Overview
Moving from Alpha-E GSoft-POS to Infor Cloudsuite is a cross-architecture migration from a Gujarat-based on-premise POS and ERP suite into a cloud-native, industry-specific ERP platform. GSoft-POS stores Items with barcode and size/color variant support, Customers and Vendors with GSTIN annotations, GST-compliant Invoices, and chain store branch data across separate tables with no single export mechanism. Infor Cloudsuite organizes data around Products (Item), Business Partners (Customer and Supplier), Distribution Orders, and Financial Ledgers with multi-company and multi-site capabilities. We extract directly from the GSoft-POS database using read credentials and SQL queries scoped per object, then transform and load through Infor's APIs. Workflow configurations, promo schemes, loyalty schemes, and custom GSoft-POS screen layouts do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's implementation team to configure in Infor.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Alpha-E GSoft-POS 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.
Alpha-E GSoft-POS
Items
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Product2
1:1GSoft-POS Items with barcode, SKU, MRP, size, and color variant fields map to Infor Product records. The GSoft-POS barcode string becomes the Infor Product ItemCode or a mapped alt-id field. Size/color variants in GSoft-POS map to Infor Product attribute dimensions (Color, Size, Style) under the parent Item. We flag any MRP values that exceed the Infor price list ceiling for Indian retail compliance. Barcode format reclassification (EAN-13, UPC-A, GS1 prefix) is documented in the mapping notes for the customer's admin to verify before production import.
Alpha-E GSoft-POS
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Customer)
1:1GSoft-POS Customer records map to Infor Business Partner records with Role = Customer. The GSoft-POS GSTIN field maps to Infor's Tax Registration ID (GSTIN) on the BP. Outstanding balance from GSoft-POS becomes the Infor BP open balance at migration date. Customer addresses and contact persons map to Infor BP Address and Contact person structures. We preserve the GSoft-POS Customer Code as the Infor BP Reference field for cross-system reconciliation.
Alpha-E GSoft-POS
Vendor
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Supplier)
1:1GSoft-POS Vendor records map to Infor Business Partner records with Role = Supplier. GSTIN, payment terms, and contact information transfer directly. Vendor outstanding balance (amount payable) maps to the Infor BP open balance on the liability side. We flag any GSoft-POS vendor records with duplicate GSTINs against Customer records for deduplication before import.
Alpha-E GSoft-POS
Sales Invoice
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Distribution Order (Sales)
1:1GSoft-POS Sales Invoices with item-level detail, tax breakup, GSTIN of counterparty, and payment status map to Infor Distribution Orders. Each invoice line becomes a Distribution Order Line with the Product reference, quantity, rate, and tax code resolved. GSTIN of the customer party maps to the Infor BP Tax Registration field. We extract invoice-to-payment linkage data and create corresponding Infor AR (Accounts Receivable) entries. Note that GST filing status does not transfer; the customer must re-file GSTR-1, GSTR-2, and GSTR-3B directly in the GST portal post-migration.
Alpha-E GSoft-POS
Purchase Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Distribution Order (Purchase)
1:1GSoft-POS Purchase Orders map to Infor Distribution Orders (Purchase). Vendor reference, items ordered, quantities, rates, and taxes transfer directly. Pending versus received quantities in GSoft-POS are preserved as Infor Distribution Order line statuses. We map GSoft-POS PO numbering to the Infor Order Reference field for cross-system audit trails.
Alpha-E GSoft-POS
Receipt Voucher / Payment
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR/AP Payment Records
1:1GSoft-POS payment records linking invoices to cash or bank receipts map to Infor AR and AP payment entries. Field naming between GSoft-POS payment types (Cash, Bank, Credit) and Infor payment terms varies; we map by amount, invoice reference number, and payment date as the primary reconciliation keys. Payment mode from GSoft-POS maps to Infor Payment Method codes (Cash, Check, EFT).
Alpha-E GSoft-POS
Chain Store Branch
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Site / Company Structure
1:manyGSoft-POS chain store branch data is dispersed across branch-level tables with no single export. We write branch-specific extraction queries, consolidate branch-wise sales, stock, and financial data into a unified dataset, and map each branch to an Infor Site code within the multi-company structure. We flag which records belong to which branch in the Infor Site reference field. The central GSoft-POS ledger reconciles to the Infor parent company financial structure at migration cutover.
Alpha-E GSoft-POS
Loyalty Member
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
BP Loyalty Attribute or CRM Module
1:1GSoft-POS loyalty scheme records track member ID, points balance, and redemption history. Custom loyalty field structures in GSoft-POS require field-by-field mapping to Infor CRM loyalty attributes or a custom loyalty module depending on the Infor CloudSuite edition deployed. Points balance at migration date is preserved as the opening balance in Infor. Redemption history migrates as a separate transaction log for the customer's admin to reconcile against the new loyalty engine.
Alpha-E GSoft-POS
GST Reports (GSTR-1, GSTR-2, GSTR-3B)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
India GST Localization Data
1:1GSTR filings are India-specific transactional summaries that do not transfer as filing records. We extract the underlying invoice data that feeds these reports from GSoft-POS and deliver it as a structured dataset for import into Infor's India GST localization module. The customer must configure the GST filing workflow in Infor and re-file GSTR-1, GSTR-2, and GSTR-3B directly in the government GST portal post-migration. We provide a line-by-line reconciliation report comparing GSoft-POS invoice totals to the GST portal data for the customer's tax team to validate.
Alpha-E GSoft-POS
Financial Ledgers
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Financial Ledger / Chart of Accounts
1:1GSoft-POS chart of accounts, ledger balances, and trial balance transfer to Infor Financial Management. Opening balance dates and year-closing conventions differ between systems; we reconcile the opening balance at the point of transition to avoid double-counting revenue or inventory. GSoft-POS fiscal year boundaries map to Infor accounting periods, with carry-forward entries created as Infor opening balance journals for the new fiscal year.
Alpha-E GSoft-POS
Promo / Gift Voucher / Coupon
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Pricing and Promotion Configuration
lossyGSoft-POS happy-hour promo schemes, gift voucher balances, and coupon codes are custom promotional configurations that do not migrate as data records. We inventory every active promo, voucher, and coupon scheme in GSoft-POS with its trigger conditions, discount rules, validity period, and redemption history, and deliver this as a written configuration guide for the customer's Infor implementation team to rebuild in Infor's pricing and promotion engine.

REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and database access provisioning
We audit the GSoft-POS database schema across all modules in scope (Items, Customers, Vendors, Invoices, Purchase Orders, Payments, Chain Store Branches, Loyalty, Financial Ledgers). We document the GSoft-POS fiscal year structure, GSTIN annotations, barcode format, variant schema, and any custom fields beyond the standard schema. We require the customer to provide read credentials to the on-premise GSoft-POS database and a full backup before scoping begins. Discovery output is a written migration scope document and an extraction query plan per object.
Source data extraction and profiling
We run GSoft-POS extraction queries per object, capturing all records within the agreed migration window. Branch-specific queries consolidate chain store data across all locations. We profile data quality: missing GSTINs, duplicate Customer-Vendor GSTINs, invalid barcode formats, and fiscal year boundary records are flagged in a data quality report. The customer reviews the data quality report and decides on cleansing actions (correct, delete, or preserve as-is with a known-data-quality flag). Extraction runs on a staging environment, not production, to avoid impacting GSoft-POS performance during business hours.
Infor CloudSuite schema design and multi-site configuration
We design the Infor CloudSuite destination schema including Product structure (with variant attributes for size and color), Business Partner records (Customer and Supplier roles with GSTIN), Distribution Order templates for sales and purchase flows, and the multi-site hierarchy for chain store locations. We configure Infor's India GST localization module with the correct GSTIN validation rules. Schema is deployed into a Infor CloudSuite test environment for validation before production migration begins.
Transformation and GST invoice reconciliation
We transform GSoft-POS records into Infor CloudSuite format: Items to Products with barcode and variant attributes, Customers and Vendors to Business Partners with GSTIN, Invoices to Distribution Orders with tax codes resolved. We apply GSTIN format validation and flag any GSTIN mismatches between GSoft-POS and the GST portal. For each fiscal year boundary, we create Infor opening balance journals. We generate a GST invoice reconciliation report comparing GSoft-POS invoice totals by filing period to the extracted data for the customer's tax team to validate before GSTR re-filing.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Infor CloudSuite test environment using production-like data volume. The customer's implementation team reconciles record counts (Products in, Business Partners in, Distribution Orders in, Financial balances in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the GSoft-POS source, and validates the chain store branch mapping to Infor Site codes. Any mapping corrections, GSTIN format issues, or variant schema mismatches are resolved here. Sign-off from the customer's implementation lead is required before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Products (from GSoft-POS Items), Business Partners (Customers and Vendors with GSTIN), Financial opening balances (by fiscal year), Distribution Orders for Purchase, Distribution Orders for Sales, Payment records (AR and AP), Chain Store branch data (mapped to Infor Site codes), Loyalty member balances. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. GSoft-POS write access is suspended during the production migration window.
Cutover, delta migration, and promo handoff
We run a final delta migration of any records created or modified in GSoft-POS during the migration window. We deliver the Promo and Loyalty scheme inventory document to the customer's Infor implementation team for rebuild in Infor's pricing and promotion engine. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild GSoft-POS promo schemes as Infor pricing rules inside the migration scope; that is a separate configuration task for the Infor implementation team.
