Migrate from Kafinea to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Kafinea Customers with contact details, addresses, and payment terms export via REST API and map to Infor CloudSuite Account records. Kafinea's separate CRM Companies object merges into the Account record unless the customer requires a distinction between billing and operational entities. We preserve the primary contact relationship and payment terms as Account fields. If Kafinea uses a billing entity separate from the operating company, we map to Infor's multi-company structure with intercompany account configuration.

Kafinea Classic, Progress, and Recurring invoicing types map to Infor's invoice structures with explicit flags for invoice type. Invoice-to-payment links and credit note chains preserve the parent-child relationship through the invoice number and document date. We flag any Kafinea VAT treatment or French e-invoicing compliance codes that require manual adjustment in Infor's tax configuration because the destination's country-specific tax module may use different VAT codes and posting rules.

Kafinea's real-time journal entries with multi-line debits and credits require sequencing by posting date during import into Infor CloudSuite. Entries linked to SEPA bank transactions carry the original transaction reference, which we preserve as a GL reference field rather than as a live banking link. Infor's batch-oriented posting model means we group entries by accounting period and post in chronological order to maintain period integrity. Historical entries spanning multiple fiscal years may require Infor's multi-fiscal-year configuration.

Kafinea accounts with account type, currency, and optional cost center map to Infor's account structure. Custom or non-standard account codes in Kafinea are flagged for manual review because Infor's account code format may impose length or character restrictions depending on the CloudSuite edition. We preserve the account code as the primary key and map account type to Infor's account classification (Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, Expense). If the destination uses cost center accounting, we configure the cost center dimension alongside the main account.

Kafinea tiered Price Books with quantity-based pricing tiers (different prices at different quantity breakpoints) require value-mapping to Infor's price structure model. Sales order line items migrate with product references and pricing rules preserved. We flag any tiered pricing conditions that cannot map to Infor's standard price list because Infor's price engine uses different quantity break semantics. Product codes from Kafinea map to Infor Item numbers, and we validate that item records exist in Infor before line item import begins.

Kafinea CRM Contacts and Companies are separate objects with a link between them. We map Contacts to Infor CloudSuite Contact records and resolve the Company link to the Infor Account. Lifecycle stages from Kafinea CRM migrate as custom properties on the Contact record because Infor CloudSuite does not have a native lifecycle stage model equivalent to Kafinea's. We preserve the contact's primary flag and role within the company.

Kafinea Service Contracts define recurring billing and SLA terms that map to Infor CloudSuite's service management module. Contract start and end dates, billing frequency, and SLA tier migrate as structured fields. We flag any SLA terms that require configuration in Infor's service level agreement setup because the semantic meaning of SLA tiers may differ between platforms.

Kafinea Interventions (time or task records logged against service contracts) map to Infor's work order or service ticket object depending on which CloudSuite edition the customer deploys. Each intervention carries a relationship to the parent Service Contract, which we resolve through Infor's contract lookup during import. Intervention status, assigned technician, and time spent migrate as structured fields. We flag any interventions with missing contract references for manual resolution because the work order requires a parent contract to be valid.

Kafinea time entries linked to users and projects or standing alone as absence records require sequential import to preserve accrual calculations in Infor CloudSuite's HR module. Effective-dated absence balances are imported in chronological order to maintain the correct accrual state. We flag any time entries that reference Kafinea projects not present in Infor, which requires the customer to either provision matching project codes or accept the time entry without a project reference.

Kafinea exposes customizable fields across most objects via REST API with picklist values, dates, and numerics requiring explicit type casting for Infor. We map custom field names and data types, then configure equivalent custom fields in Infor OS Mongoose Framework before import. Infor's custom field model differs from Kafinea's and may require Infor consultant involvement for complex custom objects. We provide a custom field mapping spreadsheet as part of the migration package.

Documents stored in Kafinea EDM export as file references or direct downloads with folder structure preserved. We attach them to the corresponding Infor records (Account, Invoice, Work Order, Contact) using Infor's document management system. Large document volumes may require pre-staging in Infor's document storage before the record migration phase to avoid import bottlenecks.

Kafinea banking synchronization links invoices to SEPA direct debit mandates and bank statements. These links are stored against Kafinea's bank configuration and cannot be exported as live payment method references. We extract the mandate identifiers, bank account numbers, and mandate reference strings into a companion file. The customer's admin re-enters these in Infor CloudSuite's payment method setup and re-initiates bank account verification. SEPA direct debit requires the customer to set up the payment service in Infor before invoices can be posted against the new payment method.
