Overview
Moving from Astral Manufacturing ERP to Infor Cloudsuite is a manufacturing-centric migration that requires vendor-assisted data extraction, BOM decomposition, and careful sequencing of transactional history. Astral Manufacturing ERP lacks a public API, so we negotiate direct SQL Server database read access upfront and validate schema against live data before committing to scope. We decompose multi-level Bills of Materials into Infor's structured parent-item and BOM-child records, sequence production orders by routing step, and isolate any active Tally accounting sync as a post-migration verification step. We do not migrate custom reports, workflow definitions, or HRMS compensation history; these are delivered as written inventories for your admin team to rebuild or re-enter post-migration. Master data (Customers, Vendors, Items) lands first in dependency order, followed by open AP/AR balances, then closed transactions.
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 Astral Manufacturing 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.
Astral Manufacturing ERP
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Customer)
1:1Astral Customer master records map to Infor Business Partner records with Role = Customer. We extract customer name, contact details, address structure, payment terms, and GST/TIN identifiers. The customer code from Astral becomes the Business Partner ID; the original source system reference is preserved in a custom field for audit. Where Astral stores multiple contact persons per customer, we create primary and secondary contact roles on the Business Partner address record.
Astral Manufacturing ERP
Vendor
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Supplier)
1:1Astral Vendor records map to Infor Business Partner with Role = Supplier. Vendor code, payment terms, and bank details extract as-is. Where Astral's vendor module is shared with the customer module under a single client master, we separate these by role during transformation to avoid duplicate Business Partner records in Infor. If a party appears as both customer and vendor in Astral, we create a single Business Partner with both roles enabled.
Astral Manufacturing ERP
Item (Product)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Part Master
1:1Astral Items migrate to Infor Part Master as the product catalog parent record. We map item code, description, unit of measure, item type ( manufactured vs purchased), and standard cost. The item's active/inactive status maps to the Part Master site's stocking policy. Item-specific custom fields identified during discovery migrate as extended attributes on the Part Master.
Astral Manufacturing ERP
Item BOM
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
BOM Header + BOM Line
1:manyAstral Items with BOM links decompose into Infor BOM Header records (one per manufactured item) and BOM Line records (one per component). Multi-level BOMs (sub-assemblies referencing their own BOMs) create a BOM hierarchy that Infor resolves via BOM Level and Revision fields. We validate quantity-per and scrap-percentage fields during decomposition. Phantom BOMs used for kit items map to a flagged BOM type in Infor.
Astral Manufacturing ERP
Purchase Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Astral Purchase Order header and line records map to Infor PO records. PO number, vendor reference, order date, and expected delivery date migrate. Line items resolve the Part Master reference (via item code lookup) and map quantity and unit cost. Open POs at cutover migrate as open; closed POs migrate as closed with a received-status flag. PO approval workflows in Infor are reconfigured post-migration as they are destination-specific.
Astral Manufacturing ERP
Stock / Batch Record
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inventory Lot / Serial
1:1Astral batch tracking records map to Infor Inventory Lot records with lot number, manufacture date, expiry date (if applicable), and quantity-on-hand. Warehouse and location codes from Astral map to Infor site and warehouse designations. Where Astral tracks batch-level stock at multiple sites, we create separate lot records per site. Stock-on-hand quantities are reconciled against open production orders before final import.
Astral Manufacturing ERP
Production Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Work Order
1:1Astral Production Orders map to Infor Work Orders with header fields (order number, item to manufacture, quantity, scheduled start/end) and BOM linkage to the decomposed Part Master BOM. Routing steps from Astral's production process module map to Infor Work Order Operations with work center references. Custom quality checkpoints in Astral's production process are noted as Infor QC specification attachments requiring manual redefinition in the destination.
Astral Manufacturing ERP
Sales Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Open Sales Orders from Astral migrate to Infor Sales Orders with customer reference, order date, requested date, and line items (item, quantity, price). Closed historical orders migrate as closed records with an order-status flag to prevent accidental re-processing. Order-to-invoice linkage is preserved via the original Astral order number stored as a reference field on the Infor Sales Order.
Astral Manufacturing ERP
Open AP / AR
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Payables / Receivables
1:1Astral open receivables (Payment Collection module) map to Infor AR records with customer link, invoice reference, due date, and outstanding amount. Astral open payables (Expense Management) map to Infor AP records with vendor link, invoice reference, due date, and outstanding amount. Payment history and reconciliation records do not migrate independently; they are reconstructed in Infor from the posted AP/AR transaction history post-migration.
Astral Manufacturing ERP
Invoice
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Invoice
1:1Astral invoices migrate as line-item records with tax and discount data to Infor. Invoice PDFs are identified during discovery and flagged for separate document migration handling via Infor Document Management (IDM). Invoice-to-payment linkage (whether paid or open) is preserved via the source invoice number as a reference key in Infor's payment application records.
Astral Manufacturing ERP
Quality Test
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
QC Specification / Test Result
1:1Astral Quality Test records attached to production batches migrate as Infor QC Specification lines with test type, parameter, and threshold values. Test results (pass/fail, measured values) map to Infor inspection result records linked to the Work Order. Pass/fail threshold configurations are destination-specific and must be redefined in Infor's QC setup post-migration; we deliver a written threshold mapping document as part of the handoff.
Astral Manufacturing ERP
User
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Operator
1:1Astral User Management accounts map to Infor Operator records with user ID, name, email, and role/permission structure mapped to Infor's role-based access control. Active users migrate with their current role assignments; inactive users migrate with inactive status for audit continuity. Any custom permission sets in Astral are documented and mapped to the closest Infor role for admin review.

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
Data extraction negotiation and schema snapshot
We engage the Astral Manufacturing ERP vendor to negotiate direct SQL Server database read access for migration extraction. Without this, extraction is dependent on vendor-provided exports at their schedule, which extends timeline and risk. We snapshot the source schema (tables, columns, relationships, indexes) against the production database and compare it against any prior discovery data. Any schema drift between discovery and extraction triggers a re-mapping review before migration execution begins.
Discovery and scope document
We audit the Astral database across all modules: Customer and Vendor master counts, Item catalog size and BOM depth, open and historical Purchase Orders, open and historical Sales Orders, stock batch records by site, open AP/AR balances, invoice and payment history, production order count and routing complexity, quality test record volume, and active user count. We also identify any custom fields, Tally sync configuration, and multi-site setup. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, BOM complexity classification, and a go/no-go recommendation.
Schema mapping and BOM decomposition design
We design the Infor destination schema: Business Partner records with customer and supplier roles, Part Master with item types and stocking policies, BOM headers and lines decomposed from Astral's BOM-link structure, Work Order structures with routing step mapping, and financial records (open AP/AR, invoices). Multi-level BOMs are decomposed into a flat BOM header + line structure with level indicators. We validate the mapping against a sample of 50-100 records from each table before committing to the full extract.
Dependency-ordered data extraction and staging
We extract data in dependency order from the Astral SQL database: Business Partners first (no foreign keys to resolve), then Parts and Price Lists, then BOM structures, then open balances, then open orders, then closed transactions, then historical invoices and payments. Each extract is validated against the source row count and checksummed before staging. Tally sync is flagged and suspended during the extraction window to prevent dual-entry during migration.
Infor target configuration and test migration
Before production import, we configure the Infor target environment: Business Partner types, Part Master sites and warehouses, BOM structures, Work Order types and routing templates, and financial dimensions. We run a test migration into the Infor staging environment with a subset of production data volume and reconcile record counts, field mappings, and parent-child relationships. The customer validates the staged data and signs off before production migration.
Production migration and cutover
We run the production migration in phased batches following the dependency order established in discovery. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report against the source extraction. We run a delta extraction for any records modified during the migration window, then enable Infor as the system of record. We deliver the written inventories for QC thresholds, routing step configurations, and Tally reconciliation steps. We support a one-week post-cutover reconciliation window for record-level issues.
