Overview
Moving from Epicor BisTrack to Infor CloudSuite is an industry-vertical migration: BisTrack is purpose-built for lumber and building materials dealers with counter sales, kit assembly, special order SKU generation, and delivery dispatch as native features, while Infor CloudSuite is a cloud ERP built for mixed-mode manufacturers and distributors with broader financial consolidation and supply chain planning tools. We extract BisTrack data via its REST API and Smart View SQL queries, preserving kit structures and special order SKU patterns, then load into CloudSuite through its migration database and Infor ION or standard API endpoints. Multi-tenant CloudSuite does not allow direct database access, so all data must flow through approved interfaces. BisTrack dashboards, Smart View grids, and FTP-based third-party integrations do not migrate automatically; we document them for your team to rebuild. Workflows, automations, and delivery-dispatch scheduling logic do not migrate as code. We deliver a written inventory of these for your Infor administrator to rebuild in CloudSuite.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Epicor BisTrack 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.
Epicor BisTrack
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer
1:1BisTrack Customer records map directly to Infor CloudSuite Customer. We extract via Smart View SQL or REST API, preserving Customer Number (the critical dedupe key), address fields, contact data, and pricing tier assignments. If the destination CloudSuite uses a different customer numbering scheme, we suppress the source number during import and generate a new CloudSuite customer number per the target configuration. Customer-specific pricing tiers and discount schedules map to CloudSuite Customer Price Group or Contract Price structures.
Epicor BisTrack
Vendor
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier
1:1BisTrack Vendor records map to Infor CloudSuite Supplier. We preserve PO terms, lead times, EDI settings, and vendor-specific contact data. When a default vendor is not set on an Item record in BisTrack, we flag these for resolution during the Vendor import phase and coordinate with the customer to assign defaults before Items load. Supplier-specific pricing tiers map to CloudSuite Supplier Price agreements if the destination edition supports them.
Epicor BisTrack
Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item
1:1BisTrack Item master records map to Infor CloudSuite Item with SKU, description, bin location reference, pricing, and kit assembly rules. The Max Description Length setting in BisTrack (default 254 chars) may truncate longer descriptions during import if CloudSuite enforces shorter field lengths; we flag and pad or truncate accordingly. Kit assembly structures (BOM headers and components) map to CloudSuite BOM and routing structures with a separate import phase sequenced after the parent Item load.
Epicor BisTrack
Special Order SKU
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item (special flag)
lossyBisTrack generates special order SKUs using a configurable DefaultSKU prefix pattern (e.g., zz_SOWINDOWS_0001). We capture the customer's SKU generation settings during pre-migration audit and replicate the logic in our import adapter. If CloudSuite uses a different SKU generation rule, we suppress BisTrack's auto-generation during import to avoid conflicts. Special order Items are flagged with a user-defined attribute in CloudSuite to preserve the distinction for counter sales and special order reporting.
Epicor BisTrack
Kit Assembly
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
BOM + Routing
1:manyBisTrack kit structures (kit header with component Items and quantities) map to Infor CloudSuite Bill of Materials (BOM) with a BOM type of Kit. Component quantity and scrap factors preserve from BisTrack. If the kit has a bill of materials routing with work centers and operation sequences, these map to CloudSuite Routing records attached to the BOM. BOM and Routing are sequenced for import after all component Items have loaded successfully.
Epicor BisTrack
Sales Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1BisTrack Sales Order headers and lines map to Infor CloudSuite Sales Order. Order header fields (order number, order date, customer reference, terms) map directly. Order lines reference Item, quantity, unit of measure, pricing, and special order flag. Special order SKUs on lines are resolved by matching to the Item records imported in the Items phase. Back-reference to Customer is resolved via the Customer Number dedupe key established during the Customer import phase.
Epicor BisTrack
Purchase Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1BisTrack PO records map to Infor CloudSuite Purchase Order. Line items reference Supplier and Item records, so we sequence the import to load Suppliers and Items before POs to maintain referential integrity. Open PO status flags (released, pending, closed) map to CloudSuite PO status. If the destination uses multi-company PO processing, we coordinate with the customer to set the correct company assignment during PO header creation.
Epicor BisTrack
Quote
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Quote
1:1BisTrack Quotes accessible via API and the outside sales module map to Infor CloudSuite Quote. We preserve quote status, expiration dates, and conversion history. Quoted line items reference current item prices. If a Quote references an Item that has changed pricing or been discontinued, we flag these records during import scoping so the customer can decide whether to migrate the quote as historical or exclude it from the active migration scope.
Epicor BisTrack
Inventory
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Warehouse / Bin / On Hand
1:manyBisTrack inventory levels, bin locations, and on-hand quantities per warehouse map to Infor CloudSuite's multi-level warehouse structure. Each BisTrack warehouse maps to a CloudSuite Warehouse; each bin location maps to a Bin within that Warehouse; on-hand quantities map to Item-warehouse on-hand records. Stock history is available via Smart View SQL but may require a separate import phase or archival strategy depending on the volume and the customer's CloudSuite storage planning.
Epicor BisTrack
Accounts Receivable
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Invoice / AR
1:1BisTrack AR invoices and payment records are exportable via Smart View SQL. The invoice-to-payment reconciliation lookup interface in BisTrack is reportedly cumbersome; we extract open invoices and payment history via Smart View and flag any records with missing payment linkage for manual reconciliation before AR loads into CloudSuite. Open invoice balances map to CloudSuite AR with customer and invoice number references preserved.
Epicor BisTrack
Accounts Payable
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Invoice / AP
1:1BisTrack AP data including vendor invoices and payment records export via Smart View SQL. Duplicate invoice controls are a native BisTrack feature we flag during import scoping to avoid re-triggering duplicate detection logic in CloudSuite AP that may use different threshold rules. Open AP balances map to CloudSuite AP with vendor and invoice number references preserved.
Epicor BisTrack
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Account
1:1BisTrack GL accounts accessible via Smart View map to Infor CloudSuite GL Account. We map account numbers and hierarchies to CloudSuite's chart of accounts, noting that segment structures (e.g., department cost centers) may require a different account code format. If BisTrack uses a flat account structure and CloudSuite requires segmented accounts, we decompose the BisTrack account number into the appropriate segment fields during the transform phase.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the source BisTrack installation across customer count, vendor count, item count, kit assembly complexity, warehouse and bin-location depth, open sales order and purchase order backlogs, quote volume, AR/AP balance counts, and any custom fields (UD codes) in active use. We extract the Smart View SQL queries that power the customer's critical reports so we understand the data model in practice, not just in theory. We pair this with a CloudSuite edition and industry-fit assessment: CloudSuite Distribution for wholesale/distribution LBM dealers, CloudSuite Industrial for manufacturing, or CloudSuite Financials for multi-entity consolidation. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a data volume estimate, a CloudSuite edition recommendation, and a list of any known customization dependencies that require resolution before migration begins.
Customization and integration inventory
We catalog every BisTrack custom stored procedure, core code modification, FTP-based integration, and Smart View or dashboard configuration in active use. Each item receives a classification: configuration (can migrate as-is), extension (can rebuild in CloudSuite), or elimination (no longer needed). For custom reports, we identify the source Smart View SQL and document the functional requirement so the customer's BI team can rebuild in Infor Birst. For FTP-based integrations, we identify the trading partner and the data flow direction so the customer can plan an Infor ION or API-based replacement. This inventory is a prerequisite to CloudSuite's customization-free deployment model.
Schema design and CloudSuite migration database setup
We design the destination schema in CloudSuite's migration database. This includes configuring the chart of accounts segment structure, warehouse and bin-location hierarchies, customer and supplier number schemes, item numbering rules (including special order SKU prefix configuration), unit of measure definitions, and any user-defined fields matching BisTrack UD codes. We set up the migration database connection in CloudSuite, define the import parameters, and configure the data assessment process so that preliminary data transfer runs can generate error reports before production loads begin. The schema design phase coordinates with the customer's Infor administrator and any Infor implementation partner to ensure the migration database aligns with the target CloudSuite production configuration.
Smart View extraction and data quality assessment
We extract data from BisTrack via Smart View SQL for transactional records and via the REST API for master data entities. We run a data quality assessment on the extracted records: duplicate detection (customer numbers, item numbers, vendor numbers), missing required fields, invalid address formats, orphaned transactions (orders referencing deleted customers or items), and special order SKU pattern validation. We produce a data quality report and work with the customer to resolve critical issues before the first migration load. Any SKUs that would conflict with CloudSuite's numbering rules are flagged for suppression or remapping at this stage.
Staged migration in dependency order
We run the migration in record-dependency order through CloudSuite's migration database and data transfer process. Master data loads first: GL accounts, customers, suppliers, items and kits, then warehouses and bin locations. Transactional data follows: open purchase orders, sales orders, quotes, inventory on-hand, AR invoices, and AP invoices. Each phase runs the Infor data assessment report to catch transform errors, then proceeds to production database copy. Special order SKUs are loaded with the suppression flag active to prevent double-generation. Activity history and notes are loaded last via the standard API. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze BisTrack writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable CloudSuite as the system of record. We perform a final reconciliation comparing migrated record counts against BisTrack source counts and spot-checking 25-50 records across each entity type. We deliver the integration and dashboard rebuild inventory to the customer's Infor administrator. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Workflows, automations, delivery-dispatch scheduling, and FTP-based third-party integrations do not migrate as code; these are documented separately for the customer's administrator or Infor implementation partner to rebuild in CloudSuite's native tooling.
