Can you integrate Microsoft Dynamics NAV with Workday?

Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Workday: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Microsoft Dynamics NAV's Sales Orders & Invoices and Purchase Orders), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.

How do teams use the Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Workday integration?

Common patterns for Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Workday: Subsidiary to headquarters; Where Workday handles billing: invoices land in Microsoft Dynamics NAV; Migration without a hard cutover. Where Workday serves a business unit and Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the group system, transactions and customer records roll up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

What should I know about the two APIs?

Microsoft Dynamics NAV: SOAP and OData web services published from NAV pages and codeunits; direct SQL Server access on-premises. Authentication: Windows authentication or NavUserPassword credentials. Workday: SOAP Workday Web Services (WWS), a REST API, and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS) endpoints for custom reports. Authentication: OAuth 2.0 for the REST API; integration system users with WS-Security or certificate-based auth for SOAP. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.

What makes Workday's data model different?

Workday: Any custom report can be exposed as a Reports-as-a-Service endpoint returning JSON or XML, and tenants often use RaaS as the primary extraction surface. Microsoft Dynamics NAV: On SQL Server, each company's data is segregated with company-name prefixes on table names, which multi-company syncs must handle. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Workday without custom code.

Is the Microsoft Dynamics NAV–Workday integration secure?

Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Workday records are not retained after a sync operation.

How much does a Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Workday integration cost?

Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Workday connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Microsoft Dynamics NAV–Workday integration in-house.

Why teams connect Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Workday

Keep Workday and Microsoft Dynamics NAV agreeing on customers, invoices, and balances, whether they split the finance workload or one is replacing the other.

A dedicated finance tool and an ERP end up side by side for practical reasons: a subsidiary runs lighter software than headquarters, billing runs in a specialist system while the enterprise system holds the wider view, or the company is mid-migration and both are live. Whatever the split, the two systems describe overlapping customers and transactions, and that overlap drifts without a live connection.

Stacksync syncs Workers, Organizations, Positions, Compensation in Workday with Sales Orders & Invoices, Purchase Orders, G/L Entries, Item Ledger Entries in Microsoft Dynamics NAV in real time and in both directions. You decide which system wins on which field, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

01 Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
02 Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
03 Sync customers, items, and orders between NAV and a CRM in both directions.
04 Push ecommerce orders into NAV sales orders through published page services.

Common sync patterns

Subsidiary to headquarters

Where Workday serves a business unit and Microsoft Dynamics NAV is the group system, transactions and customer records roll up continuously, so consolidation starts from live data.

Where Workday handles billing: invoices land in Microsoft Dynamics NAV

Invoices and payment activity from the billing side post through to the enterprise system automatically.

Migration without a hard cutover

When one system is replacing the other, run both in parallel with records matching until the switch is complete.

What you can sync between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Workday

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.

How changes propagate between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Workday

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

Workday Microsoft Dynamics NAV Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Workday for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment.

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