Overview
Moving from Exxas Cloud Business Platform to Infor Cloudsuite is a migration between two fundamentally different ERP architectures. Exxas is a Swiss all-in-one cloud platform targeting German-speaking SMEs across eight integrated modules with concurrent-user licensing. Infor Cloudsuite is a multi-tenant SaaS ERP built on AWS with industry-specific editions (Industrial, Distribution, Fashion, Food & Beverage, and more) that shares the Infor OS platform layer across all tenants. We extract data through Exxas API 2.0 endpoints with GraphQL support, normalize German-language field labels and date/currency formats to ISO standards, then load into Infor Cloudsuite's migration database using Infor's prescribed import sequence. Swiss payroll history tied to Exxas's statutory calculation engine does not migrate; we export compensation rates and employment history instead. Workflows, automations, and Exxas custom data masks require separate rebuild scope documented in our post-migration handoff.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Exxas Cloud Business Platform 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.
Exxas Cloud Business Platform
Central: Contacts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Party / PersonParty / ContactPerson
1:1Exxas Central module stores person-level contacts with custom fields and multi-currency billing addresses. We map these to Infor's ContactPerson or global party model depending on the target CloudSuite edition. German honorifics (Herr/Frau) map to Infor's gender or title fields. Email addresses, phone numbers, and postal addresses migrate to Infor's party contact fields with ISO-formatted country codes. Any Exxas custom fields on contacts become Infor extended attributes on the party record.
Exxas Cloud Business Platform
Central: Companies
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer / Supplier
1:1Exxas company records map to Infor Customer or Supplier party records depending on the account type field. The Exxas company registration number and VAT ID migrate to Infor's tax registration fields. Infor requires that at least one active party address exists before transaction records can be linked; we ensure address completeness during the extract phase and flag any company record missing a primary address.
Exxas Cloud Business Platform
Sales: Deal Pipeline and Stages
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Opportunity / Sales Quote / Sales Order
1:1Exxas Sales deals map to Infor Opportunities for pre-close pipeline tracking, with stage names translated to Infor's Sales Stage values. Closed-won Exxas deals become Infor Sales Orders; closed-lost deals are held as a flagged Opportunity with a loss reason custom field. The Infor CloudSuite migration utility handles the opportunity-stage mapping, but we pre-configure the sales process and record type in Infor before loading.
Exxas Cloud Business Platform
Sales: Line Items
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order Lines / Purchase Order Lines
1:1Exxas deal line items map to Infor Sales Order or Purchase Order lines with product reference, quantity, and unit price. We resolve the Infor Product2 equivalent using Exxas product code as the dedupe key. If Exxas uses bundled or composite pricing that Infor handles differently, we split into component lines and flag for Infor admin review.
Exxas Cloud Business Platform
Service: Tickets
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Service Request / Case
1:1Exxas Service tickets map to Infor Service Management (if CloudSuite Service edition is licensed) or to a custom Case object. Ticket priority, status, and assignment relationships preserve. Attachment handling depends on Infor's document management configuration; we migrate attachments as content records if the target Infor tenant has Document Management enabled, or flag for manual post-migration attachment as a documented step.
Exxas Cloud Business Platform
Projects: Projects and Sprints
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project / Work Order
1:1Exxas project hierarchies with sprints, tasks, and Kanban boards map to Infor Project Management or Manufacturing Work Orders depending on whether the project is customer-facing or production. Employee assignments link to Infor HCM employee records via worker ID. Sprint burndown metrics do not transfer; Infor does not store sprint velocity as a native metric and teams typically recreate these in Infor's reporting layer post-migration.
Exxas Cloud Business Platform
Products: Inventory and BOM
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item / Bill of Materials / Stock
1:1Exxas product records with pricing tiers and stock-on-hand map to Infor Item masters with inventory attributes. BOM relationships migrate to Infor Bill of Materials linked to the finished item. Warehouse-specific bin locations require manual reconciliation because Exxas bin configuration does not have a direct Infor equivalent; we provide a warehouse mapping table as part of the handoff.
Exxas Cloud Business Platform
Human Resources: Employees
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Worker / Person
1:1Exxas employee profiles with job titles, departments, employment start dates, and effective-date compensation history migrate to Infor HCM Worker records. Exxas country-specific benefits and Swiss social security identifiers migrate to Infor HCM extended fields. Historical pay rates migrate as read-only compensation records so that future Infor HCM payroll runs have reference data. We flag any employee record with missing required Infor HCM fields (legal name components, national ID) before import.
Exxas Cloud Business Platform
Payroll History
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Not migrated
1:1Exxas payroll run data is tightly coupled to Swiss statutory tax and social security calculation engines and does not migrate. Exxas payroll exports as read-only compensation history (effective-date pay rates, bonus records, deduction history) for reference in Infor HCM. Full payroll recomputation happens in Infor HCM's Swiss payroll module after go-live. This is disclosed upfront during scoping and is a non-negotiable limitation of this migration pair.
Exxas Cloud Business Platform
Finance: Journals, AP, and AR
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
General Ledger / Accounts Payable / Accounts Receivable
1:1Exxas chart of accounts migrates to Infor Financial Management with account type mapping (asset, liability, equity, revenue, expense). Open AP and AR records migrate as open items with customer/vendor references, invoice numbers, due dates, and amounts in the functional currency. Historical closed periods migrate as read-only journal batches for audit and regulatory reference. The Infor migration database requires account structure to be seeded before transaction records load, so we sequence the chart of accounts first.
Exxas Cloud Business Platform
Marketing: Campaigns
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Campaign (CRM extension)
1:1Exxas Marketing module stores campaign records with lead flows and lead assignments. Infor Cloudsuite ERP does not have a native marketing automation layer; campaigns from Exxas migrate as Infor CRM Campaign records for tracking reference, but lead scoring, lead nurturing, and campaign workflows do not transfer. We document the campaign list structure and suggest Infor Marketing Cloud or a third-party marketing automation tool if the customer requires continued campaign automation.

Infor OS tier-based usage limits gate API and BaaS capabilities
Custom Fields use inconsistent naming across Infor editions
SQL migration utility requires source database access
Multi-site and multi-currency data require separate period closure sequencing
REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and API schema enumeration
We request Exxas API credentials and enumerate the actual available objects, custom field definitions, and relationship endpoints through Exxas API 2.0 and Swagger. We audit the Exxas data landscape: record counts per module, custom data mask count and field type distribution, active workflow count, attachment volume, and payroll data scope. We pair this with Infor Cloudsuite edition confirmation (Industrial, Distribution, Fashion, or other) so that we can map Exxas modules to the relevant Infor functional areas. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with object-level mapping and a list of items excluded from automated migration.
Exxas data extraction and staging
We extract data from Exxas using API 2.0 endpoints with GraphQL queries for complex relationships, handling rate limiting with exponential backoff and batch chunking for large object sets (e.g., multi-year finance journals, large product catalogs). German-language field names and picklist values are translated to English in the staging layer. Dates and currencies are normalized to ISO and decimal formats. The staging database is built in a SQL environment (PostgreSQL or SQL Server) so that it is compatible with Infor CloudSuite's migration utility intake format. We run a data profiling pass to identify duplicates, referential integrity gaps, and missing required fields before Infor import begins.
Infor schema configuration and migration database setup
We configure the Infor CloudSuite target environment in a Sandbox or staging tenant. This includes setting up the chart of accounts structure, party type configuration (Customer, Supplier, Employee, Contact), item master and BOM structure, project templates, and the Infor Financial Management ledgers. We create the Infor migration database and specify import parameters connecting to the Exxas staging SQL environment. We pre-create any Infor extended attribute fields needed to capture Exxas custom field values that have no native Infor equivalent. This step requires coordination with the customer's Infor implementation partner if one is engaged.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full end-to-end migration into the Infor staging environment using production-equivalent data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Customers in, Workers in, Items in, open AP/AR in, Project hierarchies in), spot-checks 25-50 records per module against Exxas source, and reviews the data assessment report generated by Infor's migration utility. Any mapping corrections, missing field handling, and transformation adjustments happen in this phase. The customer signs off on the reconciled staging migration before production migration is scheduled.
Production migration in dependency order
We execute the production migration following Infor's prescribed sequence: chart of accounts first, then party master data (customers, suppliers, contacts, workers), then product and inventory records, then project hierarchies, then open AP/AR and deal records, then attachment content (if Infor Document Management is enabled). Each phase emits a row-count and error-rate report. Finance journal imports run last because they reference the complete chart of accounts and all party records. We use Infor's migration utility for structured records and direct API for any records that the utility cannot handle (e.g., custom object extensions).
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze Exxas write access during cutover, run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration window, then enable Infor Cloudsuite as the system of record. We deliver the workflow automation inventory document and the Exxas custom data mask field map to the customer's Infor admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve record-level reconciliation issues raised by the business. We do not rebuild Exxas workflows in Infor CloudSuite as part of the migration scope; that is a separate engagement with the customer's Infor implementation partner or internal admin team.
