Why teams connect Odoo and Success Factors

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Odoo and Success Factors share in real time, so the people Success Factors manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Success Factors 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. Odoo 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 Invoices (account.move), Products (product.template / product.product), CRM Leads (crm.lead), Purchase Orders (purchase.order) in Odoo with PerEmail and PerPhone, User, PerPerson, EmpEmployment in Success Factors 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 Odoo 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 Sync employee records from an HR system of record into Odoo for expense and timesheet workflows.
  • 02 Sync Odoo contacts and CRM leads with an external CRM when sales runs outside Odoo but invoicing stays in it.
  • 03 Write updated PerEmail, PerPhone, and User attributes back into SuccessFactors from an identity or directory system so contact data stays current.
  • 04 Two-way sync of User and EmpJob (position, department, manager, cost center) into Postgres so provisioning, internal apps, and analytics read current org data in SQL while HR edits in SuccessFactors.

Common sync patterns

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Success Factors keep expense and purchase approval chains in Odoo pointed at the right people.

Where Success Factors runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Success Factors posts into Odoo as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.

Where Success Factors is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Success Factors, the matching employee record in Odoo is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

What you can sync between Odoo and Success Factors

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.

Odoo objects Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
CRM Leads (crm.lead) Leads and opportunities synced with marketing and enrichment systems. Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. CRM Leads (crm.lead) is specific to Odoo and Position to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase Orders (purchase.order) Procurement documents shared with supplier-facing systems. PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Purchase Orders (purchase.order) is specific to Odoo and PerEmail and PerPhone to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Inventory Transfers (stock.picking) Delivery and receipt operations synced for fulfillment visibility. User Core identity/User entity behind role-based permissions; a model distinct from Employee Central, synced two-way with a directory or IdP and downstream apps. Inventory Transfers (stock.picking) is specific to Odoo and User to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employees (hr.employee) HR records read for directory and provisioning syncs. PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. Employees (hr.employee) is specific to Odoo and PerPerson to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Projects and Tasks (project.project / project.task) Work items synced with external project tools. EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. Projects and Tasks (project.project / project.task) is specific to Odoo and EmpEmployment to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Contacts (res.partner) The unified person/company record used across sales, invoicing, and purchasing; the anchor for CRM syncs. EmpJob Effective-dated job info: position, department, manager, FTE, pay grade, cost center; the most-synced record for downstream HR and provisioning. Contacts (res.partner) is specific to Odoo and EmpJob to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Odoo and Success Factors

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.

Odoo Success Factors Sub-second propagation

DetectionOdoo notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on the write_date timestamp every record carries.

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

Success Factors Odoo Sub-second propagation

DetectionSuccess Factors notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling on each entity's lastModifiedDateTime / lastModifiedOn (effective-dated entities require date-range handling).

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Odoo: Self-hosted instances have no fixed rate limits; Odoo Online is subject to the platform's fair-use limits.
  • Success Factors: OData calls are throttled at the tenant level (Access Limits for OData V2); large reads must be paginated (default page size 1000) via $top/$skip or paging cursors.
