Send M3OutputDocument (XML) to ION

In the October 2026 release, Infor introduced a direct connection point from Infor M3 to ION for sending M3 output documents.

Note: This feature is not enabled by default and is scheduled to become enabled by default in the April 2027 release (2027.04). Until then, it must be manually enabled through CMS975, as described in KB3692409.

Step 1

Create a new service ID in MNS216 and refer to screen shot below. 

Service type must be M3_XML_CSV.

Commun type 7-ION can be seen after enabling the feature in CMS975.

For the Doc Name, I tried to define a object in Data Fabric Data Catalog Object Schemas based on the M3OutputDocument XML structure , but it system returns the below error (MNS209).  It worked when I configure it as AnyDocument.

MSG {"status":"FAIL","code":473,"errors":"Document 'XXXXXX' is not accepted for tenantId 'XXXXX_TST' and logicalId 'lid://infor.m3.m3:fnd'."}

Step 2

In MNS204, select the Service ID created in Step 1 for the document you want to send. Create MNS205 record too. 

Step 3

Then, create the ION Dataflow to receive the xml document. For this post, I've created very simple DF like below. 

• Goto the Connection Points in ION Desk, select m3_fnd connection point. 
• Add AnyDocument to the document of the connection point. 

• In the Dataflow, add Application activity and select m3_fnd  application. 
  
  
  
  
  

Step 4

Test the Dataflow. 

Limitations
