Why teams connect Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Namely

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Namely share in real time, so the people Namely manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Namely 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 NAV 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 Companies, Customers, Vendors, Items in Microsoft Dynamics NAV with Teams, Reports, Profile Fields, Events in Namely 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 NAV 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 Replicate G/L and ledger entries into a warehouse for consolidated finance reporting.
  • 02 Keep inventory availability current in storefronts and customer portals.
  • 03 Map Job Titles and Job Tiers into a warehouse dimension table so leveling and seniority stay consistent across HR, finance, and BI reporting.
  • 04 Push Groups and Teams (departments, locations, team categories) into downstream apps to keep org structure and reporting lines aligned.

Common sync patterns

Where Namely is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Namely, the matching employee record in Microsoft Dynamics NAV is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

New hires ready to transact in Microsoft Dynamics NAV

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

What you can sync between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Namely

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 NAV objects Namely objects How this pairing syncs
Item Ledger Entries Inventory movement history read for stock and costing analytics. Profiles The core employee record (personal, job, contact, and compensation fields); synced two-way via GET/POST/PUT with updated_at driving incremental polling. Item Ledger Entries is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Profiles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Dimensions Analytical codes carried on documents and entries for reporting splits. Job Titles Job title definitions; read and written so titles stay aligned with an HRIS, directory, or reporting dimension. Dimensions is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Job Titles to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Companies Per-company data partitions that scope every sync. Job Tiers Leveling hierarchy grouping zero-to-many Job Titles; read to map seniority into warehouse dimension tables. Companies is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Job Tiers to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Customer cards synced with CRMs so sales sees ERP balances and terms. Groups Departments and locations that organize Profiles; synced to keep org structure aligned with a warehouse or IdP. Customers is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Groups to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendors Vendor cards aligned with procurement and AP tools. Teams Teams and team categories a Profile belongs to; read and written for org-chart and provisioning workflows. Vendors is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Teams to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Items Item cards and availability mirrored to ecommerce and planning systems. Reports Saved Namely reports returned as JSON snapshots that update instantly; read-only feeds for headcount and roster analytics. Items is specific to Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Reports to Namely — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Namely

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 NAV Namely Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Microsoft Dynamics NAV are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Polling on modified/timestamp fields, or SQL Server change tracking/CDC on on-premises databases.

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

Namely Microsoft Dynamics NAV Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Namely for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No webhooks.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Microsoft Dynamics NAV as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Namely: Namely's public docs do not publish a fixed request quota; the REST API returns standard HTTP status codes, so integrations should throttle and back off on 429/5xx responses.
