Overview
Teams migrate from Infor CloudSuite Corporate to Acumatica when they need a modern cloud-native ERP with open APIs, transparent resource-based pricing, and a user-friendly interface that Infor's legacy SQL-based architecture no longer provides. The migration carries Infor's standard ERP objects — companies, contacts, products, sales orders, purchase orders, GL accounts, and projects — into Acumatica's data model. Infor stores data in SQL Server databases accessed via the Infor ION middleware or direct SQL queries; Acumatica exposes data through REST APIs and OData endpoints. We extract from Infor's SQL layer, apply type-aware field transformations, and load into Acumatica's tenant. Original create and modify timestamps, transactional history, and file attachments migrate. Infor's custom workflows, automations (Infor Ming.le/ION), and built-in process triggers must be rebuilt in Acumatica's action-automation framework. Reports and dashboards are rebuilt from migrated underlying data. Integrations must be reconnected to Acumatica's REST/OData endpoints. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so referential integrity holds: companies and products load first, then transactions. We run a sample migration against a representative slice before committing the full data set so GL balances and account totals can be verified before go-live.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Infor CloudSuite Corporate 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.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Company
Acumatica
Customer
1:1Infor Company maps 1:1 to Acumatica Customer. Address, phone, and tax registration data transfer as Contact information subtab fields. Infor's multi-company hierarchy (parent/child) maps to Acumatica's parent Customer relationship. CustomerClass in Acumatica is assigned based on Infor's industry code or customer type field.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Company
Acumatica
Vendor
1:manyInfor Companies marked as suppliers in Infor extract to Acumatica Vendor records. A Company used in both contexts (customer and vendor) splits into both a Customer and a Vendor record, linked by the original Infor company ID preserved in Source_System_ID__c on each record.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Contact
Acumatica
Contact
1:1Infor Contact maps to Acumatica Contact under the corresponding Customer or Vendor. Name, email, phone, job title, and address fields transfer directly. Infor's contact association to multiple companies collapses to the primary Company link in Acumatica, with secondary links handled via the Relations subtab.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Product / Item
Acumatica
InventoryItem
1:1Infor Product records map to Acumatica InventoryItem. ItemCode, Description, BaseUnit, and standard cost transfer directly. Stock items and non-stock items are differentiated by Infor's item type flag mapping to Acumatica's ItemType (Stock Item, Non-Stock Item, Labor). Warehouse-specific quantities map to Acumatica's INSiteLotSerial nnn tables per branch.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
Acumatica
SOOrder
1:1Infor Sales Order maps to Acumatica SOOrder with all line items as SOLine records. Order number, order date, customer reference, quantities, unit prices, and line totals transfer. Order status (Open, Completed, Cancelled) maps to Acumatica's SOOrder status field. Branch ID on each SOOrder is set from the Infor site code mapping established during branch configuration.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
Acumatica
POOrder
1:1Infor Purchase Order maps to Acumatica POOrder with POLine records. Vendor reference, PO number, order date, and line details transfer. Expected and received quantities update Acumatica's POReceipt linked records. Branch ID derives from the Infor operating unit mapped during site-to-branch configuration.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
GL Account
Acumatica
Account
1:1Infor GL Chart of Accounts maps to Acumatica Account (GL Accounts screen). Account code, name, and account type (Asset, Liability, Revenue, Expense) transfer. Subaccount segments in Infor map to Acumatica's Subaccount dimension, configured in the Chart of Accounts screen with segment masking. GL account type mapping must be validated by a CPA before migration commits.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR Invoice
Acumatica
ARInvoice
1:1Infor AR Invoice records map to Acumatica ARInvoice (Accounts Receivable > Invoices > Data Entry). Invoice number, date, due date, customer reference, line amounts, and tax amounts transfer. Open invoices link to the Customer record; paid invoices carry a reference to the Payment record. Original Infor invoice ID is preserved in the invoice reference field for traceability.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AP Invoice
Acumatica
APInvoice
1:1Infor AP Invoice records map to Acumatica APInvoice (Accounts Payable > Invoices > Data Entry). Vendor reference, invoice number, date, due date, line amounts, and tax amounts transfer. Prepayments and credit memos map to APAdjustments linked to the invoice. Historical AP invoices are loaded as read-only records; open AP invoices can be paid through Acumatica's payment processing.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Journal Entry
Acumatica
JournalTransaction
1:1Infor GL Journal Entry records map to Acumatica JournalTransaction (General Ledger > Journal Transactions > Data Entry). Batch number, entry date, description, and all debit/credit lines with Account and Subaccount references transfer. Each line's amount, reference, and notes field are preserved. Historical closed periods are migrated as read-only entries to preserve audit trail continuity.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project
Acumatica
Project
1:1Infor Project records map to Acumatica PMProject (Project Management > Projects > Project Summary). Project ID, name, status, start and end dates, customer link, and budget amounts transfer. Change orders and project tasks map to Acumatica's Change Orders and Task entries under the project. Non-billable time tracking from Infor maps to ProjectTask with EmployeeTime records in Acumatica.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
User / Owner
Acumatica
User
1:1Infor users and owner IDs resolve by email match against Acumatica users. Unmatched Infor users are flagged before migration; the client either invites them to Acumatica first or assigns records to a fallback owner. Infor's role-based security model does not map directly to Acumatica's rights group model and must be reconfigured post-migration by the Acumatica administrator.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Attachment / Document
Acumatica
Files
1:1Infor document attachments on records (quotes, orders, invoices, items) are exported from Infor Document Management, re-uploaded to Acumatica's file storage linked to the corresponding record. File size limits and inline image handling follow Acumatica's attachment configuration. Large format files stored outside Infor's database are downloaded and rehosted during the migration window.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Custom Field
Acumatica
Custom Field (DAC)
1:1Infor custom fields defined in CMS470 (alphanumeric, numeric, or date type) and attached via custom field groups to items, suppliers, or purchase agreements require pre-creation of corresponding Acumatica custom fields via the Customization Editor before data loads. Field code, description, and data type are mapped; pick-list values in Infor migrate as Acumatica predefined list values on the custom field.
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Workflow / Automation
Acumatica
Not Migrated
1:1Infor CloudSuite workflows and automations built in Infor Ming.le, ION, or process designer have no direct Acumatica equivalent and do not migrate. FlitStack exports the workflow definitions as configuration documentation for the Acumatica team to rebuild using Acumatica's Generic Inquiries, Business Events, and Automation Schedules. All migrated data remains fully functional without workflows — business processes can continue in read-only mode while the Acumatica automation layer is rebuilt.

Multi-site and multi-currency data require separate period closure sequencing
REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Acumatica gotchas
API user licenses cap concurrent sessions and request throughput
Multi-tenant filtering requires CompanyID awareness
Custom fields require separate discovery before field mapping
Notes and attachments use a separate linked table structure
Implementation timelines frequently run 3–9 months end-to-end
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Configure Acumatica organizational structure
Before extracting data from Infor, we map the Acumatica organizational structure: branches for each Infor site, GL chart of accounts with account classes, warehouse locations, and Acumatica user accounts for all Infor users. We deliver a branch configuration plan that maps each Infor site code to an Acumatica BranchID, assigns GL account ranges per branch, and sets warehouse ownership per branch. The plan is reviewed by the Acumatica administrator and a financial lead before any data lands, ensuring the organizational skeleton is correct when migration begins.
Extract and profile Infor CloudSuite data
We connect to Infor CloudSuite via the built-in migration utility (Visual/SyteLine) or direct SQL queries for other Infor CloudSuite editions. Each master-data entity (companies, contacts, products, GL accounts) and transactional entity (sales orders, purchase orders, AR invoices, AP invoices, journal entries) is exported to a staging database. We run a data-quality profile on every extract: duplicate detection on customer and product IDs, null-field counts on required Acumatica fields, date-range validation, and orphaned transaction detection (orders for deleted customers, lines for inactive products). Data cleansing rules are documented and run before mapping begins.
Build field-level mapping and transformation rules
We map every source field to its Acumatica destination with transformation rules. For each field we document: direct mappings (same name and type), value mappings (pick-list translation tables), date-format normalization (Infor datetime to Acumatica UTC), currency-decimal precision alignment, subaccount-segment parsing from Infor's compound account codes, and branch-derivation logic from Infor site codes. Infor custom fields (CMS470/CMS471) are mapped to Acumatica custom fields that must be pre-created in the DAC before the migration run. The mapping document is reviewed by the client before any ETL runs.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 200–500 records covering the top 3 customers, top 3 vendors, 20 products, 30 open sales orders, 30 open purchase orders, and 3 months of recent GL entries — runs through the full ETL pipeline. We generate a field-level diff comparing source and destination values for every field in every record. The client reviews the diff to verify: customer and vendor addresses, product descriptions, order totals and line quantities, GL account assignments, and branch ID resolution. GL balance totals are verified against Infor's trial balance report. FlitStack surfaces any mismatches as change requests before the full run proceeds.
Execute full migration with delta pickup and audit
Master data loads first (companies, contacts, products, GL accounts, projects) in dependency order — GL accounts before transactions, customers before orders. Transactional data follows: open and historical sales orders, purchase orders, AR invoices, AP invoices, and GL journal entries. A delta pickup window (24–48 hours) runs after the main load to capture any records created or modified in Infor during the cutover. Every operation is logged to an audit trail. A post-migration reconciliation report compares record counts and GL totals between Infor and Acumatica. Rollback is available if reconciliation fails. After sign-off, the client cuts over to Acumatica and Infor enters read-only mode.
