Overview
Moving from Extensiv Order Manager to Epicor ERP is a structural migration from an order-management and fulfillment platform to a full manufacturing and distribution ERP. Extensiv organizes around Orders, Customers, Products, and Warehouses; Epicor ERP uses Part, Customer, Sales Order, Site, and Job/BOM as its core entities. The most significant mapping decisions involve converting Extensiv bundle and kit structures into Epicor Bills of Materials with the correct revision and scrap-rate configuration, resolving multi-warehouse stock positions to Epicor Site-level inventory, and preserving the FIFO cost basis that Extensiv exposes at the item level. We do not migrate Integration Management filter logic, EDI connections, or 3PL configurations; these are documented for the customer's Epicor admin to rebuild. Workflow routing rules and order-automation logic similarly require manual configuration in Epicor Kinetic or Epicor Eclipse post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Extensiv Order Manager object lands in Epicor Prophet 21, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Extensiv Order Manager
Orders
Epicor Prophet 21
Sales Order
1:1Extensiv Orders map to Epicor SalesOrderHdr and SalesOrderDtl records. Order number from Extensiv becomes OrderNum in Epicor; channel source becomes an Order Held or Order Release flag based on Extensiv status. Order-level custom Order Info fields map to Epicor UD fields on SalesOrderHed (String01-30 or equivalent). Handling fees and shipping costs migrate as Miscellaneous charges on the Order with appropriate Freq Misc Charge codes. Warehouse assignment on each line item resolves to the corresponding Epicor Site and Warehouse code during import.
Extensiv Order Manager
Customers
Epicor Prophet 21
Customer
1:1Extensiv Customer records map to Epicor Customer. The customer name, contact email, phone, and address fields map directly. We resolve multi-address records (billing vs shipping) to Epicor's ShipTo and BillTo structures. Extensiv customer-level custom fields migrate to Epicor Customer UD fields. Customer currency from Extensiv maps to Epicor's CurrencyCode if the customer operates in multiple currencies.
Extensiv Order Manager
Products (SKUs)
Epicor Prophet 21
Part
1:1Extensiv Products map to Epicor Part. SKU becomes PartNum; product name becomes Description; description field becomes PartDescription. Unit of Measure from Extensiv maps to Epicor's UOMClass and UOMCode. Cost from Extensiv (including FIFO cost basis where exposed via API) migrates to Epicor's Standard Cost or Average Cost field depending on the destination company's cost method configuration. Price migrates to PartPlant Unit Price or the default Price List entry.
Extensiv Order Manager
Inventory
Epicor Prophet 21
PartBin (Site-level)
1:manyExtensiv stores inventory per warehouse as distinct quantity positions. Each Extensiv warehouse maps to an Epicor Site and Warehouse combination. We split the Extensiv inventory snapshot into separate PartBin records per Site, preserving on-hand quantity, allocated quantity, and available quantity. Customers must confirm which warehouse's Extensiv inventory levels are canonical for each Epicor Site before migration begins. Open purchase orders and stock transfers in Extensiv create separate inbound visibility records in Epicor.
Extensiv Order Manager
Shipments
Epicor Prophet 21
Shipment or Order History
1:1Extensiv Shipment records preserve carrier, tracking number, shipment date, and shipping cost. We link shipments to the originating Extensiv Order number and map them into Epicor's Shipment or Order history depending on whether the destination Epicor product line uses Order Entry or Sales Order modules. Tracking URLs and carrier codes migrate to ShipmentHead UD fields or OrderDtl tracking notes.
Extensiv Order Manager
Warehouses
Epicor Prophet 21
Site + Warehouse
1:1Extensiv Warehouse records (in-house and 3PL) map to Epicor Site definitions with associated Warehouse records. In-house warehouses migrate as Epicor Sites with Warehouse codes. 3PL warehouses from Extensiv map to Epicor Warehouses or are documented as external Third-Party Logistics sites depending on whether Epicor's 3PL module is licensed. We validate that Site codes and Warehouse codes in the migration payload exactly match the Epicor configuration before import to avoid the Warehouse Name or Warehouse ID errors common in OMS-to-ERP migrations.
Extensiv Order Manager
Purchase Orders
Epicor Prophet 21
PO Header + PO Release
1:1Extensiv Purchase Orders map to Epicor PurAgent and POPOHeader with POPORel line releases. PO status from Extensiv (Open, Closed, Cancelled) maps to Epicor OpenFlag and Approval status. Vendor reference and line items migrate with unit cost and delivery dates preserved. Inbound receipt records from Extensiv map to Epicor PORcpt records linked to the PO.
Extensiv Order Manager
Stock Transfers
Epicor Prophet 21
Transfer Order
1:1Extensiv Stock Transfers (cross-warehouse moves) map to Epicor TransferOrder records with source and destination Site/Warehouse assignments. Transfer status, line items, and quantities migrate directly. We preserve the transfer order number from Extensiv for audit trail purposes. If the destination Epicor does not use Transfer Orders, the transfers are documented as PartTran records for inventory movement history.
Extensiv Order Manager
Bundles and Kits
Epicor Prophet 21
Bill of Materials (BOM)
1:manyExtensiv bundle and kit products require BOM configuration in Epicor before migration begins. Each bundle product in Extensiv (with its parent SKU and component-level SKU relationships) maps to an Epicor PartBillMtl BOM structure. We preserve component quantities, pricing overrides, and the BOM revision level. Epicor BOMs support revision control, scrap rates, and alternate materials that Extensiv does not model; these are documented during discovery for the customer's Epicor admin to configure post-migration. The BOM revision must be marked Approved before Epicor will explode the kit on a sales order.
Extensiv Order Manager
Custom Fields (Order-level)
Epicor Prophet 21
SalesOrderHed UD fields
lossyExtensiv Custom Order Info fields on orders require two pre-conditions before migration: the 'Enable custom fields' setting must be active in Extensiv Admin > Settings, and corresponding UD fields must be pre-created in Epicor SalesOrderHed with matching data types. We confirm the Extensiv setting is active during discovery and document any unmapped custom fields if it is not. Epicor UD fields are created during the schema design phase in the Sandbox environment before production migration begins.
Extensiv Order Manager
Custom Fields (Line-item level)
Epicor Prophet 21
SalesOrderDtl UD fields
lossyExtensiv line-item-level custom fields migrate to Epicor SalesOrderDtl UD fields. Like order-level custom fields, these require the Extensiv admin opt-in and Epicor UD field pre-creation. We map the custom field name and value type to the nearest Epicor UD field data type (string, integer, decimal, checkbox) and flag any fields that require a picklist or validation rule in Epicor that did not exist in Extensiv.
Extensiv Order Manager
Custom Fields (Customer-level)
Epicor Prophet 21
Customer UD fields
lossyPre-configured custom fields under Extensiv Customers migrate to Epicor Customer UD fields. These require the same Extensiv admin opt-in and Epicor UD field pre-creation as order-level custom fields. Customer-level custom fields in Extensiv are often used for credit limits, tax exemptions, or account-specific pricing tiers; we document these during discovery and map them to equivalent Epicor Customer fields or UD fields based on the customer's Epicor configuration.

Migration approach
Discovery and integration audit
We audit the Extensiv Order Manager account across active channels, Integration Management filter settings, DSCO connections, skipped orders log, warehouse count and assignment, bundle and kit product structures, custom field configuration (including the admin opt-in status), and historical order volume by date range. We pair this with a review of the target Epicor environment: product line (Kinetic, Prophet 21, or Eclipse), edition, existing Site and Warehouse configuration, installed UD fields, and Bill of Materials revision status. The discovery output is a written migration scope with order date-range coverage confirmed, EDI connection inventory, and a BOM configuration checklist for any kit products.
BOM design and Epicor schema preparation
We design the Epicor Bill of Materials structures for every Extensiv bundle and kit product. This includes component Part numbers, quantities per assembly, BOM revision level, and approval status. We also create the Epicor UD fields for Custom Order Info and customer-level custom fields, mapping Extensiv field names and data types to the nearest Epicor field types. Schema is deployed into a Sandbox environment for validation before production migration begins. The customer's Epicor admin reviews the BOM structures and approves the revisions during this phase.
Site and Warehouse reconciliation
We reconcile Extensiv warehouse records against Epicor Site and Warehouse definitions. Any Extensiv warehouse without a matching Epicor Site or Warehouse goes to a reconciliation queue. We also resolve which Extensiv warehouse's inventory levels are canonical for each Epicor Site (for companies that run parallel systems during transition). 3PL warehouses from Extensiv are documented separately for Epicor's 3PL module configuration if licensed. Owner reconciliation runs concurrently: any Extensiv user referenced on orders or customers without a matching Epicor User is flagged for admin provisioning.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Epicor Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's operations lead reconciles record counts (Orders in, Customers in, Parts in, Inventory levels per Site, BOMs approved) against the Extensiv source. We spot-check 25-50 orders across different channels, statuses, and warehouses for field-level accuracy. Any mapping corrections, missing UD fields, or BOM configuration gaps are resolved in the Sandbox before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Sites and Warehouses (Epicor configuration, validated), Parts with BOMs (BOMs approved, then Part master records), Customers, Inventory (per Site from Extensiv warehouse snapshot), Purchase Orders, Stock Transfers, Sales Orders with line items and custom fields, Shipments linked to orders, and Bundle/Kit configuration verification. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Epicor's REST API and bulk data tools with rate-limit handling and exponential backoff.
Cutover, validation, and handoff documentation
We freeze new Extensiv writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Epicor as the system of record. We deliver an Integration Management filter audit showing which orders were migrated and which were excluded by active filters, an EDI connection inventory for DSCO reconfiguration, a BOM structure summary for kit products, and a written UD field map documenting every custom field migrated and its Epicor destination. We do not rebuild Extensiv automation logic (order routing rules, fulfillment priority logic, warehouse selection rules) in Epicor; this requires a separate Epicor configuration engagement or an Epicor partner implementation.
