Unify Finance & Operations: Seamless Xero Infor Integration
Connect your accounting powerhouse with your enterprise resource planning system for real-time data, automated workflows, and unparalleled business agility.
The Disconnected Enterprise: Why Siloed Xero & Infor Data Holds You Back
Without a robust integration, your Xero financial data and Infor operational data exist in separate silos, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and delayed insights. This fragmentation creates a chasm between your accounting and core business processes.
-
Manual data entry between Xero and Infor, prone to human error and delays.
-
Inaccurate or outdated inventory levels leading to overselling or stockouts.
-
Delayed financial closes due to manual reconciliation of sales orders, invoices, and payments.
-
Lack of a unified customer or vendor view across systems, impacting service and supplier relations.
-
Difficulty in generating comprehensive, real-time reports that combine financial and operational metrics.
-
Challenges in complying with financial regulations due to inconsistent data across platforms.

Deep Dive: Xero & Infor Integration Architecture
Our iPaaS solution provides a robust, secure, and scalable framework for integrating Xero and Infor. It employs an event-driven, API-first approach, ensuring data consistency and real-time synchronization across your enterprise.
Data Flow Steps
Authentication: Securely connect to Xero via OAuth 2.0 and Infor via OAuth 2.0 or API Keys, establishing dedicated service accounts with least privilege.
Event Triggering: Configure webhooks in Xero (for new invoices, payments, contacts) and leverage Infor's API events or outbound messages for key operational changes (new sales orders, inventory updates). For systems without native webhooks, the iPaaS employs efficient polling with 'If-Modified-Since' headers.
Data Extraction: The iPaaS extracts relevant data from the source system (Xero or Infor) based on the triggered event.
Data Transformation & Harmonization: Data is transformed using a visual mapping canvas. This includes field mapping, data type conversions, enrichment (e.g., adding Xero Tracking Categories based on Infor dimensions), and applying business logic (e.g., calculating tax, converting currencies). AI assists in suggesting complex transformations.
Validation: Data is validated against Xero and Infor's API requirements and custom business rules to prevent errors. AI-powered anomaly detection flags unusual data patterns.
Error Handling & Retries: Transient API errors (rate limits, network issues) trigger intelligent retries with exponential backoff. Persistent errors are logged, generate alerts, and routed to a dead-letter queue for manual review and reprocessing.
Data Ingestion: The transformed and validated data is then ingested into the target system (Xero or Infor) via its respective API endpoint.
Monitoring & Reporting: End-to-end monitoring provides real-time visibility into integration health, performance, and data flow status, with comprehensive audit logs for compliance.
Data Touchpoints

Key entities like Customer/Contact, Sales Order/Invoice, Product/Item, PO/Bill are highlighted as touchpoints. Webhooks and API calls are the primary communication methods."

E-commerce Order to Xero Invoice & Payment Reconciliation
Automate the entire sales order lifecycle from an eCommerce platform (via Infor) to Xero, including invoice generation, payment receipt, and bank reconciliation.
Integration Steps:
- 0 Customer places order on eCommerce. Order flows to Infor as a Sales Order.
- 1 Infor Sales Order fulfillment triggers an event to the iPaaS.
- 2 iPaaS creates/updates Xero Contact (if new) and generates a Draft Invoice in Xero using Infor Sales Order Line Items and Customer data.
- 3 Upon Infor Sales Order completion and invoicing, Xero Invoice is authorized.
- 4 Payment received via payment gateway (integrated with Infor) triggers a Payment transaction in Infor.
- 5 iPaaS records a Payment against the Xero Invoice and creates a BankTransaction for reconciliation.
- 6 AI-assisted reconciliation within Xero matches the BankTransaction to the payment.
Business Outcome
Real-time revenue recognition, automated receivables, faster cash application, reduced manual reconciliation, improved customer satisfaction with timely invoices.

API Endpoints & Data Logic
Technical details for developers and architects.
⚡ Transformation Logic
- Canonical Data Model: Data is often transformed into a canonical model within the iPaaS before mapping to the target, ensuring consistency across multiple integrations.
- Lookup Tables: Use internal lookup tables for mapping complex codes (e.g., Infor GL Account Codes to Xero Account Codes, Infor Tax Zones to Xero Tax Types).
- Conditional Logic: Apply transformations only if certain conditions are met (e.g., only create Xero Invoice if Infor Sales Order status is 'Invoiced').
- Data Aggregation/Splitting: Combine multiple Infor fields into one Xero field or split a complex Infor field into multiple Xero fields.
- Date/Time Formatting: Standardize date and time formats to meet each system's requirements.
🛡️ Error Handling
- Xero API rate limit exceeded (handled by backoff and queuing).
- Invalid data format for a required field (e.g., incorrect date format).
- Missing mandatory fields in Xero or Infor payload.
- Duplicate record creation due to existing ID conflict.
- Authentication token expiration (handled by automated refresh).
- Network connectivity issues between iPaaS and either system.
- Business rule violation (e.g., attempting to create an invoice for an inactive customer).
