Manhattan Associates WMS 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.

Manhattan Associates WMS objects Okta objects How this pairing syncs
Shipments & LPNs Ship confirmations, cartons, and tracking pushed back to order sources. 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. Shipments & LPNs is specific to Manhattan Associates WMS and Users to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Receipts Receiving transactions reconciled against POs in the ERP. 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. Receipts is specific to Manhattan Associates WMS and Groups to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Locations & Zones Facility topology referenced when interpreting inventory positions. 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. Locations & Zones is specific to Manhattan Associates WMS and Applications to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Returns Return receipts synced so upstream systems reflect disposition and restock. Group Rules Dynamic rules that add users to groups from profile attributes; read and written to automate access based on department, title, or location. Returns is specific to Manhattan Associates WMS and Group Rules to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Appointments Dock scheduling data coordinated with carriers and yard systems. Factors (Authenticators) MFA enrollments per user (Okta Verify, WebAuthn, SMS, email); read for security-posture reporting and reset when a device is lost or rotated. Appointments is specific to Manhattan Associates WMS and Factors (Authenticators) to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Distribution Orders Outbound order releases sent from the ERP or OMS into the WMS for waving and fulfillment. Policies Sign-on, password, and authenticator-enrollment policies with their rules; read to audit access controls or updated to manage them centrally. Distribution Orders is specific to Manhattan Associates WMS and Policies to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Manhattan Associates WMS 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.

Manhattan Associates WMS Okta Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Manhattan Associates WMS for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling on modified timestamps.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
