Overview
Moving from Adaptive to Infor CloudSuite is a cross-platform ERP migration that requires careful sequencing of master data before transactional data can be loaded. Adaptive stores its ERP objects in a relational SQL schema with versioned ledgers and multi-currency support, while Infor CloudSuite uses industry-specific database tables that demand a strict import sequence enforced through its Migration Utility or ION APIs. We extract from the Adaptive database directly, cleanse multi-currency balances, reassign fiscal periods where the destination calendar differs, and maintain the parent-record lookup resolution that Infor CloudSuite requires before child records can be inserted. Custom field extensions and workflow-specific metadata that exist in Adaptive do not have a documented Infor CloudSuite equivalent; we flag these for manual post-migration configuration and deliver a written inventory of every such object so the customer can rebuild them in Infor CloudSuite's Mongoose or Infor OS environment. Infor CloudSuite's quarterly update cadence and AWS-hosted multi-tenant architecture mean the destination schema can shift between scoping and production cutover; we freeze the destination schema version at migration kickoff to prevent a moving-target import.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Adaptive 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.
Adaptive
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer / Account
1:1Adaptive Customer records (name, address, contact details, tax ID) map to Infor CloudSuite Customer or Account records depending on the Infor edition in use. The Infor Migration Utility maps external Customer tables to the corresponding CloudSuite target table (for example, in M3-based CloudSuite editions the party model uses MITMAS-style records). We preserve linked addresses as child records with a reference to the parent Customer. Any Adaptive tax registration numbers map to the relevant tax registration fields in Infor CloudSuite, which vary by industry edition.
Adaptive
Supplier
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier / Vendor
1:1Adaptive Supplier records mirror Customer records structurally and map to Infor CloudSuite Vendor or Supplier records. Payment terms and bank details migrate as address and bank-account child records. The Infor CloudSuite migration database requires Vendor records to be present before Purchase Orders and AP vouchers are imported, so Supplier migration must complete in the master-data phase before transactional import begins.
Adaptive
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Account
1:1Adaptive stores account codes flat with type flags. We transfer the full account structure, mapping Adaptive account type codes to Infor CloudSuite GL Account types. Infor CloudSuite editions enforce type restrictions per account group; we configure the account type mapping during the schema design phase and flag any Adaptive account types that have no direct Infor CloudSuite equivalent. Multi-segment account codes (if Adaptive uses a reporting entity structure) are flattened or re-segmented per the target Infor edition's segment definition.
Adaptive
Open Invoices (AP/AR)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AP Voucher / AR Invoice
1:1Open AP and AR documents in Adaptive are tracked as line-item records with status flags. We preserve outstanding balances by mapping the Adaptive status field to Infor CloudSuite open voucher or invoice status. Infor CloudSuite requires all AP and AR transactions to be fully posted in the source system before migration; we verify the posting completeness during the data audit phase and flag any draft or unposted documents that must be resolved before the migration window opens.
Adaptive
Historical Transactions
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Journal Entry
1:1Past journal entries carry fiscal period and date metadata from Adaptive. We flag any entries that span Infor CloudSuite's fiscal year boundaries and require period reassignment during the transform step. The migration utility requires all external transactions to be completed and posted before import; we generate a posting completeness report from Adaptive as part of the data audit. Journal entry line items preserve debit and credit amounts, account code references, and source document links.
Adaptive
Stock Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item (MITMAS / Product)
1:1Adaptive inventory items include SKU, description, unit cost, and current quantity. We transfer these to Infor CloudSuite Item records (MITMAS in M3-style editions, or Product in SyteLine-based editions). We flag BOM structures, warehouse-specific quantities, and custom item attributes that require manual entry or supplementary import. Infor CloudSuite's Migration Utility supports custom field attachments via CMS470/CMS471 forms for items, but date-type custom fields have documented limitations in the query system; we handle these with direct table inserts if needed.
Adaptive
Document
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Document Management (IDM / Content)
1:1Adaptive stores attached files as blobs or file-path references. We migrate attachments alongside their parent record and flag any files that exceed typical CloudSuite document size limits. For Infor CloudSuite environments with Infor IDM (Infor Document Management) enabled, attachments map to IDM content records with the appropriate parent entity reference. If IDM is not present, attachments are delivered as a file package with a mapping manifest for manual linking.
Adaptive
User
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
User / Employee
1:1Adaptive User accounts include name, email, and role assignments. We map active users to Infor CloudSuite User or Employee records, matching by email as the dedupe key. Inactive and archived Adaptive users are flagged for the customer's Infor administrator to provision as inactive records or to exclude based on the clean-up policy agreed during scoping. Role and permission mappings are noted in the handoff inventory; Infor CloudSuite role configuration occurs in the Mongoose interface or via Infor OS role management post-migration.
Adaptive
Custom Field Extension
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Custom Field / Extended Attribute
lossyAdaptive custom field extensions are documented during discovery and mapped to Infor CloudSuite custom fields where equivalents exist. Infor CloudSuite supports custom fields via the CMS470/CMS471 form pair for items, suppliers, and related entities. Custom fields with date data types cannot be queried using Infor's SearchCustomFields script; we handle these with direct table inserts or manual post-migration entry. Any Adaptive custom field that has no Infor CloudSuite equivalent is listed in the migration handoff document with the original field name, data type, and sample values for manual configuration.
Adaptive
Multi-Currency Balance
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Currency / Exchange Rate Record
1:1Adaptive multi-currency balances are preserved by mapping the Adaptive currency code to the corresponding Infor CloudSuite currency entity, and by migrating the transaction-level exchange rate as a reference attribute. Infor CloudSuite's currency model requires an active exchange rate table entry for each currency used; we verify or insert the required currency setup records before importing transaction data. Balances are transferred at the Adaptive transaction rate, and revaluation is flagged as a post-migration step using Infor CloudSuite's native revaluation routine.

Migration approach
Discovery and platform edition confirmation
We audit the Adaptive environment including database schema, custom tables, active user count, multi-currency configuration, fiscal year setup, and the list of custom field extensions. We pair this with confirmation of the target Infor CloudSuite edition (Industrial, LN, M3, or industry-specific) since the import table mappings differ by edition. The discovery output is a written migration scope document covering every Adaptive entity to be migrated, the target Infor CloudSuite table equivalents, and a list of custom fields requiring manual post-migration configuration. We also request SQL Server read access to the Adaptive database at this stage; if unavailable, we scope a four-week contingency for bespoke ETL pipeline development.
Schema design and import parameter configuration
We design the Infor CloudSuite migration database schema, specifying import source tables (from Adaptive), import target tables (Infor CloudSuite entities), and the import step sequence. Infor CloudSuite enforces a strict ordering: Customers and Suppliers before AP/AR, GL Accounts before Journal Entries, Items before BOMs, and so on. We configure the Import Parameters form with the Adaptive SQL Server connection details, define any non-standard source table mappings, and create import rules that handle data type transformations (date formats, currency precision, account code normalisation). This design is deployed into a CloudSuite staging environment for validation before any production data is touched.
Data extraction and cleansing
We export data from the Adaptive SQL database using the configured import source tables. During export, we run cleansing transforms including duplicate detection (based on customer/vendor account code), fiscal period reassignment for journal entries that span Infor CloudSuite fiscal year boundaries, multi-currency amount normalisation, and null-value handling for optional fields that Infor CloudSuite marks as required. We generate a data quality report listing duplicate candidates, missing required fields, and records with dates that fall outside the Infor CloudSuite fiscal calendar. The customer reviews and approves the data quality report before the import phase begins.
Staging migration and reconciliation
We run the full migration into the Infor CloudSuite staging environment using the configured import sequences. Each import step generates a data assessment report and a transfer log; we review these for error counts, rule creation events, and foreign key violations. We reconcile record counts (Customers in, Suppliers in, GL Accounts in, Open Invoices in, Stock Items in, Journal Entries in) against the Adaptive source counts. The customer spot-checks a sample of migrated records and signs off the staging migration before production cutover is scheduled. Any mapping corrections are made in the staging environment at this point.
Production cutover and freeze management
We coordinate a cutover window with the customer's Adaptive and Infor CloudSuite administrators. Adaptive is placed in a write-freeze state; any transactions entered during the migration window are held in a delta queue. We run the final data export from Adaptive, apply any delta records from the freeze period, and execute the Infor CloudSuite production import using the validated staging configuration. The import runs through the full sequence: master data first, then transactional data, then historical journal entries. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We validate that open AP/AR balances in Infor CloudSuite match the Adaptive cutover trial balance within the agreed tolerance.
Handoff and custom field rebuild inventory
We deliver the migration handoff package including the full data mapping document, import log summaries, data quality sign-off report, and a written inventory of every Adaptive custom field extension and undocumented data relationship that could not be migrated automatically. The inventory specifies the original Adaptive field name, data type, sample values, and recommended Infor CloudSuite configuration steps (CMS470 form entry, Mongoose customisation, or Infor OS extended attribute). We support a two-week post-cutover window to resolve any record-level reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Adaptive workflows, automations, or custom reports; these are documented for the customer's Infor administrator or implementation partner to configure post-migration.
