Overview

What this migration involves

Breeze ERP is a project-management-centric SaaS with boards, tasks, time tracking, and custom fields. Its data model centers on Projects containing Tasks, with contacts and companies as secondary entities. Breeze has no native GL, AP/AR, or inventory management. Acumatica is a mid-market cloud ERP built on a relational database (SQL Server or MySQL underneath) with separate modules for Financials, Distribution, Inventory, Projects, and CRM. The two platforms model business data fundamentally differently: Breeze uses flat key-value custom fields while Acumatica uses typed DAC extensions with Usr-prefixed custom fields requiring schema setup. Acumatica's relational model enforces referential integrity — master data (Customers, Vendors, Inventory Items) must load before transactional data (Project Tasks, Sales Orders). FlitStack AI sequences the migration so parent entities land first, foreign keys resolve cleanly, and project-task hierarchies from Breeze become sub-records under Acumatica Projects. We support import via Acumatica Import Scenarios (CSV-driven), direct database insert, or API-based load — chosen per entity based on data volume. Every Breeze custom field gets mapped to a corresponding Acumatica custom field with type-aware conversion. User accounts from Breeze resolve to Acumatica contacts by email match. Files attached to Breeze tasks re-upload as NoteDocuments linked to the target Project Task. Workflows, automations, and sequences do not migrate — those have to be rebuilt in Acumatica's automation engine. FlitStack provides Breeze automation exports as rebuild reference documents. All imports run with scoped read access on Breeze; your team continues working. A 24–48 hour delta pickup captures changes made during the final data cutover before you switch over to Acumatica.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Breeze ERP logo

Breeze ERP

What's pushing teams away

  • No publicly documented API makes data export opaque and migration dependent on vendor cooperation, forcing customers into manual workarounds to extract their own data.
  • Lack of published pricing makes cost-of-ownership unclear for growing businesses, leading to sticker shock at renewal or during expansion.
  • Limited integrations with third-party CRMs, e-commerce platforms, and banking systems create data silos that erode the all-in-one value proposition over time.
  • Absence of public developer documentation means customers cannot validate data portability before committing, increasing switching costs when they eventually leave.

Choosing

Acumatica

What's pulling them in

  • Unlimited user licensing lets companies add staff without per-seat billing shocks, making Acumatica cost-predictable at scale.
  • Flexibility and scalability earn consistent praise — users value a platform that adapts to vertical workflows without forcing a redesign.
  • Real-time visibility across financials, inventory, and projects gives mid-market businesses a consolidated operational view previously available only in enterprise-tier ERPs.
  • Cloud-native architecture with automatic updates removes infrastructure management burden from in-house IT teams.
  • Modular licensing lets companies start with one or two suites (Financials, Distribution) and expand into Manufacturing or CRM incrementally.

Object mapping

How Breeze ERP objects map to Acumatica

Each row shows how a Breeze ERP object lands in Acumatica, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Breeze ERP

Project

maps to

Acumatica

PMProject

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze Projects map directly to Acumatica PMProject records. We preserve the original Breeze project name, description, status, start/due dates, and estimated hours as PMProject fields. Breeze task hierarchies become PMTask sub-records under the project. Custom fields on the Breeze project map to Usr-prefixed fields on PMProject via Acumatica DAC extension.

Breeze ERP

Task

maps to

Acumatica

PMTask

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze Tasks under a project map to PMTask sub-records in Acumatica's Projects module. Each task inherits the PMProjectID from its parent Breeze project. Task name maps to summary, description maps to the detail field, and priority maps to PMTask.urgencycd with value conversion. Breeze status (To Do, In Progress, Done) maps to PMTask.status with Acumatica-specific status codes.

Breeze ERP

User / Team Member

maps to

Acumatica

Contact (Users as Contacts)

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze team members resolve to Acumatica Contacts by email match. The Contact.FullName maps from Breeze user display name, and Email maps directly. Unmatched Breeze users are flagged before migration — you either create Acumatica user accounts first or assign those records to a fallback Contact. Breeze user IDs are stored as a custom reference field for owner traceability.

Breeze ERP

Custom Field (Project-level)

maps to

Acumatica

PMProject Usr-field (DAC extension)

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze project-level custom fields map to Acumatica PMProject extension fields with Usr-prefixed names. Type-aware mapping: text → string(256), number → decimal, date → date, picklist → selector. Each field requires an Acumatica Customization Project to define the DAC extension and publish it before data loads. FlitStack delivers the field-definition mapping plan as part of the schema setup package.

Breeze ERP

Custom Field (Task-level)

maps to

Acumatica

PMTask Usr-field (DAC extension)

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze task custom fields become Acumatica PMTask extension fields (Usr-prefixed). Acumatica requires the DAC extension to be published in a Customization Project before PMTask records with those fields can be inserted. FlitStack sequences the migration so custom field definitions are deployed first, then PMTask data loads. Picklist fields from Breeze require value-by-value mapping against Acumatica selector definitions.

Breeze ERP

Task Priority

maps to

Acumatica

PMTask.urgencycd

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze task priority (Low, Medium, High) maps to Acumatica PMTask urgency codes using value translation: Low → Urgency 2 (Low), Medium → Urgency 3 (Medium), High → Urgency 4 (High). Urgency code defaults (Urgency 1–4) are defined in Acumatica's Priority code table. If your Acumatica instance uses custom urgency codes, we map against your actual code values.

Breeze ERP

Task Status

maps to

Acumatica

PMTask.status

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze task status (To Do, In Progress, Done, Cancelled) maps to Acumatica PMTask.status codes. Acumatica's default Project Task statuses are New, In Progress, Completed, and Cancelled — we map each Breeze status to the closest Acumatica equivalent. Breeze CompletedDate maps to PMTask.dateCompleted where applicable. If Breeze uses custom task statuses, we produce a full value-mapping table during the planning phase.

Breeze ERP

Time Tracking (Estimated Hours)

maps to

Acumatica

PMTask.estimatedHours

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze estimated hours on a task map to PMTask.estimatedHours. This field is available on PMTask and enables Acumatica's project budget vs. actual reporting. If Breeze stores estimated hours at the project level rather than the task level, those map to PMProject.estimatedDuration or a custom field on PMProject depending on your Acumatica configuration.

Breeze ERP

Time Tracking (Actual Hours)

maps to

Acumatica

PMTask labor items / ProjCost

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze actual logged hours become Acumatica ProjCost labor items linked to the PMTask. Each Breeze time-entry maps to a ProjCost record with the employee as the cost code, hours as the quantity, and the task's labor item as the inventory ID. This preserves individual time entries as cost transactions rather than collapsing them into a single aggregate figure.

Breeze ERP

File Attachment

maps to

Acumatica

NoteDocument / UploadFile

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze file attachments on tasks download and re-upload as NoteDocuments in Acumatica, linked to the corresponding PMTask or PMProject. File name and the original upload timestamp are preserved as note attributes. Acumatica's default file size limit is 25 MB per file; files exceeding this are flagged for manual handling or chunked upload.

Breeze ERP

Project Tag / Category

maps to

Acumatica

PMProject.classID / UsrCustomField

1:many
Fully supported

Breeze allows multiple tags per project. Acumatica PMProject uses a single classID field for classification. The primary Breeze tag maps to classID; additional tags are stored in a custom multi-select field (UsrBreezeTags__c) or as a related note. We surface the tag mapping plan before migration so you can decide whether to consolidate tags into a single classID or use the custom multi-select approach.

Breeze ERP

Breeze Project ID

maps to

Acumatica

UsrBreezeProjectID__c (PMProject)

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze's internal project ID is stored as a custom text field (UsrBreezeProjectID__c) on PMProject. This serves as the source system reference for delta-run de-duplication, reconciliation audits, and rollback identification. It is required for the delta pickup window to work correctly — new or modified Breeze records are matched against this ID during the final sync pass.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Acumatica's relational load order blocks foreign key violations

    Acumatica enforces referential integrity at the database level. A Project Task (PMTask) cannot load with a PMProjectID referencing a project that has not yet been committed. Breeze has no equivalent constraint — projects and tasks are essentially independent objects that happen to be related in the UI. If your Breeze export contains tasks orphaned from their parent project, those tasks will fail to load into Acumatica. FlitStack's pre-load validation identifies orphan tasks and resolves them by either linking to the correct project or creating a placeholder project first. This is the most common source of migration failures for Breeze-to-Acumatica pairs and requires explicit handling in the migration plan.

  • Custom fields require a published Customization Project before data can load

    Breeze project and task custom fields are simple label-value pairs with no schema enforcement. Acumatica requires custom fields to be defined in a Customization Project as DAC extensions with Usr-prefixed names, and that project must be published to the instance before PMProject or PMTask records containing those fields can be inserted. This creates a sequencing dependency: the Acumatica schema must be prepared and published before data migration begins. If your Breeze instance uses many custom fields, the Customization Project setup step can add 1–3 days to the pre-migration phase. FlitStack delivers the full field-definition mapping as a schema setup package so your Acumatica admin can deploy it before the data load window opens.

  • Task status and priority require explicit value-by-value mapping

    Breeze task statuses and priorities are fully customizable by the customer — you can define any number of custom statuses beyond the defaults (To Do, In Progress, Done). Acumatica's PMTask.status field uses a fixed set of codes (New, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) and UrgencyCD uses your Priority code table entries. There is no automatic translation: a Breeze status called 'Blocked' does not become 'In Progress' without an explicit mapping decision. FlitStack produces a full value-mapping table during the planning phase for every pick-list field in Breeze, maps each value to the appropriate Acumatica equivalent, and flags any values with no clear Acumatica counterpart for your team to decide.

  • Time tracking transforms from aggregate hours to labor cost transactions

    Breeze stores task time tracking as a single estimated-hours field and an actual-hours field per task — these are simple numbers on the task record. Acumatica does not store actual hours as a single number on PMTask. Instead, actual labor hours from Breeze must become ProjCost labor items — individual transaction rows with an employee, labor item, hours, and cost code. This transformation means the aggregate task-level actual hours are preserved but distributed across per-employee ProjCost records. If Breeze time entries include billable rates or cost codes, those map to ProjCost.Amount and ProjCost CostCode respectively. This is not a data loss scenario but a structural change that affects how project cost reports look in Acumatica versus Breeze.

  • Breeze API rate limits constrain export speed during data pull

    Breeze's API enforces 100 calls per minute and 5,000 calls per day. For migrations with thousands of tasks across multiple projects, a full data pull at this rate takes longer than platforms with higher limits. Acumatica's import side has no equivalent hard ceiling — your VAR can negotiate API tiers. FlitStack throttles Breeze API calls to stay within the 100 calls/min limit and distributes large exports across multiple days when needed to stay under the 5,000/day ceiling. This extends the extraction phase for large Breeze datasets but avoids data loss from API throttling errors. We provide a Breeze API usage estimate during scoping so you know the extraction timeline before the migration begins.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Breeze ERP to Acumatica data migration

  1. Extract Breeze data at API rate limits and map custom fields

    FlitStack connects to Breeze via its API using scoped read access, pulling Projects, Tasks, Users, Contacts, and custom field definitions in sequence. We respect the Breeze API rate limit of 100 calls per minute and track daily call counts to avoid hitting the 5,000/day ceiling on large migrations. For large datasets we distribute extraction across multiple days. We simultaneously inventory every custom field definition in Breeze — field label, type, and pick-list values — to produce the Acumatica DAC extension plan. File attachments on tasks are queued for download separately from the API pull. We deliver a data inventory report before any Acumatica schema work begins.

  2. Build Acumatica Customization Project and schema extensions

    FlitStack delivers a complete schema setup package for your Acumatica admin: the list of PMProject and PMTask Usr-prefixed custom fields with their types, selector definitions for pick-list fields, and the Priority/Urgency code mappings. Your admin creates and publishes the Customization Project in your Acumatica test environment before the migration dry run. This step is sequenced first because Acumatica will reject PMProject or PMTask records containing custom fields that are not defined in a published Customization Project. We provide validation scripts to confirm all custom fields are published and accessible before the data load begins.

  3. Resolve Breeze users to Acumatica contacts and validate project hierarchy

    Breeze team members are matched to Acumatica Contacts by email address — this is the owner and assignee resolution step. Unmatched Breeze users are flagged with a resolution report: either invite them to Acumatica first or assign their records to a fallback Contact. Simultaneously, we validate that every Breeze task has a parent project — tasks orphaned from their project are identified and resolved (either linked to the correct project or assigned a placeholder project). Acumatica cannot load PMTask records without a valid PMProjectID. This step runs in the Breeze data against the target Acumatica instance's contact list and produces a go/no-go decision before the dry run.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff and value mapping validation

    A representative slice of Breeze data — typically 100–300 records spanning 5–10 projects and their tasks — migrates into your Acumatica test environment. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source Breeze values against the loaded Acumatica records. This validates the task-status and priority value mappings, confirms custom field data is populating correctly in Acumatica, and verifies that project-task hierarchies render properly in Acumatica's Projects screen. Any field with a mismatch, missing value, or truncation is corrected in the mapping plan before the full run. This step typically takes 1–2 days of clock time after the Acumatica Customization Project is published.

  5. Execute full migration and delta pickup for in-flight changes

    The full Breeze dataset loads into Acumatica using the validated mapping — Acumatica Import Scenarios for structured entities, direct API inserts for complex records. We run in batches to manage Acumatica's processing load. A delta pickup window of 24–48 hours after the full load captures any Breeze records created or modified during the cutover period while your team continues working in Breeze. After delta pickup, we run a final reconciliation report comparing total record counts and key field values between Breeze and Acumatica. FlitStack generates an audit log of every import operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies critical mismatches.

Most Breeze-to-Acumatica migrations complete in 3–6 weeks for under 5,000 tasks with light custom fields. The longest phase is Acumatica schema preparation (defining and publishing custom field DAC extensions in a Customization Project) and the sample migration validation pass. Larger migrations with extensive custom fields, inventory items, or multi-entity Acumatica setups extend to 8–16 weeks. Breeze API rate limits (100 calls/min, 5,000/day) also affect how quickly the extraction phase runs for large datasets.
