Overview

What this migration involves

Farvision ERP organizes data around real estate and infrastructure workflows: Projects with phase-based budgeting, Property units tied to lease schedules, Suppliers and Contractors linked to procurement chains, and a financial stack that centers on cost-centers tied to projects. Acumatica uses a modular ERP architecture where all transactions flow through Branch, Warehouse, and Account dimensions, with Projects as a separate cost-collection layer and Inventory Items as the master SKU record. We map Farvision's Projects to Acumatica's Projects (PM401000), Farvision's Property units to Acumatica's Non-Stock Items or Inventory Items depending on whether the unit is a sellable asset or a lease component, and Farvision's Supplier and Contractor masters to Acumatica's Vendors (AP303000). GL transactions, Sales Orders, and Purchase Receipts map to Acumatica's General Ledger (GL301000), Sales Orders (SO301000), and Purchase Receipts (PO301000) respectively. Our migration engine reads Farvision's REST API endpoints and writes via Acumatica's Import by Scenario framework and REST API, preserving original transaction dates, document numbers, and owner assignments. Workflows, approval chains, and custom Farvision formulas are not migrated — we export those definitions as a rebuild reference for your Acumatica implementation team.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Farvision ERP logo

Farvision ERP

What's pushing teams away

  • Slow record-insertion and processing performance frustrates users, especially during high-volume data entry periods or concurrent user load.
  • Non-intuitive user interface increases time-to-competency for new employees and drives up training costs for mid-market teams.
  • Difficulty generating complex reports without IT assistance undermines the promised self-service BI value proposition.
  • Yearly auto-renewing contracts with one-quarter advance cancellation notice create lock-in risk and budget unpredictability.
  • Support response quality is inconsistent, with some customers reporting helpful assistance while others experience delayed resolutions.

Choosing

Acumatica logo

Acumatica

What's pulling them in

  • Unlimited user licensing lets companies add staff without per-seat billing shocks, making Acumatica cost-predictable at scale.
  • Flexibility and scalability earn consistent praise — users value a platform that adapts to vertical workflows without forcing a redesign.
  • Real-time visibility across financials, inventory, and projects gives mid-market businesses a consolidated operational view previously available only in enterprise-tier ERPs.
  • Cloud-native architecture with automatic updates removes infrastructure management burden from in-house IT teams.
  • Modular licensing lets companies start with one or two suites (Financials, Distribution) and expand into Manufacturing or CRM incrementally.

Object mapping

How Farvision ERP objects map to Acumatica

Each row shows how a Farvision ERP object lands in Acumatica, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Farvision ERP

Company Master

maps to

Acumatica

Organizations (PM201000) or Branches (CS102000)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision stores each legal entity as a separate Company record with its own COA and address. Acumatica models legal entities as separate Tenants or as Branches under one Tenant — we create a Branch record per Farvision Company and map the COA segments accordingly.

Farvision ERP

Customer

maps to

Acumatica

Customers (AR303000)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision Customers map 1:1 to Acumatica Customers. Address, contact, credit limit, and payment terms transfer directly. Multiple Farvision contacts per Customer collapse to primary contact plus additional contact records in Acumatica. We preserve the customer classification and price class assignments from Farvision as Acumatica Customer Classes to maintain pricing integrity.

Farvision ERP

Supplier / Contractor

maps to

Acumatica

Vendors (AP303000)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision Supplier and Contractor masters both map to Acumatica Vendors. We preserve the Contractor flag as a custom Vendor Class so project-related payables route to the correct Cost Code in PM. Tax registration IDs and remittance addresses carry over to ensure accurate 1099 reporting and payment processing in Acumatica.

Farvision ERP

Property / Unit

maps to

Acumatica

Inventory Items (IN202000) or Non-Stock Items (NM204000)

many:1
Fully supported

Farvision Property Units used in sales or lease billing merge into Acumatica Inventory Items (if sellable) or Non-Stock Items (if cost-only). Unit type, tower, floor, and facing information map to Custom Fields on the item record. The unit's lease status and rental rate schedule are preserved in custom fields for billing integration.

Farvision ERP

Project

maps to

Acumatica

Projects (PM401000)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision Projects map directly to Acumatica Projects. Each Farvision Project phase becomes a discrete Task within the Acumatica Project. Phase budgets map to Task budgets in PM301000; we preserve the original phase codes in Cost Codes. Project-level custom fields for developer, location, and permit numbers transfer to custom fields on the Acumatica Project header.

Farvision ERP

Project Budget Line

maps to

Acumatica

Project Tasks + Cost Codes (PM302000)

1:many
Fully supported

Farvision budget lines contain both a cost category and an amount. We split these into Acumatica Cost Codes (the category dimension) linked to the Project Task, with amounts stored in the Task Budget view. Each Farvision budget line generates a separate Cost Code assignment with the corresponding budgeted amount. Blended-rate budgets are flagged for manual rate table entry.

Farvision ERP

GL Account

maps to

Acumatica

Chart of Accounts (GL202500)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision's 3-segment COA (Region.Entity.Type) maps to Acumatica's Branch plus Account plus Subaccount structure. We parse each Farvision segment and recompose it into the appropriate Acumatica segment; the Subaccount segment gets split if Farvision uses a compound Type code that encodes both cost center and function. All Farvision GL transactions repoint to the newly created Acumatica accounts.

Farvision ERP

Sales Order

maps to

Acumatica

Sales Orders (SO301000)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision sales orders map to Acumatica SO301000. Order type, customer, line items, and due dates transfer directly. Farvision's project-linked orders get the Project ID assigned on the SO line for billing integration. Warehouse and location assignments from Farvision lines populate the Acumatica shipment details, and any project-specific discount schedules are preserved as custom fields.

Farvision ERP

Purchase Order

maps to

Acumatica

Purchase Orders (PO301000)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision purchase orders map to Acumatica PO301000. Vendor, line items, and promised dates carry over. Lines linked to Farvision Projects carry the Project Task reference so receipts post to the correct cost bucket. The Acumatica PO retains the Farvision buyer assignment and approval status, with any held orders flagged for release in Acumatica's approval workflow.

Farvision ERP

Purchase Receipt

maps to

Acumatica

Purchase Receipts (PO302000)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision material receipts map to Acumatica PO302000. Receipt date, vendor, warehouse, and item quantities transfer. Landed costs from Farvision receipt add-ons accrue in Acumatica's Landed Cost application (LM503010). The original Farvision receipt number is stored in a custom field for cross-reference during reconciliation.

Farvision ERP

Invoice (AR / AP)

maps to

Acumatica

Invoices (AR301000 / AP301000)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision AR invoices map to Acumatica AR301000; AP invoices map to AP301000. Payment terms, due dates, and project references on lines carry over. Prepayments from Farvision post as Advance PM applications in Acumatica. Any retained percentage terms from Farvision transfer as separate hold codes, and the original invoice reference number is preserved for audit trails.

Farvision ERP

Payment (Received / Made)

maps to

Acumatica

Checks and Payments (AP303000 / AR303000)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision receipts and disbursements map to Acumatica Payments. Payment method, reference number, and applied invoice references transfer. Cash discounts taken in Farvision are preserved in Acumatica's discount application logic. The payment batch ID from Farvision is stored as a custom reference to assist with reconciliation of historical payment runs.

Farvision ERP

Inventory Item

maps to

Acumatica

Stock Items (IN202000)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision inventory items with qty-on-hand map to Acumatica Stock Items. Item class, valuation method, primary warehouse, and last cost pull in as item attributes. Active or inactive status from Farvision sets the Inventory Status in Acumatica. Lead times and reorder points transfer as item planning parameters, and Farvision's lot or serial tracking settings map to Acumatica's lot/serial class assignments.

Farvision ERP

Warehouse / Site

maps to

Acumatica

Warehouses (WH204000)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision Site and Warehouse masters map to Acumatica Warehouses. Address, Is Active flag, and default location class transfer. Farvision's site-specific bin structures are preserved as location names within each Acumatica warehouse. The site contact and phone number from Farvision become the warehouse contact details, and any site-specific expense accounts are mapped to the corresponding Acumatica warehouse cost center.

Farvision ERP

Employee / HR Record

maps to

Acumatica

Employees (EP203000) + HR Workers (HQ101000)

many:1
Fully supported

Farvision Employee records split into Acumatica's employee payroll record (EP203000) and the HR Worker record (HQ101000) if both modules are in use. Salary, department, and employment status map to EP for payroll processing, while benefits, certifications, and emergency contacts map to the HR Worker record. The original Farvision employee ID is preserved in the Employee ID field for system cross-referencing.

Farvision ERP

Lease Record

maps to

Acumatica

Leases (LM301000) or Contracts

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision lease agreements have no direct Acumatica equivalent in base ERP — they require the Contracts module or a custom lease management application. We preserve Farvision lease data in a custom Lease record with fields for start/end date, tenant, unit, and rent schedule.

Farvision ERP

Document Attachment

maps to

Acumatica

Files (SM202570)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision attachments on Projects, Purchase Orders, and Invoices re-upload to Acumatica Files. File name, MIME type, and parent record reference are preserved. Large files exceeding 25MB are split into multiple parts per Acumatica's file size limit, and a custom metadata field records the total part count and sequence so files can be reassembled after migration or uploaded manually via the Acumatica UI.

Farvision ERP

Approval Workflow

maps to

Acumatica

No Equivalent

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision approval chains for PO, Invoice, and Expense workflows have no direct Acumatica equivalent. We export the workflow graph as a JSON file containing each step, approver, threshold amount, and conditional routing logic. This JSON maps to Acumatica's Approval Maps (EP405020) for manual reconstruction by your Acumatica administrator. The export includes a step-by-step guide referencing Acumatica screen IDs and field names for building the corresponding approval sequences.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Farvision project phases split into Acumatica Tasks — budget alignment requires post-import recalculation

    Farvision stores phase-level budgets as a single line per phase with an aggregated amount. Acumatica Project Tasks hold budget quantities and rates rather than a flat amount field. When we migrate Phase Budget amounts into Acumatica Task Budget views, the rates default to the item cost or labor rate defined in the Task. If your Farvision phases used blended rates that include overhead or contingency markup, those percentage components need to be manually entered into the Acumatica Cost Code rate table after migration. We flag any phase with a blended-rate budget during the sample migration so your project accountant can adjust before the full run.

  • Farvision lease records have no native Acumatica equivalent — contracts module or custom object required

    Farvision tracks lease agreements with start/end dates, rent schedules, escalation clauses, and tenant details. Acumatica base ERP does not include a Lease Management application in all editions — it is a separate module (LM). If your Acumatica license does not include LM, Farvision lease data migrates as a custom Lease record with the relevant fields stored in an extension DAC. The rent schedule and escalation data map to custom fields on that record; recurring invoice generation from the lease schedule requires a manual process or a report-to-invoice workflow built in Acumatica's Automation Steps.

  • Multi-segment Farvision COA requires segment remapping before GL batches can post

    Farvision's Chart of Accounts combines Region, Entity, and Type into a compound code like 'WEST.RE.001'. Acumatica requires each segment to be defined in GL104000 before accounts can be created. We extract the segments from each Farvision account code, map them to the configured Acumatica segments (Branch, Account, Subaccount), and create the accounts. However, if your Farvision Entity segment contains both a legal-entity flag and a cost-center flag in a single segment, that segment must be split in Acumatica — your admin defines the split rules in GL104000 before accounts are created. GL batches that were posted in Farvision will fail in Acumatica if the target account segments are not yet defined.

  • Acumatica Import by Scenario enforces field-level validation that Farvision bypasses

    Farvision allows some fields to be saved with partial data — for example, a Purchase Receipt line with an item but no warehouse, or a Sales Order with a customer but no branch. Acumatica's Import by Scenario framework enforces required-field constraints defined in the screen's graph. We handle most of these with default-value substitutions (e.g., default warehouse from the vendor record). Any records that fail Acumatica validation during the sample migration are surfaced in a discrepancy report with the exact field and reason so your team can either fix the source data in Farvision or set a default in Acumatica before the full run.

  • Farvision approval workflow definitions require manual reconstruction in Acumatica Approval Maps

    Farvision workflows store approver chains, spending thresholds, and conditional routing in a workflow engine that has no Acumatica counterpart. Acumatica's Approval Maps (EP405020) handle document-level approvals but do not natively replicate Farvision's step-based conditional routing (e.g., 'if amount > 500000 and project = TOWER-A, route to CFO'). We export the Farvision workflow definition as a JSON graph listing each step, the condition, the approver, and the action. Your Acumatica admin uses that JSON as a specification document to rebuild the approval map. This is the one item in the migration that requires human interpretation — there is no automated translation.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Farvision ERP to Acumatica data migration

  1. Audit Farvision schema and extract data via API

    FlitStack AI connects to Farvision's REST API endpoints to inventory all objects: Company masters, Customers, Vendors, Projects with phases, GL accounts, Inventory items, Warehouses, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Purchase Receipts, AP/AR invoices, Payments, and Employee records. We run a data-quality scan that flags duplicate records, missing required fields, orphaned transactions (e.g., invoice lines with no header), and compound segment codes in the COA that require pre-mapping. The output is a Data Readiness Report shared with your team before the migration scope is finalized.

  2. Design Acumatica segment map and create custom fields

    Based on the Data Readiness Report, FlitStack AI designs the Acumatica segment map: how Farvision's COA segments translate to Branch + Account + Subaccount, which Farvision custom fields need Acumatica custom properties, and whether your Acumatica tenant needs the Contracts or Project Accounting module enabled. We deliver a schema setup plan listing every account to create, every custom field to add (with field type and label), and every Vendor Class or Customer Class needed. Your Acumatica admin or our team applies these changes to the tenant before validation runs.

  3. Run a sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 200–500 records — typically 50 customers, 50 vendors, 20 projects with phases, 30 inventory items, and 100 transaction lines — migrates first using Acumatica's Import by Scenario framework. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against the destination values at the cell level. You review the diff to confirm that project phases map to Tasks correctly, GL account segments resolve to valid Acumatica accounts, and vendor classes route correctly. No record lands permanently until you approve the sample.

  4. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full dataset migrates in dependency order: GL accounts and branches first, then Customers and Vendors, then Inventory and Warehouses, then Projects and Tasks, then open Sales Orders and Purchase Orders, then historical invoices and payments, then final receipts and adjustments. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs concurrently with your final Farvision use, capturing any records created or modified during the cutover. FlitStack logs every API read and every import operation in an audit trail, and one-click rollback reverts the Acumatica tenant to the pre-migration snapshot if reconciliation uncovers discrepancies.

  5. Validate counts, balances, and open-document integrity

    After migration, FlitStack AI runs a three-way reconciliation: (1) record counts per object in Farvision vs. Acumatica, (2) GL trial balance comparison at account level, and (3) open document count verification for AR/AP invoices and active project tasks. Discrepancies surface in a Validation Report with source record IDs so your team can investigate. The report also lists any Farvision attachments that could not be re-uploaded due to file-size limits, with instructions to manually upload those files to Acumatica Files.
