Overview
JTL-Wawi and Infor CloudSuite occupy different tiers of the ERP market. JTL-Wawi is a German-market e-commerce ERP designed for SMB retailers managing multi-channel selling across eBay and Amazon via JTL-Connector; Infor CloudSuite is an enterprise-grade cloud ERP built for manufacturing, distribution, and complex supply-chain operations with multi-tenant architecture on AWS. There is no native connector between these platforms, so migration proceeds through JTL-Ameise CSV exports transformed into Infor's Migration Utility import format. We extract Artikels (items with custom fields), Kunden (customers with addresses), Aufträge (orders with workflow state), Rechnungen (invoices with tax calculations), and Lagerbestände (inventory snapshots) from JTL-Wawi, transform them against Infor's table schema, and load through Infor's sequenced import steps. We do not migrate JTL-Workflows, JTL-Connector credentials, or JTL-WMS pick-and-pack configurations; we deliver written inventories of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Infor or document for the migration team.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a JTL-Wawi 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.
JTL-Wawi
Artikels (Items/Products)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Item Master (MITMAS, MITCTL)
1:1JTL-Wawi Artikels map to Infor CloudSuite Item Master records. The Artikelnummer becomes Part Number; the Artikelbeschreibung maps to Description. Variationskombinationen (variant combinations) require a 1:N split: the base Stammartikel maps to the Infor item, and each Variationskombination becomes a separate item record with variant-specific attributes linked via MITMAS-MITCTL relationships. Custom fields (Eigene Felder) on Artikeln migrate to Mongoose custom fields or extended data structures depending on whether the customer uses the Mongoose Framework. We resolve cross-references to Stammartikel at migration time using the Artikelnummer as the dedupe key.
JTL-Wawi
Kunden (Customers)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Customer (OCUSMA)
1:1JTL-Wawi Kunden map to Infor CloudSuite Customer records. The Kundengruppe (customer group) maps to a Customer Type or Territory code in Infor. Address records (Rechnungsadresse, Lieferadresse) become separate address roles in OCUSMA. Payment terms from JTL (Zahlungsziel) map to Infor's payment term codes. We preserve any custom fields on Kunden in Mongoose-extended fields. Customer merge or duplicate handling requires a reconciliation step before import because Infor enforces referential integrity on customer codes.
JTL-Wawi
Aufträge (Sales Orders)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sales Order (OEHEAD, OELINH)
1:1JTL-Wawi Aufträge map to Infor CloudSuite Sales Order header and line records. The Auftrag_erstellt, bezahlt, ausgeliefert workflow states map to Infor's order status codes. We preserve the full order lifecycle including partial shipments by mapping each JTL shipping event to an Infor shipment record. Aufträge reference Kunden (customer) and Artikeln (items); both must be loaded first so that customer and item codes are valid at insert time. Infor requires order dates and requested dates to be sequenced within the order lifecycle.
JTL-Wawi
Rechnungen (Invoices)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Invoice (AR invoices via OEHEAD)
1:1JTL-Wawi Rechnungen map to Infor CloudSuite Accounts Receivable invoice records. Tax codes from the Rechnungen export require mapping to Infor's tax jurisdiction codes, which are region-specific and must be entered manually or mapped from regional VAT configurations during scoping. We preserve line-item tax calculations from JTL as Infor tax amount fields on each invoice line. Rechnungen that reference Aufträge require the parent order to exist before invoice import.
JTL-Wawi
Lagerbestände (Inventory/Warehouse Stock)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Inventory (WHINP, WHSIT)
1:1JTL-Wawi Lagerbestände map to Infor CloudSuite inventory records per Lager (warehouse). Aktuelle Bestände (current stock levels) and pending reservations migrate as on-hand quantity and allocated quantity respectively. We capture the exact inventory snapshot at migration cutover time and load it into Infor's warehouse site records. Multi-Lager configurations in JTL map to separate Infor warehouse sites with inter-warehouse transfer records if stock needs redistribution.
JTL-Wawi
Lieferanten (Suppliers/Vendors)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Supplier (APVEND)
1:1JTL-Wawi Lieferanten map to Infor CloudSuite Supplier records. Einkaufspreise (purchase prices) migrate to Infor's supplier price lists if the destination uses standard costing or to purchase order line defaults if using average cost. Rahmenbestellungen (framework orders) require mapping to Infor's Blanket Purchase Agreement records if the destination uses them. Supplier address and contact fields map to Infor vendor address roles.
JTL-Wawi
Zusatzkosten (Additional Costs on A/P Invoices)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Landed Cost / Additional Charges
lossyJTL-Wawi Zusatzkosten (transport, customs, duties) attached to Lieferantenbestellungen map to Infor CloudSuite landed cost or additional charge categories. These are cost types defined per supplier order and must be mapped to Infor's cost category codes during scoping. Infor's landed cost model may require additional configuration if the customer's business relies heavily on duty and freight cost tracking.
JTL-Wawi
JTL-Workflows (Automated Workflows)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Not migrated; written inventory delivered
1:1JTL-Workflows define event-condition-action chains tied to JTL-Wawi's event-driven automation engine. These do not migrate to Infor CloudSuite because Infor has a different automation model. We document all active JTL-Workflows during scoping with their trigger events, conditions, and actions, and deliver a written audit report for the customer's Infor administrator to rebuild using Infor Process Automation or ION workflows post-migration.
JTL-Wawi
JTL-Connector Links (Shopware, PrestaShop, WooCommerce)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Not migrated; connector audit delivered
1:1JTL-Connector credentials that synchronize Artikels and Aufträge between JTL-Wawi and storefronts do not migrate because they are JTL-platform-specific. We deliver a connector audit document listing all active storefront connections, the data flows they manage, and recommended approaches for re-establishing integration in Infor CloudSuite (typically via Infor ION or API-based connectors from the storefronts).
JTL-Wawi
JTL-WMS (Warehouse Management)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
WMS data (limited mapping)
1:1JTL-WMS extends JTL-Wawi with pick-and-pack workflows and pack-station configuration. WMS-specific data (Arbeitsstationen, Packtisch-Konfiguration) is not exposed via JTL's REST API and is not part of the standard JTL-Ameise export templates. We handle WMS data via JTL-Ameise where supported and flag any WMS configuration that requires manual documentation. Infor's warehouse management capabilities are covered by CloudSuite WMS if the customer licenses that module.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source JTL-Wawi installation across all supported objects: Artikels with Variationskombinationen, Kunden with address records, Aufträge with order lifecycle state, Rechnungen with tax calculations, Lagerbestände per Lager, Lieferanten with Einkaufspreise, Zusatzkosten, and JTL-Workflows. We assess the JTL-Wawi database type and connectivity (SQL Server or PostgreSQL), the UNC export path from the migration workstation, any JTL-Connector active storefronts, and the JTL-WMS configuration. The discovery output is a written migration scope document, a data-dependency graph, and a historical cutoff recommendation.
Infor environment assessment and Migration Utility setup
We assess the target Infor CloudSuite environment: which CloudSuite product variant (Industrial/SyteLine, Distribution, or LN), the database initialization status, and whether the Migration Utility pack is installed. We connect Infor's Migration Utility to the JTL-Wawi source database and validate the SQL Server 2008+ communication path. We configure the migration database in Infor and verify that the JTL-Wawi table schema is accessible for mapping.
Schema mapping and transformation design
We design the field-level mapping from JTL-Wawi objects to Infor CloudSuite tables using Infor's Database Schema Report and DataMap Schema-Properties spreadsheet. For each JTL object (Artikeln, Kunden, Aufträge, Rechnungen, Lagerbestände, Lieferanten), we define the target Infor table, the column mapping, the data type transformation, and any default values for Infor-required fields with no JTL counterpart. We build the import sequences in Infor's Import Steps form, ordering them by data dependency. We flag any JTL custom fields requiring Mongoose Framework mapping and coordinate with the customer on Mongoose schema deployment.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a staging environment using representative data volume. The customer's Infor administrator reconciles record counts (Artikels in, Kunden in, Aufträge in, Rechnungen in, Lagerbestände in), spot-checks 25-50 records per object against the JTL-Wawi source, and validates that custom field data, address records, and order lifecycle states are correctly mapped. Any mapping corrections, missing required fields, or sequence errors are resolved here. The customer signs off on the sandbox migration before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in strict sequence: master data first (Artikeln with Variationskombinationen, Kunden with addresses, Lieferanten, Unit of Measure Codes, Lager/Warehouse sites), then transactional data (Aufträge with resolved Kunden and Artikel references, Rechnungen with resolved Auftrag references, Lagerbestände per Lager). We run preliminary data transfers in Infor's Migration Utility, review the Data Assessment Report for each sequence, correct any transformation rules flagged by the utility, and then run final data transfers. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report.
Cutover, delta migration, and workflow handoff
We freeze JTL-Wawi writes at cutover, run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration window, and hand off to the customer as the Infor CloudSuite system of record. We deliver the JTL-Workflow audit report, the JTL-Connector audit document, and the JTL-WMS configuration notes for the customer's Infor administrator to rebuild automation and re-establish storefront integrations. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild JTL-Workflows or JTL-Connectors inside the migration scope; those are separate engagements or internal admin tasks.
