Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Extensiv Order Manager to Infor CloudSuite is an OMS-to-ERP migration that shifts from a channel-centric order and inventory layer to a full financial and supply chain suite. Extensiv organizes inventory by warehouse with channel assignments on orders; Infor CloudSuite uses a location-based model where Business Partners, Items, and Location records form the structural backbone. We reconcile multi-warehouse inventory positions into Infor Location records, map bundle and kit structures to Infor product configurations, and sequence Purchase Orders after validating that all vendor records exist in the destination. We do not migrate Integration Management filter settings, DSCO EDI connections, or channel credentials as live integrations; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer to reconfigure post-migration. Workflows and automation rules do not migrate.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Extensiv Order Manager logo

Extensiv Order Manager

What's pushing teams away

  • Some customers report integration flexibility limitations, noting the platform does not connect to all niche marketplaces or regional sales channels they need.
  • A steep implementation and training curve frustrates teams without dedicated IT resources, with one reviewer noting 2 weeks of post-launch testing was necessary.
  • Pricing is opaque and available only upon request, which causes mid-market companies to seek alternatives with published costs.
  • Known credential validation issues and periodic sync failures cause frustration for operations teams running high-volume order flows.

Choosing

Infor CloudSuite Corporate logo

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

What's pulling them in

  • Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific out of the box — manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and food & beverage editions ship with preconfigured workflows that reduce the need for extensive customization and accelerate time to value for operations-heavy organizations.
  • The platform's deep integration with Excel for financial reporting is frequently cited as a key productivity feature, allowing finance teams to pull data directly and make changes without leaving familiar tooling.
  • AWS-hosted multi-tenant deployment eliminates data center management for IT teams, and Infor OS provides a unified integration layer (ION) that connects the CloudSuite to third-party applications without point-to-point middleware.
  • Organizations with multi-site or multi-country operations choose Infor for its multicurrency, multilanguage, and local regulatory compliance capabilities across 175+ countries, which simplifies consolidation for global CFOs.
  • The two-tier ERP strategy positioning lets corporate headquarters run CloudSuite while subsidiaries run lighter instances, which appeals to complex organizational structures that want standardization without full replacement.

Object mapping

How Extensiv Order Manager objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a Extensiv Order Manager 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.

Extensiv Order Manager

Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Order / Sales Order

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Orders map to Infor CloudSuite Sales Order records. We preserve order number, order date, customer reference, order status, channel assignment, line items with SKU and quantity, handling fees, and shipping cost. Channel assignments from Extensiv (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, etc.) are preserved in a custom field or Business Partner role in Infor. We audit the Integration Management Skipped Orders log before scoping to confirm no orders are excluded by filter mismatches in Order Status, Payment Status, or date range.

Extensiv Order Manager

Customer

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Business Partner

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Customer records map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner entries. We preserve contact fields, billing address, shipping address, and any pre-configured custom fields associated with the customer record. Business Partner role (Customer, Vendor, or both) is assigned during import based on whether the Extensiv customer also has associated Purchase Orders or is only an order source.

Extensiv Order Manager

Product (SKU)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Products map to Infor CloudSuite Item master records. We preserve SKU (mapped to Item Code), product name, description, standard cost, standard price, and unit of measure. The Extensiv hs_sku equivalent maps to the Item Code or an alias in Infor. Products are imported before inventory so that Item references are satisfied when stock positions load.

Extensiv Order Manager

Inventory

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Location Stock / Item Stock

1:many
Mapping required

Extensiv stores per-warehouse inventory levels. We aggregate or split these into Infor CloudSuite Location-level stock positions. Customers must designate canonical warehouse(s) during discovery. If the customer runs multiple active fulfillment locations in Extensiv, we create corresponding Location records in Infor and map each warehouse's stock separately. Lot and serial number assignments from Extensiv Warehouse Manager carry into Infor if the destination uses lot control; otherwise they are flagged as requiring manual reconciliation.

Extensiv Order Manager

Shipment

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Shipment / Outbound Logistics

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Shipment records map to Infor CloudSuite Shipment records, preserving carrier, tracking number, shipment date, and shipping cost. We validate that carrier codes in Extensiv have corresponding carrier codes in Infor; unmapped carriers are logged for admin configuration before shipment import.

Extensiv Order Manager

Warehouse

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Location

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Warehouses map to Infor CloudSuite Location records. We preserve warehouse name, warehouse ID, and currency. Infor Location records carry additional configuration (site, company code, address structure) that we complete during schema mapping. Warehouse-level filter settings in Extensiv Integration Management do not migrate; they are documented as a configuration task for the customer post-migration.

Extensiv Order Manager

Purchase Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Purchase Order

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Purchase Orders map to Infor CloudSuite Purchase Order records with vendor, PO date, PO status, and line items. Vendor records must exist in Infor before PO import, so we run vendor validation during discovery and flag any Extensiv vendors without matching Infor Business Partner records. The customer's admin creates missing vendor records before PO migration begins. Inbound receipt records from Extensiv map to Infor PO receipt or goods receipt records.

Extensiv Order Manager

Stock Transfer

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Transfer Order

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Stock Transfers between warehouses map to Infor CloudSuite Transfer Order records. We preserve source warehouse, destination warehouse, line item quantities, and transfer status. In-flight transfers (status other than Complete) are flagged as requiring customer review because they represent open movement of inventory that may not cleanly map to Infor's transfer order state machine.

Extensiv Order Manager

Bundle / Kit

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Kit / Product Configuration

1:1
Fully supported

Extensiv Bundle and Kit products with parent-child SKU relationships map to Infor CloudSuite kit structures. We preserve bundle composition (component SKUs, quantities), pricing overrides at the bundle level, and component-level inventory assignments. Infor CloudSuite supports kit configurations that define the allowed components and exploded view; we use the Extensiv bundle breakdown as the source of truth for component relationships.

Extensiv Order Manager

Custom Fields

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Custom Fields / Extended Attributes

lossy
Mapping required

Extensiv custom fields on orders and customers require the 'Enable custom fields' admin setting to be active before extraction. We confirm this during discovery. Custom field values are mapped to Infor CloudSuite extended attributes or custom fields on the corresponding entity. Ad-hoc order-level custom fields migrate as order attributes; pre-configured customer-level custom fields migrate as Business Partner extended fields.

Extensiv Order Manager

Sales Channel

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Business Partner Role or Custom Attribute

lossy
Fully supported

Extensiv Sales Channels (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, etc.) are stored as integration sources assigned per order. We map channel assignments to an Infor Business Partner role type or to a custom attribute field on the Sales Order, depending on whether the customer uses Infor's channel management configuration. Channel connection credentials do not migrate; we document the channel list for the customer to re-establish integrations post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Multi-warehouse inventory reconciliation across location boundaries

    Extensiv stores inventory as per-warehouse positions, and brands often run five or more active warehouse locations simultaneously. Infor CloudSuite uses a Location-based inventory model where each location has its own stock ledger. We must reconcile all warehouse positions from Extensiv into corresponding Infor Locations, which means customers with inconsistent warehouse data (negative stock, duplicate SKU names, or unallocated inventory) will encounter import rejections or phantom stock positions in Infor. We validate Extensiv warehouse data against a reconciliation checklist before any inventory load and flag discrepancies to the customer for resolution before the production migration window.

  • Bundle and kit structures require pre-migration component validation

    Extensiv bundles and kits maintain component-level SKU relationships with individual inventory tracking per component. Infor CloudSuite kit structures require all component Items to exist in the Item master before the kit can be defined. If the migration imports kit parent records before all components are loaded, the kit definition fails. We sequence kit migrations after the full product catalog is loaded and perform a component existence check against Infor before writing any kit structures. Bundle pricing overrides are preserved as price list entries in Infor.

  • Purchase Orders depend on vendor records existing in Infor

    Extensiv Purchase Orders reference vendor records, and Infor CloudSuite enforces referential integrity on PO-to-vendor links. If a vendor in Extensiv does not have a matching Business Partner record in Infor, the PO import fails or the PO is created without a vendor link, breaking receipt matching. We audit the full vendor list during discovery, create a vendor reconciliation report, and hold PO migration until the customer confirms all vendors are provisioned in Infor. This is a sequential dependency that can extend the migration timeline if not handled early.

  • DSCO EDI connections and channel credentials do not migrate as live integrations

    Extensiv DSCO connections (including DSCO V2 to V3 cutover scenarios) carry connection credentials and endpoint URLs that are not portable between platforms. EDI-only orders that exist solely within a DSCO connection may not appear in a standard CSV or REST export if the DSCO migration is not coordinated with data extraction. We audit all active EDI connections during discovery and extract order data from DSCO before any V3 cutover. Channel credentials (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart API tokens) do not migrate; we deliver a channel inventory document listing every connected channel for re-authentication in Infor's integration layer.

  • Date and timestamp handling across time zones

    Extensiv records timestamps in the account's configured time zone. Infor CloudSuite stores dates in UTC and displays them according to user and company time zone settings. Order dates, shipment dates, and PO creation dates must be normalized to UTC during the export transform. We apply a time zone conversion step during the Extensiv data extraction using the account's configured time zone from Extensiv's Admin settings. Date-only fields (such as order date) are imported as-is without time zone adjustment. Inconsistent date formats from bulk CSV exports are normalized during the staging transform before loading into Infor.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Extensiv Order Manager to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Discovery and integration audit

    We audit the Extensiv Order Manager account across all modules: Orders, Customers, Products, Inventory, Shipments, Warehouses, Purchase Orders, Stock Transfers, Bundles/Kits, and Custom Fields. We confirm the 'Enable custom fields' admin setting is active, review Integration Management filter configurations for Skipped Orders, audit all active DSCO and EDI connections, and extract a vendor list for Infor Business Partner reconciliation. We document the full inventory of sales channels and confirm which warehouses are active versus archived. The discovery output is a written migration scope with data volume estimates per object and a vendor readiness checklist for the customer.

  2. Schema mapping and Infor CloudSuite data model preparation

    We design the Infor CloudSuite target schema by mapping Extensiv entities to their Infor equivalents: Products to Item master, Customers to Business Partners, Warehouses to Locations, Purchase Orders to PO module, and Stock Transfers to Transfer Orders. We pre-create custom fields and extended attributes in Infor for any Extensiv custom fields, ensuring the schema is deployed to the target Infor environment (typically a sandbox or development tenant) before any data load. Bundle and kit structures are mapped to Infor kit configurations, and the component dependency order is documented so kit parents are not imported before components.

  3. Data validation and test migration

    We run a test migration into the Infor CloudSuite target environment using representative data volume. We validate inventory reconciliation across all warehouse locations (comparing Extensiv warehouse stock totals against what Infor Location records would receive), confirm vendor existence and PO linkage, test bundle component resolution, and reconcile order count against the Integration Management Skipped Orders log. Any mapping corrections, missing vendors, or bundle component gaps are resolved in this phase. The customer reviews the test migration output and signs off before production migration begins.

  4. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in strict dependency order. First: Locations (warehouse-to-Infor Location mapping) and Business Partner records (vendors and customers). Vendors must be present before any PO import; Business Partners must exist before Customer records load. Second: Product catalog including standalone SKUs, components, and kit structures. Third: Inventory levels per Location, with per-warehouse reconciliation validated against Extensiv stock reports. Fourth: Orders and Shipments, preserving channel assignments and historical timestamps. Fifth: Purchase Orders and Stock Transfers. Bundles and kits are loaded after all component Items are confirmed present. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  5. Final validation and channel reconfiguration handoff

    We run a final reconciliation comparing Extensiv record counts against Infor CloudSuite imported record counts across all objects. We spot-check 25-50 records per object type against the Extensiv source and validate bundle structure integrity. We deliver a written inventory of all active Integration Management connections, DSCO EDI endpoints, and sales channel credentials requiring reconfiguration in Infor. Workflows, routing rules, and channel filter settings do not migrate; we document them for the customer's admin team to reconfigure in Infor's integration and order management modules.

  6. Hypercare and reconciliation support

    We provide a one-week hypercare window following cutover during which we resolve any data reconciliation issues raised by the customer's operations team. This includes correcting mis-mapped inventory positions, resolving orphaned PO records without vendor links, and re-running bundle kit definitions if component references were broken during the first load pass. We do not rebuild order routing rules, Integration Management filter settings, or EDI connections as part of the standard migration scope; these are documented and handed off to the customer's Infor admin or implementation partner.

Migrations typically run 12-16 weeks for accounts under 50,000 orders, 10,000 SKUs, and two active warehouse locations. Projects with five or more warehouse locations, complex kit product hierarchies, or large PO histories (over 5,000 records) extend to 16-24 weeks. The data migration runs in parallel with the Infor CloudSuite implementation rather than after it, which keeps the overall project window shorter than adding migration time on top. The Infor CloudSuite deployment itself typically takes 9-18 months, with data migration occupying the later configuration and go-live phases.
