Microsoft Dynamics 365 to UKG Integration: How to Connect Dynamics 365 with UKG

When payroll runs in UKG, the journal entry appears in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance automatically — nobody retypes it. Flexspring connects Dynamics 365 to UKG Pro, UKG Ready and UKG Pro Workforce Management directly, so payroll data, employee records, approved timesheets and expense reimbursements move between the two systems in near real time over an API-to-API connection.

The payroll journal entry is summarised into one entry per payroll run per legal entity, grouped by department or location if you need it, and carries no detail about individual employees’ pay. The integration balances debits and credits and notifies you if anything does not reconcile. One connector covers a single legal entity; another covers payrolls mapped to multiple entities.

Flexspring is one of the leading sellers of custom connectors for UKG, and its experts do all the custom data mapping and maintain the connection afterwards, so no internal IT resource is needed. With Flexspring, you only pay for the use case or use cases you need.

How the integration works

1
Scoping. You pick the use cases you need from the list above. Flexspring maps every field between the two systems, including your custom fields and business rules.
2
Direct connection. Flexspring iPaaS connects the two systems to each other over secure APIs. There are no spreadsheets to export, no files to transfer, and no manual steps in the middle.
3
Near real-time sync. When a record changes — a hire, a promotion, an approved time-off request — the change moves across in near real time rather than waiting for an overnight batch.
4
Monitoring and error handling. The integration is monitored continuously, with error handling, visibility into every transaction, and a named support contact. When either app changes their API, Flexspring updates your integration.
5
Ongoing changes. Your integration is future-proofed for ongoing enhancements without re-implementation, and adapts to custom fields, new locations, new systems and business rules.

Flexspring iPaaS does not store employee data beyond temporary transaction logs, and meets SOC 2, GDPR and ISO 27001 standards.
