Infor CloudSuite EDI Integration
EDI and order automation for Infor CloudSuite Industrial, Distribution, M3 and LN
Infor CloudSuite (Infor) requires third-party tooling for EDI order processing. OrderSync connects via direct API to sync EDI, PDF, and email orders as Infor CloudSuite sales records automatically. Most Infor CloudSuite integrations go live in 2 to 4 weeks.
Infor CloudSuite covers several different ERPs under one brand: CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine), CloudSuite Distribution (formerly SX.e), M3 (the base for CloudSuite Food & Beverage and Fashion) and LN. Each handles EDI differently, which is why Infor customers often end up running a separate EDI provider plus manual keying for PDF and email orders. OrderSync reads orders in every format, checks them against your Infor item and customer data, and delivers them as EDI that your CloudSuite edition can import.
Who Uses Infor CloudSuite?
EDI Challenges for Infor CloudSuite Users
Infor CloudSuite users face specific challenges when they need to process EDI orders from retail trading partners:
Common Pain Points
- Each CloudSuite edition handles EDI differently, so advice for SyteLine doesn't apply to M3 or CloudSuite Distribution
- ION-based integration usually means an Infor partner engagement and a project timeline
- Retail EDI volume brings compliance rules (ASN timing, label data) that the ERP doesn't enforce for you
- PDF and email purchase orders still get keyed by hand into Infor even when EDI is automated
- Every new trading partner means a new map and another round of testing
How OrderSync Integrates with Infor CloudSuite
Available today on any Infor CloudSuite deployment that can consume them: EDI 850 purchase orders over SFTP, with 855, 810, 856, and 997 on the same channel. A native connector is available on request and scoped per deployment: Infor ION API and Infor OS integration. It would sync orders as Infor Sales Orders through ION messaging with full item and customer matching. It would support Infor's industry-specific data models.
Supported EDI Transactions
OrderSync processes the following ASC X12 transaction types and syncs them directly to Infor CloudSuite:

Frequently Asked Questions
Any edition that can import EDI: CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine), CloudSuite Distribution, M3 and LN. OrderSync delivers orders as X12 850 files over SFTP, which is the common denominator. A native ION or API connection can be scoped per deployment, but it isn't required to get started.
No. The standard setup delivers EDI files over SFTP to the EDI import your edition already uses. ION is only involved if you ask for a native connection, which is scoped as a separate project.
Yes. That's the main reason Infor customers use it. PDF, email and spreadsheet orders are extracted, checked against your Infor data and delivered the same way as EDI orders.
It depends on your edition and how many trading partners you start with. The SFTP-based setup avoids an Infor development project, so the main work is loading your item and customer data and testing with your first partners.
