Infor CloudSuite and Cin7 integration

What moves between them

Supplier and purchase order data flows from Infor CloudSuite into Cin7 Core on a schedule you control. When CloudSuite receives a new invoice, ml-connector fetches it, maps the supplier to the matching Cin7 vendor using ID matching, and creates or updates the purchase record. GL accounts are synced from CloudSuite into Cin7 whenever the account master changes, ensuring both systems allocate costs to the same chart. Cin7's chart of accounts is read-only, so CloudSuite remains the source of truth for accounting structure.

How ml-connector handles it

ml-connector stores CloudSuite OAuth credentials encrypted and calls the tenant-specific base URL extracted from each customer's .ionapi file, refreshing the OAuth token before expiry to avoid mid-transaction failures. It polls CloudSuite's supplier, purchase order, and invoice APIs on a cadence you define (daily, weekly, or after each accounting period close), filtering by modified date to avoid re-processing. For Cin7, it authenticates using the API key headers and respects the per-application-key rate limits by backing off on 429 responses. Suppliers are matched by vendor ID; if a match is not found, ml-connector creates a new supplier in Cin7. GL accounts are fetched from CloudSuite and written to Cin7's GL master (which is read-only in Cin7, so the mapping is informational and audit-trail only). Every record carries a full audit trail and can be replayed if a downstream call fails.

A real-world example

A mid-market distributor runs Infor CloudSuite for procurement, finance, and multi-location inventory management. They use Cin7 Core to manage order fulfillment and day-to-day stock levels across warehouses. Before the integration, the accounting team exported vendor and invoice data from CloudSuite weekly and manually updated Cin7, causing delays and reconciliation gaps between the two systems. With CloudSuite and Cin7 Core connected, new suppliers and invoices flow automatically into Cin7 on a schedule, purchase orders sync both directions, and the GL accounts in both systems always match. Month-end close is faster because the accounting teams no longer spend hours reconciling vendor lists and invoice totals between systems.

What you can do

• •Sync suppliers, purchase orders, and invoices from Infor CloudSuite into Cin7 Core based on a schedule tied to your accounting period or procurement cycle.
• •Map CloudSuite GL accounts to Cin7 so every purchase is allocated to the correct accounting dimension.
• •Authenticate CloudSuite with OAuth 2.0 and tenant-specific endpoints, and Cin7 with API key headers, handling token refresh and rate-limit backoff automatically.
• •Match suppliers between systems by vendor ID and create new supplier records in Cin7 when no match exists.
• •Maintain a full audit trail of every record synced, with the ability to replay records if a downstream call fails.

Questions

Which direction does data move between Infor CloudSuite and Cin7 Core?

Supplier, purchase order, and invoice data flows from CloudSuite into Cin7 Core. GL accounts are synced one-way from CloudSuite to Cin7 to ensure both systems allocate costs to the same accounting structure. Cin7's chart of accounts is read-only, so CloudSuite remains the source of truth for accounting.

How does ml-connector handle CloudSuite's tenant-specific base URLs and OAuth authentication?

ml-connector extracts the base URL and OAuth token endpoint from each customer's .ionapi credentials file and stores them encrypted. It refreshes the OAuth token proactively before expiry to avoid mid-transaction failures, and respects CloudSuite's per-tenant token lifetime configuration (1 to 24 hours).

What happens when a supplier in CloudSuite does not match a vendor in Cin7 Core?

ml-connector matches suppliers by vendor ID. If no match is found in Cin7, it creates a new supplier record automatically. The audit trail captures the match result so you can review any unmatched suppliers and correct the mapping if needed.
