Overview
Moving from Falcon ERP to Infor Cloudsuite is a multi-phase extraction-and-load project that begins with spreadsheet exports from Falcon ERP's reporting module since no public REST API exists, then restructures every entity into Infor's SQL Server-based migration database schema. Falcon ERP isolates each legal entity's accounts, customers, and vendors in separate company codes, so we run discrete export jobs per entity, tag records with their source company code, and load into Infor using the CloudSuite Migration Utility's Import Steps and Import Rule Definition forms to handle field-length differences, Y/N-to-Boolean conversions, and tax code mismatches. We preserve ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoice UUIDs in Infor custom fields to maintain Saudi VAT audit continuity, build a GCC VAT mapping table cross-referencing Falcon's internal codes against Infor's tax configuration, and recalculate fixed-asset depreciation schedules on load. Workflows, automations, and report definitions do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of Falcon ERP's automation objects and configured reports for the customer's Infor administrator to rebuild post-cutover. Implementation timelines for Infor CloudSuite typically run nine to eighteen months for full deployments, with data migration scope fitting within a four-to-eight-week extraction and load window.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Falcon ERP 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.
Falcon ERP
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
General Ledger Account (COA)
1:1Falcon ERP stores a hierarchical Chart of Accounts with account types (Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, Expense) and currency assignments. We export account codes, names, types, and currency flags to CSV, then map each to Infor CloudSuite's COA structure via the Import Rule Definition form. Falcon ERP's internal account code format (which may include segment prefixes for cost centers) is normalized to Infor CloudSuite's account code length and segment configuration during the transform step. Multi-segment COA configurations (if Falcon ERP uses Business Unit or Department segments) are preserved as Infor CloudSuite account segments.
Falcon ERP
Customers
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer (AR Ledger)
1:1Falcon ERP customer records include billing address, credit limit, payment terms, and AR balance. We export all customer fields to CSV, map to Infor CloudSuite Customer, and resolve the AR terms and credit limit configuration. Falcon ERP's customer-specific tax registration numbers (TRN for UAE VAT, VAT number for Saudi) are stored in Infor CloudSuite's Tax Registration fields. Customer balances are verified against Falcon ERP's AR aging report before the Infor load to catch any truncation in the spreadsheet export.
Falcon ERP
Vendors
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier (AP Ledger)
1:1Falcon ERP vendor records parallel customer records with AP terms and withholding tax (WHT) codes required for GCC compliance. We export vendors and map to Infor CloudSuite Supplier, preserving WHT configuration flags. Falcon ERP's vendor-specific tax registration and CR number fields map to Infor CloudSuite's supplier tax registration fields. Separate AP aging reports per vendor are reconciled against the exported vendor balance to ensure no open invoice lines are lost in the spreadsheet export.
Falcon ERP
Items
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item (Product and Inventory)
1:1Items include product/service classification, cost, price, inventory tracking flags, and stock levels by warehouse location. We export items with stock levels per location and map to Infor CloudSuite Item Master, preserving unit of measure, cost layer method (FIFO or Standard), and inventory tracking flags. Falcon ERP's item-specific tax codes (VAT rate assignments) are mapped to Infor CloudSuite's tax attribute on item. For manufactured items with BOMs, the item record flags the routing link to manufacturing.
Falcon ERP
Open AR/AP
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Open AR Ledger / Open AP Ledger
1:1Outstanding invoices, credit notes, and payment schedules are exported per customer and vendor. We map open balances to Infor CloudSuite's AR/AP register, preserving aging buckets (Current, 30-60-90+ days), due dates, and invoice reference numbers. Falcon ERP's ZATCA e-invoice UUID embedded in each open invoice is preserved in a custom field (zakatca_uuid__c) on the Infor CloudSuite AR/AP record to maintain Saudi VAT audit trail continuity. Open invoice counts are reconciled to the penny against Falcon ERP's trial balance before the Infor load is committed.
Falcon ERP
Historical Transactions
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Journal Entries (Historical)
1:1Past invoices, payments, receipts, and credit notes spanning 2-3 years of history are exportable to spreadsheet from Falcon ERP's reporting module. We export transaction headers and line items separately, then map to Infor CloudSuite Journal Entry records with account references, debit/credit amounts, and transaction dates preserved. Falcon ERP's journal entry numbering scheme is stored in a custom reference field on each Infor CloudSuite journal line. Historical transactions are loaded after the COA is validated to ensure all account codes exist in the destination.
Falcon ERP
Journal Entries
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Journal Entry
1:1Manual and recurring journal entries stored in Falcon ERP are exported with account references, amounts, and posting dates. We map to Infor CloudSuite Journal Entry, preserving the original journal number and description. Recurring journal entries (standing journals) are documented separately in the automation inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Infor CloudSuite's Recurring Journal template if required.
Falcon ERP
Fixed Assets
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Fixed Asset Register
1:1Fixed asset records include acquisition cost, acquisition date, depreciation method (straight-line or reducing balance), useful life, salvage value, and accumulated depreciation to date. We export the asset register from Falcon ERP and map to Infor CloudSuite Fixed Assets, recalculating remaining depreciation schedules on load using Infor CloudSuite's depreciation engine. Falcon ERP's asset tag numbers map to Infor CloudSuite's Asset ID field. Any fully depreciated assets are flagged for review before load to prevent unexpected depreciation entries.
Falcon ERP
Employees
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Employee (HCM)
1:1Employee records include personal details (name, ID, nationality, join date), department, job title, employment status, and reporting manager. We export all employee data and map to Infor CloudSuite HCM Employee, preserving effective-dated changes where Falcon ERP tracks history. Falcon ERP's employee-specific WHT configuration flags migrate to Infor CloudSuite's employee tax profile. Active and inactive employee records are loaded together to preserve headcount history; inactive status is set on the Infor record to match Falcon ERP's employment_status field.
Falcon ERP
Payroll Records
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Payroll Register (Payroll Module)
1:1Payroll history includes salary components, allowances, deductions, and tax deductions per pay period. We export payroll registers from Falcon ERP and map to Infor CloudSuite Payroll, preserving pay components (Basic, Housing, Transport, Commissions), deduction types (loan repayments, benefits), and WHT deductions. Each pay period is loaded as a separate payroll run with employee-level detail. Falcon ERP's salary advance and loan balance records are mapped to Infor CloudSuite's employee advance and loan modules with remaining balance recalculated on load.
Falcon ERP
VAT/ZATCA Compliance Data
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Tax Transaction Register
lossyVAT returns and ZATCA e-invoice records contain GCC-specific tax codes and e-invoice reference numbers. We export tax transactions and build a VAT mapping table during scoping that cross-references Falcon ERP's internal tax codes against Infor CloudSuite's tax configuration. ZATCA Phase 2 UUIDs from Falcon ERP's e-invoice records are preserved in a custom field on each Infor CloudSuite AR/AP record or journal entry for audit continuity. Where no tax code match exists, we flag the discrepancy and create new tax codes in Infor CloudSuite before loading any financial transactions.
Falcon ERP
Manufacturing BOMs and Work Orders
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Bill of Materials and Work Order
1:1Bill of Materials and work orders define product recipes, component quantities, and production steps. We export BOM structures (parent item, components, quantities per, Phantom BOM flags) and open work orders from Falcon ERP, then map to Infor CloudSuite Industrial's BOM and Work Order modules. BOM routing steps (operations, work centers, machine hours) are mapped to Infor CloudSuite's routing configuration. Work order status (Released, In-Process, Completed, Closed) is preserved, with any partially completed work orders flagged for review before load to prevent inventory inconsistency in Infor CloudSuite.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export feasibility assessment
We audit the Falcon ERP environment across all active company codes, installed modules (Finance, Inventory, Payroll, Manufacturing), and data volumes per entity. We identify which Falcon ERP reports are available as standard exports versus which require custom report requests from Falcon ERP support. We extract Falcon ERP's chart of accounts structure, tax code list, customer and vendor counts, open AR/AP aging snapshots, and manufacturing BOM count. We pair this with Infor CloudSuite edition selection (Industrial for manufacturing, Distribution for wholesale, or Financials for finance-only) and assess whether the Falcon ERP database is accessible via direct SQL read-only connection for Migration Utility compatibility. The discovery output is a written export plan with record counts per entity and a recommendation on whether to use the Infor Migration Utility or direct API load.
VAT mapping table and ZATCA field configuration
We build the GCC VAT mapping table that cross-references every Falcon ERP internal tax code to an Infor CloudSuite Tax Code, Tax Type, and Rate combination. For Saudi operations, we configure a custom ZATCA UUID field (zakatca_invoice_uuid__c) on the AR/AP and Journal Entry forms in Infor CloudSuite before any financial data loads. We map Falcon ERP's withholding tax vendor configuration to Infor CloudSuite's WHT rules per supplier. The mapping table is reviewed and signed off by the customer's finance and tax team before transformation begins.
Entity mapping and multi-company export coordination
We map each Falcon ERP company code to an Infor CloudSuite Legal Entity or Business Unit depending on the consolidation requirements. We sequence the export jobs to run per company code, with each export tagged with its source entity for tagging during the Infor load. For inter-company transactions in Falcon ERP (where one company code invoices another), we flag these for manual review or pre-configure Infor CloudSuite's inter-company elimination rules before loading. We extract the COA, customer, and vendor master data first (per entity), followed by open balances, then historical transactions.
Sandbox load and reconciliation
We load all master data (COA, customers, vendors, items, fixed assets, employees) into a pre-production Infor CloudSuite environment using the Migration Utility's preliminary data transfer step. The Data Assessment Report (CSV output from Infor CloudSuite) is shared with the customer's finance and operations leads for verification against Falcon ERP source reports. We reconcile GL trial balances from Falcon ERP against the Infor CloudSuite-loaded totals, verify AR/AP aging buckets match source-to-destination, and confirm employee headcount and payroll totals per period. Any mapping corrections are applied in the transform layer before the production migration run.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in dependency order: COA first (all account codes must exist before transactions), then Customers and Vendors (for AR/AP lookup resolution), then Items and BOMs (for inventory and manufacturing lookups), then Open AR/AP balances (with ZATCA UUID preservation), then Historical Transactions and Journal Entries, then Fixed Assets (with depreciation recalculation), then Employees and Payroll Records (with WHT configuration), then Manufacturing BOMs and Work Orders. Each phase emits a row-count and balance reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Falcon ERP writes are frozen during the production migration window.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We run a final delta migration of any records modified during the production migration window, then enable Infor CloudSuite as the system of record. We deliver the Falcon ERP automation and workflow inventory document to the customer's Infor administrator, listing each configured report, automated journal entry, and workflow with its Infor CloudSuite equivalent recommendation. We do not rebuild Falcon ERP report definitions as Infor CloudSuite reports; we deliver the report specification inventory for the admin to rebuild in Infor CloudSuite's reporting toolset. We support a one-week post-cutover window to resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer. Post-cutover admin support, workflow rebuild, and report rebuild are outside standard migration scope and are separate engagements.
