CRMPro → Salesforce — Infor M3: what the shipped templates set up

This is the capability summary the dlake CLI repository publishes; whitelisted customers fetch the operational skill with "dlake admin get_skill dlake-crmpro-salesforce/erps/infor-m3". It extends the dlake-crmpro-salesforce skill, which holds what is true whatever the source ERP. Both directions for this pair are summarised at /integrations/infor-m3-salesforce/.

CRMPro → Salesforce — Infor M3: what the shipped templates set up

This is a capability summary, not an operating guide. To receive the operational skill you must be a registered, whitelisted Commercient customer. Whitelisted customers fetch it with dlake admin get_skill dlake-crmpro-salesforce/erps/infor-m3 (or list_skills) against the Commercient admin plane. Existing customers who need access or help: contact support@commercient.com. New customers: contact sales@commercient.com to become a customer and be whitelisted.

dlake-crmpro is the parent skill and the authority for everything general: the CRMPro tools, process configuration and field list, the sync history, how source data is selected, and what a run that finds nothing does. Read it first; this page does not repeat it. dlake-crmpro-salesforce is the destination skill this page is a child of, and the authority for the Salesforce conventions that hold across every ERP: read it first, then come back here for what this source’s own templates set. This page grows as the catalogue does.

2. The process rows the templates create

Each template’s setup writes one process configuration row. These are the values it sets; a column the inserts never set is not listed.

Display nameDestination objectMatching keyRun sequence
Infor M3 SalespersonCommercient Code Table Managed Custom ObjectExternal key (custom field)1
AccountAccountCommercient AR customer code2

Every one of these inserts the active setting as 0, so an imported process is inactive until an operator activates it.

3. The views

“Change detection” names which of the three kinds dlake-crmpro defines the view’s own filter makes it; where a view’s shape is not one of those three the column is left empty and the view’s own filter is the authority.

account feedinsert + updatecustomers

4. Order of work

The templates set run sequence from 1 to 20. A run processes active rows in ascending run sequence, which is the order the templates put them in:

  • 1 — Infor M3 Salesperson
  • 2 — Account
  • 3 — Infor M3 Customer
  • 4 — Infor M3 Customer to account lookup
  • 5 — Infor M3 Shipping address
  • 6 — Infor M3 Sales order header
  • 7 — Infor M3 Sales order line
  • 8 — Infor M3 Invoice header
  • 9 — Infor M3 invoice line
  • 10 — Contact
  • 11 — Product
  • 12 — Infor M3 Item master
  • 13 — Infor M3 Item warehouse
  • 17 — Product to Item Master Reverse Lookup
  • 20 — Get Users

These views read another process’s sync output, which is what makes the order a dependency order: the row appears in the view only once the process that writes that sync output has run, so a parent flows on one run and its children on the next.

  • shipping address feed reads account sync output, customer sync output
  • item master feed reads product sync output
  • item warehouse feed reads product sync output, item master sync output
  • product item master lookup feed reads item master sync output
  • account feed reads salesperson sync output, user sync output
  • customer account lookup feed reads customer sync output
  • customer feed reads account sync output, salesperson sync output
  • invoice feed reads account sync output, customer sync output
  • invoice line feed reads invoice sync output
  • sales order line feed reads sales order sync output
  • sales order feed reads account sync output, customer sync output, salesperson sync output

6. Community templates

The catalogue carries 18 community templates for this pair. A community template is authored in a tenant rather than shipped with the product, and it imports the same way as any other. Its own names, notes, field mapping and SQL are tenant content, so what this section states is what the set amounts to: how many templates there are, what they default to doing, which destination objects they write and which groups they fall in. They are not part of the shipped set described above.

  • Templates: 18
  • Default operations: insert on 18, update on 18, delete on 18
  • Marked as circular sync: 0
  • Licence groups they span: 11
  • Destination objects: Account, Product, user, Commercient Item Warehouse Managed Custom Object, Commercient Item Master Managed Custom Object, Commercient Customer Managed Custom Object, Commercient Invoice Header Managed Custom Object, Commercient Invoice Line Managed Custom Object, Commercient Sales Order Header Managed Custom Object, Commercient Sales Order Line Managed Custom Object, Commercient Code Table Managed Custom Object, Commercient Shipping Address Managed Custom Object, Contact, Location, Product item
  • Object display names: Get Users, Account, Contact, Get Location, Infor M3 Customer, Infor M3 Customer to account lookup, Infor M3 Invoice header, Infor M3 invoice line, Infor M3 Item master, Infor M3 Item warehouse, Infor M3 Sales order header, Infor M3 Sales order line and 5 more
  • Template groups: Account, Product, Invoice, Sales order, CRM Ownership, Customer Multi Ship Addresses

7. Verifying

The detail of this section is part of the operational skill. Whitelisted customers fetch it with dlake admin get_skill dlake-crmpro-salesforce/erps/infor-m3.

8. Where this sits

dlake-crmpro is the general operating surface — the CRMPro tools, the setup and transaction tables, field mapping, and the source view contract that applies to every destination. This page adds what the shipped Infor M3 → Salesforce templates set up. dlake-crmpro-salesforce is the destination skill this page sits under: its own text is the authority for the Salesforce conventions that hold across every ERP, and its ERP table lists this page alongside every sibling ERP page for this destination. For the extract leg that fills the source data, see dlake-normalsync; for the on-premises agent that runs it, dlake-syncagent; for the writeback leg, dlake-txdownloaderpro; for standing an integration up, dlake-integration-setup.

How to get started

  • Already a customer: the operational skill tells you how to connect, choose what to sync and run it. Fetch it with dlake admin get_skill dlake-crmpro-salesforce/erps/infor-m3, or ask support@commercient.com.
  • New to Commercient: contact sales@commercient.com. Becoming a customer includes registration and whitelisting, after which the operational skills and tools are available to you.
