Overview
Moving from Actindo Core1 to Infor CloudSuite is a migration from a composable, channel-orchestration layer into a full-suite ERP on AWS. Actindo Core1 separates Material master data from Article content managed via its PIM module, and these two entities must be split during extraction and merged in Infor CloudSuite as Items with extended descriptions. Actindo's DataHub ETL layer means orders, inventory, and customer data have already been normalized from channel-specific formats — we preserve that normalization work rather than re-transform from raw source systems. We do not migrate Workflow Engine rules or POS register reconciliations as code; we deliver a written rule matrix and POS transaction mapping document for the customer's admin team to rebuild in Infor OS Workflow or the relevant operational module. CloudSuite's multi-tenant architecture prohibits direct database access, so all imports run through Infor's API or its documented migration utility with SQL Server as the staging layer.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Actindo Core1 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.
Actindo Core1
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner / Address Book Entry
1:1Actindo Core1 Customer records with configurable address, contact, and segment fields map directly to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner records. The Address Book Entry in Infor stores contact-level details. We preserve the customer segment classification and payment terms as Business Partner attributes, and resolve any duplicate customers by matching on customer code and email during the dedupe pass before insert.
Actindo Core1
Material
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item
1:1Materials in Actindo Core1 represent product catalog items with SKU, pricing, and attribute data. They map 1:1 to Infor CloudSuite Item records (Item_master and Item_warehouse tables). Unit of measure conversions, costing method, and reorder point settings migrate from Actindo Material attributes. Material variants map to Infor Item alternatives or BOM structures depending on the manufacturing configuration.
Actindo Core1
Article
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Description / Extended Text
1:manyActindo Articles extend Materials with channel-specific content, descriptions, and media managed via the PIM/Omnichannel module. These two objects have a parent-child relationship via Material SKU but are exported independently from the DataHub. We tag each Article record with its parent Material SKU during extraction, then merge the content into Infor CloudSuite Item extended text, language-specific descriptions, and Item cross-references. For multi-channel descriptions, we preserve the channel attribution as Infor Item notes or document management attachments.
Actindo Core1
Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Actindo Core1 Orders consolidate transactions from webshop, marketplace, POS, and B2B channels into a unified format. They map to Infor CloudSuite Sales Order (SFO) records. Line items map to SFO line records with product code resolved to the Infor Item number. Fulfillment status and shipment tracking migrate as order holds and delivery records. Channel attribution on each order is preserved as an Infor order attribute or custom field for reporting continuity.
Actindo Core1
Warehouse
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Warehouse
1:1Actindo Core1 Warehouse entities define stock locations with bin-level structure for inventory tracking. They map to Infor CloudSuite Warehouse records with bin location data transferred to the Infor bin structure. Multi-warehouse routing configurations from Actindo map to Infor warehouse assignment rules. Stock levels aggregate from Actindo inventory snapshots and load as opening quantities in Infor Warehouse inventory records.
Actindo Core1
Purchase Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Actindo Core1 Purchase Orders track procurement from vendors, linked to Materials and inbound receipts. They map to Infor CloudSuite Purchase Order records with PO headers and line items. Vendor-specific reference numbers and internal PO numbering schemes are preserved in Infor PO reference fields. Open PO status migrates as PO records with receipt expectations in Infor.
Actindo Core1
Vendor
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier / Business Partner (Supplier role)
1:1Actindo Core1 Vendor master records store supplier data, payment terms, and lead times. They map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner records with the Supplier role assigned. Contact information and purchasing defaults migrate to the Infor BP purchasing tab. Vendor-specific PO history is extracted as linked records for reference but not migrated as transactional history beyond the open PO scope.
Actindo Core1
Invoice
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR/AP Invoice
1:1Actindo Core1 Invoice records link to Orders and track financial postings across accounting integrations. We extract invoice data including tax codes and payment status, then normalize to Infor CloudSuite Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable invoice records. Historical paid invoices migrate to Infor as posted records if the customer requires full financial history; open invoices migrate with full detail for AR/AP reconciliation. Closed historical invoices are candidates for archiving rather than active migration depending on scope.
Actindo Core1
POS Transaction
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order with Store Location Attribute
1:1Actindo Core1 POS data includes transaction records and store cash register states synced from Venduo POS. We extract POS transactions as Infor CloudSuite Sales Orders with a store location attribute derived from the POS terminal. Register reconciliations require a separate reconciliation pass documented as a manual handoff for the customer's Infor admin. POS-specific data (register number, shift ID, tender type) migrates as order attributes rather than native Infor POS entities.
Actindo Core1
Workflow Engine
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Infor OS Workflow
lossyActindo Core1 Workflow Engine definitions encode business process logic as low-code visual flows that are not natively exportable in a standard schema. We capture screenshots and rule descriptions during extraction, build a rule-mapping matrix, and deliver it as a written document. The customer's Infor admin or implementation partner rebuilds the routing logic in Infor OS Workflow. This is a documentation handoff, not a code migration.

Actindo Core1 gotchas
Legacy ERP coupling creates dual-direction migration complexity
Custom workflow configurations require manual rule translation
Article PIM data and Material product data are separate entities
Infor CloudSuite Corporate gotchas
Infor OS tier-based usage limits gate API and BaaS capabilities
Custom Fields use inconsistent naming across Infor editions
SQL migration utility requires source database access
Multi-site and multi-currency data require separate period closure sequencing
REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Actindo source audit
We audit the Actindo Core1 environment across DataHub configurations, active modules (Orders, Materials, Articles, Warehouses, Vendors, POS), and the legacy ERP coupling. We identify which records are Actindo-primary versus ERP-primary, extract the Materials-Articles relationship map, and inventory active Workflow Engine definitions with screenshots. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a data dependency graph, and a preliminary record-count estimate for each entity type.
Infor CloudSuite Migration Utility setup
We set up the Infor CloudSuite Migration Utility environment on SQL Server (2008 or later) as the staging database. We configure Import Source Tables to connect to the Actindo export schema, define Import Target Tables to match Infor CloudSuite table schemas, and establish Import Steps with the correct dependency-ordered sequences. Unit of Measure Codes and other prerequisite reference data are sequenced first. This step requires the Infor CloudSuite database to be a new, initialized instance with the Migration Utility pack installed.
Data extraction from Actindo DataHub
We export data from Actindo Core1 via the DataHub layer or API, normalizing channel-specific order formats, aggregating inventory from multiple warehouse locations, and splitting Materials from Articles with SKU linkage preserved. POS transactions are extracted as Orders with store-location attributes. Vendor records are extracted with payment terms and lead times. Each export is written to the SQL Server staging database in a schema that matches the Infor Migration Utility's Import Source Table definitions.
Transformation and data-quality pass
We transform the extracted data to match Infor CloudSuite schema requirements. Materials and Articles are merged into unified Item records with extended descriptions. Customer records are deduped by customer code and email. Order channel attribution is preserved as Infor order attributes. Warehouse bin structures are normalized to Infor's bin-level format. A data-quality pass flags invalid addresses, missing tax codes, and orphaned records (Materials with no Article, Orders with no Customer) for customer resolution before import.
Preliminary data transfer and assessment
We run the Preliminary Data Transfer in the Infor CloudSuite Migration Utility to assess data readiness without committing to the production database. The utility generates a Data Assessment Report identifying transformation rule gaps, referential integrity failures, and data-type mismatches. We review the report with the customer, apply correction rules, and run additional preliminary transfers until the error rate is within an agreed threshold before proceeding to final transfer.
Production migration in dependency order and reconciliation
We execute the final production migration in dependency order: reference data first (units of measure, tax codes, warehouse locations), then master data (Business Partners, Items, Vendors), then transactional data (Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Invoices), then inventory quantities, then POS transaction history. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We validate record counts, spot-check field mappings, and confirm parent-record lookups are satisfied before advancing to the next phase.
Cutover, delta pass, and workflow handoff
We freeze Actindo Core1 writes during cutover, run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration window, then enable Infor CloudSuite as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow Engine rule matrix and POS transaction mapping document to the customer's Infor admin team for rebuild in Infor OS Workflow and store operations modules. We support a one-week post-go-live window for reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuild, training, and post-migration optimization are separate engagements.
