Why teams connect Microsoft Dynamics GP and Paylocity

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Microsoft Dynamics GP 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. Microsoft Dynamics GP 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 Company Databases, Customers, Vendors, Sales Documents (SOP) in Microsoft Dynamics GP with Deductions (Pay Setup), Earnings (Pay Setup), Local and State Taxes, Direct Deposit 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 Microsoft Dynamics GP 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 web or CRM orders into Sales Order Processing through eConnect instead of manual entry.
  • 02 Keep item and inventory data aligned with an ecommerce storefront.
  • 03 Read Pay Statements and Direct Deposit allocations into a Postgres or warehouse database for labor-cost, GL, and headcount reporting in SQL.
  • 04 React to the Employee Change webhook to pull the updated Employee record and propagate title, location, or manager changes to downstream apps within minutes.

Common sync patterns

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 Microsoft Dynamics GP is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

New hires ready to transact in Microsoft Dynamics GP

A new person set up in Paylocity becomes an employee record in Microsoft Dynamics GP 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 Microsoft Dynamics GP roll up to the same structure Paylocity maintains.

What you can sync between Microsoft Dynamics GP 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.

Microsoft Dynamics GP objects Paylocity objects How this pairing syncs

Inventory Items (IV) Item master and quantity data mirrored to ecommerce and planning systems. 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. Inventory Items (IV) is specific to Microsoft Dynamics GP and Local and State Taxes to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

Company Databases Per-company SQL databases that define the scope of any sync. Company Codes Read-only reference codes and descriptions (cost centers, departments, positions) used to validate field mappings on employee writes. Company Databases is specific to Microsoft Dynamics GP and Company Codes to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Receivables master records (RM tables) synced with CRMs and billing tools. Custom Fields Read-only company-specific custom fields returned by category, used to enrich the employee record downstream. Customers is specific to Microsoft Dynamics GP and Custom Fields to Paylocity — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Microsoft Dynamics GP 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.

Microsoft Dynamics GP Paylocity Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Microsoft Dynamics GP are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SQL Server change tracking or log-based CDC on the company database, or polling on row timestamps.

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

Paylocity Microsoft Dynamics GP 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 applied to Microsoft Dynamics GP as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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).

Paylocity

Integration surface
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
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.
