Overview
e-Emphasys ERP organizes equipment dealership data around a dealer-centric model: business partners, parts inventory with serial tracking, work orders tied to equipment records, rental contracts with rate scheduling, and service history linked to customer accounts. The platform stores OEM integration data, warranty claims, and dealer-specific fields that have no native equivalent in Acumatica's more generalist schema. Acumatica structures its data using Data Access Classes (DACs) — AR301000 for customers, AP301000 for vendors, IN202000 for inventory items, and SM201520 for service management. Custom fields are added to DACs via customization projects and stored either as database columns or in the NameValue pair table. The platform prices by commercial transaction volume (CTV) across orders, invoices, and shipments rather than by named user seats. We migrate e-Emphasys business partners to Acumatica customers, parts to inventory items, work orders to service orders, and rental contracts to subscription management or custom equipment records. Custom dealer properties become Acumatica custom fields on the appropriate DACs. OEM integration configurations, automated workflow sequences, and dealer-specific approval chains do not migrate — we export those definitions as reference documentation for your Acumatica implementation team to rebuild using Acumatica's customization framework or connected third-party tools. The migration uses a staged API export from e-Emphasys, followed by Acumatica import via REST endpoints or bulk CSV loading depending on record volume. A 24–48 hour delta pickup window captures any changes made in e-Emphasys during the cutover period.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a e-Emphasys 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.
e-Emphasys ERP
Business Partner (Customer)
Acumatica
Customer (AR303000)
1:1e-Emphasys business partners with customer type map directly to Acumatica customers. Address records, contact information, and credit terms transfer to the Acumatica customer DAC. Primary branch assignment from e-Emphasys maps to the Customer Branch field. Multi-branch dealers require separate customer records per location.
e-Emphasys ERP
Business Partner (Vendor)
Acumatica
Vendor (AP303000)
1:1e-Emphasys vendors with supplier type map directly to Acumatica vendors in the AP303000 screen. Vendor terms, payment methods, and 1099 tax configuration transfer as vendor attributes within the vendor DAC. Remit-to addresses and multiple pay-to locations are preserved as separate vendor location records in Acumatica, maintaining the complete payment routing structure from e-Emphasys.
e-Emphasys ERP
Contact
Acumatica
Contact (CR302000)
1:1e-Emphasys contact records attach to business partners and map to Acumatica contacts linked via the CustomerID lookup field. Contact roles (primary, billing, service, shipping) are preserved as contact class attributes in Acumatica's contact DAC. Multiple contacts per business partner are fully supported in both systems, allowing dealers to maintain all relevant personnel relationships.
e-Emphasys ERP
Parts / Inventory Item
Acumatica
Inventory Item (IN202000)
1:1e-Emphasys parts with serialized tracking require mapping to Acumatica's lot/serial numbered inventory model. Non-serialized parts map directly to stock items. e-Emphasys bin locations map to Acumatica warehouse sublocations. Parts categories from e-Emphasys become inventory product families and product lines in Acumatica.
e-Emphasys ERP
Equipment Record
Acumatica
Non-Stock Item / Custom Equipment DAC
1:1e-Emphasys equipment records with serial numbers, hour meters, and warranty status have no native Acumatica equivalent. We migrate equipment records as non-stock items with custom fields for hour-meter reading, warranty expiration, and OEM model number. Acumatica Rental Edition customers can use subscription records with custom fields for rental rate and contract terms.
e-Emphasys ERP
Work Order
Acumatica
Service Order (FS300200)
1:1e-Emphasys service work orders map to Acumatica service orders using the Field Service module. Technician assignments, labor hours, and parts consumed on service calls transfer to service order lines. Open work orders from e-Emphasys become service orders with the appropriate dispatch status in Acumatica.
e-Emphasys ERP
Rental Contract
Acumatica
Subscription / Non-Stock Item with Custom Fields
1:1e-Emphasys rental contracts with rate schedules, reservation calendars, and customer-specific pricing require custom subscription-style records in Acumatica. Contract start/end dates, rate codes, and damage waiver flags migrate as custom fields on the equipment non-stock item or a dedicated rental contract custom DAC.
e-Emphasys ERP
Quote / Sales Quote
Acumatica
Quote (SS301000)
1:1e-Emphasys sales quotes transfer to Acumatica quotes in screen SS301000, preserving line items, pricing, and expiration dates. Quote status states (pending, accepted, expired, lost) map to corresponding Acumatica quote workflow states. Multi-line quotes with part-number and labor splits preserve the full structure as quote detail lines, maintaining pricing breakdowns and optional items.
e-Emphasys ERP
Sales Order
Acumatica
Sales Order (SO301000)
1:1e-Emphasys sales orders map to Acumatica sales orders in the SO301000 screen with customer reference, line items, quantities, and pricing details. Warehouse fulfillment assignments transfer as shipment details linked to the order. Order status flags and hold indicators map to corresponding Acumatica sales order workflow states for accurate order lifecycle tracking.
e-Emphasys ERP
Purchase Order
Acumatica
Purchase Order (PO301000)
1:1e-Emphasys purchase orders map to Acumatica purchase orders in PO301000 with vendor reference, line items, expected quantities, and landed costs. Drop-ship assignments and special ordering flags transfer as purchase order details. Open PO status from e-Emphasys maps to Acumatica PO pending receipt status, maintaining purchasing workflow continuity.
e-Emphasys ERP
Invoice / AR Invoice
Acumatica
Invoice (AR301000)
1:1e-Emphasys invoices transfer to Acumatica invoices in the AR301000 screen with customer reference, line items, amounts, and payment terms. Payment application history from e-Emphasys is preserved as payment entries in Acumatica's cash management module. Historical invoices maintain their original posting dates and reference numbers for complete audit trail continuity.
e-Emphasys ERP
Warranty Claim
Acumatica
Case (CR404000) with Custom Fields
1:1e-Emphasys warranty claims have no direct Acumatica equivalent. We migrate warranty claims as cases linked to the equipment non-stock item in the CR404000 screen, with custom fields for claim type, OEM reference number, coverage status, and resolution. The full claim history preserves the complete audit trail from initial submission through final resolution.
e-Emphasys ERP
GL Account
Acumatica
Account (GL202500)
1:1e-Emphasys GL accounts map directly to Acumatica accounts in the GL202500 screen with account code, description, and active status preserved. Account type classifications (asset, liability, equity, income, expense) transfer as the Acumatica account class attribute. Sub-account structures from e-Emphasys map to Acumatica segmentation dimensions for flexible reporting hierarchies.
e-Emphasys ERP
Custom Dealer Property
Acumatica
Custom Field on Target DAC
1:1e-Emphasys custom dealer properties unique to equipment dealerships (such as floor plan lender information, dealer classification codes, OEM program membership tiers, or equipment acquisition sources) are added as Acumatica custom fields to the appropriate DAC. Each custom property requires a separate DAC customization project in Acumatica to be defined and published before data can populate those fields.

Migration approach
Inventory e-Emphasys data model and map to Acumatica DACs
We extract a full schema export from e-Emphasys covering all active entities — business partners, contacts, parts, equipment records, work orders, rental contracts, invoices, GL accounts, and custom dealer properties. We then produce a detailed mapping document that identifies each target Acumatica DAC (AR303000 for customers, IN202000 for inventory, FS300200 for service orders, GL202500 for accounts) and specifies custom field requirements for equipment, rental, and warranty data. This document is reviewed by your Acumatica developer before any data moves, ensuring the DAC customization project is staged and published before migration data arrives.
Stage Acumatica customization project for custom fields
Based on the mapping document from Step 1, your Acumatica developer or our team creates the DAC customization project in the Acumatica Customization Project Editor. This includes: custom fields on InventoryItem for equipment serial number, hour-meter, warranty expiration, and OEM model; custom fields on the subscription or non-stock item for rental contract terms; custom fields on the Case DAC for warranty claim type and OEM reference; and any custom fields for dealer-specific properties on the Customer DAC. The project is published to a staging environment first to validate field behavior before production data load.
Run staged export and sample migration with field-level diff
We extract data from e-Emphasys in staged sequence: GL accounts and customer classes first, then customers and vendors, then inventory and equipment, then open work orders and rental contracts, then historical invoices and orders. A representative sample (typically 200–500 records spanning each entity type) migrates first into your Acumatica staging tenant. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source and destination values, including custom field population, rental contract date ranges, and equipment hour-meter readings. You verify the sample before committing to the full migration run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Once the sample diff is approved, we execute the full migration across all record types in dependency order. For multi-branch dealers, warehouse inventory quantities are loaded per Acumatica warehouse entity. Active rental contracts are loaded with their rate codes and date ranges. Open work orders become service orders in Acumatica Field Service with the appropriate dispatch status. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window runs concurrently — any records created or modified in e-Emphasys during the cutover period are captured in a second pass and applied to Acumatica before final reconciliation. An audit log captures every import operation, and one-click rollback is available if the reconciliation check fails.
Deliver OEM integration reference and workflow export documentation
After data migration is complete, we deliver three documentation packages: (1) OEM integration configuration export with endpoint URLs, credential types, and sync frequency settings from e-Emphasys for use in rebuilding Acumatica EDI or API connections; (2) e-Emphasys workflow and automation sequence definitions exported as reference documents for your Acumatica developer to rebuild using Acumatica screen-based workflows and business event handlers; and (3) a post-migration reconciliation report showing record counts by entity, any records that skipped import due to validation errors, and the resolution actions taken. Your team retains scoped read access to e-Emphasys during the delta window to handle any in-flight service tickets or rental reservations that require manual follow-up.
