Overview
Kladana ERP and Acumatica both target cloud-first SMEs in manufacturing, wholesale, and distribution, but their data architectures differ substantially. Kladana organizes around Counterparties (combined customer/vendor), Products (with variants and bundles), and transactions like Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, and Production Orders. Kladana's Business Process Configurator handles internal workflow automation, and its Free tier caps users and transactions while higher tiers unlock custom fields and production modules. Acumatica structures its distribution layer around separate Customer and Vendor entities, each with a Location hierarchy for multiple addresses and contacts. Stock Items use matrix items for variant management and carry attribute-level pricing. Acumatica's General Ledger, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivable are separate application suites requiring chart-of-accounts setup before transactional data can post correctly. Production Management in Acumatica requires BOMs, routing, and production order configuration before manufacturing data lands. FlitStack AI sequences the Kladana-to-Acumatica migration so master data (counterparties, stock items, warehouses) resolves before transactional records. We use Kladana's REST API to export objects and Acumatica's import scenarios and REST endpoints to load data, maintaining referential integrity across entities. Workflows, automation rules, and Business Process Configurator settings do not migrate — we export those definitions as a JSON specification so your Acumatica consultant can rebuild them as Acumatica Business Events and Actions. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any Kladana records modified during cutover so Acumatica reflects the final state at go-live.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Kladana ERP object lands in Acumatica, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Kladana ERP
Counterparty
Acumatica
Customer + Vendor (two records)
1:manyKladana Counterparty is a single entity covering both customers and vendors. FlitStack splits each counterparty into one Acumatica Customer record and one Acumatica Vendor record based on Kladana's counterparty type flag. Active sales orders route the counterparty to Customer; active purchase orders route it to Vendor. Each gets a primary Location in Acumatica.
Kladana ERP
Contact
Acumatica
Contact (on Customer/Vendor Location)
1:1Kladana contact records map to Acumatica Contacts attached to Customer or Vendor Location records. Each contact's phone number, email address, job title, and department information migrate as Contact fields. If a contact is marked as the primary contact in Kladana, that flag becomes the Default Contact designation on the corresponding Acumatica Location record, ensuring the most important contact is properly identified during the migration process.
Kladana ERP
Product
Acumatica
Stock Item
1:1Kladana products with product-type=Service map to Acumatica Non-Stock Items. Products with variants (color, size) map to Acumatica Matrix Items with the parent as the template and variant combinations as matrix rows. Bundle compositions from Kladana become Kit/Special fulfillment items in Acumatica.
Kladana ERP
Product Variant
Acumatica
Matrix Item (template + rows)
1:1Kladana variant attribute combinations (e.g., size + color) become Acumatica Matrix Item rows. The Kladana parent product becomes the Acumatica template Stock Item. Attribute names from Kladana (e.g., Color, Size) become Matrix Dimensions in Acumatica. Each populated combination creates one matrix row.
Kladana ERP
Warehouse
Acumatica
Warehouse
1:1Kladana warehouses map 1:1 to Acumatica Warehouses. Warehouse code, name, and address fields migrate directly without transformation. For setups using Kladana's bin storage configuration, Acumatica Warehouse Management configuration must be completed post-migration — the original bin records are preserved as a reference file so your team can recreate the bin structure in Acumatica if needed.
Kladana ERP
Sales Order
Acumatica
Sales Order
1:1Kladana Sales Orders map to Acumatica Sales Orders with the same order number, order date, and due date. Customer reference and description fields migrate as Sales Order description. Line items map to Sales Order Details referencing Stock Item IDs. Open orders migrate with status preserved; completed orders migrate with a Closed status flag.
Kladana ERP
Invoice
Acumatica
AR Invoice
1:1Kladana invoices map to Acumatica AR Invoice (or Sales Order with AR Invoice generation). Invoice number, date, due date, and amounts migrate. Line items map to Invoice Details. Kladana invoice tax amounts and discounts aggregate into Acumatica's tax and discount line handling. Payment status from Kladana carries as a reference note on the invoice.
Kladana ERP
Purchase Order
Acumatica
Purchase Order
1:1Kladana Purchase Orders map to Acumatica Purchase Orders with the same PO number, vendor reference, and dates. Line items link to Stock Item or Non-Stock Item based on product type. Open POs migrate with status Open; received POs migrate as Completed with receipt history preserved as an attachment reference. Currency from Kladana maps to Acumatica's vendor currency setting.
Kladana ERP
Inventory Movement
Acumatica
Inventory Receipt / Issue
1:1Kladana inventory adjustments, receipts, and shipments map to Acumatica Inventory Receipt (for inbounds) and Inventory Issue (for outbounds or adjustments). Each movement's date, warehouse, and item quantity migrate. Lot and serial number references from Kladana carry into Acumatica's lot/serial tracking fields. Movement reason codes map to Acumatica's Reason Code field.
Kladana ERP
Production Order
Acumatica
Production Order
1:1Kladana Production Orders map to Acumatica Production Orders with the same production ID and planned dates. BOM and materials from Kladana link to Acumatica BOM IDs post-migration. Operation reports and labor tracking from Kladana are preserved as PDF attachments on the Production Order for historical reference. Material variance and actual vs. planned quantities migrate as Production Order line notes.
Kladana ERP
Bill of Materials
Acumatica
Bill of Materials
1:1Kladana BOMs (standard and partial) map to Acumatica BOMs with the same code and version. Material components map as BOM lines referencing Stock Item IDs with quantities. Kladana BOM cost estimates migrate as a BOM Cost Profile record in Acumatica. Multi-level BOMs from Kladana require flattening and mapping to Acumatica's nested BOM structure.
Kladana ERP
Workflow
Acumatica
Business Events + Actions
1:1Kladana Business Process Configurator workflows (approval rules, notification triggers, field-update actions) have no direct Acumatica equivalent. We export the complete workflow definitions as a structured JSON specification covering trigger conditions, action steps, and escalation paths. Your Acumatica consultant uses this to rebuild equivalent automation using Acumatica's Business Events, Actions, and Screen Automation.
Kladana ERP
Custom Field
Acumatica
User-Defined Field (UDF)
1:1Kladana custom field definitions and values migrate to Acumatica UDFs. Each UDF must be created in Acumatica's Customization Project editor before data loads. Field type mapping: Kladana text → Acumatica String, Kladana number → Acumatica Decimal/String, Kladana date → Acumatica Date. UDFs on Customer, Vendor, Stock Item, Sales Order, and Purchase Order are supported.
Kladana ERP
Attachment
Acumatica
Files (on entity)
1:1Kladana file attachments (images, PDFs, spreadsheets) associated with products, orders, or counterparties re-upload to Acumatica Files attached to the corresponding entity. Original filenames and upload dates are preserved. File size limits (Acumatica default 25MB per file) are enforced during re-upload. Inline images in notes are downloaded and re-hosted as Acumatica File attachments.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Inventory Kladana data and map schema
FlitStack connects to Kladana's REST API and pulls a full inventory of entities: counterparties, products, warehouses, sales orders, purchase orders, production orders, and BOMs. We cross-reference this against Kladana's API rate limits and pagination patterns to build an export plan that handles large datasets in batches. The output is a schema map showing every Kladana entity, its field count, and the proposed Acumatica target (Customer, Vendor, Stock Item, Sales Order, etc.). This map is the basis for the object_mapping and field_mapping plan delivered before any data moves.
Configure Acumatica company structure and UDFs
Before data loads, your Acumatica consultant (guided by FlitStack's setup guide) configures the company structure: branch codes, warehouse definitions, chart of accounts, customer and vendor classes, and posting classes. We also deliver a UDF creation checklist so custom fields identified in Kladana are added to the appropriate Acumatica entities. Matrix item templates and dimensions are created at this stage. This step sequences before any transactional data loads so foreign key references resolve correctly during import.
Migrate master data: counterparties, products, warehouses, BOMs
Master data loads first so transactional records can reference valid IDs. Kladana counterparties split into Acumatica Customer and Vendor records (with Location records for addresses). Products migrate as Stock Items or Non-Stock Items based on Kladana product type. Variants become matrix rows on template items. Warehouses map 1:1. BOMs load with material components referencing the migrated Stock Item IDs. FlitStack validates record counts and referential integrity after each entity class before moving to transactions.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 100–500 per entity type — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source Kladana values against the corresponding Acumatica fields. You review lifecycle stage mapping (for CRM records), stock item resolution, order total calculations, and production order status assignments. The diff report identifies any missed custom fields, truncated text values, or value-mapping gaps before the full run commits. Approval gates at this step prevent data-quality issues from propagating into production.
Full migration with delta-pickup and rollback
The complete dataset migrates using Acumatica's REST API endpoints and import scenarios. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours after initial load) captures any Kladana records created or modified during the cutover period. FlitStack maintains an audit log of every migrated record, source ID, destination ID, and timestamp. If reconciliation identifies missing or incorrect records, one-click rollback reverts the Acumatica data and triggers a corrected run. After rollback verification, your team signs off and Kladana read access is revoked.
