Migrate from Infor SyteLine / Infor CloudSuite Industrial to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Customer master records map directly to the Infor CloudSuite Customer table. Address, contact, credit limit, and payment term fields transfer with field-type validation. Multi-site configurations where the same customer has distinct ship-to addresses map to separate Customer records with the same CustNum group key. Customer phone and email contact details migrate as communication records attached to the Customer entity.

Vendor records map to the CloudSuite Vendor table with address, banking, and purchasing terms preserved. Vendors must be imported before Purchase Orders to satisfy the referential integrity constraints that CloudSuite enforces at import time. We sequence vendor imports before any transactional data and resolve any vendor codes that are referenced in open Purchase Orders before loading PO records.

Items (products, materials, and services) are the central manufacturing object in CloudSuite. SyteLine's item type taxonomy — Standard, Phantom, Family, Configured, Non-Stocked, and Service — maps directly to CloudSuite ItemType values. Planning attributes (MRP parameters, sourcing rules, lot sizing) and cost layers (standard, average, FIFO) transfer with type-appropriate field mapping. Item Warehouse records for per-site inventory parameters map to corresponding CloudSuite site configurations.

Multi-level BOMs transfer as complete structures with parent-component relationships, quantities-per, operation sequences, and scrap percentages preserved. Phantom assemblies, which SyteLine marks as ItemType=Phantom, migrate with their BOM structure intact. BOM revision control dates map to CloudSuite's revision-level tracking. We validate that every component item exists in the destination before the BOM import phase begins, resolving any orphan components that require pre-import item creation.

Routing records (work center definitions, operation sequences, standard times, and setup/cycle cost factors) attach to Items and Jobs. We map work center codes to CloudSuite Work Center entities, preserving the sequence number, work center reference, and machine/labor flag on each operation. If the source SyteLine instance uses alternate routings, we import the primary routing first and flag alternates for CloudSuite Work Order routing assignment during job creation.

Sales Order header records (customer reference, order date, terms, ship-to address) map to CloudSuite SfcOrderHeader, and line items map to SfcOrderDetail with item number, quantity, price, and due date preserved. Blanket order release structures map to the CloudSuite blanket PO/release model. Order-to-cash linkage is maintained by resolving Customer CustNum references at import time. We flag orders with CPQ-driven configuration lines for review because line-level pricing derived from SyteLine Configure, Price, Quote data may require field-level mapping adjustment.

Purchase Order header and line structure maps to CloudSuite PO forms with vendor reference, order date, and terms on the header; item number, quantity, price, and due date on each line. Blanket PO with scheduled releases migrate as the parent blanket record plus individual release records. We resolve vendor codes against the imported vendor set before loading PO records to avoid orphan references.

SyteLine Jobs (manufacturing work orders) map to CloudSuite Job records with materials, operations, and completions. Job status (Released, Complete, Closed) transfers as-is. For released jobs imported from SyteLine, the material issue transactions must be re-created in CloudSuite using Miscellaneous Issue Reason Codes specified during migration planning — Infor's migration utility documentation explicitly requires this step to generate correct WIP journal entries. We run a preliminary data transfer to review job data before final import.

Quotes generated via SyteLine's CPQ module map to the CloudSuite Quoting object with header and configuration lines. Item configurations, pricing, and customer references transfer. We validate that the source quote's item configurations still resolve to valid destination Items during the preliminary transfer phase.

Open receivables and payables transfer with customer/vendor references, invoice amounts, due dates, payment terms, and status flags. We export open invoices and credit memos from SyteLine's accounts receivable and payable tables, map to the corresponding CloudSuite invoice records, and preserve aging data and payment terms. Closed transactions are not migrated as they represent historical record rather than active obligations.

SyteLine multi-site configurations with separate inventory, purchasing, and production settings per site map to CloudSuite Sites. Site-level inventory balances transfer as opening quantities validated against inventory valuation. When the source SyteLine instance uses multi-company structures, we map each company entity to a corresponding CloudSuite entity with intercompany transaction parameters configured.

SyteLine stores custom fields as extended columns on standard SQL tables rather than in separate tables. We inspect the full column set of each exported table to identify non-standard columns, map them to CloudSuite custom properties with equivalent data types, and document SyteLine-specific enumerated list values that require a separate value-mapping table. All non-standard columns are reviewed with the customer before committing to the mapping.
