The Challenge

The Challenge of Disconnected Dynamics 365 & Infor CloudSuite Systems

Operating Dynamics 365 and Infor CloudSuite as separate, siloed systems creates significant operational inefficiencies, data inconsistencies, and hinders strategic decision-making. Businesses often grapple with manual processes that are slow, error-prone, and resource-intensive.

  • Manual data entry and reconciliation between sales, finance, and operations.
  • Delayed or inaccurate financial reporting due to fragmented data.
  • Inconsistent customer and product master data across systems.
  • Lack of real-time inventory visibility leading to overselling or stockouts.
  • Slow order-to-cash and procure-to-pay cycles impacting cash flow.
  • Compliance risks from disparate data handling and audit trails.
  • High IT overhead for custom, point-to-point integrations that are fragile and hard to maintain.

Technical Integration Details: Dynamics 365 & Infor CloudSuite

Our iPaaS solution provides a sophisticated, API-first approach to integrate Dynamics 365 and Infor CloudSuite. It leverages the strengths of both platforms' APIs and eventing mechanisms to ensure secure, scalable, and real-time data exchange.

Data Flow Steps

Authentication & Connection: Securely establish connections using OAuth 2.0 (Azure AD for D365, Infor OS for CloudSuite).

Event Triggering: Configure webhooks or Dataverse events in Dynamics 365, and subscribe to Infor ION Business Object Documents (BODs) or use API polling for event detection.

Data Extraction: Extract relevant data from the source system using optimized API calls (e.g., OData queries for D365, REST calls for Infor).

Data Transformation: Utilize the iPaaS's visual mapping engine to transform data structures and values, ensuring compatibility between systems. AI assists in complex transformations.

Data Validation: Apply business logic and data quality rules to ensure data integrity before sending to the target system.

Data Loading: Insert or update records in the target system via its respective APIs, employing batching for efficiency where appropriate.

Error Handling & Monitoring: Implement robust retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues, and real-time alerts for any integration failures.

Status Updates: Synchronize transaction statuses (e.g., order status, invoice payment status) back to the originating system.

Data Touchpoints

Dynamics 365: Account, Contact, Product, Sales Order, Sales Order Detail, Invoice, Vendor, Purchase Order, General Ledger Account, Payment Transaction (custom)
Infor CloudSuite: Customer, Product / Item, Sales Order, Purchase Order, Invoice (Customer/Vendor), Inventory, Payment, General Ledger Entry, Vendor, Employee

Data Mapping

Key Entities & Field-Level Mapping between Dynamics 365 and Infor CloudSuite

Achieving seamless integration requires meticulous mapping of common business entities. Our iPaaS provides a visual canvas and AI assistance to ensure accurate and consistent data flow, addressing schema differences and business logic requirements.

Customer / Account

Synchronizes customer master data, ensuring a unified view for sales, service, and finance.

Dynamics 365 Fields

[field, accountid],[type, GUID],[notes, Unique identifier for D365 Account.] [field, name],[type, String],[notes, Company/Account Name.] [field, accountnumber],[type, String],[notes, Customer Account Number.] [field, primarycontactid],[type, Lookup],[notes, Link to primary Contact.] [field, address1_composite],[type, String],[notes, Formatted address string. Requires parsing.] [field, creditlimit],[type, Decimal],[notes, Credit limit for the customer.] [field, paymenttermscode],[type, OptionSet],[notes, Payment terms reference.]

Infor CloudSuite Fields

[field, customerID],[type, String],[notes, Unique identifier for Infor Customer.] [field, customerName],[type, String],[notes, Customer Name.] [field, addressLine1],[type, String],[notes, Street address.] [field, city],[type, String] [field, state],[type, String] [field, zipCode],[type, String] [field, country],[type, String] [field, email],[type, String] [field, phone],[type, String] [field, taxID],[type, String] [field, creditLimit],[type, Decimal] [field, paymentTerms],[type, String],[notes, Payment terms code/description.]

Mapping Notes

Dynamics 365 `accountid` maps to Infor `customerID` (or custom external ID field). `address1_composite` from D365 needs parsing into individual Infor address fields. `creditlimit` and `paymenttermscode` are critical for financial alignment and often flow bi-directionally. Deduplication logic based on `accountnumber` or `name` is essential during sync.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about integration implementation, security, and best practices.

General Integration FAQs

What is the best way to integrate Dynamics 365 with Infor CloudSuite?
The optimal approach is to use a modern iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) that provides robust, pre-built connectors for both Dynamics 365 (Dataverse) and Infor CloudSuite (Infor OS/ION). This enables an API-first, event-driven integration strategy for real-time data synchronization and complex workflow orchestration.

AI & iPaaS FAQs

How does AI enhance Dynamics 365 and Infor CloudSuite integrations?
AI significantly enhances integrations by providing intelligent capabilities such as automated field mapping suggestions, anomaly detection in data (e.g., flagging unusual invoice amounts), intelligent document processing for vendor invoices, predictive insights for inventory or demand, and AI-assisted testing of integration workflows. This moves workflows from automated to autonomous.

Low-Code/No-Code FAQs

Can I use low-code/no-code tools to build integrations between these systems?
Absolutely. Modern iPaaS platforms offer extensive low-code/no-code capabilities, allowing business analysts and citizen integrators to visually design, build, and deploy sophisticated workflows between Dynamics 365 and Infor CloudSuite without extensive coding. This accelerates automation and reduces IT dependency.

Financial Integration FAQs

What are the common challenges when integrating Dynamics 365 Finance with Infor CloudSuite ERP?
Common challenges include reconciling payment transactions, ensuring accurate General Ledger postings (especially with complex account segments), handling multi-currency transactions, and achieving real-time financial reporting. A robust iPaaS mitigates these by providing strong data validation, automated reconciliation logic, and secure handling of financial data.

Security & Compliance FAQs

How do I ensure data security and compliance during these integrations?
Security and compliance are paramount. Best practices include using Azure AD OAuth 2.0 for Dynamics 365 and Infor OS OAuth 2.0 for Infor CloudSuite, encrypting data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest, implementing the principle of least privilege, redacting sensitive information from logs, and ensuring your iPaaS adheres to regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and PCI DSS.

Infor Specific FAQs

What role does Infor ION play in CloudSuite integration with an iPaaS?
Infor ION (Intelligent Open Network) is Infor's middleware for event-driven communication using Business Object Documents (BODs). When integrating with an iPaaS, ION acts as a powerful messaging bus. The iPaaS can subscribe to ION events (e.g., 'New Sales Order' BOD) or publish BODs to ION, orchestrating complex workflows and ensuring real-time data flow across Infor CloudSuite and external systems.

Performance & APIs FAQs

How are API rate limits managed for Dynamics 365 and Infor CloudSuite integrations?
Both Dynamics 365 and Infor CloudSuite have API rate limits. Our iPaaS manages these through intelligent strategies like request queuing, dynamic throttling with exponential backoff, batching operations where possible, and prioritizing event-driven updates. Proactive monitoring dashboards provide visibility into API consumption to prevent hitting limits.

Customization FAQs

Can custom fields and entities be integrated between Dynamics 365 and Infor CloudSuite?
Yes, our iPaaS fully supports the integration of custom fields and entities from Dynamics 365 (Dataverse) and custom fields/UDFs from Infor CloudSuite. The visual mapping engine and AI assistance make it easy to include these custom data points in your integration flows, ensuring your unique business requirements are met.
