Overview
Moving from iXERP Standard to Infor Cloudsuite is a structural ERP migration with two compounding challenges: iXERP exposes an undocumented REST API and uses proprietary CSV import templates that require live schema discovery, while Infor Cloudsuite uses a multi-tenant architecture on AWS with a dedicated migration database that accepts SQL Server source data only. We handle both constraints by running a pre-migration API probe against iXERP to capture field names and data types, reverse-engineering CSV column headers against module-specific templates, then mapping the extracted data into Infor's migration utility with dependency-ordered sequencing. Master data (Customers, Vendors, Items, Chart of Accounts, Bank Accounts) loads first, followed by open Purchase Orders and Sales Orders, then historical invoices and inventory transactions by scoped date range. Documents migrate as URL references only; the underlying files must remain accessible at the original URLs. We do not migrate iXERP workflows or automations; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's Infor partner to rebuild using Infor OS workflows post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a iXERP Standard 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.
iXERP Standard
Customer
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer / Party
1:1iXERP Customer records (name, contact fields, addresses, financial balances, payment terms) map to Infor Cloudsuite Customer or Party records. iXERP stores contact persons within the Customer record; Infor typically separates contact persons as Contact records linked to the Party. We extract embedded contact persons during the transform phase and create Infor Contact records with PartyId lookups. Outstanding invoice amounts and credit limits map to Infor's AR-specific fields.
iXERP Standard
Vendor
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier / Party
1:1iXERP Vendor master records (supplier details, payment terms, accounts payable balances) map to Infor Cloudsuite Supplier records. Currency and payment term fields require transformation if iXERP uses custom term codes. We run a vendor name dedupe check during pre-flight because duplicate supplier names are a known issue in iXERP source data.
iXERP Standard
Item
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item / Product
1:1iXERP Items (stock SKUs, non-stock items, services) map to Infor Cloudsuite Item records with item codes, cost prices, selling prices, and stock-on-hand quantities. Serial and batch tracking fields carry across where configured. Infor's item master uses a more complex structure with BOM (Bill of Materials) associations; we map item type codes to Infor Item Type and flag any iXERP items that require BOM creation in the destination as a separate configuration step.
iXERP Standard
Purchase Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Purchase Order
1:1Open iXERP Purchase Orders map to Infor Cloudsuite Purchase Order headers with line items, quantities, and received-to-date values. Status mapping is direct (iXERP Issued maps to Infor Released, iXERP Received maps to Infor Received). Closed and historical POs migrate as read-only records if the customer scopes historical data; open POs are the primary migration target to preserve buy-side commitments. We resolve vendor references using the Supplier mapping before PO import.
iXERP Standard
Sales Order
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order
1:1iXERP Sales Orders (customer commitments with line items, pricing, fulfilment status) map to Infor Cloudsuite Sales Order records. Fulfilment progress, shipping status, and related invoice references carry across. The CustomerId lookup resolves to the Infor Party or Customer record created during the master data phase. We map iXERP order statuses (Open, Invoiced, Cancelled) to Infor equivalents (Infor Open, Infor Closed, Infor Cancelled).
iXERP Standard
Invoice (AR/AP)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
AR Invoice / AP Voucher
1:manyiXERP Issues Invoices (accounts receivable) and Receipts Invoices (accounts payable) map to separate Infor AR Invoice and AP Voucher objects. Mappings between iXERP invoice types and Infor invoice types must be agreed upfront because naming conventions differ between modules. Historical invoices migrate as open items with payment status preserved; paid invoices may be scoped out to reduce migration volume. Tax codes and multi-line detail transfer with validation against Infor's tax code table.
iXERP Standard
Project
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project
1:1iXERP Projects (with associated tasks, time entries, budgets, and milestone dates) map to Infor Cloudsuite Project records. Custom project fields migrate as extended fields on the Project object. Resource assignments and budget data transfer with validation against Infor's project cost structure requirements. We preserve the task-to-project parent relationship during migration to maintain hierarchy integrity.
iXERP Standard
Task
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Task
1:1iXERP Tasks (assigned to projects, with status, hours logged, and assignees) map to Infor Cloudsuite Task records linked to the parent Project. Assignee resolution uses email-based matching against Infor User records. Time entries associated with tasks carry across as task detail or separate time recording entries depending on the Infor edition configured.
iXERP Standard
Employee
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Employee / Worker
1:1iXERP HR Employees (personal details, job roles, departments, compensation) map to Infor Cloudsuite Human Capital Management Employee or Worker records. Effective-dated fields are preserved during transformation. Multi-address records require flattening or multi-address handling based on the Infor HCM configuration. We map department and job role codes to Infor org structure equivalents during the schema mapping phase.
iXERP Standard
Document
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Document Reference
lossyiXERP document attachments are stored as URL or hyperlink references to external cloud storage rather than as binary blobs. We migrate the URL references but not the files themselves. Before migration, we validate that all document URLs remain accessible and document the storage dependency. If the customer changes cloud storage providers or revokes access, document links in Infor Cloudsuite will break. We flag this as a precondition in the pre-flight report.
iXERP Standard
Custom Field
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Extended Field / User-Defined Field
lossyiXERP custom fields across CRM and HR modules are detected during profiling and mapped to Infor extended fields with __c naming conventions or Infor's user-defined field framework. Picklist values are converted to Infor picklist domains. Multi-select custom fields in iXERP require transformation to Infor's multi-select format. Custom field mapping is validated in the test migration phase before production load.

iXERP Standard gotchas
API endpoint schema is not publicly documented
CSV templates use a proprietary structure
Document links point to external cloud storage
Rate limiting is undocumented and must be tested empirically
Infor CloudSuite Corporate gotchas
Infor OS tier-based usage limits gate API and BaaS capabilities
Custom Fields use inconsistent naming across Infor editions

Multi-site and multi-currency data require separate period closure sequencing
REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and API schema profiling
We audit the iXERP Standard environment across all active modules (financials, supply chain, CRM, HR, HelpDesk) using both the REST API and CSV export templates. We perform live endpoint discovery by probing the API directly, capturing field names, data types, pagination behaviour, and any per-module schema variations. We also document custom fields, active workflow rules, and multi-currency configuration. This output is the baseline migration scope.
Infor Cloudsuite edition selection and schema design
We confirm the target Infor Cloudsuite edition (Industrial, M3, Automotive, etc.) based on the customer's industry and functional requirements. We design the destination schema using Infor's migration utility, defining source tables (from the SQL Server staging environment), target tables (Infor CloudSuite), and any required transformation rules. We configure Chart of Accounts mapping, tax code alignment, and the sequence in which data must enter CloudSuite to satisfy foreign-key dependencies.
Test migration and data quality assessment
We stage extracted iXERP data in a SQL Server environment and run a test migration through Infor's migration utility into a non-production CloudSuite environment. Infor's Data Assessment Report identifies invalid records, missing required fields, and format inconsistencies. We resolve or flag each issue identified in the report, correct the transform rules, and repeat the test run until the assessment is clean. This phase typically requires two to three iterations.
Data cleansing and transformation
We apply cleansing and transformation rules to the staged iXERP data based on findings from the test migration. This includes standardising address formats, resolving duplicate vendor and customer names, converting iXERP date formats to Infor-compatible formats, mapping iXERP picklist values to Infor domain values, and creating Infor Party and Contact records as required. Multi-currency data is normalised where the customer's Infor edition supports it.
Production migration in dependency order
We execute production migration using Infor's migration utility with data loaded in strict dependency order: Chart of Accounts and tax codes first (no dependencies), then Bank/Cash Accounts, then master data (Customers/Vendors/Items), then open Purchase Orders, open Sales Orders, AR/AP invoices by scoped date range, Projects and Tasks, Employees, and finally custom fields. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Document URL references load as a final phase.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze iXERP writes during cutover, run a delta migration for any records modified during the migration window, then enable Infor Cloudsuite as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of every active iXERP workflow and automation with its trigger, conditions, and recommended Infor OS workflow equivalent. We do not rebuild workflows or automations inside the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's Infor implementation partner. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised during the first production week.
