CRMPro → Salesforce — Infor LN 6: 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-ln-6". 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-ln-6-salesforce/.

CRMPro → Salesforce — Infor LN 6: 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-ln-6 (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.

1. What the templates deliver

GroupBusiness outcomeObjectsSource tables and views
AccountIn addition to creating the Account record from your ERP customer records, Commercient syncs over the entire Accounting AR Customer record into a Commercient AR Customer object which is a Managed Custom Object (MCO). A lookup field is provided to lookup to the default AR Customer record MCO from the Account record. New records are created, existing ones updated, and records removed in the ERP are deleted.Account, Commercient Baan Customer Managed Custom Object, Commercient Baan Salesperson Managed Custom Objectbusiness partner records, billing business partner records, addresses, countries
Customer Multi Ship AddressesIf you are using multiple ship to addresses for a given AR Customer in your ERP system then you will be able to see all the addresses inside the CRM Account screen in a Commercient Multi Ship To Address MCO related list. New records are created, existing ones updated, and records removed in the ERP are deleted.Commercient Baan Customer Address Managed Custom Objectaddresses, business partner records
InvoiceBoth Open and Historical invoices are synchronized. Open invoice changes, such as a balance change, or a terms change are reflected in the CRM as they sync based on the frequency of the sync you have chosen (every hour, for example). New records are created, existing ones updated, and records removed in the ERP are deleted.Commercient Baan Invoice Header Managed Custom Object, Commercient Baan Invoice Detail Managed Custom Object, Commercient Baan Invoice Payment Managed Custom Objectsales invoices, sales invoice lines
Sales orderCommercient will sync the Sales Orders from the ERP Sales Order Entry module to the Commercient Sales Order Header (MCO) objects in CRM. In the CRM, customer service and sales people can visualize the status of the order such as on hold, backorder, forward order, scheduled for delivery, whether it has shipped, and completion status. New records are created, existing ones updated, and records removed in the ERP are deleted.Commercient Baan Sales Order Header Managed Custom Object, Commercient Baan Sales Order Detail Managed Custom Objectsales orders, sales order lines

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
Sales Person SyncCommercient Baan Salesperson Managed Custom ObjectExternal key (custom field)2
Account SyncAccountCommercient AR customer code4
Customer SyncCommercient Baan Customer Managed Custom ObjectCommercient external key (Baan package)6
Sales order Header SyncCommercient Baan Sales Order Header Managed Custom ObjectCommercient external key (Baan package)7

Address SyncCommercient Baan Customer Address Managed Custom ObjectCommercient external key (Baan package)15
Account To Customer Reverse LookupAccountCommercient AR customer code21

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.

invoice line feedinsert + updatesales invoice lines

account reverse lookup feedinsert + updatebusiness partner records

4. Order of work

The templates set run sequence from 2 to 21. A run processes active rows in ascending run sequence, which is the order the templates put them in:

  • 2 — Sales Person Sync
  • 4 — Account Sync
  • 6 — Customer Sync
  • 7 — Sales order Header Sync
  • 9 — Sales order Line Sync
  • 10 — Invoice Header Sync
  • 11 — Invoice Line Sync
  • 12 — Invoice Payment Sync
  • 15 — Address Sync
  • 21 — Account To Customer Reverse Lookup

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.

  • account reverse lookup feed reads account sync output, customer sync output
  • customer feed reads account sync output
  • address feed reads account sync output, customer sync output
  • invoice feed reads account sync output, customer sync output
  • invoice line feed reads retrieved opportunity sync output, invoice sync output; no template in this set writes retrieved opportunity sync output
  • invoice payment feed reads account sync output, customer sync output, invoice sync output
  • sales order feed reads account sync output, customer sync output
  • sales order line feed reads sales order sync output

5. Field mapping

Each template carries its intended mapping in field mapping.

6. Community templates

The catalogue carries 21 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: 21
  • Default operations: insert on 21, update on 21, delete on 21
  • Marked as circular sync: 0
  • Licence groups they span: 11
  • Destination objects: Account, Baan Division Code (custom object), Baan Opportunity Header (custom object), Baan Opportunity Line (custom object), Baan Order Shipping (custom object), Commercient Baan Customer Managed Custom Object, Commercient Baan Customer Address Managed Custom Object, Commercient Baan Invoice Detail Managed Custom Object, Commercient Baan Invoice Header Managed Custom Object, Commercient Baan Invoice Payment Managed Custom Object, Commercient Baan Payment Term Managed Custom Object, Commercient Baan Sales Order Detail Managed Custom Object, Commercient Baan Sales Order Header Managed Custom Object, Commercient Baan Salesperson Managed Custom Object, Content document, Opportunity, Quote History (custom object) and a custom object
  • Object display names: Account Sync, Account To Customer Reverse Lookup, Address Sync, Baan Opportunity header Sync, Baan Opportunity line Sync, Baan Division Code (custom object), Baan Order Shipping (custom object), Customer Sync, Get Account, Get Opportunity, Invoice Header Sync, Invoice Line Sync, 8 more and a further template
  • Template groups: Account, Customer Multi Ship Addresses, Invoice, Opportunity, Sales order, CRM Opportunity and Line

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-ln-6.

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 LN 6 → 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.
