Migrate your Deacom ERP data
Single-database ERP built exclusively for batch and process manufacturers in food, chemical, health & beauty, and pharma — all modules written into the core without add-ons.
In its favor
Why people choose Deacom ERP
The signal that keeps Deacom ERP on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
All-in-one batch manufacturing ERP with no add-ons — financials, production, quality, warehousing, and formulation sit in one database without third-party modules.
Trusted by 200+ process manufacturers for strict lot traceability, FDA compliance workflows, and catch-weight inventory management across the food, chemical, and pharma verticals.
Real-time GL postings and drill-down from accounting summaries to transactional audit trails with no batch delays.
Per-module pricing starting at $1,655 per module plus user licenses with flat-rate setup fees — no surprises on implementation onboarding costs.
Multi-currency and multi-facility support built natively, enabling multi-entity manufacturers to consolidate without bolt-on accounting layers.
Not user-friendly — reviewers report significant trial-and-error learning curve, with department-specific workflows that require formal training rather than intuitive discovery.
Support quality is inconsistent — tickets get closed without resolution, and reaching the data or development team for persistent bugs is difficult.
Implementation is described as unorganized with multiple consultants stepping in and out, causing scope creep and extended timelines beyond quoted periods.
Product felt unfinished to some customers — frequent changes and new releases with inadequate stability testing between versions.
Tracking leads and generating pricing sheets are pain points for sales-facing users; the CRM module lacks depth compared to purpose-built sales platforms.

What gets migrated
Deacom ERP object support
Object-by-object support for Deacom ERP migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Items (dmprod — Item Master)
Fully supportedThe Item Master table (dmprod) uses pr_id as a sequential integer primary key. We export all item records including UOM definitions, catch-weight settings, and facility restrictions in a single pass. Item IDs are stable integers, making them reliable foreign-key targets in downstream object exports.
Formulations / BOMs
Fully supportedBill of Materials are stored per Item per Revision with support for default, lab-only, and regulatory-only BOMs. The BOM revision system (versioned via the BOM form's active/default flags) requires we export BOM records in revision-date order so the destination can reconstruct the current formulation state without orphaned component links.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomer records (dmcust) use cu_id as the primary key. We export customer hierarchies, credit terms, and customer-part associations (dmcust cross-links). Customer-specific pricing sheets are stored as separate dt-type records and must be sequenced after the customer header during import.
Vendors
Fully supportedVendor master data uses a naming convention consistent with dm-type maintenance tables. We export vendor records including purchasing lead times, preferred UOMs, and vendor-specific part cross-references. Vendors are required to pre-exist before we can import purchase orders that reference them.
Production Orders / Jobs
Fully supportedProduction orders are dt-type transaction records that reference the Item (pr_id) and BOM revision. We export job costing, routing steps, and labor tracking entries. Open production orders must be handled separately from closed historical jobs — open orders may require destination-side status mapping.
Quality Control Tests
Mapping requiredQC tests are set up per Item/Revision and stored with cross-references to dmd3 pick-list UDF options. The QC test schema (threshold values, test types, pass/fail criteria) varies by facility. We map test definitions field-by-field and flag any test that references custom UDF pick-lists for explicit destination configuration.
Lot/Serial Traceability
Fully supportedDeacom stores lot numbers and shelf-life dates at the inventory transaction level. We export lot genealogy records with parent-child lot relationships for co-manufactured or bulk-split scenarios. Serialized tracking uses the same dt transaction table, requiring we join lot output records to production order completions.
Inventory Transactions
Fully supportedAll inventory movements — receipts, issues, adjustments, and transfers — live in dt-type tables linked to Items and lots. We sequence these in timestamp order and exclude any records that reference lots not yet exported. Multi-facility transfers require facility IDs to be remapped at the destination.
General Ledger / Journal Entries
Fully supportedGL postings are real-time and drill-down to dt transaction level. We export account codes, journal line items, and source document references (AR/AP/inventory). Custom financial statements per company structure require us to also export the dx-type reporting configuration records.
AP/AR
Fully supportedAccounts payable and receivable modules integrate directly with the GL. We export open invoices, payment applications, credit memos, and aging details. Multi-currency AR requires we also export exchange rate history linked to the ECB or Bank of Canada API feed records.
Custom UDF Pick-List Options (dmd3)
Mapping requiredUser-defined fields use dmd3 for pick-list options, which reference dxcaption2 via d3_c2guid links. These _guid references are system-generated and non-transferable across databases. We export the option labels and flag the guid-based links for manual destination reconfiguration.
EDI / Document Records
Mapping requiredEDI transaction records are stored as document references linked to trading partner setups. We export EDI mapping configurations and functional acknowledgements but note that EDI translation rules are partner-specific and may require destination EDI platform re-mapping.
Sales Orders
Fully supportedSales order headers and lines are dt-type records referencing Customers, Items, and pricing. We export order status (open/fulfilled/invoiced) and handle drop-ship and DSD (Direct Store Delivery) orders as distinct line-level flags.
Mobile App Data
Not in this platformDeacom's iOS and Android mobile apps for sales and warehouse use cached local data that is not persisted to exportable database tables independently. Mobile-specific notes and offline entries are not available as standalone export objects — they merge into the parent CRM or inventory records when synced.
