Overview
Moving from Foundry Bean to Infor Cloudsuite is a structural migration that requires explicit entity mapping, schema reconciliation, and recognition-method translation across two cloud ERP platforms with different data models. Foundry Bean's multi-subsidiary and multi-currency structure must map to CloudSuite's legal entity hierarchy before any transactional data moves, and tiered subscription billing requires flattening nested rate objects into the target's pricing framework. We extract chart of accounts, open AR/AP, employees, items, purchase orders, and GL history from Foundry Bean, map them to CloudSuite's SQL-based migration utility schema, and load through CloudSuite's staged import process. Historical GL data and custom reporting definitions do not migrate as records; we deliver a written inventory of custom tables and report structures requiring rebuild in CloudSuite's Birst or native reporting layer.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Foundry Bean 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.
Foundry Bean
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Chart of Accounts (COSG)
1:1Foundry Bean accounts organized by Balance Sheet and Income Statement categories map directly to CloudSuite chart of segments and codes. Each account code, type, and currency assignment maps to a corresponding CloudSuite Company and Site combination. If Foundry Bean uses multiple subsidiaries, each subsidiary's chart maps to a separate CloudSuite Company code, and we flag any accounts with intercompany transaction flags for consolidation rule configuration.
Foundry Bean
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer (OITM)
1:1Foundry Bean Customer records with addresses, payment terms, and currency assignments map to CloudSuite Business Partner records with Customer role. Payment terms code, credit limit, and tax category transfer to the CloudSuite BP master. Customer balances for open AR migrate as initial aging entries. If Foundry Bean stores customer-specific pricing tiers, these map to CloudSuite price lists attached to the BP.
Foundry Bean
Vendor
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Vendor (OPRT)
1:1Foundry Bean Vendor master records with addresses, banking information, and payment terms map to CloudSuite Business Partner records with Vendor role. 1099 reporting flags, W-9 status, and tax categories transfer to the BP master. Open purchase orders tied to the vendor migrate as PO header and line records with PO-to-invoice linkage preserved for procure-to-pay audit trails.
Foundry Bean
Employee
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Employee (OHEM)
1:1Foundry Bean Employee records including compensation history, organizational assignments, and benefits map to CloudSuite Employee master. Effective-dated compensation changes require sequencing: current salary and status load first, then historical compensation records apply in date order. If Foundry Bean stores organizational hierarchy, we map to CloudSuite's cost center and department structure.
Foundry Bean
Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item (OITM)
1:1Foundry Bean Items with inventory tracking across multiple warehouses map to CloudSuite Item master with warehouse-specific stock levels. Item costing method (FIFO, average, standard) transfers to CloudSuite costing configuration. Custom pricing tiers stored as nested structures in Foundry Bean require flattening to CloudSuite price list entries per item. Any lot or serial number tracking settings map to CloudSuite inventory parameters.
Foundry Bean
Invoice (AR)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR Invoice (OINV)
1:1Foundry Bean sales invoices, recurring invoices, and subscription-generated invoices map to CloudSuite A/R Invoice records. Invoice-to-payment linkage and aging data preserve in CloudSuite via the payment document matching process. Invoice status from Foundry Bean (open, closed, void) maps to CloudSuite document status and payment status fields. Prepayments and credit memos transfer as separate payment document types.
Foundry Bean
Invoice (AP)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AP Invoice (OPCH)
1:1Foundry Bean vendor invoices map to CloudSuite A/P Invoice records. The PO-to-invoice relationship from Foundry Bean purchase orders is preserved through CloudSuite's land-in-transit and invoice matching workflow. Prepaid invoices and credit memos transfer as separate document types. Vendor invoice approval workflow state is captured as a flag since CloudSuite manages approvals through its own approval engine.
Foundry Bean
Expense Report
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Vendor Invoice (OPCH) + Employee
lossyFoundry Bean expense reports auto-convert to vendor invoices upon approval. We extract expense report records with approval state preserved, then create CloudSuite AP invoices linked to the employee as the vendor. A suppression flag is set on any Foundry Bean-generated invoice record that resulted from the auto-conversion to prevent duplicate liability entry. The employee BP record carries the expense settlement relationship.
Foundry Bean
Subscription
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Contract + Billing Schedule
lossyFoundry Bean subscriptions with flat-fee, usage-based, volume, and tiered pricing map to CloudSuite Contract header records with attached billing schedules. Tiered pricing definitions stored as nested start-threshold, end-threshold, and per-unit rate objects are flattened into individual billing schedule line entries per tier band. Active subscription status and billing frequency transfer to the contract terms. We flag any subscription relying on tier stacking for customer admin review.
Foundry Bean
Contract
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Contract (OCTR)
1:1Foundry Bean Contract records with revenue recognition schedules map to CloudSuite Contract management. The recognition method (milestone, time-based, percentage-of-completion) transfers to CloudSuite's ASC 606 configuration. Contract-to-subscription linkage is preserved through the CloudSuite contract header. Recognition start dates and amounts map to the contract revenue schedule lines. We confirm recognition method compatibility during scoping.
Foundry Bean
Revenue Recognition Schedule
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Contract Revenue Schedule (OCTR + Revenue Lines)
lossyFoundry Bean ASC 606 schedules are derived from contract terms and subscription billing rather than stored as independent records. We extract the contract terms, billing amounts, and recognition method from Foundry Bean, then regenerate recognition schedules in CloudSuite's contract revenue management based on those parameters. If Foundry Bean exposes schedule records, we import them as read-only reference alongside the recalculated CloudSuite schedules for audit trail.
Foundry Bean
Purchase Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order (OPOR)
1:1Foundry Bean purchase orders linking vendors to items map to CloudSuite Purchase Order records with header and line structure. PO status (open, partial, closed) transfers to CloudSuite document status. The PO-to-invoice relationship preserves through CloudSuite's land-in-transit matching. Released and planned POs both migrate; closed POs with remaining history migrate as reference records without affecting open liability.
Foundry Bean
Bank Account
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Bank Account (DPS1) + G/L Account mapping
1:1Foundry Bean bank and credit card accounts with real-time balance and reconciliation data map to CloudSuite Payment Terms and G/L account mappings. Account numbers, bank routing details, and opening balances transfer to the payment configuration. Auto-reconciliation rules from Foundry Bean require manual rebuild in CloudSuite's payment matching configuration.
Foundry Bean
General Ledger Transaction
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Journal Entry (OJDT)
1:1Foundry Bean journal entries from bank reconciliation, invoice processing, and manual entries map to CloudSuite Journal Entry records with line-level debit and credit accounts. Debit and credit amounts, transaction dates, and reference numbers transfer directly. Adjustment entries and closing entries migrate with their original effective dates for fiscal year audit continuity. We recommend limiting historical GL import to 1-2 years and archiving the remainder per CloudSuite performance guidance.
Foundry Bean
Custom Object
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Custom Table or Extension
1:1Foundry Bean custom objects catalogued during discovery map to CloudSuite user-defined tables (UDTs) or custom extensions built on Mongoose. Each custom object requires schema mapping: Foundry Bean field types (string, number, date, lookup) map to CloudSuite equivalent column data types. Custom object relationships to standard objects (Customers, Vendors, Items) map to CloudSuite UDT foreign key columns. We pre-create the destination schema before any data import and flag any Foundry Bean custom object that has no CloudSuite equivalent for customer admin review.

REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and entity mapping design
We audit the Foundry Bean tenant across legal entities, chart of accounts structure, open AR/AP aging, subscription billing models, employee headcount and compensation structure, and item count with warehouse assignments. We pair this with a review of the target CloudSuite company's legal entity configuration (Company codes, Site assignments, and consolidation rules). The discovery output is a written migration scope document including the entity mapping table, a preliminary chart of accounts mapping, and a decision on historical GL retention window (1, 2, or more years). Any Foundry Bean custom objects or extended data structures are catalogued for schema design in the next phase.
Schema design and CloudSuite migration utility staging
We design the CloudSuite target schema including Company and Site structure, chart of accounts segment configuration, Business Partner (customer/vendor) master setup, Item master with costing method, and Contract configuration with ASC 606 recognition method defaults. We stage the CloudSuite migration utility database with source table definitions mapped to CloudSuite target tables, using the Import Source Tables and Import Target Tables forms in the CloudSuite migration environment. Custom objects from Foundry Bean map to CloudSuite UDTs with explicit column type conversion. Schema validation runs in the migration database before production load begins.
Master data migration in dependency order
We migrate master data in strict dependency order: chart of accounts segments first (foundation for all transactions), then Company and Site definitions (referenced by all transaction entities), then Business Partner masters (Customers and Vendors), then Item masters (required for PO and invoice lines), then Employee masters (required for expense report and payroll linkages). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We validate account balances after the chart of accounts load, validate BP totals against Foundry Bean aging reports, and validate item stock levels against Foundry Bean inventory valuation before proceeding to transactional data.
Subscription and contract billing migration
We migrate active subscription records and their associated contract headers before any invoice migration. Tiered pricing structures are flattened into CloudSuite billing schedule line entries during transformation. Revenue recognition schedules are recalculated from contract terms and recognition method configuration rather than exported as independent records. Each subscription-to-contract linkage is validated against Foundry Bean's contract-to-billing relationship before the next phase begins.
Transactional migration and open item carry-forward
We migrate open and historical transactions in order: open purchase orders (header and lines with vendor linkage), open AR invoices (with customer and payment linkage), open AP invoices (with vendor and PO linkage), and GL journal entries within the agreed historical window. Expense reports are extracted with approval state preserved before auto-conversion to vendor invoices, and a suppression flag prevents duplicate liability from Foundry Bean's auto-generated invoice records. Each transaction type emits an aging reconciliation against Foundry Bean's open item report before the next phase.
Cutover, validation, and reporting rebuild handoff
We freeze Foundry Bean writes during a defined cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration period, then mark the CloudSuite company as production-ready. We validate account balances (debits equal credits), open item aging (AR/AP totals match Foundry Bean cutoff), and inventory quantities (stock levels match Foundry Bean valuation). We deliver the custom object mapping document, the custom report inventory, and the automation and workflow handoff list to the customer's CloudSuite admin team. We do not rebuild Foundry Bean reports as CloudSuite or Birst reports inside the migration scope.
