Overview
Moving from Aqilla to Infor CloudSuite is a cross-architecture ERP migration. Aqilla stores financial data around container and subordinate hierarchies with 20+ analysis codes on every transaction, while Infor CloudSuite uses industry-specific data models with separate transactional and analytical structures. We extract from Aqilla via CSV exports (or the REST API if the Enterprise add-on is active), stage the data in a SQL Server database compatible with Infor's Migration Utility, and load master data in dependency order before transactional records. Inter-company journals require a separate elimination step because CloudSuite does not natively support Aqilla's cross-entity posting model. Budget formulas, workflow automations, and custom report definitions do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's implementation team to rebuild in CloudSuite's Birst or Infor OS reporting layer.
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 Aqilla 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.
Aqilla
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Chart of Accounts (COA) / Account Master
1:1Aqilla's hierarchical account structure maps to Infor CloudSuite's account master table. We preserve the account code, description, account type (P&L vs Balance Sheet), and any active/inactive status. Aqilla's analysis codes (up to 20 per transaction) map to CloudSuite dimension or cost-centre fields; if CloudSuite edition uses fewer native dimensions, we map the most-used analysis codes and flag the remainder for manual entry or extension configuration.
Aqilla
Journal Entries (Header + Lines)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
General Ledger Journal Entries
1:1Aqilla journal headers with line-level debits and credits map to CloudSuite GL journal entry records. We preserve the journal number, posting date, effective date, reference, and description. Source document references (invoice numbers, receipt numbers) are stored as journal line memo fields. Post-lock periods in Aqilla must be confirmed closed before migration so that entries land in the correct open period in CloudSuite.
Aqilla
Multi-Company and Inter-Company Journals
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inter-Company Elimination Entries (separate step)
many:1Aqilla's inter-company journals cross-reference two or more entities in a single posting. Infor CloudSuite does not natively support multi-entity inter-company posting in the same way. We decompose these into individual entity postings and generate elimination entries as a separate migration phase. We carry an entity-mapping table from Aqilla and produce elimination journal entries that zero out the inter-company balance positions post-load.
Aqilla
Customers / Accounts Receivable
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer Master / AR Records
1:1Aqilla customer records (contact details, currency settings, credit limits, tax registration) map to CloudSuite customer master data. Open AR items migrate as individual invoice records with due dates, amounts, and payment terms preserved. We flag any partial payments or credit memos for manual review in CloudSuite before finalising the AR aging report.
Aqilla
Vendors / Accounts Payable
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Vendor Master / AP Records
1:1Aqilla vendor records with multi-currency settings, payment terms, and tax codes map to CloudSuite vendor master data. Open purchase invoices and vouchers migrate as AP records with header and line detail preserved. Tax codes are mapped to CloudSuite tax codes; any Aqilla-specific tax logic (Making Tax Digital compliance) is flagged for review with the customer and their Infor implementation partner.
Aqilla
Purchase Invoices (Header + Lines)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Vouchers / AP Invoices
1:1Aqilla's container/subordinate purchase invoice structure (header with associated line rows) maps to CloudSuite purchase voucher records with line-item detail. We preserve quantity, unit price, tax code, and analysis codes on each line. The purchase invoice number becomes the voucher reference, and the posting date maps to the voucher date. Unposted invoices are flagged separately and require period-status confirmation before migration.
Aqilla
Sales Invoices
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Invoices / AR Invoices
1:1Aqilla order-to-cash invoices with line items, tax breakdown, and payment terms map to CloudSuite AR invoice records. Header and subordinate line detail is preserved. Invoice PDFs and attachments migrate as ContentDocument records linked to the invoice entity in CloudSuite where the document storage API supports it.
Aqilla
Fixed Assets
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Fixed Asset Master
1:1Aqilla fixed asset records (acquisition date, cost, depreciation method, book values) map to CloudSuite fixed asset module. We preserve depreciation schedules and flag mid-period acquisitions for period adjustment. If Aqilla uses a depreciation method not supported in CloudSuite, we document the variance and carry the net book value as the opening balance in the destination asset record.
Aqilla
Inventory Items
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Master / Inventory
1:1Aqilla inventory items with stock valuation, costing method, and on-hand quantities map to CloudSuite item master data. We migrate item definitions and current stock positions. Open purchase orders and sales commitments require separate purchase and sales order migration; these are handled as transactional records after the item master is established and validated.
Aqilla
Bank Accounts and Reconciliations
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Bank Account Master / Cash Records
1:1Aqilla bank accounts with imported transactions and cash-matching data map to CloudSuite bank account records. Reconciled and unreconciled positions carry forward; unmatched items are flagged in a reconciliation exception report for the customer's AP/AR team to resolve post-migration in CloudSuite's bank reconciliation module.
Aqilla
Users and Roles
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
User / Role Configuration
1:1Aqilla user seats (Core/Business/Pro/Enterprise) are tier-gated permission models that do not map directly to Infor CloudSuite role constructs. We extract the full user inventory with their permission scopes, map active users to CloudSuite roles and security groups, and produce a role-mapping matrix. Any Aqilla permissions that have no CloudSuite equivalent are flagged for manual configuration.
Aqilla
Attachments and Documents
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Document Management / Content Records
1:1Aqilla documents linked to transactions migrate as file attachments associated with the corresponding record in CloudSuite. We extract by transaction reference and re-associate in CloudSuite where the document management API supports it. Document types (invoices, receipts, contracts) map to CloudSuite document category or content library structures.
Aqilla
Budgets and Forecasts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Budget Versions (numeric values only)
1:1Aqilla budget data (period granularity, account association) migrates as numeric budget values attached to the corresponding account and period in CloudSuite. Budget formulas specific to Aqilla's reporting engine cannot be reconstructed in CloudSuite's formula syntax. We migrate the latest approved budget version and flag forecast models requiring rebuild in CloudSuite's budget entry or Birst planning layer.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Aqilla gotchas
API is an add-on gated behind Enterprise tier
Multi-company and inter-company journals require sequencing
User seat tiers do not directly map to destination role models
Open journal periods must be closed before final cutover
Budgets and forecast models use Aqilla-native formulas
Infor CloudSuite Corporate gotchas
Infor OS tier-based usage limits gate API and BaaS capabilities
Custom Fields use inconsistent naming across Infor editions
SQL migration utility requires source database access
Multi-site and multi-currency data require separate period closure sequencing
REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data entitlement audit
We audit the source Aqilla environment across tier (Core/Business/Pro/Enterprise), API entitlement, entity count, chart of accounts structure, analysis code inventory, transaction volumes by module, and open period status. We confirm whether REST API access is active or whether CSV export is the primary extraction method. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a record-count estimate per object, and a recommendation on whether Aqilla data should be staged via API or CSV export into a SQL Server database for CloudSuite Migration Utility compatibility.
Schema mapping and inter-company sequencing design
We design the destination schema in Infor CloudSuite including COA structure, entity configuration, dimension assignments (mapped from Aqilla analysis codes), customer and vendor master structures, and AP/AR open item mapping. We specifically design the inter-company elimination sequencing: which Aqilla inter-company journals decompose into which CloudSuite entity postings and elimination entries. We agree on the account mapping, entity mapping, and dimension priority with the customer before any data extraction begins.
Data extraction and staging
We extract data from Aqilla via REST API (if Enterprise add-on is active) or via full CSV exports from the UI. Extracted data is staged in a SQL Server database compatible with Infor's Migration Utility requirements. We apply initial transformation: currency standardisation, date format normalisation, account code harmonisation, and inter-company journal decomposition. The staged data is validated against source record counts before migration into CloudSuite begins.
CloudSuite sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a CloudSuite sandbox or staging environment using production-like data volumes. The customer's finance lead reconciles chart of accounts totals, trial balance (debits equal credits), AR aging, AP aging, and inventory on-hand quantities against the source Aqilla reports. Any mapping corrections, missing accounts, or dimension mismatches are resolved here before production migration. Inter-company eliminations are validated against the group consolidated trial balance.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in dependency sequence: chart of accounts and account types first, then entity and cost-centre dimensions, then customer and vendor masters, then fixed assets, then open AP/AR items, then inventory, then journal entries (excluding inter-company, which runs as a separate sequenced step), then inter-company elimination entries, then bank account positions, then budget values. Each phase emits a reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We coordinate the period-status freeze with the customer to ensure no late postings land in a locked period.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze writes in Aqilla during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then confirm CloudSuite as the system of record. We deliver the workflow, automation, and budget model inventory documents to the customer's Infor implementation team for rebuild in CloudSuite or Birst. We support a two-week hypercare window where we resolve any record-level reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Aqilla workflows as CloudSuite automations; that is a separate engagement.
