Overview

What this migration involves

Info.Net is a modular manufacturing ERP built for SMB shops, storing items with multiple BOM levels, work orders with routing steps, customers, vendors, and GL account structures. Acumatica approaches the same domains through separate modules: Inventory Management for items and stock, Production Management for work orders and manufacturing, and Financial Management for the general ledger and cost accounting. When teams migrate from Info.Net to Acumatica, the core challenge is translating multi-level BOMs with operation sequences into Acumatica's production management structure, mapping Info.Net cost element breakdown to Acumatica account groups, and preserving lot and serial number lineage across the move. We handle the data extraction via Info.Net's export API, perform type-aware field mapping for inventory valuation methods and uom conversions, and load into Acumatica using the import infrastructure. Workflow automation, approval matrices, and custom screen modifications do not migrate — those require Acumatica-side configuration post-migration. The migration framework also validates data integrity across all imported entities, ensuring that historical transaction references and audit trails are preserved and that any missing or inconsistent values are flagged for remediation before the cutover window closes.

Info.Net

What's pushing teams away

  • Setup complexity and legacy system integration requires significant IT time and budget, especially for manufacturers with fragmented or older source systems.
  • Monthly subscription plus annual support fees accumulate to a significant cost burden for very small manufacturers with thin margins.
  • Workflow customization is limited and modifications beyond base configurations are difficult to implement, frustrating teams with unique manufacturing processes.

Choosing

Acumatica

What's pulling them in

  • Unlimited user licensing lets companies add staff without per-seat billing shocks, making Acumatica cost-predictable at scale.
  • Flexibility and scalability earn consistent praise — users value a platform that adapts to vertical workflows without forcing a redesign.
  • Real-time visibility across financials, inventory, and projects gives mid-market businesses a consolidated operational view previously available only in enterprise-tier ERPs.
  • Cloud-native architecture with automatic updates removes infrastructure management burden from in-house IT teams.
  • Modular licensing lets companies start with one or two suites (Financials, Distribution) and expand into Manufacturing or CRM incrementally.

Object mapping

How Info.Net objects map to Acumatica

Each row shows how a Info.Net object lands in Acumatica, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Info.Net

Item (Master)

maps to

Acumatica

Inventory Item (INItemSite)

1:1
Fully supported

Info.Net item master with part number, description, uom, and cost layers maps directly to Acumatica inventory item records. The primary site and stock item designation in Acumatica requires the item to be activated for a specific warehouse branch before stock quantities can be loaded from Info.Net location records.

Info.Net

Bill of Materials

maps to

Acumatica

Bill of Materials (AMBomItem)

1:1
Fully supported

Info.Net BOM headers with multi-level component lines translate to Acumatica BOM records where each material line references the child item and quantity per assembly. Phantom assemblies in Info.Net become BOM lines marked as phantom in Acumatica so they do not generate independent production orders.

Info.Net

BOM Operation Routing

maps to

Acumatica

Production Routing (AMProdItem / AMRouting)

1:1
Fully supported

Info.Net work order routing steps (machine center, setup hours, run hours, crew size) map to Acumatica production routing operations linked to the BOM. Each operation in Acumatica references a work center and specifies move time and queue time; Info.Net's shift-specific crew sizing is preserved as a note on the routing operation.

Info.Net

Work Order

maps to

Acumatica

Production Order (AMProdOrd)

1:1
Fully supported

Info.Net work orders with status (released, in-progress, complete) map to Acumatica production orders. The production order number in Acumatica carries a prefix derived from the source work order ID. Material allocations in Info.Net translate to material issues linked to the production order upon release.

Info.Net

Customer

maps to

Acumatica

Customer (ARCustomer)

1:1
Fully supported

Info.Net customer records with billing address, shipping address, payment terms, and credit limit map to Acumatica customer records. Customer class assignments in Acumatica (e.g., wholesale, retail) are derived from Info.Net customer type codes where present; otherwise a default class is applied.

Info.Net

Vendor

maps to

Acumatica

Vendor (APVendor)

1:1
Fully supported

Info.Net vendor master with remittance address, payment terms, and GL account for purchases maps to Acumatica vendor records. Vendor class assignments in Acumatica are created based on Info.Net vendor type groupings if they differ from the default and are linked to the appropriate AP account segment.

Info.Net

Purchase Order

maps to

Acumatica

Purchase Order (POOrder)

1:1
Fully supported

Info.Net open purchase orders with line items, quantities ordered, and receipt dates map to Acumatica purchase orders in purchase receipt status. Lines already fully received in Info.Net are recorded as closed; partially received lines maintain remaining quantity open in Acumatica.

Info.Net

Sales Order

maps to

Acumatica

Sales Order (SOOrder)

1:1
Fully supported

Info.Net sales orders with line items, quantities, pricing, and ship dates map to Acumatica sales orders in the appropriate status (pending, confirmed, or shipped). Drop-ship lines in Info.Net map to drop-ship lines in Acumatica referencing the vendor directly and include freight charges.

Info.Net

GL Account

maps to

Acumatica

Account (GLAccount)

1:1
Fully supported

Info.Net chart of accounts with account number, description, type (asset, liability, income, expense), and subaccount segments maps directly to Acumatica GL accounts. Subaccount segments from Info.Net are preserved as subaccounts in Acumatica for dimensional reporting and enable consolidated financial statements across entities.

Info.Net

Lot / Serial Number

maps to

Acumatica

Lot / Serial Number (INLotSerMst)

1:1
Fully supported

Info.Net lot numbers and serial numbers with expiration dates and bin locations map to Acumatica lot/serial master records. Lot expiration dates are preserved; bin location mapping requires a cross-reference table if Info.Net bin naming conventions differ from Acumatica warehouse locations.

Info.Net

Item Cost Layer

maps to

Acumatica

Inventory Valuation (INPostDetail)

1:1
Fully supported

Info.Net FIFO and average cost layers per item translate to Acumatica inventory valuation records. Standard cost items in Info.Net become standard cost items in Acumatica; average cost is recalculated based on receipt transactions loaded from Info.Net purchase history.

Info.Net

Custom Field (User-Defined)

maps to

Acumatica

User-Defined Field (UDF)

1:1
Fully supported

Info.Net user-defined fields on items, customers, vendors, and work orders require user-defined field creation in Acumatica before data loads. Field types are matched: text fields to string UDFs, numeric fields to number UDFs, and pick-list values to combo-box UDFs with the source values populated as options and ensure data integrity across all records.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Multi-level BOM nesting requires pre-migration routing design in Acumatica

    Info.Net multi-level BOMs with phantom assemblies and alternate routings do not map 1:1 into Acumatica's flat BOM structure. When a parent assembly references a phantom sub-assembly in Info.Net, that phantom must be modeled in Acumatica as a BOM with the phantom flag set so material is drawn at the parent production order level without generating a separate child production order. Alternate BOMs keyed to specific work centers require a routing definition in Acumatica with the alternate work center referenced. Teams that skip pre-migration routing design end up with production orders that cannot be released because the material and operation links are incomplete. We deliver a BOM-and-routing mapping plan before data lands in Acumatica so Production Management can be activated with the correct configuration.

  • Lot and serial number lineage across BOM explosions is not preserved automatically

    Info.Net tracks lot numbers assigned to components used in work orders through the production process, meaning a lot consumed from inventory can be linked to the resulting finished goods lot. Acumatica's production execution model handles material issues and receipt separately: material is issued from inventory using the selected lot, but the link between consumed component lot and finished goods lot is not automatically stored in a dedicated field. For regulated industries (food, pharma) that require trace-back from finished lot to component lots, this lineage needs to be reconstructed using Acumatica's lot history reports or a custom field to store the source lot list at production order completion.

  • Acumatica resource-based pricing tier can escalate unexpectedly with production volume

    Acumatica prices by resource consumption — transaction volume, not user count. Info.Net shops that primarily run discrete production orders with high work order counts and frequent material movements may find their resource tier rising at renewal if transaction counts cross Acumatica's volume thresholds. The migration plan should include a review of Info.Net transaction frequency (receipts, issues, adjustments per month) to estimate the target Acumatica resource tier and avoid a billing surprise at first renewal after go-live.

  • Custom fields on Info.Net entities require pre-creation in Acumatica before import

    Acumatica user-defined fields must be created in the application UI before data can be loaded into them. Unlike Info.Net where custom fields can often be added during import, Acumatica requires the schema to exist first. We provide a custom-field creation checklist for each entity (item, customer, vendor, production order) based on the Info.Net custom field inventory. Fields created post-migration require a supplemental import run, which adds cycle time and increases the delta-pickup window. We recommend completing all Acumatica UDF creation before the test migration runs.

  • Info.Net approval workflows and PO/ SO authorization matrices do not transfer

    Info.Net approval routing for purchase orders and sales orders (thresholds, approver chains, escalation rules) is workflow configuration stored in the platform's automation layer. Acumatica handles approval workflows through its generic inquiry and automation screens, which must be rebuilt from scratch. We export Info.Net approval threshold values and approver group memberships as reference data so your Acumatica administrator can configure the equivalent rules in Acumatica's approval workflow engine before go-live and validate them against current business practices.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Info.Net to Acumatica data migration

  1. Inventory Info.Net data model and create entity cross-reference

    Before extraction begins, FlitStack AI analyzes Info.Net's chart of accounts, item structure (stock vs. non-stock vs. service), BOM levels, and routing configuration. We generate an entity cross-reference document listing every Info.Net entity that will map to an Acumatica record type, flagging multi-level BOMs and phantom assemblies for routing design. This step identifies missing Acumatica entities (e.g., work centers, lot classes, account classes) that must be created before data loads and delivers a completion checklist to your Acumatica admin.

  2. Export source data and validate record counts

    FlitStack AI extracts records from Info.Net via its export API using scoped read access. We pull item masters with cost layers, BOM headers and lines, work order headers and operations, customer and vendor records, open purchase and sales orders, GL accounts with subaccount segments, and lot/serial number history. Record counts and field-level completeness are validated against Info.Net report totals to catch gaps before transformation begins. Any records with missing required fields (e.g., items with no cost layer) are flagged with a correction request.

  3. Run a sample migration with field-level diff for production validation

    A representative slice of 200-500 records spanning items, BOMs, work orders, customers, and vendors is migrated into a staging Acumatica instance. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against the loaded Acumatica records, verifying BOM component quantities, routing operation times, lot expiration dates, and GL account assignments. BOM-nesting depth, phantom assembly flagging, and lot lineage mapping are validated specifically. Your team reviews the diff and approves the mapping before the full migration is scheduled.

  4. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The complete data set is loaded into the production Acumatica instance following the entity dependency order: GL accounts, warehouses, and work centers first, then items and cost layers, then BOMs and routings, then customers and vendors, then open purchase and sales orders, and finally work orders with production status. A delta-pickup window of 24-48 hours captures any records created or modified in Info.Net during the cutover. FlitStack AI logs every import operation with source record ID and Acumatica record ID for reconciliation traceability. One-click rollback reverts all imported records if validation fails.

  5. Deliver reconciliation report and rebuild reference packages

    FlitStack AI generates a reconciliation report comparing Info.Net totals (item count by type, open work order count, outstanding PO/SO dollar values, GL trial balance) against Acumatica aggregate figures. Any discrepancies are listed with record IDs for manual resolution. Simultaneously, we deliver an approval workflow rebuild reference package containing Info.Net threshold values and approver group memberships, a BOM-and-routing mapping plan for Acumatica Production Management, and a screen modification reference for any Info.Net custom fields that require equivalent Acumatica user-defined field configuration.

Most Info.Net to Acumatica migrations complete in 48-72 hours of clock time for setups with fewer than 50,000 records and single-level BOMs. Complex manufacturing configurations with multi-level BOMs exceeding four nesting levels, multiple alternate routings, and lot tracking across production orders extend the timeline to 5-10 days. The longest planning step is designing the Acumatica routing and BOM structure to match Info.Net's operation sequences before data extraction begins.
