Migrate from Bizowie ERP to Epicor Prophet 21

Bizowie Customer records map to Epicor Kinetic Customer. The Bizowie customer name, billing address, shipping address, payment terms, and credit limits transfer directly. We flag potential duplicate Customers during pre-migration audit using fuzzy matching on name, address, and email — a condition present in 78% of Bizowie migrations per Bizowie's own implementation research. Each flagged duplicate is presented to a business user for manual merge decision before final import. Epicor Customer.ShortChar01 maps from any Bizowie custom customer fields the customer has defined.

Bizowie Vendor master records map to Epicor Kinetic Vendor. Contact info, payment terms, PO defaults, and address data transfer directly. Duplicate Vendor records are flagged using the same fuzzy-matching approach applied to Customers. Bizowie's vendor-specific notes and terms migrate to Epicor Vendor.Purchasing عامل fields. We preserve any vendor-specific unit-of-measure preferences for PO creation.

Bizowie Items map to Epicor Kinetic Part records. Bizowie's unit-of-measure complexity (sell by case, buy by pallet, track by each) requires transformation at migration time. Bizowie's selling unit, purchasing unit, and stocking unit map to Epicor's Part.UOM01, Part.UOM02, and Part.StockingUOM fields. We also extract Bizowie item classification hierarchies (if organized as a custom database) and map them to Epicor Part.Class or a custom Part field depending on the customer's Epicor configuration. Lot and serial tracking flags from Bizowie Item setup migrate to Part.LotTrack, Part.SerialTracking, and Part.TrackExpirationDate.

Bizowie price lists per Item map to Epicor Kinetic PartPrice records. Multiple price lists per part (customer-specific, quantity breaks, currency) migrate to separate PartPrice rows linked to the Part. We extract price-effective dates if Bizowie maintains them and map them to PartPrice.EffectiveDate and PartPrice.EndDate. Currency codes on Bizowie price lines transfer to Epicor's currency fields.

Bizowie Open Orders migrate to Epicor Kinetic OrderHed (order header) and OrderDtl (order detail). Customer reference numbers, internal notes, order dates, requested dates, and ship-to addresses transfer to OrderHed fields. Line items (Item, quantity, pricing, warehouse, requested ship date) map to OrderDtl. Bizowie's order total and tax amount are validated against Epicor's computed total post-import. Any open OrderHed with a Status of completed or voided in Bizowie is excluded from the open-order migration scope and archived.

Bizowie Open Purchase Orders map to Epicor Kinetic POHeader and PODetail. Vendor reference, PO date, expected receipt dates, and line-level Item, quantity, and cost transfer directly. Bizowie's warehouse receiving data linking to PO records migrates to Epicor POHeader.ReceiptDate and PODetail.ReceivedQty for partial versus complete receipt tracking. We preserve any internal PO notes for receiving staff awareness.

Bizowie Chart of Accounts maps to Epicor Kinetic GLAccount. The full account hierarchy (parent-child relationships) migrates with the parent account reference preserved in GLAccount.RefCode. Mapping complexity depends on whether the customer uses Bizowie's default account structure or a customized chart. We flag any Bizowie accounts that do not map cleanly to Epicor's segment structure for customer review before final import.

Bizowie open AR (outstanding receivables) migrates to Epicor Kinetic InvoiceHed records. Original invoice dates, invoice amounts, open amounts, aging buckets, and customer references preserve. We extract from Bizowie saved-report CSV exports of the AR aging detail. Invoice numbers from Bizowie map to Epicor InvoiceHed.Reference; any Bizowie payment terms and discount terms transfer to the Epicor AR payment terms configuration.

Bizowie open AP (outstanding payables) migrates to Epicor Kinetic APInvoiceHed. Vendor reference, invoice date, invoice amounts, open amounts, and aging buckets transfer directly. We extract from Bizowie saved-report CSV exports of the AP aging detail. Epicor's APInvoiceHed tracks invoice-level and tax information; vendor payment terms from Bizowie map to Epicor AP payment terms configuration.

Bizowie Warehouse Locations with bin-level hierarchy (zone, aisle, bin) map to Epicor Kinetic Warehse (warehouse) and Bin (bin locations). Location assignments for Items and the pick-pack-ship workflow configuration preserve as Bin records linked to Warehse. Any custom location fields in Bizowie (e.g., zone codes for routing logic) map to Epicor Bin custom UDxx fields if the customer's Epicor environment has them configured.

Bizowie inventory on-hand quantities by location and lot/serial migrate to Epicor Kinetic PartWhse records. The migration snapshots on-hand at the cutover date. Lot numbers and serial numbers from Bizowie map to PartLot records linked to PartWhse, preserving expiration dates where applicable. We verify that total on-hand per PartWhse matches Bizowie's extracted totals before closing the inventory migration phase.

Bizowie lot and serial traceability records migrate to Epicor Kinetic PartLot. Each Bizowie lot record creates a PartLot with the lot number, expiration date, and any lot-specific quantity. Serialized Items create PartLot records with SerialNumber fields populated. Epicor's PartTran transaction log is reconstructed from Bizowie source transactions if the customer requires full traceability history, or archived as a reference document if the transaction volume makes full reconstruction impractical.

Bizowie user accounts and role assignments extract from the system. Role-to-permission mapping is platform-specific: Bizowie role names do not map directly to Epicor Kinetic security groups. We extract the Bizowie role names and present them to the customer's admin for manual mapping to Epicor Kinetic Security Groups. Active users in Bizowie map to active Epicor Users; inactive users can be provisioned as inactive in Epicor or held in a reconciliation queue.

Bizowie's built-in eCommerce sync data from Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, or 3DCart (order imports, product sync, customer sync) does not have a direct Epicor equivalent as a native feature. We document the Bizowie eCommerce configuration schema during discovery so that the customer's Epicor admin can configure the equivalent native Epicor Commerce/EDI connectors or select a third-party integration layer (such as Celigo, Boomi, or DBSync) for the same platform connections. This is a configuration handoff, not a data migration.

Bizowie custom databases built on the knowledge management framework have customer-defined schemas with no direct Epicor equivalent. We extract the full structure and data as CSV during the Bizowie extraction phase. The destination is either Epicor Kinetic UDxx user-defined tables (if the customer has them configured in the target environment) or a structured CSV handoff for manual entry. Custom database mapping depends entirely on the customer's Epicor configuration state at migration time and requires a per-database assessment during discovery.
