Overview
Moving from Info.Net to Infor Cloudsuite is an SMB-to-enterprise manufacturing ERP migration with a significant API and schema gap. Info.Net, built by LAMAR Software, lacks a publicly documented REST or bulk export API, so migrations depend on direct SQL Server database extraction or CSV output from the UI. Infor Cloudsuite, built on AWS and available in industry-specific editions including Industrial (the direct successor to Infor SyteLine), provides a Migration Utility that accepts SQL Server 2008 or later source databases and maps them into a staged migration database before copying to the production environment. We handle the extraction method confirmation during discovery, preserve multi-level BOM revision histories, map Quality Control pass/fail records to Infor's Quality Management module, and resolve Item-to-Product lookup chains that depend on prior BOM and Work Center loads. Custom workflow configurations, approval chains, and alerting rules in Info.Net do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every active configuration for the customer's Infor consultant to rebuild in CloudSuite. Transaction histories (inventory receipts, issues, adjustments) transfer in post-date order to maintain stock valuation accuracy, and we flag any open Production Orders requiring manual closure or status carry-forward before cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Info.Net 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.
Info.Net
Items
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Product2
1:1Info.Net Items (finished goods, raw materials, and components with SKU, description, unit of measure, and cost) map 1:1 to Infor CloudSuite Product2 records. The Item number becomes ProductCode, description becomes Name, and unit of measure maps to the Infor Unit of Measure class. We confirm the Infor price book structure during scoping and create Standard Price Book entries during the Products phase. Multi-site manufacturers must confirm whether CloudSuite is configured for single-site or multi-site item assignments.
Info.Net
Production Orders
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Work Order
1:1Info.Net Production Orders (manufacturing jobs with status, quantity, scheduled dates, and assigned work centers) map to CloudSuite Work Order. We preserve the full production history including completion dates, scrap quantities, and actual labor consumption. The production order number becomes the Work Order number; the Item number links to the Product2 lookup. Open Production Orders require status carry-forward confirmation; closed orders migrate as historical records with post dates preserved.
Info.Net
Work Orders
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Work Order
1:1Info.Net Work Orders assign production tasks to employees or work centers with start/end dates and labor estimates. The full work order lifecycle including status transitions and actual labor consumption transfers to CloudSuite Work Order with the same lifecycle representation. Work Center assignments map to Infor Work Center codes that must exist in CloudSuite before Work Orders are loaded.
Info.Net
Bill of Materials
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
BOM (Bill of Materials)
1:1Info.Net multi-level BOM structures with revision versions and effective dates map to Infor CloudSuite BOMs. We preserve the component hierarchy across BOM levels, map revision naming conventions (Info.Net revision labels to CloudSuite BOM revision codes), and link BOMs to their parent Items via the Product2 lookup. BOMs must load before Work Orders because Work Orders reference the BOM as a production template.
Info.Net
Quality Control Records
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Quality Management Inspection
1:1Info.Net QC logs (inspection results, pass/fail flags, measurement data linked to production lots) map to CloudSuite Quality Management Inspection records. Field naming conventions differ between ERPs; we map measurement field names and preserve linked lot numbers. Inspection Plans in CloudSuite define the inspection criteria and acceptable ranges, and we flag any QC records referencing inspection types not pre-defined in the target CloudSuite QM module for manual setup.
Info.Net
Inventory Transactions
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inventory Transactions
1:1Info.Net inventory movements (receipts, issues, adjustments, and transfers) with timestamps, quantities, and locations transfer to CloudSuite inventory transaction ledgers. Post dates are preserved to maintain accurate stock valuation. We sequence the transaction load to follow Items, Warehouses, and Work Centers so that location and item lookups resolve correctly. Inventory balances are recalculated in CloudSuite after transaction load to confirm matching on-hand quantities.
Info.Net
Customers
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer
1:1Info.Net Customer records with billing addresses, shipping addresses, and credit limits map to CloudSuite Customer. Multi-address customer accounts (ship-to and bill-to) require special handling to ensure address roles are assigned correctly in CloudSuite. We apply field-level mapping for address structures and deduplicate any duplicate customer records identified during data profiling. Credit limit data transfers as a custom field if the Infor CloudSuite edition does not include native credit management.
Info.Net
Vendors
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier
1:1Info.Net Vendor master records with contact details, payment terms, and lead times map to CloudSuite Supplier. Address structures and multi-contact handling differ between ERPs; we apply field-level mapping and deduplicate duplicate vendor records. Payment terms map to Infor payment code definitions that must exist in CloudSuite before Supplier records load.
Info.Net
Custom Fields (Items, Customers, Vendors)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Custom Fields
lossyInfo.Net custom fields on Items, Customers, and Vendors require pre-creation in CloudSuite before the corresponding records load. We extract custom field definitions (name, data type, picklist values if applicable) during discovery, map them to Infor CloudSuite field equivalents, and flag any custom fields with no matching target for customer decision on whether to carry them forward. Custom field migration happens after base schema validation in the CloudSuite Sandbox.
Info.Net
User Accounts
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
User
1:1Info.Net user accounts with role assignments and permission sets map to CloudSuite User records. Roles map to Infor role definitions that we confirm exist in the target CloudSuite configuration. We cannot preserve individual password hashes; users require password resets post-migration. Inactive Info.Net users can be provisioned as inactive Users in CloudSuite for historical record ownership purposes.
Info.Net
Custom Workflow Configurations
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Workflow (to be rebuilt)
lossyInfo.Net custom workflow configurations do not migrate as code. We document every active workflow, its trigger conditions, sequence of actions, and routing logic during the discovery phase, and deliver a written inventory with recommended CloudSuite Workflow equivalents for the customer's Infor consultant to rebuild. Workflow dependencies on custom fields are noted in the handoff document so that the rebuild sequence respects the field availability dependency.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and extraction method confirmation
We audit the Info.Net environment: SQL Server version and database accessibility, active production order and work order volumes, BOM revision history depth, QC record count, custom field definitions on Items, Customers, and Vendors, active workflow configurations, and user account count with role assignments. We confirm the extraction method (direct SQL export vs. CSV from UI) and document any records requiring cleanup before extraction. The discovery output is a written migration scope document including extraction method, record counts per object, and a preliminary load order sequence.
Infor CloudSuite base configuration validation
Before data migration begins, we verify that the target CloudSuite environment is initialized with the required base configuration: company code, fiscal calendar, currency, warehouse structures, Work Center definitions, and Unit of Measure classes. We confirm with the customer's Infor consultant that BOM revision types, QM inspection plan templates, and price book structures are in place. This step is a prerequisite because the Migration Utility will reject records referencing undefined codes or entities.
Data profiling and transformation rule design
We profile the extracted Info.Net data against the Infor CloudSuite schema. This reveals field-level mapping requirements (e.g., Info.Net measurement field names to CloudSuite QM field names), duplicate records in Customer and Vendor masters, BOM revision date alignment issues, and any QC inspection types without a CloudSuite QM equivalent. We design the transformation rules during this phase: address role assignments, multi-level BOM decomposition, QC lot-number linking, and custom field value mapping. The transformation design is documented in a mapping specification reviewed by the customer's team before any data moves.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Infor CloudSuite Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's operations and finance leads reconcile record counts per object (Items in vs. Products, Production Orders in vs. Work Orders, etc.), spot-check sample records for field accuracy, and confirm that BOM revision dates and QC lot links resolve correctly in the target schema. We generate a Data Assessment Report using the Infor Migration Utility's built-in assessment process and review it with the customer. Any mapping corrections, missing code definitions, or data quality issues identified in Sandbox are resolved before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We execute the production migration using the sequenced load order validated in Sandbox: Items and Products first (establishing the product catalog), Work Centers and Warehouses (establishing operational sites), BOMs (linking to Products), Work Orders and Production Orders (referencing BOMs and Work Centers), QC Records (linking to lots and Work Orders), Customers and Vendors (in parallel, resolving address roles), Inventory Transactions (in post-date order, following Items and Warehouses), and finally Custom Field data on all applicable objects. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We maintain the transaction freeze window coordination throughout the production migration.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze Info.Net writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the window, then enable CloudSuite as the system of record. We verify on-hand inventory balances match between the final Info.Net ledger and the CloudSuite inventory ledger. We deliver the workflow inventory document to the customer's Infor consultant for rebuild in CloudSuite using Infor OS workflow configuration. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Info.Net custom workflows as CloudSuite workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement handled by an Infor implementation partner.
