Overview
Moving from Daftra to Infor Cloudsuite is a structural migration from a MENA-focused SMB ERP to an enterprise-grade industry-specific cloud suite. Daftra's integrated CRM, HRM, and accounting modules consolidate into Infor's modular suite architecture where financials, supply chain, manufacturing, and HR live as separate products under the Cloudsuite umbrella. The primary technical challenge is that Daftra does not publish a public API; we coordinate with Daftra's technical team to extract data via UI exports and any available API endpoints before transforming and loading into Infor's migration database. We normalize Arabic character encoding to UTF-8, reconstruct Daftra's flat Chart of Accounts export into Infor's hierarchical COA structure, and sequence all imports so that master data (accounts, items, suppliers, employees) is committed before any transactional records. Workflows, custom automation rules, and Daftra's Cheque Cycle stage tracking do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for your Infor admin to rebuild using Infor OS or the appropriate Cloudsuite module configuration tool.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a daftra 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.
daftra
Clients
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer / Supplier
1:manyDaftra Clients include both customers and suppliers under a single object. We split by Daftra client type flag: Customer-type clients map to Infor Customer records (custMstr), Supplier-type clients map to Infor Supplier records (suppMstr). Contact details, addresses, and follow-up history migrate as related Contact and Address records. Client membership points and insurance references preserve as supplementary properties noted for manual entry in Infor OS or the appropriate Cloudsuite module.
daftra
Products & Services
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Master
1:1Daftra Products and Services catalog maps to Infor Item Master (ItemMstr or its equivalent in the applicable Cloudsuite edition). SKU (hs_sku), pricing tiers, stock levels, and supplier links migrate as item attributes. Product type (good vs service) maps to Infor Item Type. Custom fields on Daftra Products are enumerated and mapped to Infor extended data structures or user-defined fields on the Item form.
daftra
Invoices
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR Invoice / AP Voucher
1:1Daftra Invoices map to Infor Accounts Receivable invoices (customer invoices) or Accounts Payable vouchers (supplier invoices) depending on the Daftra invoice type flag. Line items, taxes, installment schedules, and sales commission assignments migrate as invoice lines and tax distributions. Custom fields on Daftra Invoices require per-field mapping to Infor extended fields or remark records. Invoice balance and payment status preserve for open invoice handling at cutover.
daftra
Expenses
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Expense Records
1:1Daftra Expense records map to Infor expense or purchasing modules depending on whether the expense is internal (HRM) or payable to a vendor (AP). Amount, category, date, and attachment references migrate. We link expenses against the Infor Chart of Accounts using the account mapping established during COA load. Recurring expense patterns flag as a boolean on the Infor record for manual configuration of recurring voucher setup.
daftra
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
General Ledger Account Master
1:1Daftra's Chart of Accounts exports as a flat table with parent-child relationships inferred from account codes. We reconstruct the hierarchical account tree during discovery, then load accounts to Infor in account code order to respect hierarchical posting sequence. Account type (asset, liability, revenue, expense) maps to Infor account category. Sub-account parent references populate using Infor's segment structure or hierarchical account linkage depending on the Cloudsuite edition's COA model.
daftra
Cost Centers
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Department / Cost Center Dimension
lossyDaftra Cost Centers map to Infor's cost center or department dimension (specific object name varies by Cloudsuite edition). The linking between Cost Centers and individual transactions requires field-level extraction from Daftra's expense and invoice records and mapping to Infor's dimension assignment fields. If Infor uses a multi-dimensional COA, Cost Centers become a dimension segment; if Infor uses a flat COA with cost center as a field, we configure the field mapping accordingly during discovery.
daftra
Employees
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Employee / Workforce Management
1:1Daftra Employee records map to Infor Employee or Workforce Management records (specific object varies by Cloudsuite edition). Organizational structure placement, contracts, and attendance history migrate as employment records and related notes. Daftra payroll compensation time-series extracts as a separate payroll history file and loads to Infor HR as historical compensation records. Employee custom fields require per-field mapping to Infor HR extended fields.
daftra
Assets
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Fixed Asset Master
1:1Daftra Fixed Assets map to Infor Fixed Asset records. Asset master data (description, classification, acquisition date, cost) migrates as the asset header. Depreciation schedules extract from Daftra's Assets module separately and load as depreciation method and schedule records in Infor. Custom fields on Daftra Assets are enumerated per object and mapped to Infor fixed asset extended fields.
daftra
Work Orders
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Production Order / Service Order
1:1Daftra Work Orders map to Infor Production Orders (for manufacturing Cloudsuite editions) or Service Orders (for service management configurations). Work Order header data (client link, employee assignment, product link, status, stage history) migrates as order records with activity log preserved as notes or attachments. File attachments and linked documents migrate as ContentDocument records attached to the Infor order.
daftra
Bookings / Reservations
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Reservation / Appointment
1:1Daftra Reservation Files (PNR-style booking records) map to Infor reservation or appointment records where the applicable Cloudsuite edition supports service reservation management. Status tracking, appointment scheduling, and activity logs migrate as reservation header and line activity records. If the target Infor edition does not include native reservation management, we migrate reservation data as Work Order or Service Order records with a reservation flag for manual reorganization.
daftra
Cheque Cycle
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Payment Records / Cheque Management
1:1Daftra Cheque Cycle records track cheques through issue, deposit, and return stages tied to both the Chart of Accounts and specific invoice or payment records. We extract the full cycle history as a transaction supplement and link to the corresponding Infor AP or AR records created during invoice migration. Stage history (issued, deposited, returned, cleared) maps to Infor payment status fields or remark records. If the target Infor edition does not include a native cheque cycle tracker, we document the mapping for manual configuration in Infor Payments or AP module.

daftra gotchas
API is not publicly documented
Custom fields are object-scoped and must be enumerated per object
Chart of Accounts export does not flatten sub-account hierarchy
Arabic character encoding requires normalization
Infor CloudSuite Corporate gotchas

Custom Fields use inconsistent naming across Infor editions
SQL migration utility requires source database access
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
Vendor coordination and data discovery
We open a coordination channel with Daftra's technical team to obtain API access or agree on a structured export methodology given the absence of public API documentation. During this window, we enumerate all Daftra objects (Clients, Products, Invoices, Expenses, Chart of Accounts, Cost Centers, Employees, Assets, Work Orders, Bookings, Custom Fields, Cheque Cycle) from the UI and document custom field definitions per object. We extract a full schema snapshot and sample records for mapping. We also identify the target Infor Cloudsuite edition (Industrial, M3, LN, Automotive, Food & Beverage, or another vertical) based on the customer's industry and operational scope.
Source data profiling and quality assessment
We profile the extracted Daftra data for quality issues: duplicate client and supplier records, missing account references on invoices, incomplete employee profiles, Arabic character encoding issues, date format inconsistencies (Hijri vs Gregorian), and orphaned child records. We build a data quality report and remediate identified issues before mapping. This phase typically reveals 15-30 percent of records with address, contact, or date field issues that require cleansing before Infor import.
Infor schema design and migration database setup
We design the Infor destination schema in collaboration with the customer's Infor implementation partner or Infor Consulting Services. Master data objects (Chart of Accounts, Item Master, Customer, Supplier, Employee) are configured first. We use Infor's DataMap Schema-Properties spreadsheet and CloudSuite Database Schema Report to understand Infor's table structure, field types, and valid values. We set up Infor's external application and migration databases per Infor's documented process, connecting to the Daftra source SQL Server or accepting structured extract files. Cost Center and sub-account hierarchies are mapped to Infor's dimensional structure during this phase.
Mapping, transformation rules, and import sequence definition
We define transformation rules for each Daftra-to-Infor object mapping: account code prefix parsing for COA hierarchy reconstruction, client type split for Customer vs Supplier, invoice type flag routing to AR vs AP, Arabic text UTF-8 normalization, Hijri-to-Gregorian date conversion, and unit-of-measure standardization. We use Infor's Import Rule Definition form to specify general rule types and the Import Table Column Rule Definition form for specific field-level transformations. The import sequence is defined using Infor's Import Steps form, respecting dependencies: Chart of Accounts must load before any invoice or expense, Item Master before any line item, and Employees before any Work Order or HR record.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a preliminary data transfer into a non-production Infor environment using Infor's Preliminary Data Transfer process. The migration utility assesses data records, generates new transformation rules for identified issues, and produces a Data Assessment Report and transfer log. The customer's Infor team reviews the report, we fix mapping errors, and the cycle repeats until no errors remain. This phase validates the complete mapping logic against production-like data volume before any data touches the Infor production database.
Production cutover, delta load, and verification
We freeze Daftra write access during the cutover window. We run the final delta export capturing any records modified after the main extraction snapshot. We load the delta into the Infor migration database and run the final data transfer in dependency order: Chart of Accounts, Item Master, Customers and Suppliers, Employees, Assets, then transactional records (Invoices, Expenses, Work Orders, Bookings, Cheque Cycle). We run post-migration verification: record counts per object, spot-checks on 25-50 records per object against source, and verification of Arabic text rendering in Infor. We deliver the Workflow, Automation, and Cheque Cycle inventory document to the customer's Infor admin team for rebuild in Infor OS or the appropriate module configuration tool.
