Overview
Accura (Accura360/Accura MIS) is a print-industry-specific MIS and ERP system with no publicly documented REST or bulk API, requiring all data extraction through in-app CSV generation or direct database queries with vendor coordination. Infor CloudSuite is a cloud-native, industry-specific ERP suite running on AWS with a multi-tenant architecture, ION integration layer, and a dedicated migration utility that loads data through a migration database before copying to the production environment. These fundamental architectural differences define the migration approach: we extract from Accura manually, stage the data in Infor's migration format, and load through the migration utility while flagging any print-industry-specific data that lacks a direct Infor equivalent. We do not migrate Accura's job files, proofs, or attachments; we document file locations for manual retrieval. We do not migrate Accura's custom workflow configurations; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild using Infor's configuration tools or partner consulting.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Accura object lands in Infor CloudSuite Corporate, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Accura
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer / Business Partner
1:1Accura Customer records with billing and shipping contact details map to Infor CloudSuite Customer (or Business Partner in CloudSuite Industrial). We extract customer name, address, contact person, phone, email, payment terms, and credit limits from the Accura export. The Infor destination requires Customer AddressBook records for multi-address customers; we split single-address records into the primary address and flag multi-address customers for manual address entry in Infor forms where the migration utility does not auto-create them.
Accura
Job / Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order / Work Order
1:1Accura Jobs are the core production and billing entity carrying status, line items, pricing, and job costing. We map job number to Sales Order number or Work Order based on whether the job is quotation-stage or production-stage in Accura. Job status (estimate, in-progress, completed, invoiced) maps to Infor Order Status codes. Pricing, quantity, and description line items migrate as Order Lines with unit price and discount preserved. Print-specific job attributes (stock type, finishing, bindery) require custom field mapping or manual entry in Infor forms because Infor CloudSuite Industrial does not have native print-industry job attributes.
Accura
Inventory Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item / Item Master
1:1Accura Inventory Items with stock quantities, non-stock materials, cost basis, and reorder points map to Infor Item Master records. We flag items with negative balances or zero on-hand for customer review before migration, as Infor's inventory valuation methods (FIFO, Average, Standard) must be selected before transactions post. Cost basis from Accura maps to the Infor Item's standard cost field. Items with supplier part numbers include the vendor cross-reference in the Infor Item Supplier table.
Accura
Invoice
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR Invoice / Voucher
1:1Open and historical invoices from Accura map to Infor Accounts Receivable Invoice records for customer invoicing or AP Voucher records for vendor invoicing. We separate open invoices from paid invoices during scoping: open invoices transfer as live records requiring payment application post-migration; paid invoices transfer as read-only historical records with a paid status flag. Invoice-to-payment linking uses Accura invoice reference numbers as the matching key in Infor. Invoice PDFs are not migratable through the standard export and are flagged for manual retrieval from Accura's document storage.
Accura
Vendor
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Vendor / Supplier
1:1Accura Vendor records with contact info, payment terms, and supplier part numbers map to Infor CloudSuite Vendor records. Duplicate-name handling in Infor must be reviewed during scoping because Infor enforces unique vendor names by default. We carry the vendor's terms (Net 30, Net 60) into Infor's Vendor Terms code assignment. Vendor invoices in Accura are separate from vendor master records and are handled under the Invoice mapping above.
Accura
User
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
User
1:1Accura named user accounts with role and department assignments map to Infor CloudSuite User records. User passwords do not transfer and require manual reset in Infor post-migration. We inventory active versus inactive Accura user accounts during scoping and flag seats that should not be provisioned in Infor to avoid over-licensing. Role and department assignments map to Infor's security model (Plant, Warehouse, Company, and Business Group restrictions) which differs structurally from Accura's role model.
Accura
Custom Field
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Extended Field / User-Defined Field
1:1Custom fields added to any Accura object (Customer, Job, Item, Invoice) are exported as additional columns in the CSV and carried into Infor CloudSuite as extended fields. We pre-create the destination field definitions in Infor before migration begins, using Infor's user-defined field capabilities or custom fields on the relevant form. Fields with no matching target field are flagged in the discovery report for customer decision: configure a new Infor field or resolve the data in Accura before export.
Accura
Quote / Estimate
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Quote
1:1Accura quotes and estimates with line items and pricing map to Infor CloudSuite Quote records. We distinguish quotes by status: open quotes migrate as active Quote records; expired or superseded quotes migrate as historical records with a closed status flag. Quote validity dates and expiration logic from Accura are preserved in Infor Quote custom fields or notes for the sales team to re-enter in Infor's quote workflow.
Accura
Purchase Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Accura purchase orders for materials procurement map to Infor CloudSuite Purchase Orders. Open POs transfer as live records requiring receiving and invoice matching post-migration; closed POs transfer as historical read-only records. PO line items map to Infor POLines with item number, quantity, unit, and cost. We resolve the Infor Vendor reference from the Vendor mapping before PO records load.
Accura
Attachment / Document
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
File Storage (manual retrieval)
1:1Job files, proofs, artwork, and documents stored within Accura are not accessible via the standard CSV export. We document the file locations and naming conventions used in Accura's document storage structure so the customer can retrieve them manually or through a bulk file transfer with vendor assistance. Infor CloudSuite's document management capabilities are available post-migration for uploading these files to the migrated records. This step is not automated as part of the data migration scope.
Accura
Price List
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Price List / Price Book
1:1Accura price lists for materials and services map to Infor CloudSuite Price Lists. We map unit prices by item number, with effective date and expiration date preserved. Price list assignment to customers (standard pricing, customer-specific pricing) maps to Infor's Customer Price Group or Item Price List configurations. Discount matrices in Accura are represented as manual configurations in Infor pricing forms or carried as custom fields for administrative review.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export planning
We audit Accura across data volumes (Customers, Jobs, Inventory, Invoices, Vendors, Users), custom field usage, attachment and document storage locations, and any existing integrations or custom database tables. We inventory active versus inactive user accounts for license reconciliation and assess historical data scope. The discovery output is a written export plan specifying CSV batch sizes, export sequence, and a data quality report flagging duplicate names, missing fields, and negative inventory balances requiring customer review before export proceeds.
CSV export coordination
We coordinate with the customer or Accura vendor contact to generate CSV exports in the sequence required by Infor's migration utility: master data (Customers, Vendors, Items) before transactional data (Orders, Invoices, POs). Each export is validated against the discovery inventory for completeness and field coverage. Exports are staged in a secure migration workspace for transformation and mapping work. This phase is the longest variable in Accura migrations because it depends on in-application export capabilities and vendor availability.
Schema mapping and transformation
We map Accura field names and data types to Infor CloudSuite schema equivalents, applying data type conversions (date formats, numeric precision, address parsing) and building lookup resolution for foreign keys (Customer on Order, Item on Order Line, Vendor on PO). Custom fields are carried as additional columns with destination field definitions pre-created in the Infor test environment. The transformation output is a field-level mapping document reviewed with the customer before any Infor load begins.
Infor migration database staging
We stage the transformed data in Infor CloudSuite's migration database using the Infor Migration Utility. This utility requires data to be entered in sequential order due to data dependencies (customer and vendor codes before orders, items before order lines). We coordinate with the Infor implementation team or partner to ensure the migration database is provisioned and the import sequences are configured. Preliminary data transfers are run and reconciled before the final transfer to the production environment.
Sandbox validation and reconciliation
We run a full migration into an Infor test or sandbox environment using production-like data volumes. The customer's operations team reconciles record counts, spot-checks field mappings for 25-50 random records, and validates that print-industry attributes are accessible in the configured Infor fields. Any mapping corrections, missing fields, or data quality issues are resolved in the staging phase before production migration begins.
Production cutover and file inventory handoff
We freeze Accura writes during the cutover window, run a final delta export of any records modified during the migration process, and load the complete dataset through the Infor migration utility into production. We deliver the attachment and document location inventory to the customer for manual retrieval from Accura storage. We deliver the custom field configuration summary and print-industry workflow inventory for the customer's Infor implementation team or partner to complete post-migration. We provide a two-week hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues raised during the first production billing and order cycles.
