Overview
Moving from Freedom ERP to Infor CloudSuite is a cross-platform migration that requires a database-first extraction strategy because Freedom ERP has no published REST or SOAP API. We connect directly to the Freedom ERP SQL Server database, audit the full schema for custom fields and non-standard tables, extract data in dependency order (Customers before Transactions, BOMs before Production Orders, GL Accounts before AP/AR), stage it in an Infor migration database, and load it into CloudSuite using Infor's documented migration utility forms and sequencing. We preserve BOM hierarchies across multi-level structures with phantom assemblies and co-products, map Freedom ERP's GST/S-tax accounting codes to Infor's tax engine, and flag any Freedom ERP custom fields for remapping into Infor's extension framework. Workflows, automations, and custom reports built inside Freedom ERP do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's implementation team to rebuild against Infor's process catalogue. Historical transaction volumes and performance bottlenecks reported on Freedom ERP are managed by chunking exports by fiscal year and scheduling database reads during off-peak hours to avoid production strain.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Freedom 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.
Freedom ERP
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Customer)
1:1Freedom ERP Customer records (name, GST number, billing address, shipping address, payment terms, contact persons) map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner records with BP Type = Customer. We use GSTIN as the dedupe key during import. Customer-specific price lists and credit limits migrate to BP-specific pricing and credit control records. Phone, email, and primary contact person map to the Contact sub-entity on the Business Partner.
Freedom ERP
Vendor
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Business Partner (Supplier)
1:1Freedom ERP Vendor master records map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner records with BP Type = Supplier. PAN, TAN, and GST registration details migrate as tax registration fields on the BP. Payment terms and bank details (account number, IFSC code) migrate to vendor-specific payment method and bank account records. Vendor-linked PO history and GRN records require Purchase Order and Receipt history mapping in a subsequent phase.
Freedom ERP
Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item (Manufacturing Item)
1:1Freedom ERP Item records (raw materials, intermediates, finished goods) map to Infor CloudSuite Item records with Item Type distinguishing stocked, non-stocked, and service items. Unit of measure, cost (standard, average, last purchase), warehouse assignment, and minimum stock levels migrate. Item planning parameters (MRP type, lot size, lead time) map from Freedom ERP's planning attributes to Infor's planning data. The Item Code becomes the Infor Item Number; Item Description maps to Name and 200-character description fields.
Freedom ERP
Bill of Materials
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
BOM and BOM Revision
1:1Freedom ERP BOM headers and BOM lines (multi-level structures with phantom assemblies, co-products, and scrap rates) map to Infor CloudSuite BOM and BOM Revision records. We reconstruct the full BOM tree before migration, mapping each component quantity, operation sequence, and scrap percentage to Infor's BOM line structure. Phantom BOMs in Freedom ERP map to Infor phantom BOMs flagged as phantom. Co-products and by-products require Infor's formula-style BOM configuration. BOM Revision dates map to Infor's effective-from and effective-to date ranges.
Freedom ERP
Routing
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Work Center and Routing
1:1Freedom ERP routing operations with work center, machine, labor hours, and setup times map to Infor CloudSuite Work Center and Routing records. We map Freedom ERP's operation sequence, work center code, and piece-work or time-based routing to Infor's operation number, Work Center reference, and Run Time/Machine Time fields. Routing with alternate work centers and sequence-dependent setups are preserved as Infor routing operation alternatives.
Freedom ERP
Production Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Production Order
1:1Freedom ERP Production Orders link to BOM, work center, and scheduling dates. We map Work Order number, item, quantity, scheduled start and finish dates, and status (Released, In Process, Completed, Closed). The BOM revision used at the time of Work Order release maps to the Infor BOM Revision reference. Operation progress (completed quantities per operation) migrates to Infor Operation Completion records. Discrete manufacturing and process manufacturing Work Orders map to corresponding Infor production types.
Freedom ERP
Chart of Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Account
1:1Freedom ERP Chart of Accounts with account type, account group, and GST/S-tax mapping migrates to Infor CloudSuite GL Account structure. Account Code maps to GL Account Number; Account Name maps to Description. Account Type (Asset, Liability, Income, Expense) maps to Infor account classification. Cost center assignments on Freedom ERP accounts migrate to Infor Cost Center records linked to the GL Account. GST registration and HSN/SAC code mappings migrate to Infor tax configuration.
Freedom ERP
Open AP
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AP Invoice and Voucher
1:1Freedom ERP outstanding Payables with vendor, invoice number, invoice date, due date, amount, and GST break-up map to Infor CloudSuite AP Invoice records. We resolve the vendor reference to the Business Partner created in Phase 1 and match the GL Account references to GL Accounts created in Phase 2. Outstanding AP balances aggregate at the vendor level in Infor AP aging reports. Closed AP records (fully paid) migrate as AP Invoice history if the customer requests full historical AP.
Freedom ERP
Open AR
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR Invoice and Dunning
1:1Freedom ERP outstanding Receivables with customer, invoice number, invoice date, due date, amount, and GST break-up map to Infor CloudSuite AR Invoice records. We resolve the customer reference to the Business Partner created in Phase 1 and match the revenue GL Account references. AR Invoice attachments (challan copies, delivery notes) are documented as file locations for manual re-attachment in Infor Document Management. Open AR aging and dunning group assignments migrate.
Freedom ERP
Employee
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Worker (HR Employee)
1:1Freedom ERP Employee records (personal details, department, designation, date of joining, status) map to Infor CloudSuite Worker records. Department maps to Infor Business Unit or Cost Center; Designation maps to Job Title. Date of Joining, Date of Birth, and Gender migrate as standard Worker fields. PAN and bank account details migrate to Worker payment information. Inactive employees from Freedom ERP migrate with an end date set. Org hierarchy (reporting manager) maps to Worker supervisor relationship.
Freedom ERP
Payroll Records
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Payrun and Earning/Deduction Component
1:1Freedom ERP payroll payrun summaries with earning components (Basic, HRA, Conveyance, Medical, Bonus), deduction components (PF, ESI, TDS, Professional Tax), and net pay amounts map to Infor CloudSuite Payroll records. We export payrun history per employee per pay period and map salary components to Infor earning and deduction codes. Actual payrun processing in Infor Payroll is scoped separately because tax regime (old vs new) and compliance configurations require destination-side setup; we deliver a payrun summary migration that populates historical compensation records for reporting continuity.
Freedom ERP
Quality Control Records
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
QC Specification and Inspection
1:1Freedom ERP QC inspection records linked to production lots and item batches (inspection criteria, measured values, pass/fail status, defect logs) map to Infor CloudSuite QC Specifications and Inspection records. Custom inspection criteria fields stored outside standard Freedom ERP tables require manual field-mapping against Infor QC Specification parameters. We flag any non-standard QC fields during schema audit and provide a mapping worksheet for the customer's QC team to configure in Infor before production lot inspection records are migrated.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and database access setup
We audit the Freedom ERP production database for schema version, custom tables, and data volume estimates per object (Items, BOMs, Production Orders, AP/AR, Employees, Payroll). We confirm database hosting arrangement (on-premise SQL Server, hosted VM, or managed database service) and secure read-only DB credentials. We review any Freedom ERP module exports already available and identify gaps. The discovery output is a written extraction plan, a schema audit report listing all standard and non-standard tables, and a database access checklist confirming connectivity from our migration environment.
Schema audit and custom field mapping
We run a full schema audit against the Freedom ERP database to identify custom fields, extended tables, and non-standard column names. Each custom field is catalogued with its source table, column name, data type, and sample values. We map each custom field to an Infor CloudSuite equivalent: standard Infor fields, user-defined attributes, or Infor OS data extensions. The mapping worksheet is reviewed with the customer's Freedom ERP admin and Infor implementation team. BOM and routing complexity is assessed here, with discrete vs process manufacturing mode confirmed before BOM tree extraction begins.
Data extraction in dependency order
We extract Freedom ERP data in record-dependency sequence: GL Accounts first (required for AP/AR and payroll), then Business Partners (Customers and Vendors), then Items and BOMs, then Production Orders and routings, then AP/AR open invoices, then Employees, then Payroll history. Each phase runs as a separate database query batch with checksum validation. Large tables (AP/AR history, payroll records) are chunked by fiscal year. All exports run during off-peak hours to avoid production performance strain. Each export emits a row-count report and a null-value report for mandatory fields.
Infor CloudSuite migration database staging
We set up the Infor CloudSuite migration database as specified by Infor's migration utility documentation: a new, initialized CloudSuite database with the Migration Utility pack installed and accessible from the external data source. We create Import Source Table definitions pointing to our exported Freedom ERP data files, configure Import Target Table mappings to Infor CloudSuite tables, and define Import Steps sequencing the load in dependency order. We run a Preliminary Data Transfer to generate the Data Assessment Report, review transformation rules for data type mismatches, and correct invalid values before the final transfer.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Infor CloudSuite sandbox environment using production-like data volume. The customer's Freedom ERP admin and Infor implementation lead reconcile record counts per object (Customers in, Vendors in, Items in, BOMs in, Production Orders in, AP/AR in, Employees in, Payroll records in). We spot-check fifteen to twentyfive random records per object against the Freedom ERP source for field-level accuracy. BOM tree integrity is validated by comparing total component quantities in Freedom ERP against migrated BOM lines in Infor. Any mapping corrections are documented and applied before production migration begins.
Production migration, cutover, and automation handoff
We freeze Freedom ERP writes during cutover, run a final delta extraction of any records modified since the sandbox migration, load the delta into the Infor migration database, and complete the final data transfer to the Infor CloudSuite production database. We run post-migration validation queries and deliver a reconciliation report comparing source record counts to destination record counts per object. We deliver a written inventory of all Freedom ERP automations, custom reports, and workflow configurations requiring rebuild in Infor CloudSuite's process catalogue and reporting framework. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
