Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from eFacto ERP to Infor Cloudsuite requires extraction coordination that eFacto's undocumented-API environment makes necessary — customers must confirm read-only SQL access or vendor-assisted export before scoping begins. We sequence the migration around the Infor migration database model: Chart of Accounts loads first, followed by Customer and Vendor masters, then Item and BOM data, then open AP/AR with migration-as-of-date assignment, then open Sales and Purchase Orders, then POS aggregated receipts, then current inventory levels per warehouse. We do not migrate Documents/Attachments (stored as BLOBs with no public API) or Workflows/Automations (code does not port across ERP platforms). Custom SSRS reports are exported as RDL XML for the customer's admin to rebuild in Infor Birst or Power BI. We flag any GST/TDS jurisdiction codes that require re-mapping to Infor's tax configuration before AP/AR loads, and we set the inventory stock-as-of date to avoid carrying forward historical valuation entries that belong in the destination's period close.

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

Infor CloudSuite Corporate logo

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

What's pulling them in

  • Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific out of the box — manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and food & beverage editions ship with preconfigured workflows that reduce the need for extensive customization and accelerate time to value for operations-heavy organizations.
  • The platform's deep integration with Excel for financial reporting is frequently cited as a key productivity feature, allowing finance teams to pull data directly and make changes without leaving familiar tooling.
  • AWS-hosted multi-tenant deployment eliminates data center management for IT teams, and Infor OS provides a unified integration layer (ION) that connects the CloudSuite to third-party applications without point-to-point middleware.
  • Organizations with multi-site or multi-country operations choose Infor for its multicurrency, multilanguage, and local regulatory compliance capabilities across 175+ countries, which simplifies consolidation for global CFOs.
  • The two-tier ERP strategy positioning lets corporate headquarters run CloudSuite while subsidiaries run lighter instances, which appeals to complex organizational structures that want standardization without full replacement.

Object mapping

How eFacto ERP objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a eFacto ERP 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.

eFacto ERP

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Chart of Accounts

1:1
Mapping required

eFacto stores account codes and structures in a flat SQL-based COA with inactive account flags. We extract the account master including account code, description, account type, and GST/TDS registration codes, then map to Infor's hierarchical COA with segment support. Any inactive accounts in eFacto are flagged for reactivation in Infor before the COA migration step. Tax jurisdiction codes (GST SAC codes for services, HSN codes for goods) require re-mapping to Infor's tax configuration before AP/AR loads.

eFacto ERP

Customer

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer / Bill-To

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto Customer records include billing/shipping addresses, payment terms, GST identification numbers, and credit limits. We deduplicate by phone and email during extraction, map to Infor's Customer master with Bill-To and Ship-To split if multiple addresses exist, and preserve GSTIN numbers in the Infor tax registration fields. Payment terms map to Infor Terms of Payment codes.

eFacto ERP

Vendor

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Supplier / Vendor

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto Vendor records mirror Customer structure with additional fields for PAN/TIN registration and banking details for TDS deduction. We preserve purchase terms, outstanding PO references, and vendor-specific GSTIN. Banking details for NEFT/RTGS transfer map to Infor's payment bank account configuration. TDS rates attached to vendor records require re-configuration in Infor's tax code setup.

eFacto ERP

Item

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item / Product

1:1
Fully supported

eFacto Items carry SKU, description, unit of measure, cost, selling price, and current stock levels. We map Item types (Stock Item, Non-Stock Item, Service) to Infor Item types and preserve the eFacto SKU as the Infor Item Number. BOM structures for manufactured items are extracted as parent-component relationships and split into Infor's BOM and routing tables. Variant data (size, color, grade) splits into Infor's attribute schema if the destination edition supports configurable items.

eFacto ERP

Open AP / Open AR

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

AP Invoice / AR Invoice

1:1
Mapping required

We assign an agreed migration-as-of date and flag all open invoices and credit notes at that date. Partial payments are carried forward as open payment applications rather than being reset to zero. eFacto's GST adjustment entries for TDS deductions map to Infor's tax liability journal entries. We do not migrate fully closed periods; the destination opens its books at the migration-as-of date.

eFacto ERP

Sales Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Sales Order

1:1
Fully supported

Open Sales Orders migrate with full line-item detail linked to the corresponding Customer record. Cancelled or fulfilled orders are archived in eFacto and not imported. Order hold status and credit-hold flags from eFacto map to Infor's order-hold codes. Pricing from eFacto's price lists carries forward as Infor order prices; any expired price lists are flagged for update during UAT.

eFacto ERP

Purchase Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Purchase Order

1:1
Fully supported

Open Purchase Orders migrate with full line-item detail linked to the corresponding Vendor record. Receipt quantities received against each PO line are recorded so that Infor's receiving process can continue from the current state rather than re-receiving. Pending receipt quantities map to Infor's open PO quantity fields. Cancelled or fully received POs are archived and not imported.

eFacto ERP

POS Transaction

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Sales Receipt / AR Invoice

lossy
Fully supported

eFacto POS receipts are stored in a separate transaction log from the accounting ledger. We aggregate daily POS transactions by store and map tender type (cash, card, UPI, wallet) to Infor's payment method codes. Cash sales aggregate to a daily sales receipt journal entry; card and digital payments link to corresponding payment gateway settlement records. Each POS receipt number is mapped to the corresponding Infor journal entry in a reconciliation table the customer uses for cash drawer auditing. Shift ID and cashier ID carry as reference fields.

eFacto ERP

Inventory Stock

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Inventory On Hand

1:1
Mapping required

Current stock quantities are extracted per warehouse and per batch/lot if batch tracking is active in eFacto. We set the stock-as-of date and import current quantities as Infor inventory on-hand records. Historical valuation entries (FIFO layers, moving average cost history) are not migrated; Infor recalculates inventory valuation from the open period forward using its own costing engine. Warehouse codes from eFacto map to Infor warehouse location codes; multi-store setups require location code configuration before inventory loads.

eFacto ERP

HR / Employee

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Employee

1:1
Fully supported

Employee master records from eFacto include designation, department, and salary structure details. We map pay structures to Infor's payroll configuration and do not migrate payroll transaction history, which belongs in the destination's payroll module. Active employee status, PAN numbers for TDS, and bank account details for salary disbursement transfer to Infor HRMS if included in the destination scope. Employees with terminated status before the migration date are archived and not imported.

eFacto ERP

Documents / Attachments

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Not migrated

1:1
Not supported

eFacto stores attachments as BLOBs or file paths inside its SQL database with no documented public API to expose them as standalone files. We do not migrate attachments. We flag their location to the customer and recommend a parallel document migration using eFacto's direct SQL access or a vendor-assisted export. Attachments must be retrieved separately before the eFacto system is decommissioned.

Pair-specific challenges

  • eFacto has no public API; extraction requires SQL access or vendor coordination

    eFacto ERP does not publish API documentation, endpoint references, or bulk export specifications publicly. All data extraction must be negotiated with the vendor or performed via direct SQL queries against the backend database. We coordinate with the customer's eFacto administrator to obtain a read-only database export or report-file export, then normalize the flat-file output into our migration pipeline. Customers must confirm SQL read-only access permissions and any vendor export SLA before scoping begins. Without this confirmation, extraction timelines are uncertain and may require a formal vendor engagement that adds weeks to the project.

  • POS transaction log is separate from the G/L; linkage must be reconstructed

    eFacto POS receipts are stored in a separate transaction log from the accounting ledger. When we migrate POS data, we create a mapping table linking each POS receipt number to the corresponding journal entry created at the destination. If Infor does not auto-reconcile POS cash receipts to the bank account, the customer must run a manual matching process or a reconciliation job post-migration. We flag the receipt-to-journal linkage as a separate deliverable and validate it against the daily POS cash count reports during UAT.

  • Infor requires all prerequisite master data before transactional data loads

    Infor Cloudsuite's Migration Utility enforces a dependency order where master data (Chart of Accounts, Customers, Vendors, Items, Tax Codes, Payment Terms) must be entered or migrated before transactional data (open AP/AR, orders, inventory, POS receipts) can be loaded. Any missing prerequisite data causes the import to fail with a referential integrity error. We design the migration sequence to satisfy these dependencies, but the customer must ensure that eFacto's COA and tax configuration are fully reviewed and re-mapped before the transactional phases begin. Missing tax codes (GSTIN, SAC, HSN) are the most common delay in Indian ERP migrations.

  • Custom SSRS reports depend on eFacto stored procedures and cannot be imported

    Custom reports built with eFacto's SSRS Report Builder reference stored procedures that contain business logic specific to eFacto's SQL schema. These RDL definitions cannot be imported directly into Infor Cloudsuite. We export the RDL XML and parameter definitions as part of the migration deliverables, but the report rebuild in Infor's Birst analytics, Power BI connector, or Infor's standard report designer is outside migration scope. The customer's admin or an Infor reporting partner rebuilds these post-migration. We recommend scheduling the report rebuild work in parallel with migration planning to avoid post-go-live delays.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful eFacto ERP to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Extraction access confirmation and data audit

    We confirm with the customer's eFacto administrator whether read-only SQL database access is available or whether vendor-assisted export is required. We audit the eFacto database for record counts across all supported objects (COA, Customers, Vendors, Items, BOM, open AP/AR, open Sales Orders, open Purchase Orders, POS transaction log, inventory per warehouse, employee master). We also identify any custom fields added via SSRS reports and flag the GSTIN/SAC/HSN tax code coverage. The extraction access decision drives the overall project timeline — vendor-assisted exports typically add two to four weeks of coordination time.

  2. Infor edition selection and environment provisioning

    We confirm the appropriate Infor Cloudsuite industry edition (Industrial, Distribution, Fashion, or Food & Beverage) based on the customer's primary business type. We validate that the destination Infor tenant is provisioned with the correct company structure, warehouse locations, and fiscal calendar before any data loads begin. Tax configuration (GST rates, TDS sections, SAC/HSN code assignment) is set up in Infor's tax code table at this stage because COA and AP/AR migration depend on it. The Infor Migration Utility database is configured with ODBC or direct SQL parameters pointing to the extraction output.

  3. Chart of Accounts and tax code migration

    We load the eFacto COA into Infor's Chart of Accounts first, resolving account code conflicts where eFacto account codes overlap with Infor's reserved ranges. GSTIN and TDS registration data attached to accounts is mapped to Infor's tax registration fields on the corresponding vendor and customer records. Inactive eFacto accounts are flagged for reactivation review. Once the COA is validated, we migrate vendor and customer masters, resolving any duplicate detection by phone and email. Payment terms from eFacto map to Infor Terms of Payment codes, and TDS rates map to Infor tax codes.

  4. Item master, BOM, and inventory initial load

    We migrate Items with SKU, description, unit of measure, cost, and selling price. BOM parent-component relationships from eFacto are split into Infor's BOM and routing tables, with phantom assemblies reconstructed if eFacto used phantom BOM types. Current inventory on-hand is extracted per warehouse and loaded as Infor inventory on-hand records with the agreed stock-as-of date. Batch and lot numbers carry forward if the destination edition supports lot/serial control. Historical valuation entries are not migrated; Infor opens inventory valuation from the migration date forward.

  5. Open AP/AR, Orders, and POS data migration

    Open AP and AR invoices are migrated with partial payment carry-forward using the agreed migration-as-of date. eFacto GST adjustment entries for TDS deductions map to corresponding Infor tax liability journals. Open Sales Orders and Purchase Orders load with full line-item detail and link to customer/vendor records. POS transaction aggregation runs daily, mapping tender types to Infor payment methods and creating a receipt-to-journal linkage table for cash drawer reconciliation. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next begins.

  6. HR/Employee migration and cutover handoff

    Active employee records migrate with designation, department, PAN, and bank account details. Payroll transaction history is not migrated; Infor HRMS or the customer's chosen payroll module opens fresh from the migration date. We deliver the SSRS RDL XML exports and a written map of every custom report requiring rebuild in Birst or Power BI. We do not migrate workflows or automations; the workflow inventory document is delivered to the customer's admin for rebuild planning. A one-week post-cutover hypercare window is included to resolve reconciliation issues raised during the first business cycle in Infor Cloudsuite.

Most migrations land between five and eight weeks for accounts under 50,000 combined master records (Customers, Vendors, Items) with SQL export access and no complex BOM structures. Migrations requiring vendor-assisted export coordination, multi-warehouse inventory files, BOM/phantom assembly reconstruction, or open AP/AR carry-forward with partial payment tracking move to twelve to twenty weeks because of extraction coordination time, BOM resolution, and tax code re-mapping. Infor Cloudsuite implementation and environment provisioning typically runs parallel to our migration work rather than sequential.
