Why teams connect Rillet and Workday

Keep the customer, invoice, and payment records that Rillet and Workday share consistent in real time, whether the two systems split your finance stack or one is replacing the other.

Two finance systems in one company usually means one of two setups. Either the systems divide the work, with one issuing invoices or serving a business unit while the other holds the books, or one is on its way out and both must stay accurate during the transition. In both cases, the customer, invoice, and payment records the two systems share start to drift the moment updates are keyed twice or moved by hand.

Stacksync syncs Reimbursement, Custom Field, Account, Customer in Rillet with Compensation, Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results, Suppliers in Workday bi-directionally and in real time. A record created or corrected in either system appears in the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly batch jobs.

That matters most at close. When both systems agree on who was billed, what was paid, and what is outstanding, reconciliation stops being a hunt for which copy of the truth is current.

Common use cases

  • 01 Sync AR and collection status back to customer success tools ahead of renewals.
  • 02 Keep customers and invoices aligned between Rillet and a CRM so finance and sales work from the same account records.
  • 03 Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
  • 04 Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.

Common sync patterns

Parallel run during a migration

When one system is replacing the other, keep both live and matching through the cutover, so no transaction falls between the last export and go-live.

One customer master

A customer's name, billing details, or payment terms corrected in either system update the other immediately, so the next invoice always uses current information.

Payment status everywhere

A payment applied in one system updates the matching invoice in the other, so no one chases a balance that was already settled.

What you can sync between Rillet 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.

Rillet objects Workday objects How this pairing syncs
Journal Entry Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Account Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. Account is specific to Rillet and Suppliers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Customer Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. Customer is specific to Rillet and Customers and Invoices to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Vendor Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs. Vendor is specific to Rillet and Custom Reports (RaaS) to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Invoice Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs. Invoice is specific to Rillet and Workers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Credit Memo Synced with incremental and full sync per the Stacksync docs. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems. Credit Memo is specific to Rillet and Organizations to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Rillet 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.

Rillet Workday Sub-second propagation

DetectionRillet pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Near real-time updates via change tracking.

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

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

Rate-limit considerations
