Overview
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP WorkWise Edition organizes its 45 applications around role-based WorkBenches for production scheduling, inventory management, quality control, financial management, and CRM. WorkWise stores inventory valuation at the item level, production orders with material assignments and operation routing, and BOMs with formula versioning. Acumatica exposes data through a REST/OData API with endpoints for StockItems, NonStockItems, Customers, Vendors, BillsOfMaterials, ProductionOrders, APInvoices, ARInvoices, Employees, and JournalTransactions. We map WorkWise inventory items to Acumatica StockItems or NonStockItems by item type, preserve production order sequences as ManufacturingOrder records with sub-items for materials and operations, migrate the chart of accounts structure, and surface custom fields requiring destination-side UDF creation. Workflows, approval matrices, and automation rules do not migrate — those must be rebuilt using Acumatica's Screen-Based Workflows, Business Events, and PowerBI integrations. We sequence the migration so foreign keys (customer IDs, vendor IDs, item IDs) resolve correctly before transactional records land, and we run a sample migration with field-level diff before the full commit.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition object lands in Acumatica, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Item Master (Inventory)
Acumatica
StockItem / NonStockItem
1:1WorkWise inventory items carry item type, unit of measure, cost layer, and warehouse location in a single record. Acumatica splits these into StockItem (tracked) and NonStockItem (non-tracked) entities with separate Cost Management and Warehouse Management sub-records. The mapping identifies item type from WorkWise's item_class field to route each record to the correct Acumatica entity.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Bill of Materials
Acumatica
BillOfMaterials + BOMVersion
1:1WorkWise BOMs support formula versioning with date-based effectivity and multi-level structures. Acumatica models BOMs as BillOfMaterials with nested MaterialDetails and OperationDetails plus separate BOMVersion records for active/revision control. Multi-level BOMs decompose into parent BOM with linked child BOM references. We preserve the effective date and revision code on each BOMVersion.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Production Order
Acumatica
ProductionOrder + MaterialAllocation + OperationDetail
1:1WorkWise production orders bundle material requirements and operation steps in a single record with step-sequence ordering. Acumatica separates these into a parent ProductionOrder and child MaterialAllocation (for components) and OperationDetail (for routing steps) records. We extract WorkWise operation sequences, labor estimates, and work-center assignments into the Acumatica operations model.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Customer / AR Customer
Acumatica
Customer
1:1WorkWise customer records map directly to Acumatica Customer with fields for account number, name, credit limit, payment terms, and tax zone. Open AR invoices on the WorkWise customer link to Acumatica ARInvoice records by invoice number. Customer addresses migrate to the Customer's address collection with primary-flag preservation.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Vendor / AP Vendor
Acumatica
Vendor
1:1WorkWise vendor records map to Acumatica Vendor with account number, name, payment terms, and AP tax zone. Open AP invoices migrate as Acumatica APInvoice records. Remit-to addresses from WorkWise vendor records populate the Vendor's address collection with type classification.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Purchase Order
Acumatica
PurchaseOrder
1:1Open WorkWise purchase orders migrate as Acumatica PurchaseOrder records with line items, quantities ordered, and unit costs. Status mapping follows: Released → Open, Pending → Draft. Closed and completed POs are not migrated as transactional history; their financial impact is reflected in AP balance transfers.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Sales Order
Acumatica
SalesOrder
1:1Open WorkWise sales orders migrate as Acumatica SalesOrder records with order type, customer reference, line items, and ship dates. Released orders map to Open status; held orders map to On Hold. Completed and invoiced orders transfer their invoice history rather than the order record itself.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Chart of Accounts
Acumatica
Account
1:1WorkWise GL accounts map directly to Acumatica Account by account code. Sub-account structure in WorkWise maps to Acumatica's Subaccount dimension if the destination uses segmented chart of accounts. Account type (Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, Expense) and active/inactive flag are preserved. We flag any Acumatica reserved account codes that conflict with WorkWise numbering.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Journal Entry / GL Transaction
Acumatica
JournalTransaction
1:1WorkWise general journal entries migrate as Acumatica JournalTransaction records with posting date, batch reference, account/amount lines, and description. Year-end closing entries are migrated as adjusting entries only if the destination's fiscal year is open. We preserve original entry references for audit trail continuity.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Employee
Acumatica
Employee
1:1WorkWise employee records map to Acumatica Employee with employee ID, name, department, labor rate, and employment status. WorkWise work-center assignments and pay-group classifications map to Acumatica Labor item associations. We resolve employee email against Acumatica user accounts for owner resolution on migrated records.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Work Order Routing / Operation
Acumatica
OperationDetail (on ProductionOrder)
1:1WorkWise operation steps on production orders map to Acumatica OperationDetail records with work-center ID, setup time, run time, and sequence number. Overlap percentages and move times from WorkWise routing steps are stored on the OperationDetail. Work-center master data from WorkWise must exist in Acumatica before routing migration.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Lot / Serial Number
Acumatica
LotSerialNumber
1:1WorkWise lot and serial number tracking for inventory items migrates to Acumatica LotSerialNumber records linked to inventory transactions. Lot attributes (expiration date, origin date, custom lot fields) map to Acumatica LotSerialAttribute fields. Active lots on open production orders are migrated with their allocation relationships preserved.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Quality Test Result
Acumatica
InspectionAttribute (Custom)
1:1WorkWise quality testing records attached to production orders or inventory receipts require custom Acumatica inspection templates if destination uses Quality Management. We migrate test result values and pass/fail flags as InspectionAttribute records; the inspection template schema must be configured in Acumatica before migration inserts.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
Quote / Sales Quote
Acumatica
Quote
1:1Open WorkWise sales quotes migrate as Acumatica Quote records with expiration date, line items, and status. Quote-to-order conversion history is preserved as a QuoteNote reference. Expired quotes are not migrated unless flagged as active for reactivation.
Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition
User-Defined Fields (Custom Properties)
Acumatica
Custom Fields (UDF)
1:1WorkWise UDFs on any standard table (Item, Customer, Production Order, etc.) require Acumatica custom field creation before data migration. We export the UDF schema, generate an Acumatica customization project XML for pre-migration deployment, then migrate values once the custom fields are active. Data-type mapping (text, numeric, date, pick-list) follows Acumatica field-type equivalents.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Profile WorkWise data export and Acumatica target schema
We connect to your WorkWise environment via API (cloud) or receive a database export (on-premises), profile the schema across all 45 WorkWise modules, and inventory record counts per entity. Simultaneously, we review your Acumatica tenant structure — companies, branches, warehouse locations, and work-center definitions. We deliver a Data Profiling Report listing each entity's row count, data quality flags (duplicate items, missing customer addresses, null required fields), and the Acumatica entities each WorkWise object will map to. This step establishes the migration scope and identifies blockers before any data moves.
Map and validate foreign-key dependencies
ERP migrations require correct sequencing because Acumatica enforces referential integrity — StockItems must exist before ProductionOrders reference them, Customers must exist before SalesOrders link to them, and WorkCenters must exist before OperationDetails reference them. We generate a dependency graph from the WorkWise schema and sequence the migration order as: (1) Chart of Accounts + Subaccounts, (2) Warehouses + WorkCenters, (3) StockItems + NonStockItems with valuation method, (4) BillOfMaterials + BOMVersions, (5) Customers + Vendors, (6) Employees, (7) Open Purchase Orders, (8) Open Sales Orders and Quotes, (9) ProductionOrders with MaterialAllocations and OperationDetails, (10) Open AR/AP invoices, (11) Journal history. We flag any WorkWise records that reference non-existent parent records for your team to resolve.
Deploy Acumatica custom fields from WorkWise UDF schema
Before data migration begins, we deploy the UDF schema from WorkWise into Acumatica using a Customization Project. Each WorkWise user-defined field generates a corresponding Acumatica custom field (DAC extension) with matching data type and validation rules. We provide the customization package for your Acumatica admin to publish to your tenant — typically takes 30–60 minutes in a non-production instance and 2–4 hours in production depending on Acumatica's validation cycle. No UDF values migrate until the custom fields are active and validated.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of WorkWise data — typically 200–500 records covering items, customers, a BOM with three revisions, a production order, and open AR/AP invoices — migrates to Acumatica in a test run. We generate a field-level diff comparing source WorkWise values against the corresponding Acumatica field values so you can verify that: (a) item valuation methods mapped correctly, (b) BOM revision codes and effective dates are present on BOMVersion records, (c) production order material allocations link to the correct StockItem inventory IDs, and (d) customer tax zones and payment terms transferred. You approve the sample diff before we commit to the full migration run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback readiness
The full migration runs against Acumatica using the sequenced import plan. During the cutover window — the period between the migration snapshot and your go-live date — any new records created in WorkWise (new orders, updated inventory counts, incoming shipments) are captured via a delta export and applied to Acumatica within 24–48 hours. We maintain a complete audit log of every record inserted, updated, or skipped. If reconciliation against your WorkWise trial balance reveals a discrepancy, one-click rollback reverts the Acumatica environment to its pre-migration state so your team can investigate and re-run.
