Why teams connect Anaplan and Workday
Keep the customer, invoice, and payment records that Anaplan 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 Line Items, Lists, List Items, Versions in Anaplan with Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries, Custom Reports (RaaS), Workers 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
- Sync CRM pipeline data into Anaplan for sales capacity and quota planning.
- Push approved plan and target numbers from Anaplan back to the CRM or compensation systems.
- Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.
- Replicate worker, organization, and compensation data into a secured database for people analytics without giving analysts tenant access.
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.
Entity or business-unit roll-up
Where each system serves a different entity or unit, sync the shared records so group-level reporting starts from consistent data.
What you can sync between Anaplan 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.
| Anaplan objects | Workday objects | |
|---|---|---|
| Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. | Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools. | |
| List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. | Compensation Pay components read into payroll, planning, and equity systems under strict access control. | |
| Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. | Time Off and Absence Balances and requests synced with scheduling and workforce tools. | |
| Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. | Payroll Results Completed pay data exported to finance and benefits systems. | |
| Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. | Suppliers Workday Financials vendor records aligned with procurement tools. | |
| Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. | Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. |

How the Anaplan and Workday connectors work
Anaplan
- Integration surface
- REST APIs: a Bulk API that runs predefined import/export actions and a transactional API for model metadata and cell data
- Authentication
- Token-based sessions obtained via basic authentication, CA certificates, or OAuth 2.0 through Anaplan's authentication service
- Change detection
- Polling and scheduled export actions; the platform does not expose change events
- Capabilities
- read · write
- Rate limits
- Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions
Workday
- Integration surface
- SOAP Workday Web Services (WWS), a REST API, and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS) endpoints for custom reports
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 for the REST API; integration system users with WS-Security or certificate-based auth for SOAP
- Change detection
- Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment; no general webhook surface
- Capabilities
- read · write

FAQ
Anaplan and Workday integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Anaplan and Workday: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Anaplan's Lists and List Items), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Anaplan: The transactional API allows reading model metadata and reading or writing individual cell values without a full import. Workday: Workday is a multi-tenant SaaS where each tenant's configuration differs and web services are versioned, so integrations pin a WWS version and upgrade deliberately. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Anaplan and Workday without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Anaplan and Workday records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Anaplan and Workday connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Anaplan–Workday integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Anaplan and Workday. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Anaplan: Polling and scheduled export actions; the platform does not expose change events. On Workday: Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment; no general webhook surface. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
