Overview
Migrating from EF Enterprise to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial is an architectural crossing rather than a like-for-like record copy. EF Enterprise stores event data in a Salesforce-native hierarchy where Exhibitions contain Booths, Booths reference Sponsors, and Registrations attach to both. Infor Cloudsuite Industrial follows a standard ERP object model: Business Partners, Items, Projects, and financial transactions, none of which have a direct exhibit-management analog. We handle this by decomposing the event hierarchy into ERP-compatible structures, mapping Exhibitions to a Project hierarchy with custom fields, Sponsors to Business Partners with supplementary contact records, and Booths to Project cost-line entries with location metadata. The Salesforce-to-ION data path requires schema export access to EF Enterprise's custom fields, sequential import sequencing (master data before transactional data) enforced by Infor's Data Migration Utility, and a deliberate decision about historical data scope because loading years of event history into a transactional ERP database has performance implications. Badge print triggers that fire on record insert are disabled before any registration records are loaded. Workflows, automations, and event-specific configurations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's implementation team to configure in Infor CloudSuite post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a EF Enterprise 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.
EF Enterprise
Exhibition
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project (FSP) + Custom fields
1:manyEF Enterprise Exhibitions (event name, dates, venue, status) map to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial Projects using the FSP (Financials Supply Chain Production) module. Each Exhibition becomes a Project header with start/end dates from the EF Enterprise dates, venue name in a custom Project description field, and Exhibition status (Active, Archived, Cancelled) mapped to a custom Project status picklist. Multi-day exhibitions with concurrent tracks are split into separate Project tasks within the Project hierarchy. The Project ID is generated from the EF Enterprise Exhibition ID with a prefix for traceability.
EF Enterprise
Booth
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project Cost Line + Warehouse/Location
1:manyEF Enterprise Booth records (booth number, size, zone, per-booth pricing) map to Project Cost Lines within the parent Exhibition Project using the Project module's cost reporting structure. Booth size in square feet migrates as a quantity field on the cost line; zone assignment migrates as a location reference in the Warehouse Management module (WMS) if the Infor destination includes WMS. Booth pricing from custom EF Enterprise fields migrates as a cost amount on the Project Cost Line. Each Booth retains its Exhibition parent reference via the Project-Phase linkage.
EF Enterprise
Sponsor
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Supplier and/or Customer) + Contact
1:manyEF Enterprise Sponsors map to Infor Cloudsuite Business Partners. Gold, Silver, Bronze tier flags from EF Enterprise custom fields migrate as a custom Business Partner classification attribute. Sponsors with booth assignments retain that relationship via a Project reference on the Business Partner (mapped through the BP-Project link if available in the destination edition). If the Sponsor is also a paying customer for registration revenue, they are provisioned as both Supplier and Customer BP types. Contact records for sponsor representatives map to the BP's Contact sub-records.
EF Enterprise
Attendee Registration
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Contact + Project Resource (or Custom Object)
lossyEF Enterprise Attendee Registrations (contact reference, session selections, badge type) map to Infor Contacts with a link to the parent Exhibition Project via Project Resources. Session selections migrate as resource bookings against the Exhibition Project. Badge type migrates as a custom Contact or Project Resource field. Early-bird pricing flags from EF Enterprise custom fields are recorded as custom price modifiers on the Project Resource. If the destination Infor edition lacks Project Resources, registrations are stored in a custom object registered in Infor Data Catalog with identifier, timestamp, and delete-indicator paths explicitly defined per Infor's schema registration requirements.
EF Enterprise
Session
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project Task or Custom Object
lossyEF Enterprise Sessions (capacity limits, track classifications, Exhibition association) map to Project Tasks within the parent Exhibition Project. Capacity limits migrate as task quantity constraints. Track classifications (keynote, breakout, workshop) migrate as task type or custom task attributes. Multi-track sessions that run concurrently are split into individual Project Tasks under a parent task representing the overall session block. If the destination Infor edition does not support the required task structure, sessions are registered as a custom object in Infor Data Catalog.
EF Enterprise
Badge Record
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project Document (or Custom Object)
lossyEF Enterprise Badge Records (attendee type, access levels, printing status) map to Project Documents or a custom object registered in Infor Data Catalog. Badge type and access level migrate as document attributes. We disable any Infor document-triggered printing workflows during migration load to prevent duplicate badge generation at cutover, mirroring the approach used for EF Enterprise badge-print triggers. Post-migration, badge printing is re-enabled as a manual verification step.
EF Enterprise
EF Enterprise Custom Fields
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Infor Custom Fields or Data Catalog Attributes
lossyEF Enterprise extends Salesforce with custom fields for exhibitor contract terms, sponsor ROI tracking, and booth pricing tiers. These custom fields are not discoverable via the standard Salesforce API without a schema export from the source org. We request the Salesforce schema export during discovery, validate every custom field against EF Enterprise's data, and recreate them as Infor custom fields on the appropriate Business Partner, Project, or Project Cost Line object. Fields that cannot map to standard Infor objects are registered as attributes in Infor Data Catalog with explicit identifier, timestamp, and delete-indicator JSON paths per Infor's custom schema registration workflow.
EF Enterprise
Owner (Salesforce User)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
User (Infor) or Business Partner
1:1EF Enterprise Owner IDs (Salesforce User records) are remapped to Infor Users using an email-match lookup table built during discovery. Inactive EF Enterprise users (archived rather than deleted per Salesforce convention) are flagged for reassignment to a designated migration User. If Infor Users are not yet provisioned in the destination tenant, Owner references are held in a reconciliation queue and resolved before any record import that requires Owner assignment on Business Partners or Project resources.
EF Enterprise
Attachment / ContentDocument
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Infor Document Management (IDM) or Data Lake
1:1EF Enterprise attachments linked to Exhibitions, Booths, and Sponsors migrate as Infor IDM (Infor Document Management) records linked to the corresponding Business Partner or Project. Floor plan PDFs and exhibitor contract documents are chunked and uploaded via Infor ION Document Exchange. Large files exceeding Infor's document size limits are migrated to the Infor Data Lake with metadata pointing to the parent Project, and a document reference is created in IDM for discoverability.
EF Enterprise
Tag / Custom Property
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Custom Picklist or Data Lake Tag
lossyEF Enterprise uses Salesforce standard tags and custom property sets for exhibitor classification. The full tag taxonomy is exported during discovery, deduplicated, and recreated as Infor custom picklist values on the relevant Business Partner or Project object. Tags used for reporting filters are registered as attributes in Infor Data Catalog and tagged on the corresponding Data Catalog objects for cross-object querying alongside financial and operational data.

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
Discovery and schema audit
We audit the source EF Enterprise Salesforce org across standard objects (Exhibition, Booth, Sponsor, Registration, Session, Badge), custom fields (via customer-provided schema export), inactive archived records, and attachment volumes. We pair this with a review of the target Infor Cloudsuite edition, available modules (FSP Project module, WMS, CRM), existing Business Partner and Project structures, and the Infor Data Catalog schema state. The discovery output is a written migration scope that explicitly lists migratable objects, unsupported custom objects, and the historical data scope decision required from the customer.
Infor Data Catalog schema registration
For each EF Enterprise object and custom field that does not map directly to a standard Infor Cloudsuite object, we register a custom schema in Infor Data Catalog. This includes defining the identifier path (unique key), timestamp path (created/updated timestamps for deduplication), delete-indicator path, and variation path for each custom object. This step requires coordination with the customer's Infor implementation partner or Infor technical team, as schema registration in a multi-tenant Infor environment requires appropriate tenant permissions.
Salesforce extraction and transformation pipeline
We extract EF Enterprise data from Salesforce using the REST API for real-time record access and the Bulk API 2.0 for large record sets (Exhibitions and Booths spanning multiple years). The transformation layer converts Salesforce IDs to Infor-compatible identifiers, decomposes the Exhibition-Booth-Sponsor hierarchy into the sequential Infor import sequences (Business Partners before Projects, Project headers before Cost Lines), and splits custom EF Enterprise field values into typed Infor custom fields. Archived (inactive) Salesforce records are surfaced in a separate queue for the customer to approve or exclude before transformation.
Infor Data Migration Utility sequencing
We run the Infor Cloudsuite Industrial Data Migration Utility in the prescribed dependency order: Business Partners (Sponsors first), Unit of Measure codes (if Booth pricing requires unit conversion), Project headers (Exhibitions), Project Cost Lines (Booths), Project Resources (Registrations), Project Tasks (Sessions), and Documents (Badge records and Attachments). Each sequence emits a Data Assessment Report and a transfer log with Source, Target, Processed, Transferred, and Error counts. Errors trigger column-rule definition reviews before the next sequence runs. This sequential approach typically adds time compared to parallel-source-system migrations because Infor enforces the dependency order.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the customer's Infor CloudSuite staging or sandbox environment using production-equivalent data volumes. The customer reconciles record counts (Business Partners in, Projects in, Project Cost Lines in, Registrations in), spot-checks mapped field values against the source Salesforce org, and validates that Exhibition-Project hierarchies and Booth-cost-line relationships are intact. Badge print triggers and any Infor document-triggered workflows are disabled during the sandbox run and re-enabled only after the customer signs off.
Production cutover and automation inventory handoff
We freeze writes to the source EF Enterprise Salesforce org during cutover, run a final delta extraction of any records modified during the migration window, and complete the Infor Data Migration Utility sequences in production. We deliver a written inventory of EF Enterprise automations (Salesforce Flows, Apex triggers, badge-print workflows) that require rebuild in Infor Cloudsuite, including trigger context, conditions, and recommended Infor Cloudsuite equivalents. Post-migration, we support a one-week hypercare window for data quality issues. We do not rebuild automations in Infor Cloudsuite as part of the standard migration scope; that is handled by the customer's Infor implementation partner.
