Overview
Fraction ERP to Infor Cloudsuite is a manufacturing-data migration with a specific dependency order: Parts and Bills of Materials must settle before Works Orders, Inventory transactions, and Purchase Orders. Fraction ERP has no publicly documented bulk-export API, so all extraction requires either a direct database export coordinated with their implementation team or manual report generation. We open every engagement by requesting a data export package from Fraction ERP and parallel document retrieval for BOM drawings and linked attachments. Infor CloudSuite's own Migration Utility expects SQL Server 2008 or later as the source, and Infor's implementation partners confirm that pre-migration transactions must be posted and frozen in the source system before cutover begins. We do not migrate customizations, automated workflows, or non-conformance quality workflows as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active automation for the customer's Infor admin to rebuild post-go-live.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Fraction 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.
Fraction ERP
Customers
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Company / Account
1:1Fraction ERP Customer records (company name, contact details, addresses) map to Infor CloudSuite Company or Customer Master records depending on the CloudSuite edition in use. We preserve the primary contact, billing address, and delivery address as separate address roles in Infor. Dedupe is performed on company name with a secondary check on tax registration number where available in the Fraction ERP export.
Fraction ERP
Quotations
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Quote
1:1Fraction ERP Quotations carry pricing, validity dates, and line items against a specific Customer. We map quotation headers to Infor CloudSuite Quote records and line items to QuoteLine. Infor's quote-to-order conversion logic is preserved by migrating the quotation status (Open, Accepted, Rejected) and linking the Quote to the originating Customer in Infor before migration closes.
Fraction ERP
Sales Orders
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1Fraction ERP Sales Orders are the trigger record for Works Order creation. We migrate Sales Order headers (customer reference, order date, requested date, terms) and line items to Infor CloudSuite Sales Order and Sales Order Line. Open orders are migrated with their current status preserved; completed orders migrate with historical status intact for reporting continuity.
Fraction ERP
Parts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item / Product
1:1Fraction ERP Parts carry part number, description, unit of measure, standard cost, and bill-of-material flag. These map to Infor CloudSuite Item Master or Product records depending on the CloudSuite edition. We map the Fraction ERP unit of measure to the Infor UoM code, and Part type (manufactured, purchased, stocked) to Infor's Item Type classification. The hs_sku equivalent migrates as Item Code.
Fraction ERP
Bills of Materials
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
BOM / Recipe
1:1Fraction ERP Bills of Materials include multi-level component structures, quantities per assembly, and operation routing. We extract BOMs as structured header-component records and reconstruct them in Infor CloudSuite's BOM form. BOMs must migrate before Works Orders because Works Order operations reference the BOM routing. Multi-level BOMs are flattened to the top assembly level for migration, with sub-assembly relationships preserved as separate BOM records that are linked by ComponentBOM linkage.
Fraction ERP
BOM Drawings
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Document Management / Attachment
lossyBOM drawing files in Fraction ERP are stored as binary attachments linked to BOM records and do not export through grid-based reporting. We schedule a parallel file extraction pass using Fraction ERP's document export feature and map each drawing file to Infor CloudSuite's Document Management or Content Management module, linked to the corresponding Part or BOM record. Drawing format (PDF, DWG, STEP) is preserved during transfer.
Fraction ERP
Works Orders
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Production Order / Work Order
1:1Fraction ERP Works Orders track production jobs linked to Sales Orders and BOMs, with status, scheduled dates, and assigned operations. We migrate Works Order headers, operation lines, and resource assignments to Infor CloudSuite Production Order and Operation records. Because Works Order operation routing derives from the linked BOM, BOM migration must complete before Works Order migration to avoid orphaned operation references. Closed Works Orders migrate as historical records with status preserved.
Fraction ERP
Inventory
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inventory / Stock
1:1Fraction ERP Inventory tracks current stock levels, bin locations, and stock valuation per Part. We migrate current quantity on hand, bin location assignments, and last transaction date to Infor CloudSuite Inventory or Stock records. Fraction ERP's valuation method (FIFO, Average, Standard) is noted during scoping; Infor CloudSuite uses warehouse-specific valuation methods that may require adjustment at the destination. Open material reservations from active Works Orders migrate as linked inventory allocations.
Fraction ERP
Purchase Orders
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Fraction ERP Purchase Orders contain vendor reference, line items, quantities, expected dates, and receiving status. We migrate open Purchase Orders (not yet fully received) to Infor CloudSuite Purchase Order records with line items and expected delivery dates. Completed Purchase Orders with full receipts migrate as historical records. Partial receipts are flagged and the received quantity is reconciled against the PO line before migration.
Fraction ERP
Non-Conformance Reports
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Quality Management / Non-Conformance
1:1Fraction ERP NCRs track quality issues linked to Works Orders or Parts with issue description, severity, and resolution status. Infor CloudSuite Industrial includes a Quality Management module that handles Non-Conformance records. We map NCR headers and findings to Infor's Quality Event or Non-Conformance object, and link them to the corresponding Part or Production Order where the migrated Works Order and Part IDs are available. Custom quality workflow rules do not transfer and are documented for rebuild in Infor's quality workflow designer.
Fraction ERP
Users
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
User / Employee
1:1Fraction ERP User accounts include name, email, role, and permission set. We migrate User records and map roles to Infor CloudSuite's role-based security model. Individual passwords cannot be transferred per standard security practice; Infor User accounts are provisioned as inactive in the destination and the customer's Infor admin activates them after credential setup. Role mapping is scoped to production users only; integration and service accounts are flagged separately.

No publicly documented API for bulk exports
BOM drawings stored as attachments require separate file transfer
Works Order operation sequencing is BOM-dependent
Tier-gated features affect module availability
Infor CloudSuite Corporate gotchas
Infor OS tier-based usage limits gate API and BaaS capabilities
Custom Fields use inconsistent naming across Infor editions
SQL migration utility requires source database access
Multi-site and multi-currency data require separate period closure sequencing
REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Fraction ERP data export coordination
We open the engagement by requesting a structured data export package from Fraction ERP's implementation team. This package must include: Customers, Parts, BOMs (with component lines and routing), Quotations, Sales Orders, Works Orders (with operation lines), Inventory (current quantities and locations), Purchase Orders, Non-Conformance Reports, and User accounts. In parallel, we schedule a document extraction pass for BOM drawing attachments. We confirm the export package completeness against our object inventory checklist before beginning any transform work. If Fraction ERP cannot produce a SQL-level export, we adjust the timeline to reflect manual report generation constraints.
Infor CloudSuite target environment assessment
We assess the destination Infor CloudSuite edition (Industrial/SyteLine, M3, or LN) and confirm the customer's provisioned modules, user count, and any existing data in the target database. Infor CloudSuite's Migration Utility requires a new, initialized target database with the Migration Utility pack installed; we coordinate with the Infor implementation team or the customer's Infor admin to confirm the target environment is prepared before migration data is loaded. Any existing master data in the Infor environment is reconciled against Fraction ERP source data to prevent duplicates.
BOM-first extraction, validation, and load
We extract Parts first because BOMs and Works Orders both reference Parts as component items. Parts are validated for data completeness (part number, description, UoM, type) and loaded into Infor CloudSuite as Item records. BOMs are extracted second as structured header-component objects, validated for multi-level completeness and operation routing, and loaded into Infor's BOM form. Drawing files are retrieved in parallel from Fraction ERP's document export and mapped to Part records in Infor CloudSuite Document Management. This phase closes only after BOM operation references are validated against the Parts catalogue.
Customer, Sales Order, and Quotation migration
Customers are migrated to Infor CloudSuite Company or Customer Master records with address roles preserved. Quotations and Sales Orders follow, with open quotations migrated with status and validity dates, and open Sales Orders migrated with their linked Customer reference. Completed Sales Orders migrate as historical records. We preserve the original Fraction ERP quotation and order numbers as reference fields in Infor for audit continuity.
Works Order, Inventory, and Purchase Order migration
With BOMs and Parts settled, Works Orders migrate with their operation lines and resource assignments. We validate that each Works Order's BOM reference exists in Infor before loading; any orphaned Works Orders are flagged in the reconciliation report. Inventory migrates as current stock on hand per Part and location. Open Purchase Orders migrate with expected delivery dates; partially received POs are reconciled before migration. Completed transactions migrate as historical records with original status.
User provisioning and Infor go-live coordination
User records migrate as inactive Infor User accounts pending credential setup by the customer's Infor administrator. We deliver a role mapping spreadsheet that maps each Fraction ERP role to the nearest Infor role or permission set. Transaction freeze is coordinated with the customer: after the final delta migration (capturing any records modified during the migration window), Fraction ERP writes are suspended and Infor CloudSuite becomes the system of record. We deliver the Non-Conformance workflow, automation, and customisation inventory for the Infor admin to rebuild post-go-live. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues.
