Overview
Moving from EBMS to Infor CloudSuite means leaving a Windows desktop ERP with no documented public API for a multi-tenant cloud platform on AWS. We handle that gap by sequencing EBMS report exports into structured files, resolving custom field definitions through read-only database enumeration, and loading into CloudSuite in dependency order starting with master data. EBMS Customers map to CloudSuite Business Partner records, Products to Item Master records, and Open Sales Orders to CloudSuite Order Management with header-line split. We sequence Vendor and Purchase Order data before Invoices so that AP aging carries the correct vendor references. We flag every EBMS customization that has no direct CloudSuite equivalent and deliver a written inventory for the customer's implementation team to rebuild post-migration. Workflows, report definitions, and eCommerce portal configurations are not migrated as code.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a EBMS 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.
EBMS
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (BPartner)
1:1EBMS Customer records export via the Customer Address for Mail Merge report or equivalent. They map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner records with the customer name, address, payment terms, and credit limits carried across. BPartner type (Customer or Both) is set based on EBMS customer type flags. Custom fields on EBMS customer records require read-only SQL enumeration during data profiling before mapping; we add them to the export report or pull them from the source database if not UI-visible.
EBMS
Product / Inventory Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Master
1:1EBMS Products and Inventory Items export via inventory reports with fields including item number, description, unit of measure, cost, list price, stock levels, and serial number tracking. They map to Infor CloudSuite Item Master records with the correct stocking type (Stocked, Non-Stocked, Service) assigned based on EBMS product type. Multi-site EBMS deployments require site-level item records to be consolidated or mapped to the appropriate CloudSuite warehouse location. Units of measure and UOM conversion factors transfer directly if EBMS has them configured.
EBMS
Sales Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order / Order Header
1:1EBMS Sales Orders export via order reports with header-level fields (order number, customer, order date, terms, salesperson) and line-level fields (item, quantity, price, discount). We split headers and lines into separate export files to match CloudSuite's order header and order line table structure. Open orders (not invoiced) are prioritized in the migration; invoiced orders carry a reference to the original order number. Pricing and discount rules are preserved as line-level values, not computed, to avoid recalculation mismatches in CloudSuite.
EBMS
Invoice / Accounts Receivable
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR Invoice / Receivables Invoice
1:1EBMS Invoices linked to customers and sales orders export via AR aging and invoice reports. We separate open AR from historical AR using a cutover date; open invoices are migrated as open items in CloudSuite with payment terms, due dates, and aging carried across. Historical invoices are migrated as posted records with the original posting date preserved. Any partial payments or credit memos attached to invoices require line-level payment application mapping.
EBMS
Purchase Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1EBMS Purchase Orders export via PO reports with header and line splits matching the CloudSuite purchase order structure. Vendor references are resolved using the EBMS vendor mapping. Custom fields on PO headers or lines require explicit mapping to CloudSuite PO extension fields if the target edition supports them. Open POs are migrated as active records; closed POs are migrated as historical records with a closed status.
EBMS
Vendor / Accounts Payable
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Vendor / AP Voucher
1:1EBMS Vendor records export via vendor reports with contact details, payment terms, and purchasing terms. They map to Infor CloudSuite Vendor records with the vendor number, name, address, and terms preserved. Open AP vouchers export separately via AP aging reports and are loaded as open payables in CloudSuite with the vendor reference resolved before invoice import. Historical AP records transfer with the original posting date and invoice reference.
EBMS
Custom Fields (UI and database-level)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Extension Fields / Custom Fields
lossyEBMS custom fields added via the Customization Designer and any developer-created database fields are enumerated during data profiling. We request read-only SQL access to the EBMS database to discover all custom field columns not visible in the standard report writer. Each custom field is typed (string, number, date, boolean, picklist) and mapped to the closest Infor CloudSuite equivalent field type. Fields with no CloudSuite counterpart are flagged in the written inventory for the customer's implementation team to configure post-migration.
EBMS
eCommerce Product Catalog
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Master + eCommerce Catalog
1:1EBMS eCommerce tiers (Essential, Select, Premium) synchronize products, availability, pricing, and images to the customer-facing website. We export product data via EBMS inventory reports and map to Infor CloudSuite Item Master records. If the customer deploys Infor Commerce or a third-party storefront, product data maps to the storefront catalog via ION. Sales history that may have been handled at the tier boundary (capped orders) is flagged as a potential data gap requiring customer confirmation.
EBMS
Customer Portal Account (B2B)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner Price List / Account Extensions
1:1EBMS B2B customer portal accounts carry price levels, payment terms, and credit visibility that map to CloudSuite Business Partner price lists and account-level configurations. We export portal account data and map the pricing tier assignments to the corresponding CloudSuite price list structure. Customer-specific pricing from EBMS requires extraction as a separate file and mapping to CloudSuite's price list detail rows per item.
EBMS
Custom Reports / Report Definitions
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Birst Reports / CloudSuite Analytics
lossyEBMS Report definitions are a configuration artifact and do not migrate as code. We export the data that reports reference during the migration, but the report layouts themselves must be rebuilt in the destination. CloudSuite customers typically rebuild reports in Birst (Infor's embedded analytics platform), CloudSuite native dashboards, or SQL-based tools. We deliver a written report inventory listing every EBMS report, the data it pulls, and the recommended Birst or CloudSuite Analytics equivalent. This is an admin rebuild task, not a data migration task.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Data profiling and EBMS report enumeration
We audit the EBMS installation across all modules in use (CRM, Inventory, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, AP/AR, Vendors, eCommerce, Customization Designer). We request read-only SQL access to enumerate database-level custom fields not visible in the standard report writer. We work with the customer's EBMS administrator to extend export reports with any missing custom fields, confirm the complete record range (all open items, full invoice history, multi-year transaction scope), and agree on a cutover date that avoids mid-period invoice splits.
Customization assessment and written inventory
We catalog every EBMS database-level extension, custom report, stored procedure, and third-party integration that touches EBMS data. Each item is classified as a standard migration (data moves as-is), a configuration task (schema created in CloudSuite before data loads), or a rebuild task (no direct equivalent in CloudSuite; documented for the customer's implementation team). This inventory is delivered as a written document before any data movement begins, so the customer can plan the rebuild scope alongside the migration timeline.
Schema design and import sequencing in CloudSuite
We design the destination schema in CloudSuite based on the EBMS entity inventory. Master data (Business Partners, Item Master, Vendors, price lists) is provisioned first because transactional records depend on these lookups. We sequence the migration in the order required by CloudSuite's referential integrity: Item Master before Orders, Vendors before Purchase Orders, Business Partners before Invoices and Sales Orders. Open AP/AR records are scoped to a cutover date so that CloudSuite carries forward the correct aging. Any CloudSuite-specific codes or GL structures that EBMS does not supply are entered manually or flagged for the customer's admin.
Sandbox staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a CloudSuite staging environment using production-equivalent data volumes before touching production. The customer's team reconciles record counts and spot-checks 25-50 records per entity against the EBMS source. Any mapping corrections, missing fields, or data-type mismatches are resolved in staging. This step prevents production-level corrections that would delay go-live. eCommerce catalog exports, portal account pricing, and multi-site item structures are validated separately in this phase.
Production migration in dependency order
With staging sign-off in place, we run production migration in the validated sequence: Item Master and vendor records first, Business Partners, open Purchase Orders, open Sales Orders, open AP and AR records, then historical transactions scoped to the agreed date range. Each entity emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Delta records created during the migration window are captured in a final sync pass before cutover. We use CloudSuite's ION BOD import pathway or the migration utility's SQL import tools depending on the target CloudSuite edition.
Cutover, final validation, and handoff
We freeze EBMS writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration pass, validate referential integrity in CloudSuite (every order has a customer, every line has an item, every invoice has a vendor reference), and hand off. We deliver the written workflow, automation, and report rebuild inventory to the customer's implementation team. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues discovered in the first production week. We do not rebuild EBMS workflows, report definitions, or eCommerce portal configurations as part of the migration scope.
