Overview
We map Embrace ERP's chart of accounts, customers, vendors, and inventory into Acumatica's segment-based GL, branch-level entity, and multi-warehouse model. Acumatica separates account codes into configurable segments (e.g., Natural Account + Department + Region) — unlike Embrace's flat account codes. Teams move to Acumatica for its unlimited-user licensing, cloud access, and stronger multi-entity consolidation across branches or subsidiaries. The migration extracts Embrace's account codes and branches, transforms them into Acumatica's segment structure, and loads customers, vendors, and inventory with their full hierarchies, credit limits, and valuation methods. Open transactions (uninvoiced POs, open AR/AP) migrate as unposted documents or opening balances depending on post-date. Workflows, approval chains, and Embrace custom fields require manual rebuild using Acumatica's Workflow Engine and Schema Extensions. We run a sample migration first with field-level diff, then a full load with delta pickup (24–48h) so any records created during cutover land in Acumatica before go-live. Audit log and one-click rollback are included.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Embrace 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.
Embrace ERP
Chart of Accounts / GL Account
Acumatica
GL Account (Segment-based)
1:1Embrace ERP account codes (e.g., 1000-001) map to Acumatica GL accounts by splitting the Embrace code into Acumatica segments. The full Embrace account code is preserved in Acumatica's NoteID and a custom AccountCode__c field for reconciliation and reference lookup after migration.
Embrace ERP
Customer / Debtor
Acumatica
Business Account (Customer)
1:1Embrace customer records map directly to Acumatica Business Accounts with Customer class. Primary contact, credit limit, payment terms, tax group, and address fields migrate as direct mappings. Customer hierarchies (parent/child) map to Acumatica's parent Account link. If Embrace stores multiple contacts per customer, secondary contacts migrate as related Contact records linked to the Business Account.
Embrace ERP
Vendor / Creditor
Acumatica
Business Account (Vendor)
1:1Embrace vendor records map to Acumatica Business Accounts with Vendor class. Payment terms, tax registration, bank details, and default GL accounts for AP expense mapping migrate directly. Multi-location vendor addresses map to Acumatica's Contact and Address tables per vendor. Default expense accounts from Embrace map to Acumatica's vendor-level AP expense account settings.
Embrace ERP
Inventory Item / Stock Item
Acumatica
Non-Stock Item / Stock Item
1:1Embrace inventory items map to Acumatica Stock Items or Non-Stock Items based on the source item type. Unit of measure, item class, valuation method (Standard / Average / FIFO), and warehouse assignment migrate directly. Valuation details require Acumatica item class pre-configuration before records land.
Embrace ERP
Warehouse / Branch
Acumatica
Branch / Warehouse
1:1Embrace warehouse and branch records map to Acumatica Branches. Each branch receives its own GL accounts for AP/AR and inventory subaccounts. Branch-to-Acumatica Branch mapping is required before customer, vendor, and inventory records can reference the correct branch ID. Acumatica's branch-specific configuration also controls tax zones, shipping methods, and reporting currencies per location.
Embrace ERP
AR Invoice / Sales Invoice
Acumatica
AR Invoice / Invoice
1:1Embrace open AR invoices migrate as Acumatica AR Invoices in draft or scheduled status. Line items (Product / Service) map to Invoice Details referencing the migrated Stock Item or Service. Tax amount, discount, and due date fields migrate as direct values. Posted invoices migrate as history not live records.
Embrace ERP
AP Invoice / Purchase Invoice
Acumatica
AP Bill / Bill
1:1Embrace open AP bills migrate as Acumatica AP Bills in draft status. Vendor reference, invoice date, due date, and line amounts migrate directly. Taxes map via Acumatica's tax zone configuration per vendor. Prepaid and accrued invoice adjustments require manual review post-migration.
Embrace ERP
Fixed Asset Register
Acumatica
Fixed Asset
1:1Embrace fixed asset records map to Acumatica Fixed Asset documents. Asset code, description, class, acquisition date, cost, residual value, depreciation method, and accumulated depreciation all migrate as direct fields. Asset depreciation schedules are recalculated in Acumatica based on the configured depreciation method.
Embrace ERP
Purchase Order
Acumatica
Purchase Order
1:1Embrace open purchase orders migrate as Acumatica Purchase Orders in Open status. Vendor, shipment address, line items with quantities and unit costs, and promised dates migrate directly. Received quantities on partially-received POs are preserved so receiving against the PO can continue in Acumatica after go-live.
Embrace ERP
Sales Order
Acumatica
Sales Order
1:1Embrace open sales orders migrate as Acumatica Sales Orders. Customer reference, ship-to address, line items with quantities and unit prices, and warehouse assignment migrate directly. Orders in fulfilment map to Acumatica's shipment workflow so picking and shipping can resume from the migrated state.
Embrace ERP
Custom Fields / Extended Properties
Acumatica
Custom Fields (Schema Extensions)
1:1Embrace custom fields on Customer, Vendor, Inventory, and GL Account screens require manual creation as Acumatica Schema Extensions (DACs) — each custom field is recreated as a data access class field in the Acumatica Customization Project editor. Formula fields from Embrace do not migrate; Acumatica calculated fields or report Designer expressions replace them.
Embrace ERP
Workflows / Approval Chains
Acumatica
Workflow / Screens
1:1Embrace workflow definitions and approval routing rules have no Acumatica equivalent and cannot be migrated. They are documented as a rebuild scope advisory. Acumatica's Workflow Engine is configured independently per business process after data migration completes. We export each Embrace workflow as a process map showing triggers, approver levels, escalation paths, and conditions so Acumatica administrators can replicate the logic in the target system's screen-level and business-event-based workflow designers.

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.
Embrace ERP gotchas
Limited data export tooling blocks self-service migration
Report customizations are not captured by standard exports
Custom fields create schema variation across clients
Upgrade path can invalidate bespoke modifications
Acumatica gotchas
API user licenses cap concurrent sessions and request throughput
Multi-tenant filtering requires CompanyID awareness
Custom fields require separate discovery before field mapping
Notes and attachments use a separate linked table structure
Implementation timelines frequently run 3–9 months end-to-end
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Embrace ERP data model and extract schema inventory
We connect to the Embrace ERP API and export a full schema inventory: chart of accounts codes and types, customer and vendor hierarchies, inventory item classes and valuation methods, custom fields and their screen associations, document number sequences, and workflow/approval chain definitions. This audit identifies which objects have flat codes requiring segment splitting, which items share valuation methods, and how many Acumatica Branches need to be pre-created before transactional records can import.
Design Acumatica GL segment schema and branch structure
Before any data moves, we map the Embrace chart of accounts to Acumatica's segment-based account structure. For each Embrace account code, we identify which segment it populates (Natural Account, Department, or Location). We then create the corresponding Acumatica Branches, define number sequences per document type, and create the Schema Extensions for Embrace custom fields so the fields are ready on the correct screens before migration runs.
Export and load chart of accounts into Acumatica
We extract the full Embrace chart of accounts, map each account code to the Acumatica segment structure, and load the GL accounts via Acumatica's import functionality. The original Embrace account code is preserved in a note field on each account record. Account types are mapped to Acumatica Account Type values and active/inactive status is carried across. We validate that the segment breakdown produces expected GL balances by running a trial balance report in Acumatica before proceeding to transactional data.
Migrate customers, vendors, and inventory with full hierarchies and valuation settings
Customers and vendors load first with their parent/child hierarchies mapped to Acumatica's parent Account lookup. Credit limits, payment terms, and tax registration IDs are carried across as direct field mappings. Inventory items are loaded into pre-configured Acumatica item classes that match their Embrace valuation method and UOM settings. A branch mapping table ensures each migrated record references the correct Acumatica Branch ID so transactional records can link to it in the next phase.
Load open transactions (AR/AP invoices, purchase orders, fixed assets) as draft documents
Open AR invoices, AP bills, purchase orders, and sales orders migrate as draft or scheduled Acumatica documents so they can be completed post-migration without duplicate entries. Fixed assets load with acquisition details, depreciation method, and accumulated depreciation values. We preserve Embrace document numbers in Acumatica's reference fields and note text so the audit trail links back to the source record. Any post-date transactions that should not appear in the current period are flagged and posted to the correct historical period in Acumatica.
Run sample migration with field-level diff, then full load with delta pickup and rollback
A representative sample (100–300 records per module) migrates first so we generate a field-level diff comparing source and destination values for every mapped field. You review the diff before we commit the full load. During cutover, we run a delta pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) capturing any Embrace records created or modified after the initial export, so Acumatica reflects Embrace's final state at go-live. An audit log records every import operation and one-click rollback reverts the full migration if reconciliation fails.
