Why teams connect Plex ERP and Success Factors

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that Plex ERP 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. Plex ERP 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 Shipments, Quality records, Parts, Inventory in Plex ERP with Position, PerEmail and PerPhone, User, PerPerson 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 Plex ERP 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 sales orders captured in e-commerce or EDI systems into Plex for scheduling and fulfillment.
  • 02 Mirror purchase orders and receipts to accounting or planning tools.
  • 03 Keep Foundation Objects (department, location, cost center) aligned between SuccessFactors and an ERP so cost-center and org hierarchies match.
  • 04 Write updated PerEmail, PerPhone, and User attributes back into SuccessFactors from an identity or directory system so contact data stays current.

Common sync patterns

Reporting lines drive approvals

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

Where Success Factors runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Success Factors posts into Plex ERP 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 Plex ERP is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

What you can sync between Plex ERP 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.

Plex ERP objects Success Factors objects How this pairing syncs
Purchase orders Procurement records mirrored to accounting and planning systems Position Position Management records for headcount and requisition planning; synced with an ATS or ERP to keep positions and reqs aligned. Purchase orders is specific to Plex ERP and Position to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customers Account records kept consistent with the sales team's CRM PerEmail and PerPhone Contact sub-entities under PerPerson; synced two-way with a directory or comms system to keep worker contact data current. Customers is specific to Plex ERP and PerEmail and PerPhone to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Suppliers Vendor records aligned with procurement and AP tools 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. Suppliers is specific to Plex ERP and User to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Shipments Outbound logistics records synced to trading partners and tracking systems PerPerson Person-level container in Employee Central holding biographical data; effective-dated child entities (PerPersonal, PerEmail, PerPhone) hang off it. Shipments is specific to Plex ERP and PerPerson to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Quality records Checksheet and inspection data pulled into plant dashboards EmpEmployment Employment record tying a person to an employment period (hire, service dates); carries lastModifiedDateTime used for incremental polling. Quality records is specific to Plex ERP and EmpEmployment to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Parts Item master records shared with CRM, e-commerce, and planning tools EmpJob Effective-dated job info: position, department, manager, FTE, pay grade, cost center; the most-synced record for downstream HR and provisioning. Parts is specific to Plex ERP and EmpJob to Success Factors — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Plex ERP 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.

Plex ERP Success Factors Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Plex ERP for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

Success Factors Plex ERP 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 Plex ERP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Plex ERP: Subject to the platform's API rate 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.
