Why teams connect Paylocity and Sage 100

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Sage 100 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. Sage 100 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 GL Accounts, Journal Entries, Customers, Vendors in Sage 100 with Custom Fields, Employees, Onboarding, Deductions (Pay Setup) 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 Sage 100 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 GL and sales history to a warehouse or Postgres database for reporting off the on-premise system.
  • 02 Sync customers, invoices, and payment status into a CRM so sales sees AR standing without opening the ERP.
  • 03 Push hired candidates from an ATS into Paylocity via the Onboarding endpoint, then read Onboarding Status to confirm the record before the first payroll run.
  • 04 Upsert recurring Deductions and Earnings on employee records when benefits or 401(k) elections change in a benefits admin system, without re-keying payroll setup.

Common sync patterns

One org structure

Departments, cost centers, and locations that both systems reference stay in agreement, so labor cost, approvals, and reporting in Sage 100 roll up to the same structure Paylocity maintains.

Reporting lines drive approvals

Manager and reporting-hierarchy changes in Paylocity keep expense and purchase approval chains in Sage 100 pointed at the right people.

Where Paylocity runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Paylocity posts into Sage 100 as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.

What you can sync between Paylocity and Sage 100

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.

Paylocity objects Sage 100 objects How this pairing syncs
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. AR Invoices Billing documents synced outward for payment status and revenue reporting. Local and State Taxes is specific to Paylocity and AR Invoices to Sage 100 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Direct Deposit Read-only: Get All Direct Deposit and Get Employee Bank Accounts return main and additional allocations. Bank details cannot be written through the API. Purchase Orders Procurement documents read for spend and receiving workflows. Direct Deposit is specific to Paylocity and Purchase Orders to Sage 100 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Pay Statements Read-only detailed payroll statement data — earnings, deductions, taxes, and direct deposit allocations by year, check date, or date range. Pulled for reporting, never written. GL Accounts Chart of accounts read for mapping transactions in finance integrations. Pay Statements is specific to Paylocity and GL Accounts to Sage 100 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Company Codes Read-only reference codes and descriptions (cost centers, departments, positions) used to validate field mappings on employee writes. Journal Entries Posted GL activity replicated to warehouses for FP&A. Company Codes is specific to Paylocity and Journal Entries to Sage 100 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Custom Fields Read-only company-specific custom fields returned by category, used to enrich the employee record downstream. Customers AR customer master records synced to CRMs for account and credit visibility. Custom Fields is specific to Paylocity and Customers to Sage 100 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Employees Core HR record keyed by companyId + employeeId; two-way via Create New Employee (POST) and Update Employee (PATCH), plus Get Employee / Get All Employees for reads. Vendors AP vendor master records synced with procurement and payment tools. Employees is specific to Paylocity and Vendors to Sage 100 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Paylocity and Sage 100

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.

Paylocity Sage 100 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 Sage 100 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Sage 100 Paylocity Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Sage 100 for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Scheduled polling.

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

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).

How the Paylocity and Sage 100 connectors work

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.
