Overview
Moving from KeyedIn to Infor CloudSuite is a PPM-to-ERP migration that requires reconciling two fundamentally different data architectures. KeyedIn organizes around Projects, Task Plans, and Deliverables as top-level entities with resource allocation and financial tracking as separate planes. Infor CloudSuite Industrial organizes around Work Orders, Operations, and cost objects with financial management embedded in the manufacturing ledger. We extract KeyedIn data via the managed export or direct database access (no public API exists), stage it in Infor's migration database, validate data dependencies before each sequence, and copy validated tables to the production database. Deliverable-to-Task-Plan Milestone duplication is resolved during scoping before migration begins. We do not migrate KeyedIn workflows, automations, or custom reporting; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's Infor administrator to rebuild post-cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a KeyedIn 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.
KeyedIn
Project
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Work Order / Project
1:1KeyedIn Projects map to Infor CloudSuite Industrial Work Orders or Project Management entities depending on the CloudSuite edition and configuration. Project name, status, start and end dates, owner, and budget amounts migrate as top-level fields. We use Infor's Project Master or Work Order header as the destination record and preserve the KeyedIn project code as a custom identifier field. If the destination uses Work Orders, the Project maps to the Work Order header with Project Code populated from KeyedIn.
KeyedIn
Task
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Operation / Task
1:1KeyedIn Tasks nested under Projects map to Infor Operations (in the routing context) or Tasks (in the project management context). Parent-child hierarchy is preserved by ordering records by their KeyedIn parent reference and writing Operations in sequence order. Task status, dates, assignee (resolved via Resource-to-Employee lookup), and description migrate directly. If the destination uses standard tasks rather than operations routing, we flatten the nesting to a flat task list under the parent Project or Work Order.
KeyedIn
Subtask
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Sub-Operation / Task
1:manyKeyedIn Subtasks under Tasks represent a three-level nesting (Project > Task > Subtask). Infor CloudSuite Industrial typically supports two-level nesting (Project > Operation). We flatten Subtasks as child Operations or tasks under the parent Task, with an operation sequence number assigned to preserve the work breakdown order. If the destination's edition limits nesting depth, the customer chooses between flattening or maintaining a flat task list during scoping.
KeyedIn
Resource
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Employee / Work Center
1:1KeyedIn Resources (People or generic pool entities) map to Infor CloudSuite Employee records or Work Center assignments. Resource-to-project allocations migrate as separate allocation records linked to the Project or Work Order. We resolve KeyedIn resource assignments against the Infor Employee or Work Center table by name or code match during migration. Any KeyedIn Resource without a matching Infor Employee is flagged for the customer to provision before the allocation records are written.
KeyedIn
Portfolio
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project Group / Tag
lossyKeyedIn Portfolios group related Projects for executive visibility. We migrate Portfolio-to-Project associations as a custom tag or classification field on the Infor Work Order or Project record, or as a Project Group entity if the destination CloudSuite edition exposes it. The customer chooses the target strategy during scoping. Portfolio metadata (name, description, owner) migrates as a separate reference record.
KeyedIn
Deliverable (standalone milestone)
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Work Order Milestone / Project Milestone
1:1KeyedIn standalone Deliverables map to Infor CloudSuite Work Order Milestones or Project Milestones depending on the configuration. We flag any Deliverable that also has a corresponding Milestone in an attached Task Plan (duplicate representation of the same milestone) and present these to the customer for resolution before migration. Only the resolved canonical Deliverable record migrates to avoid double-counting in progress reporting. We preserve the original KeyedIn Deliverable ID in a custom field for audit trail.
KeyedIn
Task Plan
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Work Order Routing / Project Schedule
1:1KeyedIn Task Plans contain Tasks, Subtasks, and their own embedded Milestones. We treat the Task Plan as a grouping entity and migrate its contained Tasks and Milestones against the parent Project or Work Order. Milestones embedded within the Task Plan that duplicate standalone Deliverables are flagged during the Deliverable resolution phase. Task Plan-level scheduling constraints migrate as project scheduling fields in Infor.
KeyedIn
Time Entry
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Time Transaction / Labor Posting
1:1KeyedIn Time Entries logged against Tasks or Resources map to Infor CloudSuite Time Transactions or Labor Postings. Hours, dates, billable flags, and cost codes migrate as labor transactions linked to the Work Order Operation or Project Task. If Infor uses Shop Floor Control, time entries route through the MES time collection interface; we map KeyedIn hours to the appropriate Infor time transaction type. We preserve the original KeyedIn time entry ID for reconciliation.
KeyedIn
Financial Budget
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Budget / Cost Code / GL Line Item
1:manyKeyedIn Enterprise financial budgets (amounts, cost codes, period breakdowns) migrate as Infor Budget records or cost code assignments on the Work Order. Budget amounts and cost codes map to Infor cost object structures. We treat financial data as a separate migration plane from tasks and validate that migrated budget totals reconcile to the parent Project budget in Infor. Any currency mismatches or missing cost codes are flagged before write. Period breakdown migrates as budget distribution records against the Infor fiscal calendar.
KeyedIn
Risk / Issue
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Project Risk / Issue
1:1KeyedIn Risks and Issues logged at the Project level map to Infor CloudSuite Project Risk or Issue records with severity, status, owner, and description. We preserve the link back to the parent Project or Work Order via the Infor lookup field. If the destination CloudSuite edition does not expose a native risk object, we migrate these as Project Notes or custom fields with a type discriminator.
KeyedIn
Document / Attachment
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Document Management / Content
1:1Documents attached to KeyedIn Projects or Tasks (file name, URL reference, metadata) migrate as Infor Document Management records or ContentLink attachments. We migrate file metadata and URL references; actual file blobs require the customer to migrate the document repository separately or use Infor's Document Management to re-link existing files. We document the original file locations for the customer's IT team to handle the blob migration.
KeyedIn
Custom Field
Infor CloudSuite Corporate
Custom Field
1:1KeyedIn tenant-specific custom fields on Projects, Tasks, and other objects are discovered during the scoping scan and mapped to Infor CloudSuite custom fields by type (text, number, date, picklist). Infor's Custom Field Mappings tab (ION BOD mapping) handles the field-level mapping for integration-sourced data; we apply the same field-level mapping during migration database load. Any KeyedIn custom field without an Infor destination is flagged for the customer to decide whether to create a new field or drop the data.

REST API payload and timeout limits restrict bulk migration throughput
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and extraction method assessment
We audit the KeyedIn environment: edition tier, record volumes (Projects, Tasks, Resources, Deliverables, Task Plans, Time Entries, Financial Budgets), custom field inventory, and any existing Jitterbit connector configuration. We identify the available extraction method (managed export, direct database access, or intermediate CSV from application UI) and assess data freshness. For direct database access, we map KeyedIn table names to the data model and enumerate every custom field per tenant. The discovery output is a written migration scope, extraction plan, and an initial object-to-object mapping draft.
Infor CloudSuite Migration Utility environment setup
We work with the customer's Infor administrator to provision a new, initialized Infor CloudSuite database with the Migration Utility pack installed. We create the SQL Server migration database and configure the import parameters to connect the KeyedIn source database (or staged export) to the Infor migration database. If KeyedIn data is in a non-SQL format, we stage it in SQL Server tables first. We also configure the ION BOD Custom Field Mappings for any integration-sourced fields and enumerate Infor custom field schema to receive KeyedIn custom field data.
Schema mapping and Deliverable duplication resolution
We produce the full object-to-object mapping document: KeyedIn entities mapped to Infor CloudSuite tables, with field-level mapping for standard and custom fields. We run the Deliverable versus Task Plan Milestone deduplication scan, present duplicates to the customer, and apply the agreed resolution rule (preserve standalone Deliverable, preserve Task Plan Milestone, or merge) before migration begins. We also run a preliminary data transfer to generate the Data Assessment Report, which identifies invalid data, missing prerequisite codes, and format inconsistencies that would block import sequences.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Infor CloudSuite sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's Infor administrator reconciles record counts (Projects in, Work Orders in, Tasks in, Operations in, Financial Budgets in), spot-checks financial totals against KeyedIn budget reports, and validates milestone placement. Any mapping corrections, missing cost codes, or duplicate resolution updates happen in this phase. The customer signs off the mapping document before production migration begins.
Resource and prerequisite provisioning
We extract every distinct KeyedIn Resource referenced on Tasks, Task Plans, and allocations and match by name or code against the Infor CloudSuite Employee and Work Center tables. Resources without a match go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's Infor administrator to provision. Similarly, we verify that all required Infor master data codes (Unit of Measure, Cost Codes, GL Accounts, Work Centers) exist before migration sequences that depend on them run. Migration cannot proceed past master data-dependent phases until the prerequisite codes are provisioned.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in Infor's prescribed sequence: master data (codes, units, cost structures) first, then Projects and Work Orders, then Tasks and Operations, then Resource allocations and time entries, then Financial Budgets and cost code assignments, then Deliverables and Milestones, then Risks and Issues, then Documents and Custom Fields. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report and a financial total reconciliation (for the financial plane) before the next phase begins. We use Infor's Data Assessment Report and Data Transfer Log at each step to catch errors before they propagate.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze KeyedIn writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then copy validated tables from the migration database to the Infor CloudSuite production database. We deliver a written inventory of every KeyedIn workflow, automation, and custom report requiring rebuild in Infor CloudSuite, with recommended Infor equivalents. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild KeyedIn workflows as Infor ION Workflows or CloudSuite automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
