Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Konnect ERP to Infor Cloudsuite is a migration from a regional, API-limited platform to an industry-specific enterprise cloud suite. Konnect ERP does not publish a REST API or bulk export endpoint, which means migration scoping begins with a live-instance data audit rather than programmatic enumeration. We work through the source instance module by module, confirming which domains are active, extracting master data and transactions in dependency order, and resolving cross-references (Customer-to-Invoice, Project-to-Timesheet, Employee-to-Payroll) before loading begins. Infor CloudSuite requires master data to be entered in a specific sequence due to table-level dependencies; we honor that sequence explicitly and load GST transaction records with HSN and SAC codes validated against Infor's tax configuration. Workflows, automations, and custom forms do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's implementation team to rebuild in Infor CloudSuite's configuration layer.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Konnect ERP logo

Konnect ERP

What's pushing teams away

  • No public API — Konnect ERP is explicitly listed as 'does not offer an API' by SoftwareWorld, blocking automated downstream integrations.
  • Reviewer complaints about analytical report malfunctions surface as a recurring complaint — when reporting fails during decision moments, executive trust erodes.
  • Vendor footprint concentrated in India (Coimbatore-based); outside the subcontinent the partner network for support and customization is thin.
  • Pricing is not publicly disclosed and there is no free production tier — only a free trial — making procurement comparison difficult without sales engagement.
  • Smaller installed base than Tally, Marg ERP, ProfitBooks, and Vyapar in the Indian SME ERP segment.

Choosing

Infor CloudSuite Corporate logo

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

What's pulling them in

  • Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific out of the box — manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, and food & beverage editions ship with preconfigured workflows that reduce the need for extensive customization and accelerate time to value for operations-heavy organizations.
  • The platform's deep integration with Excel for financial reporting is frequently cited as a key productivity feature, allowing finance teams to pull data directly and make changes without leaving familiar tooling.
  • AWS-hosted multi-tenant deployment eliminates data center management for IT teams, and Infor OS provides a unified integration layer (ION) that connects the CloudSuite to third-party applications without point-to-point middleware.
  • Organizations with multi-site or multi-country operations choose Infor for its multicurrency, multilanguage, and local regulatory compliance capabilities across 175+ countries, which simplifies consolidation for global CFOs.
  • The two-tier ERP strategy positioning lets corporate headquarters run CloudSuite while subsidiaries run lighter instances, which appeals to complex organizational structures that want standardization without full replacement.

Object mapping

How Konnect ERP objects map to Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Each row shows how a Konnect ERP 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.

Konnect ERP

Customers

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Business Partner / Customer

1:1
Fully supported

Konnect ERP Customer records (name, contact details, GSTIN, billing address, outstanding balances) map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner records with the customer flag set. The GSTIN field maps to the Tax ID or VAT Registration field in Infor's Business Partner master. Outstanding balance is preserved as an open AR amount on the Business Partner record but Infor recommends carrying forward open invoices as AR/AP transactions rather than summary balances. We validate that every Customer has a corresponding state code before import because Infor CloudSuite tax jurisdiction assignment depends on the address state.

Konnect ERP

Items

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Item Master

1:1
Fully supported

Konnect ERP Items (SKU, description, unit of measure, HSN code, cost, price) map to Infor CloudSuite Item Master records. The HSN code from Konnect ERP maps to the Tax Code field on the Item Master; we flag any HSN code that does not have a corresponding Infor tax code entry and escalate for manual resolution before the item import runs. Unit of Measure maps from Konnect's UOM field to Infor's UOM code with a lookup against the Infor UOM conversion table.

Konnect ERP

Chart of Accounts

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Chart of Accounts

1:1
Mapping required

Konnect ERP Chart of Accounts entries (account code, name, type, parent) map to Infor CloudSuite Chart of Accounts with a customer-provided mapping table. Account codes vary by company setup in Konnect ERP; we extract the full COA and apply a destination-account mapping table before import. Infor CloudSuite enforces a sequential load order for the COA (account types before individual accounts, parent accounts before child accounts), which we honor explicitly. Any Konnect ERP accounts without a mapped Infor equivalent are flagged in the pre-migration report for the customer to decide on new account creation.

Konnect ERP

Open Invoices / AR

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Accounts Receivable / Open Invoices

1:1
Fully supported

Outstanding Konnect ERP invoices (open/closed status, amounts, due dates, customer reference, line items) map to Infor CloudSuite AR Open Invoice records. The Customer ID in Konnect ERP must resolve to a Business Partner ID in Infor CloudSuite, which requires the Business Partner import to complete first. Invoice line items reference Item IDs that must have been migrated to the Item Master before the invoice import runs. We preserve invoice date, due date, invoice number, and GST tax breakdown as separate fields in Infor CloudSuite's invoice header.

Konnect ERP

Projects

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Project / Work Order

1:1
Fully supported

Konnect ERP Project records (customer association, billing plan, milestone schedule, man-hour allocations) map to Infor CloudSuite Project or Work Order depending on the CloudSuite edition in use (Industrial vs Distribution). The customer association maps to the Business Partner reference on the Project. We preserve the full project structure including milestone dates and allocate the project man-hour budget to Infor's labor tracking module. Projects without a valid customer reference in Konnect ERP are held in a pre-migration queue.

Konnect ERP

Timesheet Entries

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Labor Tracking / Time & Attendance

1:1
Mapping required

Konnect ERP Timesheet records (employee reference, project reference, date range, hours logged) map to Infor CloudSuite Labor Tracking entries. The Employee reference must resolve to an Infor Employee ID, and the Project reference must resolve to an Infor Project or Work Order ID. We pre-map all Employee and Project IDs before the timesheet import runs. Entries without a valid project reference are excluded from migration with a count reported in the pre-migration reconciliation.

Konnect ERP

Employees

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Employee Master / Workforce Management

1:1
Fully supported

Konnect ERP Employee records (personal details, department, designation, effective-dated status, compensation) map to Infor CloudSuite Employee Master. The employee's state and country determine the payroll jurisdiction in Infor Workforce Management. We export all active and terminated employees within a defined retention window (typically two years) and flag any employee with a missing department or designation for manual resolution before import. Active compensation fields migrate to Infor's pay component structure with a mapping table for the customer's review.

Konnect ERP

GST Transaction Records

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

E-Invoicing / Tax Register

1:1
Mapping required

Konnect ERP E-Invoicing and E-Way Bill records (GSTIN-tagged with HSN for goods and SAC for services) map to Infor CloudSuite Tax Register entries. The HSN/SAC code remapping is the most complex field-level transformation in this migration because Infor CloudSuite uses a jurisdiction-specific tax code table that may not contain the same HSN/SAC values stored in Konnect ERP. We generate a pre-migration HSN/SAC gap report listing every unique code in Konnect ERP that has no Infor CloudSuite counterpart, and the customer creates the missing tax codes in Infor before the GST transaction import runs. IRN (Invoice Reference Number) from Konnect ERP's E-Invoicing module maps to the External Reference field in Infor.

Konnect ERP

Vendors / Suppliers

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Business Partner / Vendor

1:1
Fully supported

Konnect ERP Vendor records (if the Purchases module is active) map to Infor CloudSuite Business Partner records with the vendor flag set. The vendor's PAN and GSTIN map to the Tax ID fields. Vendor outstanding balances (AP) map to Infor CloudSuite AP Open Invoice records in the same manner as AR records. If the Konnect ERP Purchases module is not active in the source instance, we skip this object and document the absence in the pre-migration scope confirmation.

Konnect ERP

Inventory / Stock

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Inventory Management / Stock

1:1
Fully supported

Konnect ERP inventory stock records (item reference, warehouse, quantity on hand, last transaction date) map to Infor CloudSuite Inventory On Hand records. We require the Item Master to be loaded first so that item ID references are valid. Warehouse mapping from Konnect ERP warehouse codes to Infor CloudSuite site codes is required and is validated during the pre-migration reconciliation step. Inventory valuation method (FIFO, average cost) is preserved in the Item Master configuration migrated in the Items object.

Konnect ERP

Bills of Materials / Recipes

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

BOM / Routing

lossy
Fully supported

If the Konnect ERP Manufacturing module is active, BOM records map to Infor CloudSuite Bill of Materials with component items resolved against the Item Master. Routing records (process steps, work centers, cycle times) map to Infor CloudSuite Routing or Work Center definitions. We flag any BOM with a component item not found in the Item Master and hold the BOM for manual resolution. BOM and Routing migration is skipped if the Manufacturing module is not active in the source instance.

Konnect ERP

Custom Fields / User-Defined Fields

maps to

Infor CloudSuite Corporate

Extended Fields / User-Defined Fields

lossy
Fully supported

Konnect ERP user-defined fields on any active module are captured as part of the module-level extraction. We map these to Infor CloudSuite extended fields or user-defined fields using Infor's configuration API. The customer identifies which custom fields are business-critical during scoping; fields not identified are excluded. Custom field type mapping (text to text, number to number, date to date) is validated before import, and type mismatches are escalated.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Konnect ERP has no public API for automated export

    Konnect ERP does not publish REST API endpoints, authentication documentation, or a bulk export mechanism. Migration scoping cannot begin with programmatic enumeration of the data model. We begin with a live-instance data audit walkthrough using a customer-provided login, then extract each active module independently. This manual scoping step adds 1-2 days to the project timeline compared to platforms with open APIs. We document the actual tables and fields observed in the live instance rather than inferring them from external documentation.

  • Infor CloudSuite requires SQL Server as migration source database

    The Infor CloudSuite Migration Utility requires the source database to be SQL Server 2008 or later with network connectivity to the Infor migration database. Konnect ERP's underlying database technology is not publicly documented, and there is no guaranteed path to a SQL Server export without Konnect Analytics support. We evaluate three extraction paths during scoping: direct SQL query if Konnect ERP runs on SQL Server internally, CSV export from the Konnect ERP UI for supported modules, and structured data extraction via the Konnect Analytics professional services team. The chosen path determines whether the Infor Migration Utility can be used directly or whether FlitStack AI handles the export and transformation independently.

  • HSN and SAC tax codes must be pre-mapped before GST record import

    Konnect ERP stores HSN codes for goods and SAC codes for services as part of its E-Invoicing and E-Way Bill records. Infor CloudSuite uses a jurisdiction-specific tax code table that may not contain the same HSN/SAC values. We generate a pre-migration gap report listing every unique HSN/SAC code in Konnect ERP with no corresponding Infor tax code entry. The customer's Infor administrator creates the missing tax codes in Infor CloudSuite before the GST transaction import runs. Skipping this step causes the import to fail validation for every transaction with an unmapped tax code.

  • Master data must load in strict dependency sequence in Infor CloudSuite

    Infor CloudSuite enforces a load order for master data due to table-level foreign-key dependencies. Chart of Accounts types must load before individual accounts; Business Partners must load before invoices and projects; Items must load before BOMs and invoices; Employees must load before timesheets and payroll records. We follow the Infor-documented migration sequence explicitly and do not begin dependent object imports until their prerequisites are confirmed loaded. Any Konnect ERP record that references a parent record not yet migrated is held in a dependency queue and processed after the parent loads.

  • Konnect ERP module activation varies by customer configuration

    Konnect ERP allows customers to activate or deactivate modules independently. We must confirm which modules are active in the source instance before migration begins. A customer using only Projects and Accounting in Konnect ERP will not have Employee records to migrate, and attempting to import an empty Employee dataset or a dataset from a deactivated module into Infor CloudSuite creates orphaned data or validation errors. We issue a module activation confirmation checklist at the start of every engagement and update the migration scope accordingly.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Konnect ERP to Infor CloudSuite Corporate data migration

  1. Live-instance data audit and module confirmation

    We conduct a scoped data audit using customer-provided live credentials to Konnect ERP. We walk through every active module (Customers, Items, Projects, Employees, Vendors, GST Transactions, Chart of Accounts, Inventory, Manufacturing if applicable) and document the actual record counts, field names observed per module, and any cross-references between modules. We confirm which Konnect ERP modules are active and which are not, and we validate the database connectivity path (SQL Server direct, CSV export, or Konnect Analytics services) for the migration extraction. The audit output is a written Migration Data Map identifying the exact tables, fields, and record counts to be migrated per module.

  2. HSN/SAC tax code gap analysis and mapping table creation

    Before any data extraction begins, we generate the HSN/SAC gap report by reading every unique HSN and SAC code stored in Konnect ERP's E-Invoicing and E-Way Bill records. We compare this against Infor CloudSuite's tax code table for the target jurisdiction and identify every code without a direct match. The customer creates the missing tax codes in Infor CloudSuite's tax configuration. We validate the completed tax code table against the gap report and confirm zero remaining gaps before proceeding to extraction. This step prevents import validation failures during the GST transaction migration phase.

  3. Chart of Accounts mapping table and COA pre-load

    We extract the full Chart of Accounts from Konnect ERP and produce a mapping table that associates each Konnect account code with its Infor CloudSuite equivalent. The customer reviews the mapping table and creates any new Infor accounts required. We validate the load sequence (account types before individual accounts, parent accounts before child accounts) against Infor's documented COA load requirements. The COA loads into Infor CloudSuite first because it is a prerequisite for all financial transactions (invoices, payments, journal entries) that follow.

  4. Master data extraction and sequential load

    We extract master data from Konnect ERP in the Infor-required dependency order: Business Partners (Customers and Vendors), Item Master, Employees, then Projects. Each extraction produces a validated CSV or SQL export that we transform against the mapping table produced in earlier steps. We run the Business Partner import first, then the Item Master, then Employees, then Projects. Record counts are reconciled after each phase against the source Konnect ERP counts. Any record that fails Infor validation (missing required field, invalid foreign key reference, unmapped tax code) is logged to an exception report and held for resolution before the next phase begins.

  5. Transaction and GST record migration

    With master data loaded and validated, we migrate open invoices (AR and AP), timesheet entries, inventory on-hand quantities, and GST transaction records. Open invoices carry forward with their current status (open, overdue, partially paid) and outstanding amounts. GST transaction records import with HSN/SAC codes already validated in the gap analysis step. Inventory quantities load with warehouse-to-site mapping confirmed. Each transaction type runs as a separate phase with row-count reconciliation before the next phase begins. We do not migrate closed historical invoices unless specifically requested because Infor CloudSuite's migration utility is designed for open and active transaction carryforward.

  6. Cutover, delta reconciliation, and workflow inventory delivery

    We freeze writes to Konnect ERP during the cutover window and run a final delta migration of any records modified or created during the migration window. We perform a final row-count reconciliation across all object types and deliver a migration completion report to the customer's implementation team. We deliver a separate Workflow and Automation Inventory document listing every identified Konnect ERP workflow, approval rule, and scheduled job requiring rebuild in Infor CloudSuite. We do not rebuild these as Infor configurations inside the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's Infor implementation partner or internal team. We offer a two-week post-migration support window for data discrepancy resolution.

Most migrations land between eight and twelve weeks for customers with active Customers, Items, Projects, and Employees modules and under 10,000 customer records. Migrations with multiple active Konnect ERP modules (including Manufacturing, Inventory, and GST transaction history), large GST records sets (over 100,000 E-Invoicing entries), complex Chart of Accounts hierarchies, or open invoice carryforward spanning multiple fiscal periods move to fourteen to twenty-two weeks. The manual scoping phase (live-instance audit without a public API) adds two to three days to the front end of every engagement regardless of data volume.
