Overview

What this migration involves

Companies move from eFacto ERP to Acumatica when their business has outgrown eFacto's deployment model — typically because the team needs mobile-first access, multi-branch visibility, or a platform with a documented REST API and an active ISV ecosystem. eFacto's data model centers on Customers, Vendors, Items, Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, and a General Ledger with optional multi-location inventory. Acumatica mirrors most of these concepts but uses a Company-and-Branch structure instead of flat entity codes, distinguishes Stock Items from Non-Stock Items, and requires Payment Terms and UOM Schedules to be configured as system-level lookup tables rather than stored as inline fields. We extract eFacto data through its export and reporting layer and load it into Acumatica using Acumatica's import screens (Customers, Vendors, Items, Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, GL) and REST API for batch operations. We surface eFacto-specific custom fields as Acumatica Usr- prefixed custom fields on the matching screens. Workflows, approval chains, email templates, and custom business logic built in eFacto do not migrate — these must be rebuilt in Acumatica's Screen-based workflows, Business Events, and Generic Inquiry framework. Our migration delivers a test-pass with field-level diff, a delta window for in-flight records, and an audit log with rollback capability.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

eFacto ERP logo

eFacto ERP

What's pushing teams away

  • Pricing is opaque — no public per-user or per-module rates; sales team contact required, creating friction during vendor evaluation.
  • Limited public API documentation makes custom integrations and automated data extraction difficult, forcing reliance on vendor-provided exports.
  • Smaller vendor footprint compared to global ERP platforms raises concerns about long-term product roadmap and support SLAs for enterprise-scale deployments.

Choosing

Acumatica logo

Acumatica

What's pulling them in

  • Unlimited user licensing lets companies add staff without per-seat billing shocks, making Acumatica cost-predictable at scale.
  • Flexibility and scalability earn consistent praise — users value a platform that adapts to vertical workflows without forcing a redesign.
  • Real-time visibility across financials, inventory, and projects gives mid-market businesses a consolidated operational view previously available only in enterprise-tier ERPs.
  • Cloud-native architecture with automatic updates removes infrastructure management burden from in-house IT teams.
  • Modular licensing lets companies start with one or two suites (Financials, Distribution) and expand into Manufacturing or CRM incrementally.

Object mapping

How eFacto ERP objects map to Acumatica

Each row shows how a eFacto 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.

eFacto ERP

Customer

maps to

Acumatica

Customer (AR303000)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto Customer maps directly to Acumatica Customer master (AR303000 screen). We import the customer code, name, class, status, billing address, shipping address, and primary contact. eFacto customer-specific payment terms map to Acumatica TermsID lookups that we configure before import. Contact-person records migrate to Acumatica's Contact (CR302000) screen and are linked to the parent Customer record.

eFacto ERP

Vendor

maps to

Acumatica

Vendor (AP303000)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto Vendor maps to Acumatica Vendor master (AP303000). The vendor code, name, status, address, tax registration ID, and payment terms migrate. Acumatica's Payment Terms must be pre-created as TermsID records matching eFacto's term codes. Remit-to addresses in eFacto become Acumatica Vendor locations. Contact persons on the vendor side migrate as Acumatica Contacts linked to the Vendor record.

eFacto ERP

Stock Item

maps to

Acumatica

Stock Item (IN202000)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto stock items with warehouse tracking become Acumatica Stock Items (IN202000). The item code, description, item type (finished goods, raw material), UOM, and cost layers migrate. eFacto's unit of measure codes map to Acumatica's UOM Schedule defined under IN101000 before the item import. eFacto's stock item attributes (size, color, style) are evaluated for Acumatica matrix-item setup if the item count justifies the schema complexity.

eFacto ERP

Non-Stock Item / Service Item

maps to

Acumatica

Non-Stock Item (IN202000)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto non-stock items and service items map to Acumatica Non-Stock Items using the same IN202000 screen with Item Type set to Non-Stock. These items are available for purchase and sales but excluded from warehouse tracking. eFacto's service-item flag is preserved as the Non-Stock item type in Acumatica.

eFacto ERP

Purchase Order

maps to

Acumatica

Purchase Order (PO301000)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto Purchase Orders migrate to Acumatica Purchase Orders (PO301000). The PO number, vendor reference, status, order date, expected delivery date, shipping terms, and branch assignment migrate. Line items include the item code (linked to the Acumatica item record), order quantity, unit cost, and warehouse. eFacto's freight and tax amounts are imported as line-level extras and totals.

eFacto ERP

Sales Order

maps to

Acumatica

Sales Order (SO301000)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto Sales Orders migrate to Acumatica Sales Orders (SO301000). Order number, customer reference, order type, status, date, branch, and payment terms migrate. Line items carry the item code, quantity, unit price, discount, tax, and warehouse. eFacto's order-specific custom fields are captured as Acumatica Usr- custom fields on the SO301000 screen. Back-ordered lines are imported with the original back-order reference.

eFacto ERP

Purchase Receipt

maps to

Acumatica

Purchase Receipt (PO302000)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto Goods Received Notes against purchase orders map to Acumatica Purchase Receipts (PO302000). The receipt number, date, vendor, PO reference, and branch are imported. Received quantities update Acumatica's inventory on-hand for the target warehouse. If eFacto tracks lot or serial numbers at receipt, those migrate to Acumatica's Lot/Serial classes assigned to the item.

eFacto ERP

Sales Invoice

maps to

Acumatica

Sales Invoice (AR301000)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto sales invoices migrate to Acumatica AR Invoices (AR301000). Invoice number, customer, invoice date, due date, payment terms, branch, and invoice totals migrate. Line items include item, quantity, unit price, tax, and discount. eFacto invoice adjustments and credit memos migrate as separate AR Adjustment documents in Acumatica. Original eFacto invoice dates are preserved in a custom field for audit continuity.

eFacto ERP

Vendor Bill

maps to

Acumatica

Vendor Bill (AP301000)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto vendor invoices and debit memos map to Acumatica Vendor Bills (AP301000). Bill number, vendor, bill date, due date, TermsID, and line amounts migrate. Hold and open statuses are preserved. Prepayments and credit memos are imported as separate AP Adjustment documents. eFacto's GL distribution lines are evaluated against Acumatica's account segments to map eFacto cost centers to Acumatica branches or subaccounts.

eFacto ERP

Chart of Accounts / GL Account

maps to

Acumatica

GL Account (GL202500)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto GL accounts map to Acumatica GL Account codes (GL202500). Account number, description, type (Asset, Liability, Equity, Income, Expense), active status, and posting class migrate. eFacto cost center codes map to Acumatica subaccounts or branch segments depending on the Acumatica configuration. Account-based tax categories are assigned to matching Acumatica tax categories if eFacto stores VAT/GST codes on the account.

eFacto ERP

GL Journal Entry

maps to

Acumatica

Journal Transaction (GL301000)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto journal entries (manual adjustments, recurring entries, opening balances) migrate to Acumatica Journal Transactions (GL301000). Entry date, description, batch reference, and all debit/credit lines with accounts and amounts migrate. Original entry numbers and creation timestamps are preserved in custom fields for audit traceability. Reversing entries in eFacto become Acumatica reversing journal entries with the original-Entry-ID custom field cross-referenced.

eFacto ERP

Custom Field / Extended Property

maps to

Acumatica

Custom Field (Usr-prefixed on target screen)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto custom fields on any standard entity (Customer, Vendor, Item, Order) are inventoried during the assessment phase. Each eFacto custom field gets an Acumatica Usr-prefixed custom field created on the corresponding Acumatica screen via the Customization Project editor. Field data type is mapped: text to String, number to Decimal, date to Date, pick-list to Acumatica Daclass field with value mapping. Custom field definitions must exist before data import runs.

eFacto ERP

Warehouse / Location

maps to

Acumatica

Branch + Warehouse (IN204000)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto's warehouse or location codes map to Acumatica's branch-and-warehouse hierarchy. Each eFacto location becomes an Acumatica Branch (LM101000) with an assigned Warehouse (IN204000). If eFacto uses a flat warehouse structure, we map each warehouse directly to an Acumatica warehouse. Multi-branch setups in eFacto require a pre-migration session to define how eFacto company codes map to Acumatica branches and which branch is set as the default for the GL.

eFacto ERP

Payment Terms

maps to

Acumatica

Payment Terms (CA205000)

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto payment term codes (Net 30, 2/10 Net 30, etc.) do not exist as records in eFacto — they are stored as field values. We extract all unique payment term codes used across customers and vendors, then create matching Acumatica Payment Terms records (CA205000) with the same description, due days, and cash-discount rules. The TermsID on each imported customer and vendor record is then set to the matching Acumatica term.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Acumatica Company-Branch hierarchy requires pre-migration schema design

    Acumatica enforces a Company-and-Branch structure at the database level. Every record — customer, vendor, order, inventory — must be assigned to a branch at import time. eFacto customers who use multiple eFacto company codes (separate legal entities) will find that Acumatica models these as separate Branches under one Tenant. The migration plan must decide before data lands: which eFacto entity maps to which Acumatica Branch, what the GL intercompany account is, and whether shared customers across entities should be merged or duplicated per branch. This decision drives the entire import sequencing and cannot be reversed after customer and vendor records are committed.

  • UOM Schedule creation is a prerequisite for item import

    Acumatica does not allow items to be imported until the associated Unit of Measure Schedule is defined under IN101000. eFacto stores a simple UOM code on the item record, but Acumatica requires a full UOM Schedule (the base unit and any conversion units) to be attached to each item. If eFacto uses non-standard UOMs — cases-per-layer, dozen-per-carton, kg-per-bag — each schedule must be created in Acumatica before item import runs. The migration plan must inventory all eFacto UOM codes in the assessment phase and create matching Acumatica UOM Schedules first.

  • eFacto multi-location inventory requires branch-and-warehouse mapping decisions upfront

    eFacto handles multi-location inventory with warehouse codes on the item or transaction level. Acumatica models location as a Branch (legal or operational unit) plus a Warehouse (physical location) combination, with availability tracked per warehouse. The mapping between eFacto warehouse codes and Acumatica branch-warehouse pairs must be documented in the migration plan before any inventory-on-hand or transaction data is imported. There is no default collapse — if eFacto has five warehouses, Acumatica needs five warehouse records with branch assignments, and every item and transaction must reference the correct one.

  • eFacto lacks a documented public API — extraction method affects data completeness

    eFacto does not expose a versioned REST or SOAP API covering all standard entities. The primary extraction path is the application export function or direct database read. Export functions may truncate long text fields, omit inactive records, or drop custom field data in certain eFacto versions. Direct database access, where available, requires read credentials and schema knowledge specific to the eFacto database version. FlitStack AI's assessment phase includes a data-completeness audit of the chosen extraction method against a representative record sample to identify gaps before the migration plan is finalized.

  • Workflows, approval chains, and custom business logic do not migrate

    eFacto workflows (purchase approval chains, multi-step order workflows, email-triggered alerts) and any custom business logic written in eFacto's configuration layer have no Acumatica equivalent and do not carry over. Acumatica's workflow engine uses Screen-based Workflows (configured under SM205020) and Business Events for alert routing — these are re-implemented from scratch. FlitStack AI can export eFacto workflow rule definitions as a written reference document for the Acumatica implementation team to use during the workflow rebuild phase.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful eFacto ERP to Acumatica data migration

  1. Assess eFacto data model and extraction method

    We inventory all eFacto entities in scope: customers, vendors, items, purchase orders, sales orders, GL accounts, journal entries, and any custom fields on those entities. We evaluate the available extraction method — application export, direct database read, or hybrid — and run a data-completeness audit against a sample of each entity type. This produces a data inventory spreadsheet that identifies which fields exist, which are populated, and which are candidates for Acumatica custom fields (Usr-prefixed on the target screen).

  2. Configure Acumatica schema: branches, warehouses, UOM schedules, payment terms

    Before any data moves, we configure the Acumatica destination: create all required Branches under LM101000, define Warehouse records under IN204000 and link them to branches, build UOM Schedules under IN101000 for every unit of measure used in eFacto, and create Payment Terms under CA205000 to match every eFacto payment term code. This phase also includes creating any Usr-prefixed custom fields identified in the assessment, added via the Customization Project editor so they exist before the import screens run.

  3. Seed master data: customers and vendors before orders

    Acumatica enforces referential integrity — customers must exist before sales orders can reference them, and vendors must exist before purchase orders and bills. We run the master-data migration first: Customers (AR303000), Vendors (AP303000), Stock Items and Non-Stock Items (IN202000), and GL Accounts (GL202500). For each entity, we run a sample import of 50–100 records, generate a field-level diff comparing eFacto source values to the Acumatica destination values, and validate with the client before committing the full master-data load.

  4. Import transactional documents: POs, receipts, SO, invoices, GL journal entries

    With master data seeded, we import purchase orders (PO301000), purchase receipts (PO302000), sales orders (SO301000), AR invoices (AR301000), AP bills (AP301000), and GL journal transactions (GL301000) in the correct dependency order. Branch and warehouse assignments are applied per line item. eFacto document numbers are preserved in Usr- custom fields on each document type for traceability. A field-level diff report is generated after each document-type import, and the client validates totals (open PO value, open AR, open AP, GL trial-balance totals) before the next type is imported.

  5. Run delta migration and cutover validation

    After the full test migration is validated, we open a delta window (typically 24–48 hours) during which eFacto continues to accept new orders and receipts. Any records created or modified in eFacto during this window are extracted and imported into Acumatica. A final reconciliation report compares eFacto open-order counts, AR/AP aging, and inventory on-hand against the same figures in Acumatica. Once the client signs off on the reconciliation, the cutover is confirmed. The FlitStack AI audit log captures every record imported with timestamps, and one-click rollback is available if post-go-live checks reveal unexpected discrepancies.

A typical eFacto-to-Acumatica migration takes 7–14 days of clock time for datasets under 25,000 records covering customers, vendors, items, and orders. Multi-branch setups with 100,000+ transactional records, extensive eFacto custom fields, or matrix-item configurations extend to 4–6 weeks. The longest single phase is typically the Acumatica schema configuration (branches, warehouses, UOM schedules, payment terms) which must be completed before any data import begins.
