Overview

What this migration involves

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.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Falcon ERP logo

Falcon ERP

What's pushing teams away

  • No public API means every integration and migration requires manual spreadsheet exports, making real-time automation impossible and data exports time-consuming.
  • Implementation and customization costs are opaque—no published pricing tiers—making budget forecasting difficult for finance teams.
  • As the business scales beyond 200+ users or multiple legal entities, the system's multi-entity consolidation and role-based access controls reach practical limits.
  • Support response times for complex technical issues lag behind what certified partners of global ERPs like SAP or Odoo provide.
  • Export-only data access means there is no reliable way to audit or reconcile data integrity without requesting the vendor directly.

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 Falcon ERP objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

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

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

General Ledger Account (COA)

1:1
Mapping required

Falcon 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

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer (AR Ledger)

1:1
Mapping required

Falcon 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

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Supplier (AP Ledger)

1:1
Mapping required

Falcon 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

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item (Product and Inventory)

1:1
Mapping required

Items 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

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Open AR Ledger / Open AP Ledger

1:1
Mapping required

Outstanding 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

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

GL Journal Entries (Historical)

1:1
Mapping required

Past 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

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Journal Entry

1:1
Mapping required

Manual 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

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Fixed Asset Register

1:1
Mapping required

Fixed 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

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Employee (HCM)

1:1
Mapping required

Employee 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

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Payroll Register (Payroll Module)

1:1
Mapping required

Payroll 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

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Tax Transaction Register

lossy
Mapping required

VAT 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

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Bill of Materials and Work Order

1:1
Mapping required

Bill 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

  • Falcon ERP has no API; exports require manual coordination

    Falcon ERP exposes no REST or bulk API endpoint for programmatic data access. Every migration must be built around CSV and XLS exports generated from Falcon ERP's reporting module. We automate export generation via the Falcon ERP UI where possible, but any custom reports, non-standard layouts, or data outside the standard report definitions must be requested directly from Falcon ERP support. We validate exported row counts against Falcon ERP's GL trial balance and AR/AP aging reports before loading to catch truncation or filtering that the export tool may silently apply. This export coordination step adds one to two weeks to the scoping phase compared to API-based sources.

  • Infor Migration Utility requires SQL Server source connectivity

    Infor CloudSuite's Migration Utility requires a SQL Server 2008 or later source database that can communicate with the Infor CloudSuite migration database. Falcon ERP does not expose its underlying SQL database for direct external connection; the migration must use spreadsheet exports instead of the Migration Utility's direct table mapping. We adapt the export-and-transform approach to match the Migration Utility's import table format, but this bypasses the utility's pre-configured stored procedures (SourceDL_SourceTableName_ImportSp) and requires custom Import Rule Definitions for each entity. Falcon ERP customers running on SQL Server-hosted instances (if applicable) may be able to grant read-only database access, which we assess during scoping.

  • Multi-entity isolation requires separate export jobs per company code

    Falcon ERP supports multiple company entities within a single database, but each entity's accounts, customers, vendors, and transactions are isolated at the company-code level. When exporting, we must run separate export jobs per company code and tag each record with its source entity during the load step. Infor CloudSuite supports multi-entity with shared COA and configurable inter-company eliminations, but the entity mapping must be designed before load: Falcon ERP company codes map to Infor CloudSuite Legal Entities or Business Units depending on whether Falcon ERP uses full legal entity separation or cost-center consolidation. We validate that no inter-company transactions are accidentally collapsed during the extract process.

  • ZATCA Phase 2 e-invoice UUIDs require custom field preservation

    Saudi Arabian ZATCA Phase 2 compliance requires e-invoice UUIDs and QR codes embedded in invoice records. Falcon ERP stores these as platform-specific identifiers. When migrating open AR/AP invoices and historical transactions to Infor CloudSuite, we preserve the original ZATCA UUID in a custom field (zakatca_invoice_uuid__c) on the destination AR/AP and journal records. Infor CloudSuite does not have a native ZATCA-specific field in all regional editions, so we configure the custom field during the Infor CloudSuite setup phase before any financial data loads. This field is critical for any future ZATCA audit or e-invoice cancellation flow in Saudi Arabia.

  • GCC VAT tax codes map inconsistently; a mapping table is mandatory

    Falcon ERP encodes VAT rates (5% standard UAE, 15% excise goods, 0% exempt, reverse charge) as internal tax codes that do not automatically match Infor CloudSuite's tax configuration. We build a GCC VAT mapping table during scoping that cross-references Falcon ERP's tax code list against Infor CloudSuite's Tax Codes and Rates. For each Falcon ERP tax code, we identify the corresponding Infor CloudSuite tax authority, tax type, and rate combination. Where no match exists, we create new tax codes in Infor CloudSuite before loading any transaction data. Reverse charge entries require particular attention because the tax treatment differs between Falcon ERP's internal logic and Infor CloudSuite's VAT engine configuration.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Falcon ERP to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

Data extraction and load from Falcon ERP to Infor Cloudsuite typically runs four to eight weeks for environments under 50,000 customer and vendor records, 2-3 company entities, and 12 months of open AR/AP history. Migrations with 3+ legal entities, 2-3 years of historical transaction journals, complex BOM structures, or fixed asset registers spanning multiple sites move to eight to fourteen weeks. The export feasibility assessment (Step 1) adds one to two weeks because Falcon ERP has no API and requires manual coordination for any non-standard report requests. Falcon ERP customers should plan for the full Infor CloudSuite implementation timeline of nine to eighteen months, of which data migration represents a subset.
