Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Agility ERP to Infor CloudSuite is a structured data migration scoped within a broader ERP replacement project. Agility ERP stores customers, vendors, orders, inventory, and the chart of accounts in a non-standard schema with custom extension tables for customer fields, while Infor CloudSuite uses industry-specific database tables on AWS. We extract from Agility ERP's native reporting layer and direct database reads, remap account codes against Infor CloudSuite's 36-character limit, resolve the order status vocabulary gap, and coordinate a custom fixed asset extract from Agility ERP support since no standard export path exists. Inventory cost layers require explicit mapping between Agility ERP's costing method and Infor CloudSuite's. We do not migrate workflows, automations, or report definitions; we deliver a written inventory of these for your Infor CloudSuite administrator to rebuild.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Agility ERP logo

Agility ERP

What's pushing teams away

  • Does not integrate all business processes automatically, forcing teams to track certain workflows manually outside the system and creating data silos.
  • The interface feels outdated compared to newer cloud ERPs, with limited mobile functionality and a UI that has not kept pace with modern design expectations.
  • Difficulties managing user permissions and access rights, where configuring granular role-based access requires significant admin time and often outsized IT involvement.

Choosing

Infor CloudSuite Corporate logo

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

What's pulling them in

  • Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific out of the box — manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and food & beverage editions ship with preconfigured workflows that reduce the need for extensive customization and accelerate time to value for operations-heavy organizations.
  • The platform's deep integration with Excel for financial reporting is frequently cited as a key productivity feature, allowing finance teams to pull data directly and make changes without leaving familiar tooling.
  • AWS-hosted multi-tenant deployment eliminates data center management for IT teams, and Infor OS provides a unified integration layer (ION) that connects the CloudSuite to third-party applications without point-to-point middleware.
  • Organizations with multi-site or multi-country operations choose Infor for its multicurrency, multilanguage, and local regulatory compliance capabilities across 175+ countries, which simplifies consolidation for global CFOs.
  • The two-tier ERP strategy positioning lets corporate headquarters run CloudSuite while subsidiaries run lighter instances, which appeals to complex organizational structures that want standardization without full replacement.

Object mapping

How Agility ERP objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a Agility ERP 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.

Agility ERP

Customer

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer Master (PartBrw)

1:1
Fully supported

Agility ERP customer records map to Infor CloudSuite Customer Master (PartBrw). Address, contact name, and payment terms transfer as standard fields. We use the Agility ERP customer code as the dedupe key and validate against Infor CloudSuite's 16-character code limit. Free-form address entries in Agility ERP may require normalisation before import into Infor CloudSuite's structured address schema.

Agility ERP

Vendor

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Supplier Master (SuppCode)

1:1
Fully supported

Agility ERP vendor records map to Infor CloudSuite Supplier Master (SuppCode). Remit-to addresses, tax IDs, and payment terms transfer 1:1. We check for duplicate supplier names across the import set to prevent double-creation in Infor CloudSuite. Agility ERP's vendor code must be validated against Infor CloudSuite's 16-character Supplier Code limit before import.

Agility ERP

Open Sales Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Sales Order (ShopOrder)

1:1
Fully supported

Open sales orders transfer as line items with quantity remaining and order date preserved. Agility ERP's proprietary order status vocabulary (Open, Released, Backordered) requires a customer-specific status lookup table built during discovery, because Infor CloudSuite uses its own configurable status code tables. We align Agility's Open status to Infor CloudSuite Released, and flag any Agility-specific statuses that have no Infor equivalent for manual resolution before import.

Agility ERP

Open Purchase Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Purchase Order (PoHead/PoDetail)

1:1
Fully supported

Open purchase orders follow the same status vocabulary mapping logic as sales orders. Supplier reference fields transfer for audit trail continuity. Line-level PO data migrates to Infor CloudSuite PoHead and PoDetail records with quantity-open recalculated against received and invoiced quantities in Agility ERP at cutover time.

Agility ERP

Inventory Item

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item Master (ItemMaster)

1:1
Fully supported

Inventory items carry cost layer data (average, FIFO, or lot cost) that requires explicit mapping to Infor CloudSuite's costing method configuration. Stock on hand and reorder point values transfer but may require re-evaluation in Infor CloudSuite's multi-warehouse context. We map Agility ERP warehouse or location codes to Infor CloudSuite warehouse codes, and flag any Agility-specific cost layers that do not map cleanly to Infor's standard costing setup.

Agility ERP

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Account Master (COA)

1:1
Mapping required

Account codes, descriptions, and classification (asset, liability, expense, revenue) transfer to Infor CloudSuite Account Master (COA). Agility ERP account codes exceeding Infor CloudSuite's 36-character limit are flagged and renumbered during scoping. We deliver a GL code mapping table alongside the migrated chart of accounts so that all downstream journal entries reference the correct new account codes.

Agility ERP

Fixed Asset

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Fixed Asset (FixedAsset)

lossy
Fully supported

Fixed asset records are not accessible via the Agility ERP standard export layer. Customers with a non-zero fixed asset balance require a custom database extract from Agility ERP support, which adds lead time and may require a separate professional services engagement. We flag any customer with active depreciation schedules during scoping, coordinate the custom extract before the migration window, and map the asset register and depreciation schedules to Infor CloudSuite FixedAsset module after the COA is established.

Agility ERP

Journal Entry

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

GL Journal Entry (GBL_JournalEntry)

1:1
Fully supported

Historical journal entries transfer as Infor CloudSuite GBL_JournalEntry records with line detail. Entries containing embedded account IDs from Agility ERP's legacy chart of accounts are flagged and remapped to the new COA before loading. Journal entry dates and amounts transfer; entry descriptions map to the memo field. We do not migrate audit history attachments stored outside the journal record.

Agility ERP

Custom Field (extension table)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

User-Defined Field or User Table Column

lossy
Fully supported

Agility ERP stores custom fields in a non-standard extension table. Each custom field requires field-by-field review to identify the destination in Infor CloudSuite, either as a user-defined field on the target form or as a user table column. We inventory all custom fields during scoping, document the mapping, and provision the Infor CloudSuite schema with matching user-defined fields before the import phase begins. Any Agility-specific picklist values require equivalent code table entries in Infor CloudSuite.

Agility ERP

User and Owner

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

User

1:1
Fully supported

Agility ERP users referenced on orders, quotes, and inventory records are matched by email address against Infor CloudSuite User records. Inactive or terminated Agility ERP users are mapped to inactive Infor CloudSuite Users to preserve assignment history without creating orphaned records. User provisioning in Infor CloudSuite is a prerequisite that the customer's admin completes before record migration begins.

Pair-specific challenges

  • GL account codes may exceed Infor CloudSuite's 36-character limit

    Agility ERP allows longer account code strings than Infor CloudSuite imposes. During import scoping we audit every account code against the 36-character limit and renumber any that exceed the threshold. Changed codes require a mapping table that we deliver alongside the migrated chart of accounts. Downstream journal entries reference the old codes and must be remapped using this table before loading; skipping this step produces unbalanced GL entries in Infor CloudSuite.

  • Order status vocabulary requires explicit mapping before import

    Agility ERP uses a proprietary set of order status labels that do not map directly to Infor CloudSuite's configurable status code tables. Without an explicit lookup table built during discovery, open sales and purchase orders land with incorrect or unrecognised statuses that break fulfilment workflows. We build the customer-specific status lookup during the discovery phase and validate the translated statuses in the migration database before final load.

  • Source database must be SQL Server 2008 or later

    Infor CloudSuite's migration utility requires the source database to be SQL Server 2008 or later and accessible over the network from the Infor CloudSuite migration database. If the Agility ERP instance runs on a different database platform, an intermediate SQL Server extract is required before the migration utility can connect. This adds an unplanned step if not identified during scoping.

  • Custom fields live in extension tables not standard export

    Agility ERP stores custom fields in a non-standard extension table that is not included in the standard reporting layer. Each custom field requires field-by-field review to identify the corresponding Infor CloudSuite user-defined field or user table column. Code table values in custom picklists must have equivalents created in Infor CloudSuite before import or the values are rejected. We inventory all custom fields during scoping and provision the Infor CloudSuite schema with matching user-defined fields before data load begins.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Agility ERP to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Source data audit and scoping

    We analyse the Agility ERP source database schema, export volume, and any custom extension tables. We inventory all customer and vendor records, open sales and purchase orders, inventory items, chart of accounts, journal entry volume, and fixed asset balances. We review every GL account code against Infor CloudSuite's 36-character limit, identify custom fields in the extension table, and flag any customer with non-zero fixed assets for custom extraction coordination. The output is a written migration scope and a fixed asset extraction request submitted to Agility ERP support.

  2. Target schema preparation and status mapping

    We provision the Infor CloudSuite migration database and connect it to the Agility ERP source database per Infor's migration utility requirements. We define custom table mappings for extension table fields and create code table entries for any Agility-specific order statuses and picklist values that do not exist in Infor CloudSuite. We build the order status lookup table in collaboration with the customer's functional leads so that every Agility order status lands with the correct Infor equivalent.

  3. Preliminary data assessment

    We run a preliminary data transfer using Infor CloudSuite's Data Assessment Report, which evaluates the source records and generates transformation rules for each table sequence. We review the assessment report with the customer's functional leads, who validate record counts, spot-check mapped values, and confirm that prerequisite data such as tax codes and billing codes exists in Infor CloudSuite. Any missing prerequisites are entered manually before the assessment is signed off.

  4. Phased data migration in dependency order

    We execute the import in dependency order: chart of accounts first (all other records reference it), then customer and vendor masters, then inventory items, then open purchase orders, then open sales orders. We apply the order status lookup table during the sales and purchase order phase, remap any journal entry account codes using the GL mapping table, and load fixed assets from the custom extraction after the COA is established. Each phase produces a reconciliation report showing records loaded, rejected, and held for review.

  5. Cutover and validation

    We coordinate a cutover window during which the Agility ERP team ceases posting new transactions. We run a final delta migration of any records created or modified after the preliminary migration, validate that inventory quantities match and account balances reconcile, and copy the validated migration database tables into the Infor CloudSuite production database. The customer's Infor CloudSuite functional leads validate the final dataset and sign off before go-live.

  6. Handoff documentation

    We deliver a fixed asset extraction coordination summary with the database extract layout, a GL code mapping table for any renumbered accounts, an order status translation reference, and a custom field inventory with Infor CloudSuite destination schema mapping. We do not rebuild Agility ERP workflows, automations, or report definitions in Infor CloudSuite; these are documented for the customer's Infor CloudSuite administrator to rebuild as a separate activity. We provide a one-week post-cutover reconciliation window to resolve record-level issues raised during user acceptance testing.
