Overview
Exact Globe organizes ERP data around a flat-file-oriented table structure — accounts, invoices, items, orders, and projects live in separate modules with cross-references stored as foreign-key IDs. Custom fields attach to standard tables via the Add-on/Extender Tool, supporting text, numeric, and date types but with limited API exposure for bulk export. Acumatica uses a normalized relational schema with screen-based data entry where every entity (Customer, Vendor, InventoryItem, SalesOrder) has its own DAC (Data Access Class) and supports custom fields through the customization framework. FlitStack AI sequences the migration to resolve Exact Globe's account relationships before loading transactional documents, then maps custom fields through Acumatica's Usr-prefixed custom property model. Workflows, approval chains, and automation rules from Exact Globe require manual rebuild in Acumatica's Screen-based automation tools — we export the workflow definitions as a reference document for your Acumatica administrator. The migration runs via Acumatica's Import by Scenario mechanism for structured objects and direct API insertion for custom entities, with delta-pickup capturing in-flight orders during cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Exact Globe 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.
Exact Globe
Account (Debtor/Creditor)
Acumatica
Customer / Vendor
1:manyExact Globe stores debtors and creditors in the same account table with a type flag. FlitStack splits these into separate Acumatica Customer and Vendor records. Account group codes map to Acumatica Customer Class / Vendor Class for reporting grouping. Payment terms attached to the account carry forward as separate payment term lookups in Acumatica.
Exact Globe
Contact Person
Acumatica
Contact
1:1Exact Globe contact persons attach to accounts. Acumatica Contacts attach to Customers or Vendors via the ContactID link. We preserve the contact's email, phone, job title, and the isPrimary flag as an Acumatica Contact with the same parent account reference. Multiple contacts per account are fully supported in Acumatica's contact model.
Exact Globe
Item
Acumatica
InventoryItem / Non-Stock Item
1:manyExact Globe items cover stock, non-stock, and service types within one table. FlitStack routes stock items to Acumatica InventoryItem with warehouse assignments. Non-stock items become Non-Stock Items. Service items map to Service codes. Item group in Exact Globe maps to Acumatica Stock Item Group for inventory reporting and replenishment settings.
Exact Globe
Sales Order
Acumatica
SalesOrder
1:1Direct mapping. Exact Globe order lines map to Acumatica SOLine records with the same order number preserved in an external reference field. Order date and requested delivery date carry forward. The order status in Exact Globe maps to Acumatica's order-status pick-list (On Hold, Pending, Completed, Cancelled) based on the source value.
Exact Globe
Purchase Order
Acumatica
PurchaseOrder
1:1Purchase orders from Exact Globe migrate as Acumatica PurchaseOrder records. Vendor reference on the PO links to the Acumatica Vendor created from the Exact Globe creditor account. Line-level detail, quantities, and unit costs transfer directly. The Acumatica PO status is set based on Exact Globe's open/closed indicator.
Exact Globe
Invoice / Credit Memo
Acumatica
ARInvoice / APInvoice
1:manyExact Globe sales invoices and credit memos split into Acumatica ARInvoice (for debtors) while purchase invoices and credit memos become APInvoice (for creditors). Exact Globe's VAT code on each line maps to Acumatica's Tax Category. Original invoice number is preserved in the ExternalRef field for audit traceability.
Exact Globe
Project
Acumatica
Project
1:1Exact Globe projects migrate to Acumatica Projects with the same project ID preserved in a custom field. Project status, customer link, billing rule, and default account all transfer. If Exact Globe uses project-specific inventory issues, those transactions map to Acumatica Project Transaction records tied to the migrated project.
Exact Globe
Warehouse / Location
Acumatica
Warehouse / Location
1:1Exact Globe warehouse definitions map 1:1 to Acumatica Warehouse records. Warehouse-specific stock quantities transfer as inventory balances under each location. The primary warehouse flag in Exact Globe becomes the Base Warehouse flag in Acumatica. Multi-bin configuration in Exact Globe maps to Acumatica Location management.
Exact Globe
BOM (Bill of Materials)
Acumatica
BOM & Bill of Materials
1:1Exact Globe BOM structures migrate as Acumatica BOM records linked to the migrated stock items. The bill of materials header and line structure — material components, quantities, scrap factors — transfers directly. If Exact Globe uses versioned BOMs, each version becomes a separate revision in Acumatica's BOM revision tracking.
Exact Globe
Custom Fields (Add-on/Extender)
Acumatica
Custom Fields (Usr-prefixed)
1:1Exact Globe custom fields added via the Add-on/Extender Tool require Acumatica customization projects to recreate. FlitStack documents each custom field name, type, and attached table, then creates an Acumatica customization specification (Usr-field name, DB type, label, screen placement). Text fields map to Acumatica string fields, numeric fields to decimal or integer depending on precision, dates to date fields. Values transfer as part of the parent record migration.
Exact Globe
Cost Center
Acumatica
Subaccount / Cost Code
1:1Exact Globe cost centers map to Acumatica Subaccounts. The cost center hierarchy in Exact Globe (if multi-level) collapses to a flat subaccount code in Acumatica, with the segment dimension set up in the chart of accounts configuration. Active/inactive status from Exact Globe carries forward as the subaccount's active flag.
Exact Globe
Bank / Cash Account
Acumatica
CashAccount
1:1Exact Globe bank accounts migrate to Acumatica CashAccount records. The account number, bank name, currency, and GL account link transfer directly. If Exact Globe uses multiple bank accounts per currency, each becomes a separate Acumatica CashAccount linked to the same GL account.
Exact Globe
Payment Terms
Acumatica
PaymentTerms
1:1Payment terms defined in Exact Globe (Net 30, 2/10 Net 30, etc.) migrate to Acumatica PaymentTerms. The discount percentage, due days, and cash discount days all transfer. Exact Globe's installment payment terms map to Acumatica installment plans with multiple installment lines.
Exact Globe
VAT / Tax Code
Acumatica
Tax Zone / Tax Category
1:1Exact Globe VAT codes map to Acumatica Tax Categories linked to Tax Zones. The tax rate, tax type (inclusive/exclusive), and applicable accounts transfer. For multi-country Exact Globe setups, each country's VAT code set becomes a separate Acumatica Tax Zone assigned to the relevant entity.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Exact Globe schema and produce custom field specification
FlitStack connects to Exact Globe via its REST/SOAP API and enumerates all standard tables, custom fields (via Add-on/Extender metadata), account types, payment terms, VAT codes, and currency definitions. We cross-reference this against the target Acumatica tenant's enabled modules and existing chart of accounts structure. The output is a data inventory — record counts per entity, sample field values, and a custom field mapping specification listing every Usr-prefixed field to create in Acumatica before migration runs.
Set up Acumatica schema: currencies, subaccounts, tax categories, and custom fields
Before any data loads, FlitStack generates setup scripts for Acumatica's foundational records: Currencies from Exact Globe's currency list, Subaccounts from Exact Globe cost centers, Tax Categories from VAT codes, Payment Terms, and Warehouse definitions. Custom fields defined in Exact Globe's Add-on/Extender Tool are documented with their types and mapped to Acumatica Usr-prefixed fields with a published Acumatica Customization Project. This step requires your Acumatica administrator to apply and publish the customization — we provide the specification and validate the published state before proceeding.
Resolve master-data dependencies and load accounts, items, and projects
Acumatica requires parent records to exist before child records can reference them. FlitStack sequences the migration so master data loads first: Customers and Vendors (from Exact Globe accounts), Inventory Items and Non-Stock Items (from Exact Globe items), Projects, Warehouses, and Cash Accounts. Exact Globe account relationships — which accounts are debtors vs. creditors vs. both — are resolved at this stage. Each master record retains its Exact Globe ID in a SourceID custom field for traceability. Owner or responsible-user resolution happens here by email match against Acumatica users.
Run sample migration with field-level diff on a representative record slice
A sample set — typically 200–500 records spanning customers, items, open orders, and recent invoices — migrates against the live Acumatica tenant. FlitStack generates a field-level comparison report showing source value, transformed value, and any fields that did not map cleanly. This catches misconfigured value mappings (payment terms, item types), custom fields not yet published, and foreign-key resolution failures (e.g., a customer reference pointing to a vendor-only record). The report is reviewed with you before the full run is authorized.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
The full migration loads all confirmed records into Acumatica using Import by Scenario for structured entities (Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, AR/AP Invoices) and direct API insertion for custom entities and attachments. A delta-pickup window — typically 24–48 hours — runs concurrently with your final Exact Globe usage period, capturing any records created or modified during cutover. Every operation is logged in FlitStack's audit log with before/after state. One-click rollback reverts all migrated records if reconciliation against Exact Globe reports identifies a discrepancy requiring reprocessing.
Deliver reconciliation report and workflow export package
After the migration run, FlitStack produces a reconciliation report comparing record counts and aggregate totals (open order value, AR balance, inventory quantity by warehouse) between Exact Globe and Acumatica. Discrepancies are flagged with specific record IDs. Alongside the data migration, FlitStack delivers the Exact Globe workflow export as an XML reference package so your Acumatica administrator can begin the workflow rebuild process in parallel. FlitStack does not migrate integrations — third-party connections (e-payment gateways, EDI providers, shipping platforms) must be re-established in Acumatica separately.
