Overview
Datacor ERP lacks a documented public API, making programmatic extraction the first migration challenge. We coordinate with the Datacor administrator to extract normalized CSV or database dumps, staging them in our pipeline before transformation. Items carry formula data, multi-level BOMs, and shelf-life metadata that do not map 1:1 to standard Infor product tables; we extract the full BOM structure, preserve co-product and by-product relationships, and map shelf-life as user-defined fields. Lot genealogy migrates with full cradle-to-grave tracking including parent lots and downstream consumption records. In-process production batches cannot be safely cut over mid-process; we advise completing or formally closing all open batches before migration day. Safety Data Sheets and regulatory compliance records do not migrate as documents; we migrate the item-SDS linkage and flag re-linking as a post-migration admin task. Workflows, automations, and custom reports do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's Infor implementation team to rebuild.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Datacor 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.
Datacor ERP
Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Product2
lossyDatacor Items carry formula data, multi-level BOMs, unit-of-measure conversions, and shelf-life metadata that require transformation to fit Infor CloudSuite's product schema. We extract all BOM levels and preserve the formula hierarchy as Infor BOM structures (exact mapping depends on the CloudSuite industry edition deployed). Shelf-life expiration metadata maps to user-defined fields or lot-specific attributes in Infor. Co-products and by-products from Datacor's formula production are mapped to Infor's co-product and by-product BOM components.
Datacor ERP
Lot / Serial Number
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Lot / Serial Number
1:1Datacor's cradle-to-grave lot tracking migrates with full genealogy including parent lots, co-products, by-products, and downstream consumption records. Lot status, location, dates of receipt and expiry, and lot attributes transfer directly. The genealogy tree (parent-child lot relationships) is preserved by resolving parent lot references at migration time. Infor's lot tracking validates the structure against its own lot number format.
Datacor ERP
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Account
1:1Datacor Customers carry customer-specific pricing tiers (CUPS matrix), credit limits, discount schedules, and multi-address support. These map to Infor CloudSuite Account records with pricing tiers stored as custom fields since standard Infor pricing sits at the product or account level. The customer-product pricing matrix is extracted in full, normalized into a price list table in the destination, and validated against source invoices for key accounts post-migration.
Datacor ERP
Vendor / Supplier
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier
1:1Datacor Vendors store CUPS (Complex Unit Price Schedules), rebate logic, and multi-source purchasing flags. These map to Infor CloudSuite Supplier records with rebate logic preserved as custom properties or supplier agreements. Multi-source flags are mapped to Infor's approved supplier list configuration.
Datacor ERP
Purchase Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Open Purchase Orders are mapped line-by-line with delivery schedules. We flag partially-received POs as exceptions: depending on the customer's preference, these are held open in the destination or closed manually post-migration after receiving is confirmed against physical inventory. PO headers carry vendor references that must resolve to the migrated Supplier records.
Datacor ERP
Sales Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Datacor Sales Orders carry customer-product pricing, freight terms, and shipping method logic tied to Datacor's truck routing module. These map to Infor CloudSuite Sales Order records with pricing resolved against the customer price list created during Customer migration. Orders with partial shipment are flagged for manual review post-migration. Order headers reference migrated Customer and Product records.
Datacor ERP
Production Order / Batch
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Production Order
1:1Datacor batch production orders include formula versions, scheduled start and end times, and consumption and yield records. We flag in-process batches that cannot be safely cut over and advise running them to completion or formal closure before migration day. Formula versions map to Infor production order recipe references, and consumption records map to the corresponding material allocation lines in Infor's production order structure.
Datacor ERP
Quality Control Inspection
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Quality Management Record
1:1QC inspection records link to Datacor Lots and Items with inspection history, disposition decisions (accept, reject, rework), and certificate-of-analysis data. These map to Infor CloudSuite's quality management module or custom QC tables depending on the destination edition's capabilities. Disposition history and COA references migrate with the lot record.
Datacor ERP
General Ledger / Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Account
1:1Datacor's full GL structure with accounts, departments, cost centers, and journal entry history migrates directly to Infor CloudSuite. The account hierarchy maps to Infor's GL segment structure. Journal entries with posting dates and amounts are preserved for historical financial reporting. Multi-currency and multi-language entries are supported in both systems and map directly.
Datacor ERP
Accounts Receivable / Payable
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR Invoice / AP Voucher
1:1Open AR and AP records with payment terms and discount schedules migrate as open invoices and vouchers in Infor CloudSuite. We flag records with outstanding credits, holds, or partial payments as exceptions requiring manual review before migration. Post-dated and partially-applied transactions are held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's AP/AR team to resolve.
Datacor ERP
Plant Maintenance / Asset
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Asset / Maintenance Work Order
1:1Datacor equipment records with maintenance schedules, work orders, and asset specifications map to Infor CloudSuite's asset management module. Maintenance schedules, work order history, and asset specifications transfer to Infor Asset records. Open work orders are flagged for completion or deferral depending on the customer's go-live plan.
Datacor ERP
Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
SDS / Compliance Record (manual re-link)
1:1SDS records are regulatory artifacts managed in Datacor's regulatory module. We do not migrate SDS documents as files. We migrate the Item-to-SDS linkage (item number and SDS document reference), flag it as a post-migration re-linking task, and document the compliance module configuration required in Infor CloudSuite. This is a manual step the customer's compliance team must complete before regulatory audit readiness.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and extraction feasibility
We audit the source Datacor ERP environment including version, deployment type (on-premise or hosted), database access availability, third-party add-ons, and custom fields. We coordinate with the customer's Datacor administrator to confirm export paths (direct database read-only access or in-app file export) and assess table structures. We extract record counts for Items, Customers, Vendors, Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Production Orders, Lots, QC inspections, GL accounts, AR/AP records, and Plant Maintenance assets. We also generate the open production order report to identify in-process batches that must be completed before migration day.
Infor CloudSuite schema design and pricing matrix planning
We work with the customer's Infor implementation team to design the destination schema in Infor CloudSuite. This includes provisioning user-defined fields for Datacor extended attributes (shelf-life, formula references, custom lot attributes), configuring the GL account hierarchy, setting up the BOM and formula structures for the destination industry edition, and planning the customer-specific pricing matrix as custom fields or price list tables. We also identify the Infor CloudSuite industry edition deployed (Industrial, Distribution, Food and Beverage, Process, etc.) since compliance tooling and QC module capabilities vary.
Data cleanup and transaction closure
We provide the customer with a data cleanup checklist including items with duplicate or missing SKUs, inactive customers and vendors, orphaned lot records, and unreconciled AR/AP balances. The customer completes data cleanup in Datacor. All open production orders must be run to completion or formally closed. All unpaid invoices, vouchers, and journals must be posted. No new transactions may be created in Datacor after the data extraction begins. We schedule a final extraction date with the Datacor administrator to capture the clean, fully-posted state.
Extraction, staging, and transformation
We extract normalized data from Datacor via the agreed export path (database dump or in-app export) and stage it in our migration pipeline. We transform Items with BOM structures, extract the full customer-product pricing matrix, preserve lot genealogy chains, and extract QC inspection and disposition history. We validate record counts against the discovery audit and flag any discrepancies before moving to the Infor migration database setup. Custom fields unique to the customer's Datacor configuration are mapped to Infor user-defined fields or extension tables.
Infor migration database setup and preliminary data transfer
We set up the Infor CloudSuite migration database and specify import parameters to connect to the extracted Datacor data. We configure Import Source Tables and Import Target Tables for any fields not covered by Infor's standard migration template. On the Import Steps form, we review the preconfigured mappings and sequences and add any custom mappings required for the customer's Datacor data. We run a preliminary data transfer and generate a Data Assessment Report to identify transformation issues, missing prerequisite data, and format mismatches before production migration.
Production migration and post-migration compliance handoff
We run production migration in dependency order: GL accounts first, then Customers (with pricing tiers), Vendors, Items (with BOMs), Lots (with genealogy resolved), Production Orders, Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, AR/AP records, QC inspections, and Plant Maintenance assets. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We do not migrate SDS documents; we deliver a compliance module re-linkage checklist for the customer's regulatory team. We deliver a written inventory of Datacor workflows, automations, and custom reports for the Infor implementation team to rebuild. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised post-go-live.
