Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from FUJITSU GLOVIA G2 to Infor CloudSuite is a manufacturing ERP migration that requires enumerating the active module subset from GLOVIA G2's 70+ module library before any data moves, because no two GLOVIA G2 instances share an identical schema. We begin with a module discovery audit, then extract transactional data via direct SQL access or GLOVIA G2 Application Adapters, cleanse and transform records to match Infor CloudSuite's sequential master-data entry requirements, and load through Infor's Data Migration Utility using stored procedures. BOMs present the highest sequencing risk because multi-level parent-child relationships must be resolved top-down; we build a dependency graph before any BOM records are inserted. Closed fiscal periods in GLOVIA G2 are write-protected and migrate as locked historical ledger records. Workflows, automations, and RPA configurations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every automation requiring rebuild in Infor CloudSuite's ION or Infor OS workflow engine.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2 logo

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2

What's pushing teams away

  • High total cost of ownership including software licenses, implementation services, and ongoing support contracts exceeds what smaller discrete manufacturers can sustain long-term.
  • The rebranding from Fujitsu Glovia to CrescentOne under Constellation Software created uncertainty about product roadmap continuity and support quality.
  • Implementation complexity—configuring 70+ modules, custom fields, and integrations—routinely exceeds initial project timelines and budgets.
  • Limited third-party integration ecosystem compared to SAP or Epicor; some customers report difficulty connecting modern SaaS tools to GLOVIA G2's on-premises instances.
  • Steep learning curve for new employees; the visual workflow interface, while familiar to power users, requires significant training investment for new hires.

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 FUJITSU GLOVIA G2 objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a FUJITSU GLOVIA G2 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.

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2

Item / Product

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item (Item Master)

1:1
Fully supported

GLOVIA G2 Item records map to Infor CloudSuite Item Master with part numbers, descriptions, unit of measure, cost layers, revision levels, and BOM links preserved. Item type (finished good, raw material, subassembly, phantom) maps to Infor's Item Type field. On-hand quantities, lot/serial numbers, and location assignments transfer from GLOVIA G2's inventory module. We resolve the Item Type and stocking category at migration time based on GLOVIA G2's item classification fields.

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2

Bill of Materials (BOM)

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

BOM / Bill of Materials

lossy
Fully supported

Multi-level BOMs, by-products, co-products, and batch production structures in GLOVIA G2 require top-down sequencing to preserve parent-child relationships during migration. We build a dependency graph from the GLOVIA G2 BOM table before any records are inserted into Infor CloudSuite, resolving phantom BOMs and BOM effectivity dates into Infor's revision control structure. Phantom BOMs that exist as GLOVIA G2 assembly-only structures map to Infor phantom items with zero lead time. This sequencing step is the highest-risk phase of any GLOVIA G2 manufacturing migration.

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2

Work Order / Production Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Work Order

1:1
Fully supported

Open and closed work orders migrate with operation sequences, labor hours, material allocations, and inspection results. Work order status maps from GLOVIA G2's workflow status to Infor's Work Order status values (Released, Pending, Complete, Cancelled). Closed work orders carry status history, but closed periods in GLOVIA G2 are write-protected so we migrate closed work orders as historical records with their final status rather than attempting to re-post to Infor's ledger. Routing operations map to Infor work order operations with work center assignments resolved from GLOVIA G2's routing master.

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2

Customer / Account

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer / Account

1:1
Fully supported

GLOVIA G2 Customer records including ship-to/bill-to addresses, credit limits, payment terms, and contact relationships map to Infor CloudSuite Customer. Where GLOVIA G2's CRM module is co-installed, we also migrate Contact sub-records and associated communication history. Customer dedupe uses the GLOVIA G2 customer number as the external key for initial load, with address normalization applied to match Infor's address format requirements.

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2

Vendor / Supplier

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Supplier

1:1
Fully supported

GLOVIA G2 Vendor master records (procurement terms, lead times, approved supplier lists, ASN data) map to Infor CloudSuite Supplier. Multi-plant vendor assignments from GLOVIA G2 resolve to Infor's site-specific supplier assignments. We map GLOVIA G2 approved supplier status flags to Infor's supplier approval workflow during migration, flagging any suppliers with expired certifications for manual review before they are set to active status in the destination.

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2

Sales Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Sales Order

1:1
Fully supported

Open Sales Orders migrate line-by-line with pricing, discounts, scheduled ship dates, and order status. GLOVIA G2 custom order fields and workflow statuses require explicit field-level mapping to Infor CloudSuite's Sales Order structure. We migrate only open orders; closed and invoiced orders migrate as historical records. Order totals and tax calculations are verified post-migration against GLOVIA G2's order register before the destination is set to active.

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2

Purchase Order

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Purchase Order

1:1
Fully supported

Open Purchase Orders map to Infor CloudSuite Purchase Orders with vendor references, line items, quantities, costs, and promised dates. GLOVIA G2 custom PO fields and approval workflow states require field-level mapping. Received-but-not-invoiced PO lines are flagged as in-transit inventory in Infor's receiving module. Closed POs migrate as historical records.

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2

General Ledger / Journal Entries

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

General Ledger / Chart of Accounts

lossy
Fully supported

GLOVIA G2 Chart of Accounts, sub-ledgers, and posting history map to Infor CloudSuite GL. Closed fiscal periods in GLOVIA G2 are write-protected and migrate as locked historical period balances as read-only records in Infor's GL. Open AP/AR sub-ledgers migrate as live Infor records. Custom ledger types added by GLOVIA G2 developers are identified during discovery and mapped to Infor's extended GL segment structure. Account codes and segment structures are reconciled before migration runs against the production period.

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2

Inventory / Stock

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Inventory (on-hand quantities, lots, locations)

1:1
Fully supported

On-hand quantities, lot/serial numbers, location assignments, and FIFO or lot costing values transfer from GLOVIA G2's inventory module. Lot tracking attributes (expiration dates, origin codes, certification status) map to Infor's lot master fields. Location assignments from GLOVIA G2's warehouse structure resolve to Infor's warehouse/location hierarchy. We migrate inventory snapshots at a point-in-time agreed with the customer, typically the end of the last open period.

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2

Document / Attachment

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Document Management (attached to Item, Work Order, Order)

1:1
Fully supported

GLOVIA G2 documents stored against items, work orders, and orders are exported via the GLOVIA G2 document management API and reattached to corresponding Infor CloudSuite records. We extract linked files as binary packages and reattach them to the destination records through Infor's document management module. Unsupported attachment formats (legacy proprietary formats no longer supported by GLOVIA G2's current viewer) are flagged for manual retrieval before cutover.

FUJITSU GLOVIA G2

Custom Objects / Developer Fields

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Custom Fields and Extended Data

1:1
Mapping required

GLOVIA G2 implementations frequently add custom fields and objects via the Bus and Task Developer environment. We identify all non-standard fields during discovery and build explicit mappings for each to Infor CloudSuite's extended field architecture. Custom fields that cannot map to standard Infor fields are held in a migration staging table and delivered as a supplemental data package for the customer to integrate post-migration. The customer chooses whether to deploy these as Infor custom fields, extended data tables, or external reference data.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Every GLOVIA G2 instance has a unique schema

    GLOVIA G2's 70+ optional modules mean no two installations share an identical schema. We cannot assume a standard field set exists for Items, Work Orders, or any other object. Discovery must enumerate every active module and all custom developer fields before we build the migration map. Skipping this step results in silently dropped records at migration time. We run a schema enumeration query against the GLOVIA G2 database during the first week of engagement and deliver a written Module Inventory before any data extraction begins.

  • BOM sequencing is the highest-risk migration phase

    Multi-level BOMs with parent-child dependencies must be sequenced top-down to avoid foreign-key violations during Infor CloudSuite import. GLOVIA G2 stores BOM components in a flat table that requires a dependency graph to be constructed before any inserts. Phantom BOMs, by-product links, and co-product allocations add additional complexity that the CSV-based Infor Data Migration Utility cannot resolve automatically. We build the BOM dependency graph before migration begins and use Infor's stored procedure import path rather than the CSV loader for BOMs.

  • Infor requires master data entry in dependency order

    Infor CloudSuite's Data Migration Utility enforces sequential entry of master data: Chart of Accounts must be posted before GL transactions; Items must exist before BOMs; BOMs must exist before Work Orders; Customers and Suppliers must exist before Sales and Purchase Orders. GLOVIA G2's modular architecture means that data for different modules may live in different tables or export files with different timestamps. We build a master data dependency plan before extraction begins and extract in the sequence that satisfies Infor's import constraints.

  • Direct database access required for on-premise GLOVIA G2

    Many GLOVIA G2 customers run on-premises behind their own firewall without a public REST API for bulk data extraction. Data export often requires direct SQL read access to the GLOVIA G2 database or file-based export from the application server using GLOVIA G2's Application Adapter module. We coordinate with the customer's IT team to establish secure read-only database access for migration runs and use the Application Adapter file export as a fallback when direct SQL is restricted. This adds 1-2 weeks to discovery compared to cloud-to-cloud migrations.

  • Reports and custom report definitions do not migrate

    GLOVIA G2's report definitions and custom Crystal Reports or equivalent reports stored in the system do not migrate to Infor CloudSuite's BI or report architecture. Infor uses its own reporting tools (Infor BI, Ming.le, or third-party BI integrations). We deliver a written report inventory listing every GLOVIA G2 report with its data source tables, filters, and output format. The customer's Infor implementation team or a reporting consultant rebuilds these post-migration. Report rebuild is outside standard migration scope.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful FUJITSU GLOVIA G2 to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Module discovery and schema enumeration

    We audit the source GLOVIA G2 instance across all 70+ module categories, identifying which modules are licensed and actively used versus licensed but unused. We enumerate every database table, custom developer field, and extended object added by the Bus and Task Developer environment. We deliver a written Module Inventory that maps each active module to its corresponding Infor CloudSuite functional area. This step typically takes one to two weeks and is a prerequisite for all subsequent phases.

  2. Data extraction via SQL or Application Adapter

    We establish secure read-only access to the GLOVIA G2 database (direct SQL for on-premise deployments) or use the GLOVIA G2 Application Adapter to export data files for cloud-hosted instances. We extract in master-data dependency order: Chart of Accounts first, then Item master, then BOMs, then inventory snapshots, then vendor and customer records, then open orders, then work orders, then GL transactions. Each extraction batch is checksummed and logged against the source record count.

  3. Data cleansing and field mapping

    We run data profiling across every extracted table to identify duplicates, missing required fields, address formatting inconsistencies, and cost layer mismatches. We build the field mapping document that associates each GLOVIA G2 field to its Infor CloudSuite equivalent, including custom field mappings and any transformation logic (date format normalization, currency code alignment, unit of measure conversions). We resolve the BOM dependency graph during this phase, identifying all top-level assemblies and sequencing child components in insert order.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We execute a full migration into an Infor CloudSuite sandbox environment (or staging environment provided by the customer's Infor implementation team). We run Infor's Data Assessment Report after the preliminary transfer and share the CSV with the customer's finance and operations leads for verification. We iterate on import rules and field mappings until the Data Assessment Report shows zero blocking errors. The customer signs off on the sandbox reconciliation before production migration begins.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration following the master-data dependency sequence validated in sandbox. Account/Chart of Accounts first, then Items, then BOMs (top-down by dependency graph), then inventory, then vendors and customers, then open Sales and Purchase Orders, then open Work Orders, then GL transactions. Each phase emits a reconciliation report (migrated count vs. source count vs. Infor target count) before the next phase begins. We run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window before cutover.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation handoff

    We freeze GLOVIA G2 writes during cutover, run the final delta migration, and hand control to Infor CloudSuite as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and Automation Inventory document listing every GLOVIA G2 automation with its trigger, conditions, and recommended Infor CloudSuite or Infor OS equivalent. We do not rebuild GLOVIA G2 workflows, automations, or RPA configurations as Infor workflows or ION integrations; those are a separate engagement. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised during the first production week.

Most GLOVIA G2 migrations land between six and ten weeks for single-site deployments with fewer than ten active modules, under 50,000 inventory items, and straightforward BOM structures. Multi-site domestic migrations with 15-25 active modules, complex multi-level BOM hierarchies, and large work order histories extend to twelve to eighteen weeks. The primary timeline drivers are BOM dependency graph construction, multi-site GL consolidation, and Infor CloudSuite's sequential master-data entry requirements. Data cleansing time scales with the number of GLOVIA G2 modules activated, as each module's data quality profile requires separate validation.
