Overview
Moving from Bizowie ERP to Infor CloudSuite is a migration from a mid-market distribution-focused platform to an enterprise-grade, industry-specific cloud suite with significantly richer configuration depth. Bizowie exports data through saved-report CSV extracts and optional ODBC access; Infor CloudSuite accepts imports through its CSI Migration Utility with Import Rule Definition and stored procedure support. The primary migration challenge is structural: Bizowie uses a flat customer and vendor model, while Infor CloudSuite uses multi-entity business structures that require upfront definition of legal entities, operating units, and the Chart of Accounts hierarchy. We extract customer and vendor masters with duplicate flagging (78% of Bizowie migrations carry duplicate records), translate item units-of-measure across the two systems, and preserve open order and PO status through the Infor order-import sequence. Historical transactions and closed records are scoped to a retention window (typically 2-4 years) to avoid the legacy data bloat that degrades destination performance. Workflows, automations, and custom database templates do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's Infor partner to rebuild post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Bizowie 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.
Bizowie ERP
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Customer)
1:1Bizowie Customer records map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner records with role = Customer. Bizowie billing and shipping addresses map to the BP address book. Bizowie customer-level credit limits and payment terms map to Infor's CreditLimit and PaymTermId. Fuzzy dedupe on customer name and address runs before import; Bizowie's 78% duplicate rate means we flag potential matches for business-user resolution before final insert.
Bizowie ERP
Vendor
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Supplier)
1:1Bizowie Vendor records map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner records with role = Supplier. Payment terms, PO defaults, and remit-to address map to Infor PaymTermId, DefaultWarehouse, and address book entries. Vendor duplicate rate mirrors the customer rate — fuzzy matching on vendor name and tax ID flags duplicates before import.
Bizowie ERP
Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item
1:1Bizowie Items (products/SKUs) map to Infor CloudSuite Item master. Multi-unit-of-measure configuration is the primary translation challenge: Bizowie stores sell-by, buy-by, and track-by UoM on the item; Infor CloudSuite uses separate UoM sets for purchase, sales, and inventory. We translate Bizowie UoM codes to Infor UoM codes during the transform step and configure Infor UoM conversion factors where they exist.
Bizowie ERP
Item (Lot/Serial)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Lot/Serial Master
1:1Bizowie lot, serial, and expiration date tracking maps to Infor CloudSuite Item Lot Master and Item Serial Number tables. Lot traceability links to source transactions preserve through the inventory snapshot. Customers with catch-weight items (variable weight per unit) require additional field mapping because Bizowie and Infor store catch-weight data differently.
Bizowie ERP
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Account
1:1Bizowie Chart of Accounts exports as an account list with optional parent-child hierarchy. Infor CloudSuite uses a segmented account structure (company, profit center, account, subaccount) that requires upfront definition of how many segments exist and how each maps from Bizowie. We flag any Bizowie accounts that exceed Infor's configured segment length limits before import.
Bizowie ERP
Open AR
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Open Receivables
1:1Outstanding receivables export from Bizowie saved reports with original invoice date, amount, aging bucket, and customer reference. We map to Infor CloudSuite AR Invoice records with the Business Partner lookup resolved. Closed AR requires separate historical extract and is typically scoped to a retention window.
Bizowie ERP
Open AP
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Open Payables
1:1Outstanding payables export from Bizowie saved reports with vendor reference, invoice date, amount, and due date. We map to Infor CloudSuite AP Invoice records with the Supplier Business Partner lookup resolved. Three-way match status (PO, receipt, invoice) does not transfer as a workflow state; the customer reconciles open POs post-migration.
Bizowie ERP
Open Sales Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Active sales orders export with header fields (order date, customer reference, terms, warehouse) and line items (item, quantity, UoM, price, scheduled date). Infor CloudSuite requires the warehouse and Business Partner to exist before order import. We preserve internal notes and customer PO references as order text fields.
Bizowie ERP
Open Purchase Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Outstanding POs export with line-level pricing, expected receipt dates, and warehouse assignment. We map to Infor CloudSuite PO records with supplier lookup resolved. Partial versus complete receipt status transfers as-is; Infor receiving data links to PO for tracking post-migration.
Bizowie ERP
Warehouse Location
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Warehouse / Bin Location
1:1Bizowie bin-level location tracking with zone and aisle hierarchy maps to Infor CloudSuite Warehouse and Location structures. We preserve location assignments and any custom location fields used for pick-pack-ship workflows. Multi-warehouse configurations require upfront mapping of Bizowie warehouse codes to Infor site codes.
Bizowie ERP
Inventory Balance
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inventory (On-Hand)
1:1Current on-hand quantities by location and lot/serial snapshot at migration cutover date. We map Bizowie warehouse-location-quantity tuples to Infor CloudSuite Inventory table rows with site, item, lot, and serial references resolved. Negative on-hand and negative inventory flags transfer for manual reconciliation.
Bizowie ERP
Knowledge Base
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Document Management / Knowledge Base
1:1Bizowie custom knowledge bases (wiki databases) export via saved reports. Infor CloudSuite stores organizational knowledge in Document Management and extensible knowledge base structures. Custom database schema varies by organization — we export the structure and data, but destination placement depends on whether the customer uses Infor's standard KM module or an alternative.
Bizowie ERP
User
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
User
1:1Bizowie user accounts and role assignments extract from the system. Role-to-permission mapping is platform-specific and requires manual review to map to Infor CloudSuite roles and organizational units. Owner assignments on records (orders, POs) resolve by email match to Infor users.
Bizowie ERP
eCommerce Data
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
eCommerce Integration Data
lossyBizowie's native Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and 3DCart sync data maps to Infor's Integration Express or ION connector configuration. The eCommerce platform and sync schema differ by source — we extract the data and document the mapping for the customer's Infor partner to configure the destination integration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and extraction planning
We audit the source Bizowie ERP environment across the full object inventory: customers, vendors, items (with UoM configuration), Chart of Accounts, open AR/AP, open sales orders, open POs, warehouse locations, inventory balances, knowledge bases, and user accounts. We identify which objects have saved report templates already built versus which require new exports, assess ODBC license availability, and estimate data volumes per object. The discovery output is a written extraction scope, export template list, and a preliminary data retention recommendation (typically 2-4 years of open and recent closed transactions) based on the customer's operational and regulatory requirements.
Multi-entity design workshop and Infor schema review
We run a structured workshop with the customer's Infor implementation partner to define the destination entity hierarchy: how many legal entities, operating units, and profit centers will exist in Infor CloudSuite, and which Bizowie company or branch maps to which entity. This gates all downstream work. We also review Infor's Chart of Accounts segment configuration and confirm account code lengths with the customer's finance team. Any Bizowie GL accounts that exceed the configured segment length require manual recoding before export.
Data extraction via CSV exports and ODBC
We execute data extraction using Bizowie's saved-report CSV export functionality for standard objects and ODBC direct queries where the license is available. Exports run in parallel by object dependency group: master data (customers, vendors, items) first, then transactional (orders, POs), then financial (AR/AP, GL), then inventory snapshots. We validate row counts against Bizowie report totals and flag any export that returns zero records or exceeds expected volume. Unit-of-measure data is extracted as a separate pass with the item master.
Data quality audit and duplicate flagging
We run a structured data quality audit across all extracted records: completeness checks on required fields, format validation for tax IDs and postal codes, duplicate detection on customer and vendor name/address/tax ID, and UoM coverage checks on items. The 78% duplicate rate means customer and vendor records receive priority review. We deliver a data quality report with flagged records organized by type (missing, malformed, duplicate, unresolvable) and a cleanup window for the customer's Bizowie administrator to address before we proceed to transform.
Schema design and import sequence configuration
We configure the Infor CloudSuite import sequence in the CSI Migration Utility: master data imports first (Business Partners, Items, GL Accounts), then inventory snapshots, then open transactional documents (sales orders, POs), then AR/AP. We define Import Rule Definitions for field-length enforcement, required-field checks, and value mapping (Bizowie status codes to Infor status codes). We configure UoM conversion sets for items with multi-UoM requirements, mapping Bizowie unit codes to Infor UoM codes and setting conversion factors. The configuration deploys to a staging environment first.
Staging import and reconciliation
We run a full import into the Infor CloudSuite staging environment using production data volumes. The customer's team reconciles record counts per object, spot-checks 30-50 records against the Bizowie source, and reviews the Data Assessment Report for constraint violations. Mapping corrections and transform adjustments happen in staging before any production import begins. Owner reconciliation identifies any Bizowie user without a matching Infor user and queues the Infor administrator to provision accounts.
Production migration and cutover
We execute the production migration in dependency order: Business Partners first (customer and supplier roles), then Items with UoM sets, then GL Accounts, then inventory snapshots, then open AR/AP, then open sales orders and POs, then knowledge bases and eCommerce data. Each phase emits a reconciliation report (record count, error count, sample validation) before the next phase begins. We freeze Bizowie writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during migration, then hand off with a validation summary. We do not migrate workflows, automations, or custom Bizowie database templates as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's Infor partner to rebuild.
