Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from FACT ERP.NG to Infor Cloudsuite is a structural migration driven by scale and industry depth rather than a simple record copy. FACT ERP.NG is an SME-targeted ERP built for Singapore and Malaysian markets with a Configuration Only model, tightly coupling modules like Payroll and Financials through direct GL journal postings. Infor Cloudsuite is a multi-tenant cloud ERP on AWS with industry-specific editions for manufacturing, distribution, food and beverage, and other verticals, priced per user with custom enterprise quotes. We resolve the mandatory payroll-before-GL load order derived from FACT's architecture, replay every configuration parameter as an explicit Infor setup record to avoid running on defaults, and preserve cross-module lookups (Customer-to-Order, Supplier-to-PO, Item-to-BOM) so that migrated records do not become orphaned in Infor. We do not migrate dashboards, workflows, automations, or e-invoice XML as executable objects; we deliver written inventories and rebuild guides for each.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

FACT ERP.NG logo

FACT ERP.NG

What's pushing teams away

  • Slow report rendering and processing delays—users report waiting extended periods for what should be quick queries, especially on larger datasets with full period ranges.
  • Limited depth in certain functional areas—some users supplement FACT ERP.NG with separate software for tasks like advanced HR analytics or niche manufacturing scheduling that the built-in modules do not fully cover.
  • Learning curve for new users despite ease-of-use claims—while the interface is familiar to power users, employees unfamiliar with integrated ERP workflows require structured training before becoming productive.
  • Customisation constraints frustrate niche industry requirements—the Configuration Only model means businesses with highly specific workflows sometimes cannot adapt the system without workaround processes.

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 FACT ERP.NG objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a FACT ERP.NG 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.

FACT ERP.NG

Customer

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer

1:1
Fully supported

Customer records in FACT ERP.NG carry addresses, contact details, GST/Tax IDs, credit limits, and payment terms. All standard fields migrate 1:1 to Infor. We preserve Customer-to-Sales-Order and Customer-to-Journal-Entry lookups so that account history is intact on day one in Infor. Credit limits and payment terms require mapping to Infor's credit control configuration fields. Any inactive customer flag from FACT becomes a Status field in Infor. The customer is loaded before any related transactional records so that parent-record lookup integrity is satisfied at the moment of transactional insert.

FACT ERP.NG

Supplier

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Supplier

1:1
Fully supported

Supplier master records include bank details, tax registration, and payment terms. We map them to Infor's Vendor or Supplier object, preserving Supplier-to-Purchase-Order and Supplier-to-AP-invoice linkages. Bank details require mapping to Infor's payment setup fields. Tax registration numbers migrate to Infor's tax registration table. Supplier-to-PO lookups are resolved at migration time so that open purchase orders reference valid suppliers on first insert into Infor.

FACT ERP.NG

Item / Product

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item

1:1
Fully supported

Items carry pricing, BOM links, serial number flags, and barcode data. Multi-level BOM rows are chunked individually and loaded with parent-item resolution. Serial and batch tracking fields require value-level mapping since Infor stores serial numbers in a separate register table rather than on the item master. Pricing migrates to Infor's price list structure. Items are loaded before Sales Orders and Purchase Orders so that line-item references are satisfied at the moment of transactional insert.

FACT ERP.NG

Sales Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Sales Order

1:1
Fully supported

Sales Orders carry customer references, line items, pricing, taxes, and fulfillment status. We map each order header and its lines as a single transactional unit so that partial fulfillments are preserved in Infor. Open versus closed status flags determine the Infor order lifecycle state. Pricing and tax amounts are reconciled against the source FACT totals before insert. The customer reference is resolved against the Infor Customer lookup before order insert to avoid orphaned records.

FACT ERP.NG

Purchase Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Purchase Order

1:1
Fully supported

Purchase Orders carry supplier references, line items, expected delivery dates, and GRN linkages. We preserve the header-to-line structure and flag any open versus closed PO status for Infor's PO lifecycle management. Supplier references are resolved against the Infor Supplier lookup before insert. GRN linkages migrate as a separate document reference note rather than a direct linkage since Infor's GRN model is separate from PO header. Expected delivery dates and payment terms are mapped from FACT's supplier parameters.

FACT ERP.NG

GL Account

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

GL Account

1:1
Fully supported

FACT ERP.NG uses a standard COA structure with account codes, descriptions, and account types. We map account codes directly and flag any account that carries a balance so that opening balances are posted correctly in Infor. Account type mapping (Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, Expense) is required. The GL Chart of Accounts is loaded before any Journal Entry import so that account references are satisfied. Accounts with active balances receive opening balance entries as the first journal batch in the migration sequence.

FACT ERP.NG

Journal Entry

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Journal Entry

1:1
Fully supported

FACT ERP.NG posts payroll, AR, and AP directly to the GL via journal entries. These are date-stamped, source-referenced records. We extract them in date-range batches and map them to Infor's financial journal structure. Journal source references (payroll, AR, AP) are preserved as audit metadata. Because payroll journals are tightly coupled to the Payroll module in FACT, we enforce a sequencing dependency: Payroll migrates first, GL journals migrate second. This prevents orphaned debit/credit pairs and duplicate postings.

FACT ERP.NG

Inventory / Warehouse

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Inventory

1:1
Mapping required

Inventory balances are maintained per warehouse per item. We migrate current stock positions, reorder levels, and warehouse assignments. Serial and batch tracking fields require value-level mapping since Infor stores serial numbers in a separate register table rather than on the item master. Warehouse codes in FACT are mapped to Infor's site or warehouse codes. Inventory quantities are reconciled against the GL trial balance before and after migration to catch any valuation discrepancies.

FACT ERP.NG

Fixed Asset

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Fixed Asset

1:1
Fully supported

Fixed Asset records include acquisition cost, depreciation method, accumulated depreciation, and asset location. Depreciation schedules are generated per accounting period. We map asset registers and depreciation schedules to Infor's fixed asset module. Acquisition dates and depreciation methods (straight-line, declining balance) are mapped to Infor's depreciation profile configuration. Accumulated depreciation at the migration date is entered as an opening balance in Infor's asset register.

FACT ERP.NG

Employee / Payroll

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Employee

1:1
Fully supported

Employee records include salary components, tax deductions, EPF/CPF contributions, and leave balances. Payroll in FACT ERP.NG posts directly to the GL, creating a dependency chain we must resolve before the GL module migrates. Employee master data migrates before payroll transactions so that payroll references are satisfied. Compensation history may require review for Infor HCM compatibility; we migrate the current salary structure and statutory deduction configuration as the primary record and flag any historical payroll runs that require separate handling.

FACT ERP.NG

CRM Lead / Contact / Opportunity

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

CRM Lead / Contact / Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

The CRM module holds Leads, Contacts, Opportunities, and Activities. We migrate all four as linked objects preserving the contact-to-opportunity relationship. Opportunity stage and owner assignment are preserved. CRM data migrates after Customer and before Opportunity so that the contact-to-account lookup is resolved. Activity records (calls, tasks, notes) migrate via Infor's activity APIs or bulk import with parent-record resolution. The Infor CRM module must be provisioned and configured before CRM data loads.

FACT ERP.NG

Configuration Parameter

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Configuration / Custom Field

lossy
Fully supported

FACT ERP.NG's Configuration Only model stores business rules, workflow states, inventory matrix settings, and tax configurations as parameters rather than user-defined fields. We extract every active parameter as a configuration record, map it to an equivalent Infor setup table or custom field, and generate a configuration-replay script as part of the migration package. If parameters are skipped, Infor runs with default values, causing incorrect tax rates, pricing tiers, and approval workflows in production. We document every active parameter during discovery and validate the replay against source totals before sign-off.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Payroll-General Ledger sequencing is mandatory, not optional

    FACT ERP.NG posts payroll journal entries directly to the General Ledger, tightly coupling Payroll and Financials. During migration, Payroll data must load first, we extract the resulting GL postings as linked journal entry records, and then Financials loads second. Loading GL before Payroll creates duplicate postings or orphaned debit/credit pairs in Infor. We enforce this dependency in all migration timelines and flag it during discovery scoping so that the payroll migration window is fully validated before the GL migration window opens.

  • Configuration parameters must be extracted and replayed explicitly

    FACT ERP.NG's Configuration Only model stores business rules, approval workflows, inventory matrix settings, and tax rates as platform parameters rather than user-defined fields. There is no equivalent in Infor where these default to standard values. We treat every non-default parameter as a migration object: we extract the active values, map them to equivalent Infor setup records or custom fields, and generate a configuration-replay script. If parameters are skipped, Infor will apply default values, causing incorrect tax rates, pricing tiers, and approval rules in production.

  • No public API means extraction method is confirmed at discovery

    FACT ERP.NG does not publish a documented REST or GraphQL API. We rely on database-level extraction where direct SQL Server access is available, or on FACT's built-in export utilities for file-based extraction. File-based extraction introduces batch-size limits and encoding considerations that do not apply to direct-DB extraction. We confirm the extraction method during discovery and adjust migration timelines accordingly for file-based versus direct-DB approaches. FACT ERP.NG instances deployed on hosted infrastructure may require the customer to coordinate database access with FACT Software directly.

  • Slow FACT report rendering can extend validation cycles

    Verified reviews on Capterra and SoftwareSuggest report slow report processing on broad date ranges and large data volumes. We pull live comparison reports from FACT ERP.NG to verify migrated GL totals, inventory balances, and payroll runs against Infor totals after each phase. If FACT's report rendering takes extended periods, the validation cycle extends. We schedule report extraction during off-peak hours and pre-generate reports before the migration window to avoid blocking on FACT's rendering performance.

  • Infor Migration Utility requires SQL Server as the source

    Infor CloudSuite's Migration Utility accepts external source data via SQL Server 2008 or later. FACT ERP.NG instances running on other database platforms cannot use the Infor Migration Utility directly. We handle this constraint by using our own extraction and transformation pipeline that targets Infor's REST and Bulk APIs rather than relying on Infor's utility. The migration plan accounts for this so that the database platform of the source FACT system is confirmed during discovery.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful FACT ERP.NG to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Discovery and extraction method confirmation

    We audit the FACT ERP.NG instance across installed modules, company count, GL structure, active configuration parameters, transactional volumes, and payroll-GL coupling. We confirm whether direct SQL Server access is available for database-level extraction or whether FACT's export utilities are the primary extraction path. We produce a written migration scope that lists every object, estimated row counts per object, the configuration parameter inventory, and the extraction method recommendation. This output anchors the timeline and pricing and is the reference against which the final migration is validated.

  2. Schema design and Infor CloudSuite environment provisioning

    We design the destination schema in the Infor CloudSuite environment, mapping every FACT entity to its Infor equivalent. This includes mapping COA structures, tax configurations, warehouse and site codes, price list hierarchies, and any FACT custom fields to Infor custom fields or setup tables. Configuration parameters from FACT are mapped to Infor setup records and documented as a replay checklist. The Infor CRM module and fixed asset module are provisioned if not already present. Schema is validated in a pre-production environment before production migration begins.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into the Infor CloudSuite pre-production environment using production-like data volumes. The customer validates record counts (GL accounts, customers, suppliers, open orders, inventory positions), spot-checks twenty to fifty records against the FACT source, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Configuration parameter replay is validated against FACT totals. Any mapping corrections happen here, not in production. This step is the primary risk mitigation for a production cutover.

  4. Extraction, cleansing, and sequencing design

    We extract data from FACT ERP.NG using the confirmed method (direct SQL or export utilities), cleanse records identified in discovery, and design the load sequence. The payroll-before-GL dependency is enforced as the first structural sequencing constraint. Master data (accounts, contacts, items) loads before transactional records (orders, inventory, journals). We run a trial load of each phase into a staging area to confirm transformation logic before the production migration window opens.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: COA first, then Customers, Suppliers, Items, Employees, Payroll, Journal Entries, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Inventory, Fixed Assets, and CRM data last. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. The payroll-before-GL sequencing is enforced: Payroll migrates first, GL journals migrate second. Configuration parameter replay runs as a final setup step before cutover validation. We do not migrate workflows, automations, or alerts as executable code.

  6. Cutover, delta sync, and workflow rebuild handoff

    We freeze FACT ERP.NG writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Infor CloudSuite as the system of record. We validate totals across GL, AR, AP, inventory, and payroll. We deliver a written inventory of every FACT workflow, alert, and report configuration with Infor equivalents documented for the customer's admin team or Infor implementation partner to rebuild. We do not rebuild FACT workflows or automations as Infor automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement. We support a one-week post-cutover hypercare window for data reconciliation issues raised by the customer.

Most migrations land between six and ten weeks for a single FACT entity with core financials, open orders, and under 50,000 transactional records. Migrations involving multi-site FACT instances, payroll-General Ledger dependency resolution across entity boundaries, or large open-order volumes with complex BOM structures extend to fourteen to twenty weeks. This aligns with the Infor CloudSuite implementation timeline of nine to eighteen months, where the data migration phase typically occupies six to twelve weeks of that window depending on scope and team allocation.
