Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Breeze ERP to Infor CloudSuite is a structural migration that begins with data extraction challenges Breeze ERP does not publicly document. Breeze has no published API, no bulk export endpoint, and no SQL Server access path, so we negotiate CSV and HTML table exports from each module before attempting any field-level mapping. Infor CloudSuite's migration utility requires a SQL Server source database and a new initialized target database, which means Breeze's HTML exports must first be converted to tabular format and validated before they can enter Infor's migration pipeline. We preserve the Chart of Accounts structure as GL account codes, carry open AP and AR balances as-is at cutover, and map BOM and work order records to Infor's production data model. Infor CloudSuite's multi-tenant cloud architecture limits the customizations that can be deployed, so any Breeze-specific logic embedded in workflows, formulas, or user-defined fields requires explicit scoping and a rebuild plan rather than direct migration. Workflows, automations, and production scheduling rules do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's implementation team to rebuild in Infor's ION-based configuration layer.

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

Infor CloudSuite Corporate logo

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

What's pulling them in

  • Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific out of the box — manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and food & beverage editions ship with preconfigured workflows that reduce the need for extensive customization and accelerate time to value for operations-heavy organizations.
  • The platform's deep integration with Excel for financial reporting is frequently cited as a key productivity feature, allowing finance teams to pull data directly and make changes without leaving familiar tooling.
  • AWS-hosted multi-tenant deployment eliminates data center management for IT teams, and Infor OS provides a unified integration layer (ION) that connects the CloudSuite to third-party applications without point-to-point middleware.
  • Organizations with multi-site or multi-country operations choose Infor for its multicurrency, multilanguage, and local regulatory compliance capabilities across 175+ countries, which simplifies consolidation for global CFOs.
  • The two-tier ERP strategy positioning lets corporate headquarters run CloudSuite while subsidiaries run lighter instances, which appeals to complex organizational structures that want standardization without full replacement.

Object mapping

How Breeze ERP objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a Breeze 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.

Breeze ERP

Customer / Company

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze ERP Customer and Company records map to Infor CloudSuite Customer. The primary key from Breeze (customer code) maps to Infor CustomerId, and the customer name, address, contact details, and payment terms transfer to Infor's Customer form fields. We resolve any duplicate customers (same legal name, different site codes) during scoping and flatten them into a single Customer with multiple Ship-To addresses in Infor. Breeze's customer-specific pricing and discount structures become Infor Customer Price Codes requiring post-migration configuration.

Breeze ERP

Vendor

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Supplier

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze ERP Vendor master records map to Infor CloudSuite Supplier. Vendor code, name, address, bank details, and payment terms transfer directly. We flag any Vendor records with active Purchase Orders at cutover because the PO header and line references must resolve to the newly created Supplier ID during import. Open PO balances carry forward as AP liability records in Infor's AP register.

Breeze ERP

Item / Product

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze ERP Items (both inventory SKUs and non-inventory products) map to Infor CloudSuite Item Master. The item code, description, unit of measure, and cost structure transfer. We handle the unit-of-measure conversion table explicitly because Breeze and Infor use different UOM naming conventions. Inventory quantities at cutover map to Infor's on-hand inventory records tied to the relevant warehouse and site.

Breeze ERP

BOM (Bill of Materials)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

BOM / Recipe

lossy
Fully supported

Breeze ERP BOM records map to Infor CloudSuite Bill of Materials with component lines and routing steps. We extract the BOM header (item code, revision, effective date) and component lines (component item, quantity per, scrap percent) from Breeze exports and map them to Infor's BOM structure. Multi-level BOMs require parent-child resolution across the import sequence. The customer chooses whether to migrate BOM revision history or only the current active revision based on cutover scope.

Breeze ERP

Work Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Production Order

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze ERP Work Orders map to Infor CloudSuite Production Orders. We extract Work Order header (WO number, item to manufacture, quantity, status, scheduled dates) and component issue and labor booking lines. Open work orders (Released, In Process status) migrate with their component allocations and operation routing. Closed work orders migrate as historical records with actuals preserved for costing audit. Work order dependencies on multi-level BOMs resolve against the BOM mapping in the preceding step.

Breeze ERP

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Account Code

lossy
Mapping required

Breeze ERP Chart of Accounts maps to Infor CloudSuite GL Account Code structure. This is the most critical mapping in the migration because every journal entry, AP invoice, AR invoice, and inventory transaction references an account code. We extract the full account hierarchy (account code, description, type, sub-type, parent account) from Breeze exports and configure the corresponding Infor account structure before any transactional records move. We flag accounts with zero balances, accounts used only in prior periods, and accounts with non-standard types for customer review before activation.

Breeze ERP

Open AP Balances

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

AP Invoice / Voucher

1:1
Fully supported

Open Accounts Payable records from Breeze ERP at cutover date map to Infor CloudSuite AP Vouchers. We extract vendor invoice number, vendor code, invoice date, due date, invoice amount, and account distribution lines. Each AP Voucher references the Supplier ID resolved from the Vendor mapping step. Prepayments and credit memos migrate as separate AP documents with their own reference chains. Post migration, the customer's AP team reconciles the Infor AP register against the Breeze AP aging report as the cutover validation step.

Breeze ERP

Open AR Balances

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

AR Invoice / Invoice

1:1
Fully supported

Open Accounts Receivable records from Breeze ERP at cutover date map to Infor CloudSuite AR Invoices. We extract customer invoice number, customer code, invoice date, due date, invoice amount, and account distribution lines. Each AR Invoice references the Customer ID resolved from the Customer mapping step. Credit memos and down payments migrate as separate AR documents with their own reference chains. Post migration, the customer's AR team reconciles the Infor AR register against the Breeze AR aging report.

Breeze ERP

Project

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Project

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze ERP Project records map to Infor CloudSuite Project. We extract project header (project code, name, status, start date, end date, customer reference) and project assignments (resources, time entries, expense entries). Project-specific revenue recognition settings, billing schedules, and WBS structures require explicit scoping because they vary significantly by project type and industry. Projects with open purchase orders and subcontracts carry those references forward and resolve against the Supplier and PO mappings.

Breeze ERP

Inventory Transaction History

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Inventory Transaction Log

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze ERP inventory transaction history (receipts, issues, transfers, adjustments) maps to Infor CloudSuite inventory transaction records. We extract transaction date, item code, warehouse, quantity, cost, and reference document. Historical transactions older than 24 months may be migrated as summary records rather than line-by-line based on scoping agreement, because full transactional history migration significantly increases migration time without proportionate business value. Current on-hand quantities at cutover date are the priority migration.

Breeze ERP

User / Owner

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

User

1:1
Fully supported

Breeze ERP Users referenced on transactions, work orders, and projects map to Infor CloudSuite Users. We resolve by email match where possible. Breeze role and permission structures do not map directly to Infor's role-based security model; we deliver a role matrix document that maps each Breeze role to the nearest Infor functional role for the customer's admin to configure post-migration. Users without email matches go to a reconciliation queue for manual provisioning.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Breeze ERP has no API or bulk export requiring manual data negotiation

    Breeze ERP does not publish API documentation, authentication schemes, or bulk export endpoints. All data extraction requires negotiating HTML table downloads or CSV exports directly from the Breeze platform with vendor cooperation. We cannot issue programmatic API calls against Breeze without a private integration agreement. This limits the scope of what can be migrated automatically and adds manual effort to the project plan because each module's export must be requested separately, scheduled with the customer's Breeze administrator, and then converted from HTML table format to structured tabular format before field mapping begins.

  • Infor CloudSuite migration utility requires SQL Server source database

    Infor's published migration utility (documented in the Infor CloudSuite Migration Utility User Guide) requires the source database to be SQL Server 2008 or later with network connectivity to the Infor target database. Breeze ERP does not provide direct SQL Server access. We must first convert Breeze's HTML and CSV exports to SQL Server staging tables before using Infor's migration utility, adding an intermediate data transformation layer that introduces mapping uncertainty and requires explicit validation at each conversion step.

  • Infor CloudSuite multi-tenant cloud limits on-premise customizations

    Infor CloudSuite's multi-tenant cloud architecture limits the types of customizations that can be deployed compared to on-premise Infor products or Breeze ERP. Any Breeze-specific logic embedded in user-defined fields, custom formulas, or module-specific configurations requires explicit scoping and a rebuild plan in Infor's configuration layer. Cross-product moves within Infor's portfolio are essentially new ERP implementations because each product line (LN, M3, SyteLine) has different core architectures and business logic. We flag every Breeze customization requiring rebuild and deliver a written configuration inventory for the customer's Infor implementation team.

  • BOM and work order dependencies create sequencing risk

    Breeze ERP's manufacturing-first orientation means BOMs, work orders, and production schedules have interdependencies that must resolve in a specific order during migration. BOMs must migrate before work orders because work order records reference BOM revision IDs. Item master records must migrate before BOMs because BOM component lines reference item codes. If any of these three object types contains errors or missing references at cutover, the downstream objects fail validation in Infor's production order creation process. We sequence these imports explicitly and run dependency validation between each phase.

  • HTML export from Breeze requires column-semantic inference

    Breeze ERP exports data from the web UI as HTML tables rather than structured CSV or JSON. Column headers in HTML exports use UI labels rather than field names, which means we must infer the semantic meaning of each column from the UI context before mapping to Infor's field schema. Some columns have ambiguous names (e.g., 'Code' could mean customer code, item code, or account code depending on the module). We resolve this by requesting sample data during discovery, comparing export headers against Breeze's UI labels, and building a confirmed field map before any production migration runs. Any columns without confirmed semantic meaning are flagged as unmapped and excluded from the initial migration scope.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Breeze ERP to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Export negotiation and discovery

    We engage the customer's Breeze ERP administrator to negotiate data exports from each module (Customers, Vendors, Items, Chart of Accounts, BOMs, Work Orders, Projects, Open AP, Open AR). We request HTML table and CSV exports from every relevant screen, document the export schedule with the Breeze vendor, and begin the HTML-to-tabular conversion process. Simultaneously, we conduct a discovery session to capture record counts per module, identify custom fields, understand the Chart of Accounts hierarchy, and assess BOM complexity (single-level vs. multi-level, revision control). The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts and a preliminary field map.

  2. HTML-to-tabular conversion and field mapping

    We convert Breeze HTML table exports to structured tabular format (CSV or database staging tables) and infer column semantics from UI labels. We build a field map that pairs each Breeze export column with its Infor CloudSuite target field. For the Chart of Accounts, we map account codes and GL structure explicitly before any transactional records are mapped. We flag any Breeze fields without a confirmed Infor equivalent as excluded or deferred. The field map is reviewed by the customer's functional leads (Finance, Operations, Production) before we proceed to staging database setup.

  3. SQL Server staging and Infor migration utility preparation

    We load the converted tabular data into a SQL Server staging database that satisfies the Infor CloudSuite Migration Utility's source database requirement. We configure import source tables, import target tables, and import steps per the Infor Migration Utility documentation. We validate that the staging database's SQL Server version meets the 2008 or later requirement and that network connectivity between the staging database and the Infor target database is confirmed. We run a dry-run import with a subset of records to validate the mapping and transform logic before committing the full dataset.

  4. Chart of Accounts and GL structure setup

    We configure the Infor CloudSuite Chart of Accounts structure before any transactional records are imported, because every AP invoice, AR invoice, inventory transaction, and journal entry references a GL account code. We map Breeze account codes to Infor account codes, configure account types (Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, Expense), and set up the account hierarchy. We run a validation that every transactional record in the staging database resolves to a valid Infor account code. Accounts with missing or invalid GL codes are routed to a correction queue for the customer's finance team to resolve before the transactional migration phase begins.

  5. Master data migration in dependency order

    We run master data migration in strict dependency order: Item Master (prerequisite for BOMs and inventory), BOMs (prerequisite for Work Orders), Customer, Supplier, then Chart of Accounts (already completed in step 4). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report and a sample record validation that the customer's functional lead signs off before the next phase begins. Open AP and AR balances migrate after master data is complete, carrying forward the Customer and Supplier IDs resolved in the master data phase.

  6. Cutover, delta migration, and validation

    We freeze Breeze ERP writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified after the initial extract, then enable Infor CloudSuite as the system of record. The customer's finance team reconciles the Infor AP and AR registers against the Breeze aging reports as the cutover validation step. We deliver a written inventory of all Breeze workflows, production scheduling rules, and custom formulas requiring rebuild in Infor's ION configuration layer. We support a one-week post-cutover window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Breeze automations as Infor configurations as part of the standard migration scope.

Most migrations land between eight and twelve weeks for straightforward scopes with under 15,000 Customers, 5,000 Vendors, 10,000 Items, and a single-level BOM structure. Migrations with multi-level BOMs, open AP/AR carry-forward requiring GL reconciliation, large transactional history, or projects with complex WBS structures move to twelve to twenty weeks because of HTML-to-tabular conversion effort, BOM dependency resolution, and the Infor migration utility dry-run cycle. Breeze ERP has no published API, so the initial data extraction and conversion phases add time that would not exist in a migration from a platform with a documented bulk export.
