Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Farvision ERP to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial is a multi-phase migration that must bridge two fundamentally different architectures. Farvision stores data in MongoDB using document nesting and project-wise accounting segregation, while Infor Cloudsuite Industrial requires SQL Server for its migration utility and a flat chart-of-accounts structure with Cost Centers for project segmentation. We extract directly from Farvision's MongoDB, normalize the document hierarchy into relational tables, map project-level account codes to Cost Centers or Business Units, and load via Infor CloudSuite Industrial's Migration Utility with sequenced dependency ordering. We do not migrate Workflows, automations, or Forms as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's implementation team to rebuild in Infor Process Automation or Mongoose.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

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

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 Farvision ERP objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a Farvision 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.

Farvision ERP

Projects (all lifecycle stages)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Business Unit / Cost Center

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision Projects spanning Land Acquisition through Post-Sales map to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial Business Units and Cost Centers. The project lifecycle stages (Land, Legal, Pre-Sales, Post-Sales, Budget, Execution) map to Cost Center hierarchies within the Business Unit. We extract the project-to-account-code crosswalk from Farvision's MongoDB documents and translate it into Infor's Cost Center structure during the discovery phase. Project milestones map to Milestone or Task records in Infor Cloudsuite Industrial with project-wise status tracking preserved.

Farvision ERP

Customers / Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Business Partner (Customer)

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision CRM module Customers map to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial Business Partner records with role = Customer. We preserve all customer properties, contact details, and custom fields extracted from MongoDB, using email and phone as dedupe keys during import. Farvision's customer-specific pricing agreements map to Infor's Customer Price Agreement or Trade Agreement records. Customer financial standing and credit limits transfer to the Business Partner credit management fields.

Farvision ERP

Properties / Units

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item or Asset

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision Property records tied to specific Projects map to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial Item or Asset records. Project-to-property associations migrate as Item Warehouse records or Asset Project Links. We preserve unit type (apartment, villa, plot), floor, wing, area in sq ft, facing, and property status fields as custom fields on the Item or Asset record. Farvision's sold/unsold/blocked status maps to Infor's Item or Asset status field.

Farvision ERP

Sales Orders and Contracts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Sales Order / Agreement

1:1
Mapping required

Farvision Sales Orders tied to Properties and Customers map to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial Sales Order or Agreement records. Farvision payment schedules (booking amount, installment milestones, possession-linked payments) require transformation into Infor Sales Order line schedules or separate Agreement milestone records, since Infor Cloudsuite Industrial's standard sales order uses different milestone semantics than Farvision's real estate payment structures.

Farvision ERP

Invoices and Billing Records

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

AR Invoice / Invoice

1:1
Mapping required

Farvision Client Billing records map to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial Accounts Receivable Invoice records. We preserve billing history including payment milestones, installment tracking, and payment status from Farvision's Post-Sales module. Invoices are linked to the corresponding Customer Business Partner and Project Cost Center for project-wise financial reporting. Closed invoices carry their original billing dates; pending installments are flagged for reconciliation in the customer's accounting team post-migration.

Farvision ERP

Stores and Inventory

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item / Warehouse

1:1
Mapping required

Farvision Stores and Procurement inventory records map to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial Item and Warehouse records. Farvision's materials, stock tracking, and unit-of-measure conventions require explicit mapping to Infor's unit-of-measure system. Inventory valuation methods (FIFO, average cost) in Farvision map to Infor's costing method configuration. Procurement records and supplier information map to Business Partner records with role = Supplier.

Farvision ERP

Payroll and Employee Records

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Employee / HCM Record

1:1
Mapping required

Farvision HR and Payroll module Employee Life Cycle records map to Infor Cloudsuite HCM or HR tables. We migrate employee records and compensation history including salary components, deduction preferences, and leave balances. Farvision's payroll effective-dated records require careful mapping to Infor's effective-dated HR structure, and we flag these records for manual verification by the customer's HR team post-migration to confirm benefit enrollment, tax jurisdiction, and compliance settings are accurate.

Farvision ERP

Activities and Activity Groups

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Activity / Workflow Activity

1:1
Fully supported

Farvision Activity records and Activity Group associations map to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial Activity or Workflow Activity records. We extract activities from Farvision's YouTube-documented import/export format and translate group associations into Infor's activity grouping structure. Farvision's custom activity types and status values map to Infor's configurable activity categories. Activity timestamps and owner assignments migrate directly with owner resolved via User mapping.

Farvision ERP

Payment Types Master

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Payment Term / Method

1:1
Mapping required

Farvision Payment Types Master configuration maps to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial Payment Term records. We preserve the configured payment type structure including installment frequency, due date rules, and applicable property types. Farvision custom payment types (advance, milestone-linked, post-dated cheque, online) map to Infor's Payment Term or Method with the corresponding due date calculation logic maintained. Payment Type Group associations transfer as Payment Term Group assignments.

Farvision ERP

Places Management

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Location / Geographic Hierarchy

1:1
Mapping required

Farvision Places Management stores country and state hierarchies with project-specific location trees. We preserve the full location hierarchy including project sites, wing/block assignments, and regional groupings. Geographic levels (country, state, city, project site, building, floor) map to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial's location or address structure with the same parent-child relationship intact. Regional and zone configurations from Farvision map to Infor's geographic classification fields.

Farvision ERP

Engineering / QS Records

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Engineering / QS Data

1:1
Mapping required

Farvision Engineering module covers Quantity Surveying and billing records with industry-specific structures unique to real estate and infrastructure cost management. We extract these records from MongoDB and map them to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial's Engineering or QS data structures with field-level mapping to standard ERP formats. Farvision's project-specific cost codes, rate analysis, and bill of quantities entries are preserved as Engineering records linked to the corresponding project Cost Center. These records are flagged for customer review due to the industry-specific nature of the data structures.

Farvision ERP

Custom Fields

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Custom Fields

lossy
Mapping required

Farvision's customization capabilities generate custom fields across objects that we migrate with explicit field-to-field mapping. We extract custom field definitions from Farvision's MongoDB document schemas and translate them to Infor Cloudsuite Industrial custom field configurations. Unsupported field types (Farvision-specific picklists, calculated fields, document attachments) are flagged in the migration inventory for manual configuration in Infor CloudSuite Industrial's form designer post-migration. Custom field values migrate as data values only; the customer configures the destination field definition before or immediately after data load.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Infor Migration Utility requires SQL Server; Farvision uses MongoDB

    Infor CloudSuite Industrial's Migration Utility targets SQL Server 2008 or later as the source database and does not include a predefined template for Farvision ERP. Farvision ERP stores data in MongoDB using document nesting, which does not map directly to relational tables. We extract data directly from Farvision's MongoDB, transform the document hierarchy into relational tables, resolve inter-document references, and load into Infor CloudSuite Industrial's migration database before running the standard import sequence. This adds significant time and requires custom extraction scripts beyond the utility's standard tooling.

  • Project-wise accounting does not map directly to Infor's chart of accounts

    Farvision ERP's core financial feature is project-wise accounting segregation: each project carries its own set of account codes and cost tracking, which is essential for real estate multi-project tracking. Infor CloudSuite Industrial uses a centralized chart of accounts with Cost Centers or Business Units for project-level segmentation, which is a different structural model. Farvision's project-specific account codes require mapping to Infor Cost Centers or Business Units with a crosswalk table built during discovery. Companies that rely heavily on project-level P&L need to validate the Cost Center structure in Infor before production migration.

  • Contract auto-renewal creates overlapping subscription costs

    Farvision ERP subscriptions renew automatically on a yearly basis and require one full quarter of advance notice to cancel. Organizations planning a mid-year migration face overlapping subscription costs for the duration of the overlap between the Farvision contract end date and the Infor Cloudsuite go-live. We confirm cancellation timelines during discovery scoping and flag any records created after the renewal date, as those records trigger an additional year of Farvision charges that should be accounted for in the migration budget.

  • Infor CloudSuite requires specialized implementation partners

    Infor CloudSuite Industrial implementations typically require specialized consultants with proprietary knowledge of Infor's architecture. SyteLine expertise and Java-based M3 configuration require Infor-certified partners or Infor Consulting Services. This differs from Farvision ERP's implementation model and adds consulting costs and lead time that are separate from the data migration fee. We coordinate with the customer's chosen Infor implementation partner to align data migration sequencing with their configuration and testing schedule.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and audit

    We audit Farvision ERP across all active modules, identifying which are in current use versus historical archive. We document the full MongoDB schema for each object including nested arrays, custom fields, and inter-document references. We capture the project-wise accounting structure: every project, its assigned account codes, and cost allocation logic. We record Payment Types, Places hierarchies, Activities, and contract terms including auto-renewal dates. The discovery output is a written migration scope with object inventory, MongoDB document map, and a project-wise accounting crosswalk template.

  2. Infor Cloudsuite target schema design

    We design the destination schema in Infor Cloudsuite Industrial, mapping all Farvision objects to their Infor equivalents. This includes Business Unit and Cost Center hierarchy for project-wise accounting segregation, Business Partner configuration for customers and suppliers, Item and Asset setup for properties and inventory, payment term mapping, location hierarchy setup, and activity category configuration. Custom fields are provisioned in Infor CloudSuite Industrial with types matched to Farvision's data. Schema is deployed to a Sandbox or staging environment for validation before production migration begins.

  3. MongoDB extraction and transformation

    We extract data directly from Farvision's MongoDB database, writing scripts that traverse the document hierarchy and normalize nested structures into flat relational tables compatible with Infor CloudSuite Industrial's migration utility requirements. Project-wise accounting segregation is translated into Cost Center and Business Unit assignments. Inter-document references (project-to-customer, property-to-project) are resolved during extraction. Transformed datasets are validated against source record counts and financial totals before loading into the Infor CloudSuite migration database.

  4. Infor CloudSuite migration utility setup and sequencing

    We set up the Infor CloudSuite Industrial migration database and configure the Import Parameters to connect to the transformed source SQL database. We specify source and target table mappings on the Import Source Tables and Import Target Tables forms, and define the import sequence to respect dependency order: reference data first (payment types, locations), then Customers, then Projects and Properties, Sales Orders, Invoices, Stores, Employees, Activities, and Custom Fields last. We run Preliminary Data Transfer with the Data Assessment Report to validate schema mapping and data type compatibility before finalizing.

  5. Sandbox validation and sign-off

    We run a full migration into a staging or Sandbox environment using production-like data volumes from Farvision. The customer validates record counts for each object, spot-checks 25-50 records against the source for field accuracy, and confirms the Cost Center structure reflects their project-wise accounting logic. We resolve any mapping corrections identified during validation before proceeding to production. The customer signs off the schema, mapping, and validation report before we schedule the production migration window.

  6. Production migration and cutover

    We run production migration in dependency order: reference data, Customers, Projects and Properties, Sales Orders, Invoices and AR, Stores, Employees, Activities, and Custom Fields. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report; we validate that total debits equal total credits on financial records against the Farvision trial balance. We freeze Farvision writes during cutover, migrate any delta records created during the window, and switch Infor CloudSuite Industrial to production. We deliver the Workflow and Automation inventory document and support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues.
