Migrate from Aptean Industrial Manufacturing ERP, WorkWise Edition to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

WorkWise Customer records carrying contact details, accounts receivable balances, and backlog references map directly to Infor Cloudsuite Customer (Party + Account). We use the WorkWise IM_Customer.CustomerID as the dedupe key during import and preserve AR balance for reconciliation in the destination system. Customer accounts are committed before any related Sales Order import so that the parent-party lookup is satisfied at the moment of insert.

WorkWise Vendor master records include purchasing terms, AP balances, and lead times used in MRP. We map IM_Vendor to Infor Supplier (Party + Account role = Supplier) and preserve the supply-side PO references. Any open purchase orders referencing these vendors require PO receipt reopening against the imported PO identifiers post-migration. Lead times are stored on the Supplier record for MRP consumption.

WorkWise Items carry complex attributes: stocking policies, stocking UOM vs. purchasing UOM, cost layers, revision control, and ECN-effective date fields. We handle unit-of-measure conversions during transform and flag any ECN-effective items for BOM-specific revision handling. The ECN affectivity date fields (IM_ItemRevision.EffectiveDate) are evaluated at migration time to determine which revision is current; we migrate the active-effective revision into Infor's Item Revision structure. Stocking flags and Min/Max/Multiple parameters transfer to Infor's replenishment rules.

WorkWise Sales Orders reference back to Customers and forward to Work Orders, with line-level pricing, promised dates, and status. Open orders transfer with current statuses; historical closed orders are migrated to an archive table or Infor reporting schema as agreed during scoping. We resolve the CustomerId lookup and flag any Sales Order lines that reference Work Orders not yet committed, sequencing those Work Order imports to precede the Sales Order delta.

Open POs in WorkWise carry vendor commitments and expected receipt dates. We map WO_PurchaseOrder line items to Infor Purchase Order lines, but destination-side receipt records (receipt transactions, warehouse receiving) must be reopened against the imported PO identifiers post-migration. Closed and history POs are migrated as records only; their receipt history is flagged as reference data for Infor reporting.

WorkWise Work Orders tie to BOMs, Routings, and Work Centers, tracking planned vs. actual cost and completion status. We transfer open Work Orders with their costing layers and BOM/Routing references resolved at migration time. Any downstream closed records that were not fully costed are flagged for manual Infor-side reconciliation. Work Order status is mapped from WorkWise's WO_Status codes to Infor's Production Order lifecycle states (Released, In Process, Completed, Closed).

Multi-level BOMs with revision control and ECN affectivity dates must be exploded and validated in Infor before parent-component relationships are committed. Parent-component relationships require careful sequencing to avoid orphan components: we first migrate all Item records (the component universe), then BOM headers, then BOM lines in order of BOM depth level. We evaluate ECN affectivity dates at migration time and load the current-effective revision as the Infor BOM Revision unless the customer specifies full revision history migration.

WorkWise Routings define the sequence of operations, work centers, and standard times used in scheduling. We map routing operations to Infor Routing Operations with work center references resolved against the Work Center master data (committed before routing load). Standard time and queue/burst times transfer to Infor's operation duration fields. Destination-specific scheduling logic (finite vs. infinite capacity scheduling) is configured in Infor OS after migration.

WorkWise Work Centers carry capacity, calendars, and cost rates used in CRP calculations. We transfer Work Center definitions and their calendar schedules to Infor Work Center with capacity-per-hour and efficiency factors. CRP capacity recomputation must be triggered in Infor CloudSuite Industrial post-migration to reflect the migrated production load against the imported calendar and capacity data.

WorkWise supports unlimited locations and bins. We preserve the full location-bin hierarchy and on-hand quantities, including any negative-on-hand or consignment flags, and recalculate available-to-promise in Infor after commit. Location structures are mapped to Infor's warehouse-location hierarchy, and any bin-level lot/serial traceability is preserved on the inventory transaction records.

WorkWise Job Cost tracks planned vs. actual at Employee, Work Center, Department, Labor/Operation, and Component Material levels. Multi-level Work Orders aggregate cost across the full tree. We transfer the cost ledger entries with their Work Order and Work Center references. Destination-side job cost reports will reflect the moment-in-time migrated values, not live recalculations; we flag this for the customer's Infor administrator and advise running a cost rollup in Infor post-migration to reconcile against source totals.

Quality management in WorkWise stores inspection results, compliance alerts, and traceability links to lots and Work Orders. We map inspection records and preserve the traceability chain to Infor Quality Management. Destination-specific quality workflows, alert routing rules, and compliance templates require Infor-side configuration post-migration; we deliver a quality-object inventory document during handoff.
