Overview
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.

Object mapping
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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Chart of Accounts
1:1eFacto 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer / Bill-To
1:1eFacto 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier / Vendor
1:1eFacto 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item / Product
1:1eFacto 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AP Invoice / AR Invoice
1:1We 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Open 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Open 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Receipt / AR Invoice
lossyeFacto 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inventory On Hand
1:1Current 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Employee
1:1Employee 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
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Not migrated
1:1eFacto 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.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
eFacto ERP gotchas
No documented public REST API for bulk data export
POS transaction IDs do not auto-link to G/L entries
Custom SSRS reports depend on hard-coded SQL stored procedures
Infor CloudSuite Corporate gotchas
Infor OS tier-based usage limits gate API and BaaS capabilities
Custom Fields use inconsistent naming across Infor editions
SQL migration utility requires source database access
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
