Migrate your Accolent ERP data
Mid-market distribution and manufacturing ERP with strong order-flow and inventory modules, but no public API — making data extraction entirely dependent on on-premise database access or vendor-assisted exports.
In its favor
Why people choose Accolent ERP
The signal that keeps Accolent ERP on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Order-flow automation is the most praised feature — buyers cite end-to-end visibility from quote to fulfillment as the primary driver, particularly in distribution and wholesale environments.
Multi-warehouse inventory tracking lets businesses see stock levels, locations, and reorder points across multiple facilities in real time from a single dashboard.
Native AWS cloud deployment means no local IT staff required for server management, OS patching, or security updates — ADS Solutions handles infrastructure for cloud tenants.
Integrated financial management ties accounting directly to sales, purchasing, and inventory modules rather than requiring separate software or manual reconciliation.
Customer support receives consistent praise across G2, Capterra, and SoftwareAdvice, with users noting responsive assistance during implementation and day-to-day use.
The platform has no public API — GetApp's FAQ explicitly states this — making third-party integrations and automated data pipelines impossible without custom development.
Customers migrating to platforms with open APIs (NetSuite, Acumatica, Odoo) report frustration at having to rebuild integrations that worked natively within Accolent.
The report designer exposes underlying tables but requires professional services or significant SQL knowledge to build custom exports, limiting self-service data extraction.
One reviewer noted the platform felt slower transitioning from an on-premise system to cloud, though this was addressed through subsequent updates.

What gets migrated
Accolent ERP object support
Object-by-object support for Accolent ERP migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Mapping requiredCustomer records in Accolent include billing/shipping addresses, contact details, and account type flags. We extract all fields and map them to the destination's account or contact object, preserving any custom properties attached to the customer record.
Vendors
Mapping requiredVendor master data includes address, payment terms, and PO defaults. We extract vendor records and map them to the destination's vendor or supplier object, preserving term configurations.
Items (Products/Inventory)
Fully supportedItems are the core inventory object in Accolent, supporting multiple warehouse locations, cost layers, and reorder points. We map item records including pricing tiers and BOM links directly to the destination product or SKU object.
Sales Orders
Mapping requiredOpen and historical sales orders carry line items, pricing, and fulfillment status. We extract all order headers and lines, flagging fulfilled vs. open status so the destination can set appropriate state on import.
Purchase Orders
Mapping requiredPO records include vendor references, line items, and receipt status. We extract PO headers and lines, mapping to the destination's purchase order or vendor order object and preserving receipt-stage flags.
Chart of Accounts
Mapping requiredAccolent uses a structured GL chart with account numbers, names, types (Asset, Liability, Expense, Revenue), and optional cost-center assignments. We extract the full chart and map account codes to the destination GL.
Open AP/AR Balances
Mapping requiredOutstanding invoices and credit memos represent live payables and receivables. We extract open AP and AR records as balance-forward items, mapping them to the destination's accounts-payable and accounts-receivable modules.
Bills of Materials (BOM)
Mapping requiredManufacturing customers use multi-level BOMs to define component relationships and quantities. We extract BOM headers and all component lines, preserving the bill structure and quantity-per relationships for the destination MRP or manufacturing module.

Tax Codes
Mapping requiredTax codes define rates and applicability rules for sales and purchasing transactions. We extract the tax-code master and map them to the destination's tax configuration, flagging any jurisdiction-specific codes for review.
Fixed Assets
Mapping requiredFixed-asset records include acquisition cost, depreciation method, accumulated depreciation, and asset class. We extract asset records and map them to the destination's fixed-assets register.
Documents and Attachments

We do not migrate attachments; we document the file references so the customer can manually transfer them if needed.
