Why teams connect Pigment and Workday

Keep the customer, invoice, and payment records that Pigment 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 Tables, Scenarios, Data imports, Users and permissions in Pigment with Time Off and Absence, Payroll Results, Suppliers, Customers and Invoices 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

  • Keep dimension lists such as departments and cost centers consistent with master data in the ERP.
  • Sync headcount and compensation data from an HRIS into workforce planning models.
  • Keep supervisory-organization hierarchies aligned with planning and workforce tools that model the same structure.
  • Sync worker records from Workday into IT and identity systems so hires, transfers, and terminations provision access automatically.

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.

Payment status everywhere

A payment applied in one system updates the matching invoice in the other, so no one chases a balance that was already settled.

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 Pigment 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.

Pigment objects Workday objects

Applications Planning models organized by domain such as finance, sales, or workforce Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs.
Metrics Multidimensional values holding plans and actuals; the main target for inbound data Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs.
