Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Adm Cloud to Epicor ERP is a structural ERP migration driven by Adm Cloud's absence of a documented public API and its LATAM-centric data model. We extract data from Adm Cloud through CSV exports (Packs tier) or direct database reads (Enterprise tier), normalize the LATAM tax and currency configurations to Epicor's equivalent regime, and load through Epicor's REST API with Bulk API fallback for high-volume objects like Journal Entries and historical transactions. Adm Cloud's modular architecture means every tenant has a different active-module set; we enumerate the live modules during discovery and scope each to its Epicor equivalent. We do not migrate Adm Cloud workflows, e-commerce module configurations, or BI report definitions as code. Epicor Automation Studio workflows and custom UD fields built on Epicor's Cloud SDK require separate configuration post-migration; we deliver a written inventory of any customizations requiring rebuild.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Adm Cloud

What's pushing teams away

  • Performance degrades at peak hours — a verified Capterra reviewer reported the system tends to slow down at certain hours of the day, suggesting server capacity constraints during regional business peaks.
  • Geographic concentration limits use outside Latin America — published country coverage spans Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago, and USA, with no European, APAC, or African footprint.
  • Pricing is sales-led with no public price list, making self-serve evaluation impossible — buyers must engage with sales for both Packs and Enterprise tiers.
  • Learning curve is non-trivial — the same Capterra reviewer noted the platform reveals its potential only after an initial onboarding period, which slows time-to-value for teams expecting modern SaaS ramp speed.
  • Limited independent review footprint — only one verified review on Capterra and very few G2 reviews make it hard for buyers to triangulate operational risks across many customer profiles before committing.

Choosing

Epicor Prophet 21 logo

Epicor Prophet 21

What's pulling them in

  • Industry-specific design for wholesale distributors, not a general-purpose ERP repurposed for distribution — distributors choose P21 because it matches their replenishment, kitting, and counter-sale workflows out of the box.
  • Strong inventory control with automated replenishment, lot and serial tracking, and multi-warehouse management appeals to distributors with complex stock requirements and tight margin pressure.
  • Responsive customer support cited across G2 and Gartner reviews, with Epicor's 90% retention rate reflecting long-term customer satisfaction in a market where switching costs are high.
  • Cloud deployment on Microsoft Azure provides the flexibility to scale user counts and warehouse locations without on-premise infrastructure investment.
  • The Software Development Kit lets distributors personalize P21 to their specific business processes without modifying the application source code, preserving upgrade paths.

Object mapping

How Adm Cloud objects map to Epicor Prophet 21

Each row shows how a Adm Cloud object lands in Epicor Prophet 21, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Adm Cloud

Customer

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

Customer (Kinetic) / ARCustomer (Eclipse)

1:1
Fully supported

Adm Cloud Customer records map to Epicor Customer or ARCustomer depending on the Epicor product line (Kinetic vs Eclipse). We preserve billing address, credit limit, payment terms, and the LATAM-specific CFDI usage field as a custom UD field in Epicor. Customer type (national, international, export) maps to Epicor's CustomerType field. We resolve the country/region code mapping from Adm Cloud's LATAM country list to Epicor's ISO-compliant country table before import.

Adm Cloud

Vendor

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

Supplier (Kinetic) / APSupplier (Eclipse)

1:1
Fully supported

Adm Cloud Vendor records map to Epicor Supplier or APSupplier. We preserve payment terms, bank account details for EFT, and any LATAM-specific RFC (Mexico) or tax ID fields as UD fields. Inactive vendors are flagged for exclusion unless the customer requests they be brought over for historical AP reference. Vendor types (domestic, import) map to Epicor's SupplierType field.

Adm Cloud

Item / Product

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

Part / Product

1:1
Fully supported

Adm Cloud Items map to Epicor Part (for inventory-stocked items) or Product (for non-stocked, order-only items). Adm Cloud's variant structure (size/color variants) maps to Epicor's Part UOM conversions and Part-specific attributes. Standard cost, last cost, and average cost layers transfer to Epicor's PartCost records. The item pricing tiers in Adm Cloud Packs map to Epicor's Price Schedules or CPQ configuration sets depending on pricing complexity.

Adm Cloud

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

GL Account

1:1
Fully supported

Adm Cloud's account tree structure maps to Epicor's GL Account hierarchy with full parent-child relationship preservation. Account codes, names, types (asset, liability, equity, revenue, expense), and active/inactive status transfer directly. Tax codes attached to accounts in Adm Cloud require explicit mapping to Epicor's Tax Zone and Tax Category configuration; this is a high-scrutiny step for LATAM migrations because SAT tax codes must map to Epicor's tax agency codes.

Adm Cloud

Open AR / Outstanding Invoices

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

AR Invoice / AR Invoice Header + Detail

1:1
Fully supported

Open AR invoices carry currency, exchange rate, aging data, and payment terms. We map Adm Cloud's invoice headers to Epicor ARInvoiceHead and line items to ARInvoiceDetail. Exchange rates are preserved from Adm Cloud's transaction-time rate; aging buckets are recalculated in Epicor using the destination company's fiscal calendar and due-date logic. CFDI UUID references from Adm Cloud invoices transfer as UD fields for Mexican statutory compliance.

Adm Cloud

Open AP / Outstanding Bills

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

AP Invoice / AP Invoice Header + Detail

1:1
Fully supported

Open AP invoices map to Epicor APInvoiceHead and APInvoiceDetail. Payment terms, vendor references, and invoice dates transfer. Foreign-currency AP invoices carry the original currency, amount, and exchange rate; Epicor recalculates the functional-currency equivalent using its configured rate logic. Vendor RFC tax IDs transfer as UD fields.

Adm Cloud

Journal Entry

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

GL Journal Entry

1:1
Fully supported

Historical journal entries are high-volume and date-sensitive. We sequence them after the chart of accounts is validated, then split by fiscal period to avoid import timeouts. Adm Cloud journal batches map to Epicor GLJrnHed (header) with individual journal lines as GLJrnDtl. Recurring journal templates in Adm Cloud are flagged for manual rebuild in Epicor's recurring journal module post-migration.

Adm Cloud

Fixed Asset

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

Fixed Asset

1:1
Fully supported

Adm Cloud fixed asset records map to Epicor FAAsset with depreciation schedules, acquisition cost, useful life, and residual value. Depreciation methods (straight-line, declining balance, units-of-production) map to Epicor's FA depreciation method codes. We flag any residual value discrepancies for customer sign-off before import because depreciation assumptions differ by jurisdiction.

Adm Cloud

Bank / Cash Account

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

Bank Account

1:1
Fully supported

Adm Cloud bank account records and current balances transfer to Epicor BankAcct. Reconciliation history maps to Epicor's bank reconciliation module if active. Multi-currency bank accounts carry both functional and foreign currency balances; we map currency codes from Adm Cloud to Epicor's ISO currency codes.

Adm Cloud

User

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

User

1:1
Fully supported

Adm Cloud user records include role, department, and module permissions. Role names and permission levels differ between Packs and Enterprise. We map Adm Cloud roles to Epicor security roles by closest-capability matching and flag any Enterprise-specific custom permissions for the customer's Epicor admin to configure post-migration. User provisioning (Active/Inactive status, email, manager hierarchy) transfers as-is with a reconciliation step to resolve any Adm Cloud users who do not have a corresponding Epicor identity.

Adm Cloud

Custom Field

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

UD Field

lossy
Fully supported

Adm Cloud custom fields on standard objects migrate to Epicor User-Defined (UD) fields on the equivalent tables. Enterprise-tier custom objects without a standard Epicor equivalent are mapped to UD tables (UD01-UD19) with their own BAQ (Business Activity Query) definitions. UD field types (character, date, number, checkbox, dropdown) are mapped to Epicor's UD field type equivalents. All UD fields are pre-created in Epicor via the Cloud SDK or REST API before data migration begins.

Adm Cloud

Document Attachment

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

Document Management / ContentDocumentLink

1:1
Fully supported

Adm Cloud binary attachments (PDFs, images) stored in the document module export as files with their parent record reference. We re-associate each file to the corresponding Epicor record via ContentDocumentLink or Epicor's DMS module depending on the Epicor edition. The link between document and parent Invoice, Customer, or Part is preserved by matching on the source record ID stored as a UD field or file metadata.

Adm Cloud

E-Commerce Order (if module active)

maps to

Epicor Prophet 21

Sales Order

1:many
Fully supported

Where the Adm Cloud e-commerce module is active, order headers map to Epicor OrderHed and line items to OrderDtl. Payment status and gateway references transfer as UD fields. If Adm Cloud e-commerce is a separate hosted storefront rather than a module, order data may live in a separate database or export; we scope this separately and map to Epicor accordingly. Payment reconciliation and gateway sync require post-migration integration rebuild.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Adm Cloud has no documented public API

    Research confirmed no publicly available Adm Cloud REST API, OAuth endpoints, or developer portal. Data extraction for Packs-tier tenants relies entirely on CSV exports generated from within the platform UI, which are subject to export-size limits and manual scheduling. Enterprise-tier tenants may have direct database read access, which enables SQL-based extraction with full schema visibility. During scoping we confirm the available extraction mechanism and adjust the migration architecture accordingly. Migrations scoped assuming API access will stall at extraction. Epicor's REST and Bulk APIs are fully documented and available for the destination load.

  • LATAM tax codes require explicit remapping

    Adm Cloud's SAT (Mexico), CFDI invoicing, and region-specific tax codes have no automatic Epicor equivalent. Epicor's tax configuration supports multi-regime setups but requires explicit mapping from each source tax code to the destination Tax Zone, Tax Category, and Tax Rate combination. Tri-currency setups (MXN/USD/COP) add exchange-rate reconciliation complexity. We extract the full Adm Cloud tax code table during discovery, build a written tax mapping matrix, and obtain explicit customer sign-off before any AP/AR or invoice data moves. Skipping this step results in incorrect tax calculations in Epicor from day one.

  • Modular configuration means no two Adm Cloud tenants are alike

    Adm Cloud's value proposition is modular configuration: base platform plus optional modules for manufacturing, logistics, human management, and e-commerce. Tenants may have 2 to 10 active modules. We enumerate all active modules during pre-migration discovery and build a module-by-module object inventory. Migrations scoped without this step routinely miss entire data sets such as e-commerce orders, manufacturing routings, or HR records that the Adm Cloud admin never surfaced. The Enterprise tier may add custom objects without standard counterparts, which we map to Epicor UD tables.

  • Epicor UD field table sync requires application pool recycle

    Epicor's Cloud ERP stores table definitions in the application layer separately from the database layer. When UD fields are added via Cloud SDK, the data model must be regenerated and the application pool recycled for the changes to propagate. For cloud customers, this requires opening a ticket with Epicor Support. We schedule UD field creation early in the migration timeline to allow for any support ticket turnaround before data load begins. AllAboutThatERP documentation on Epicor custom field synchronization confirms this requirement for cloud deployments.

  • Enterprise-tier custom objects lack standard Epicor counterparts

    Adm Cloud Enterprise tenants may have custom objects, custom workflows, and custom fields not present in Packs. These may have no direct Epicor equivalent. We discover and inventory all Enterprise-tier custom objects during scoping, map them to Epicor UD01-UD19 tables or to standard Epicor objects with UD field extensions, and flag any custom objects where no equivalent exists for the customer's admin to decide on a rebuild strategy. Workflows and custom business logic in Adm Cloud Enterprise do not migrate as code.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Adm Cloud to Epicor Prophet 21 data migration

  1. Active module enumeration and extraction mechanism confirmation

    We audit the Adm Cloud tenant to enumerate all active modules (base platform plus manufacturing, logistics, e-commerce, HR, etc.), identify the extraction mechanism (CSV UI exports for Packs, direct SQL for Enterprise), and inventory every standard and custom object per active module. This step produces a written data inventory document listing all source objects, record counts, active/inactive flags, and the confirmed extraction method per object. No migration architecture is finalized without this inventory because Adm Cloud's modular nature means no two tenants share the same schema.

  2. LATAM tax code and currency extraction and mapping design

    We extract Adm Cloud's complete tax code table including SAT/CFDI codes, tax rates, and tax-type classifications. We map each to Epicor's Tax Zone and Tax Category combination and document the mapping in a written tax matrix for customer sign-off. For tri-currency setups (MXN/USD/COP), we extract exchange rate history and configure Epicor's multi-currency settings to match. This step is a prerequisite for any AP/AR or invoice data migration because tax and currency errors propagate into every financial report.

  3. Epicor schema provisioning and UD field creation

    We create the Epicor destination schema in a Sandbox environment before production migration. This includes provisioning GL Account hierarchy, Customer and Vendor types, Part and Product records (headers without stock initially), Epicor UD fields corresponding to Adm Cloud custom fields, and Epicor UD tables for any Enterprise-tier custom objects without standard counterparts. UD fields are created via Epicor's Cloud SDK or REST API. We coordinate with Epicor Support for any application pool recycle needed to propagate UD field definitions. The schema is validated by running a dry-run import on a subset of records before production.

  4. Chart of accounts and master data migration

    We migrate Adm Cloud master data in dependency order: GL Account hierarchy first (as the foundation for all financial transactions), then Customers and Vendors, then Items/Products, then Bank Accounts, then Fixed Assets. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report comparing Adm Cloud source record count to Epicor destination record count. Any discrepancy triggers a diagnostic step before the next phase begins. Owner reconciliation for Customers and Vendors matches Adm Cloud owner references to Epicor Users by email.

  5. Open AP/AR and historical journal migration

    Open AP and AR invoices carry currency, exchange rate, aging, and CFDI UUID references. We migrate them after master data is validated using Epicor's REST API for invoice headers and line items, preserving the original transaction-time exchange rate. Historical journal entries are chunked by fiscal period to avoid import timeouts and loaded via Epicor's Bulk API with batch-size tuning. Recurring journal templates are flagged for manual rebuild in Epicor's recurring journal module post-migration.

  6. Production cutover, delta sync, and customization handoff

    We freeze Adm Cloud writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, validate Epicor GL trial balance against Adm Cloud's pre-migration trial balance, then enable Epicor as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of any Adm Cloud Enterprise custom objects, workflows, and e-commerce configurations requiring rebuild in Epicor, along with a recommended approach for each. We do not rebuild Adm Cloud workflows as Epicor Automation Studio configurations within the migration scope. We support a one-week post-cutover window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's finance and operations teams.
